DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Atlanta to Charlotte Portion of the 

Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor 

AGENCY: Federal Rail Administration 

(FRA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare 

an Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS). 

SUMMARY: The FRA is issuing this 

Notice of Intent to advise the public that 

FRA, jointly with the Georgia 

Department of Transportation (GDOT), 

will prepare a Tier 1 Environmental 

Impact Statement (Study) to evaluate 

potential passenger rail improvements 

between Atlanta, GA and Charlotte, NC, 

along the Southeast High-Speed Rail 

Corridor (SEHSR) as designated by the 

USDOT. The Study is being advanced 

consistent with the federal High-Speed 

Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) 

program and includes the development 

of a Passenger Rail Corridor Investment 

Plan (PRCIP). A PRCIP provides the data 

necessary to support an FRA decision to 

fund and implement major investments 

in a passenger rail corridor. A PRCIP is 

comprised of two components: A Tier 1 

EIS and a Service Development Plan 

(SDP). The Tier 1 EIS will address 

documentation on a broad corridor-level 

basis and be developed in accordance 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations, and FRA’s Procedures for 

Considering Environmental Impacts. 

The SDP addresses the overall scope, 

alternatives, approach and business case 

for proposed service and improvements. 

DATES: FRA invites the public, 

governmental agencies, and all other 

interested parties to comment on the 

scope of the EIS. Written comment(s) on 

the scope of the Tier 1 EIS should be 

provided to GDOT or FRA by June 7, 

2013 at the addresses below. Federal, 

state and local agencies are invited to 

attend one (1) web-based Agency 

Scoping Meeting. Three (3) Public Open 

House Meetings will follow the Agency 

Scoping Meeting, one to be held in each 

of the three study area states (Georgia, 

North Carolina, and South Carolina). 

Dates, locations and times for meetings 

and related information can be found on 

the Project Web site: www.dot.ga.gov/ 

AtlantaCharlotteHSR. 

ADDRESSES: Comments related to the 

scope of the study may be mailed to
