Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 73 / Tuesday, April 17, 2007 / Notices 19229 

Interested parties may consult the 

Tier 1 ROD and Tier 1 FEIS for details 

about each of the decisions described 

above and for information on other 

issues decided. The documents are 

available as described below. 

Following the completion of the Tier 

1 ROD, interested parties submitted 

comments suggesting that new 

information existed that might affect the 

Tier 1 FEIS analyses and the Federal 

decisions based on those analyses. In 

response, the FHWA reevaluated the 

project and decided that the changes 

that occurred following the ROD did not 

individually or collectively require 

supplementation of the Tier 1 FEIS. 

The Tier 1 FEIS (issued on December 

5, 2003), the Tier 1 ROD (issued on 

March 24, 2004), the FHWA decision 

that supplementation of the Tier 1 FEIS 

is not required (issued on February 12, 

2007), and other documents in the 

project records are available by 

contacting the FHWA or the INDOT at 

the addresses provided above. Interested 

parties also may view or download the 

FHWA Tier 1 FEIS, Tier 1 ROD, the 

decision not to prepare a Tier 1 

supplemental EIS, the related 

reevaluation report, and INDOT 

responses to comments on the 

reevaluation report at the project Web 

site, http://deis.i69indyevn.org/, or by 

contacting FHWA or INDOT at the 

addresses listed above. 

Actions taken by the USFWS, 

pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, 

16 U.S.C. 1531–1544, include its 

concurrence with the FHWA’s 

determination that the I–69 project is 

not likely to adversely affect the eastern 

fanshell mussel (Cyprogenia stegaria) 

and that the project is still likely to 

adversely affect, but not jeopardize, the 

bald eagle. The USFWS concluded that 

the project is not likely to jeopardize the 

continued existence of the Indiana bat 

and is not likely to adversely modify the 

bat’s designated Critical Habitat. The 

USFWS decisions are described in the 

Programmatic Biological Opinion issued 

on December 3, 2003, the Revised 

Programmatic Biological Opinion issued 

on August 24, 2006, and other 

documents in the project records. These 

opinions, and other project records 

relating to the USFWS actions, are 

available by contacting the FHWA, 

INDOT, or USFWS at the addresses 

provided above. The Programmatic 

Biological Opinion can be viewed in the 

Appendices Section and downloaded
