SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Emergency Relief Funding

Applications.

OMB Number: 2125–0525.

Background: 23 U.S.C. 125 requires

States to submit an application for

emergency relief (ER) funds to the

Federal Highway Administration. The

ER funds are established for the repair

or reconstruction of Federal-aid

highways and Federal roads which are

found to have suffered serious damage

by natural disasters over a wide area or

serious damage from catastrophic

failures. The information is needed for

the FHWA to fulfill its statutory

obligations regarding funding

determinations on emergency work to

repair highway facilities. The

requirements covering the FHWA ER

program are contained in 23 CFR part

668.

Respondents: State Highway

Agencies.

Estimated Annual Burden on

Respondents: The amount of time

required depends on the nature of the

event, the extent of damage, among

other things, and varies widely among

applications by the same State and

among States. On the average, it is

estimated to require approximately 150

hours of professional staff time

(engineering) plus 50 hours of

secretarial staff time (typing and editing)

for a total of 200 hours per application.

The estimated average annual burden

for all respondents per year would be

7,200 hours (i.e., 36 applications times

200 hours per application).

Authority: 23 U.S.C. 125; 23 CFR 668.

Issued on: November 18, 1997.

Environmental Impact Statement;

Henderson and Warren Counties,

Illinois

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA) DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

will be prepared for the construction of

U.S. Route 34 as a four-lane highway.

The proposed project will extend from

east of the Village of Gulfport in

Henderson County, Illinois to the

vicinity of Monmouth in Warren

County, Illinois.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Engineer, Federal Highway

Illinois Department of Transportation,

401 Main Street, Peoria, Illinois

61602–1111, Phone: (309) 671–3333.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

proposed action is the construction of a

four-lane divided highway in

Henderson and Warren Counties,

Illinois which will be approximately 47

km (29 miles) in length. The project will

begin just east of Gulfport, Illinois

extending east through a corridor in the

vicinity of U.S. Route 34, ending east of

Monmouth, Illinois. The proposed

project may bypass communities within

its limits.

The proposed action will enhance

traffic access, improve traffic

circulation, provide safer and more

efficient access to the urban area,

provide a divided highway design for

high operating speeds and continuity

from the Illinois/Iowa border to I–74 in

Galesburg, Illinois. Primary

environmental resources which may be

impacted are local property tax income,

agricultural land and wetlands.

Alternatives under consideration

include: (1) Taking no action or (2)

improvement of the existing two-lane

roadway to a four-lane facility between

Gulfport and U.S. Route 67 including

improvement of the existing northwest

bypass around Monmouth. Several

proposed alignment alternatives will be

evaluated.

The scoping process undertaken as

part of this proposed project will

include distribution of a scoping

information packet, coordination with

appropriate Federal, State, and local

agencies, and review sessions as

needed. A formal scoping information

packet may be obtained from one to the

contact persons listed above.

To ensure that the full range of issues

related to the proposed action are

addressed and all significant issues

identified, a comprehensive public

involvement program will be

undertaken. A public meeting

concerning the proposed action will be

held in the study area prior to the public

hearing. Public notice will be given of

the time and place of the meeting and

hearing. The Draft EIS will be available

for public agency review and comment

and suggestions are invited from all

interested parties. Comments or

questions concerning this proposed

action and the EIS should be directed to

the FHWA or Illinois Department of

Transportation contact persons.
