(JNIM), aka Jamaat Nosrat al-Islam walMouslimin, aka Group for the Support 

of Islam and Muslims, aka Group to 

Support Islam and Muslims, aka GSIM, 

aka GNIM, aka Nusrat al-Islam walMuslimeen, as a Specially Designated 

Global Terrorist 

Acting under the authority of and in 

accordance with section 1(b) of 

Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 

2001, as amended by Executive Order 

13268 of July 2, 2002, and Executive 

Order 13284 of January 23, 2003, I 

hereby determine that the person known 

as Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin 

(JNIM), also known as Jamaat Nosrat alIslam wal-Mouslimin, also known as 

Group for the Support of Islam and 

Muslims, also known as Group to 

Support Islam and Muslims, also known 

as GSIM, also known as GNIM, also 

known as Nusrat al-Islam walMuslimeen, committed, or poses a 

significant risk of committing, acts of 

terrorism that threaten the security of 

U.S. nationals or the national security, 

foreign policy, or economy of the United 

States. 

Consistent with the determination in 

section 10 of Executive Order 13224 that 

prior notice to persons determined to be 

subject to the Order who might have a 

constitutional presence in the United 

States would render ineffectual the 

blocking and other measures authorized 

in the Order because of the ability to 

transfer funds instantaneously, I 

determine that no prior notice needs to 

be provided to any person subject to this 

determination who might have a 

constitutional presence in the United 

States, because to do so would render 

ineffectual the measures authorized in 

the Order. 

This notice shall be published in the 

Federal Register. 

Dated: July 15, 2018.

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Douglas County, Kansas 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

Notice of Intent (NOI) to advise the 

public that a supplement to the final 

environmental impact statement will be 

prepared to address impacts of proposed 

improvements to a section of K–10 

Highway South Lawrence Trafficway, 

located within the south and west limits 

of the City of Lawrence, in Douglas 

County, Kansas.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the Kansas 

Department of Transportation (KDOT), 

will prepare a Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) 

on a proposal to improve K–10/South 

Lawrence Trafficway (SLT) located in 

Douglas County, Kansas. The overall 

project study limits begin just north of 

Interstate 70 at North 1800 Road/ 

Farmer’s Turnpike to just east of the 

existing K–10/23rd Street system 

interchange. The overall length is 19.0 

miles and i5 broken down as follows: 

The West Section begins just north of 

Interstate 70 at North 1800 Road/ 

Farmer’s/Turnpike to US–59/Iowa 

Street (approximately 8.7 miles). The 

East Section begins at US–59/Iowa 

Street and continues to the existing K– 

10/23rd Street system interchange. The 

project study area also includes East 600 

Road/Lecompton Road at Interstate 70 

(approximately 0.6 mile), and U.S. 40 

from K–10 to E 600 Road 

(approximately 4.1 miles). 

A previous Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) was prepared in 1990 

for the overall SLT study area. The 

Purpose and Need stated in that EIS was 

to relieve congestion on existing 23rd 

Street and Iowa Street by diverting 

through and local traffic from these two 

existing streets and Clinton Parkway, 

thereby achieving an improved level of 

traffic service on the local street 

network. The goals of the current 

proposed project on the West Section 

are to increase capacity, enhance safety, 

and address access while balancing 

sensitive project environmental features 

within the project footprint. Also, the 

project will provide an efficient and 

cost-effective transportation facility for 

users of K–10 Highway and the 

surrounding state highway system. 

As an outcome of the approved 1990 

EIS, two expressway lanes of the West 

Section were constructed and opened to 

traffic in each direction in 1996. The 

East Section was not constructed and a 

subsequent SEIS with a ‘‘No Build’’ 

decision was approved in 2000. A 

subsequent EIS, in conjunction with a 

USACE 404 Permit, was completed in 

2002 and adopted and approved by 

FHWA in November 2007. The FHWA 

then issued a Record of Decision (ROD) 

in May 2008. Since the completion of 

the ROD, the East Section four-lane 

freeway was constructed and opened to 

traffic in 2016. 

The current SEIS, as a supplement to 

the original 1990 EIS, will evaluate a 

‘No Action’ alternative as well as a 

combination of toll-free and tolled build 

alternatives for the entire SLT study 

area. Roadway configuration options 

will be evaluated for the West Section, 

including upgrading the West Section as 

a four-lane freeway with controlled 

access and interchanges at West 6th 

Street/U.S. 40, Bob Billings Parkway, 

Clinton Parkway, an interchange 

between Wakarusa Drive and Kasold 

Drive, and at U.S. 59/Iowa Street. Also, 

there will be discussions about 

interchange alternatives at I–70/East 600 

Road/Lecompton Road and K–10/I–70/ 

North 1800 Road. 

A formal scoping process will be 

initiated that involves appropriate 

Federal, State, and local agencies, as 

well as stakeholders and the public. 

This will continue throughout the study 

to engage the local and regional 

community, to obtain public input and 

to keep the public informed. 

Coordination meetings will be held as 

needed with affected/concerned local, 

State, Tribal, and Federal governmental 

entities. Public hearings will be held to 

present the findings of the SEIS. The 

SEIS will be made available for public 

and agency review and comment prior 

to the public hearings. 

The FHWA and KDOT plan to prepare 

a combined Final SEIS/Record of 

Decision for the project. The SEIS will 

analyze the potential social, economic, 

and environmental impacts resulting 

from the proposed project. The 

following issues will be specifically 

analyzed as part of the SEIS: Impacts to 

the aquatic ecosystem; impacts to 

cultural resources; impacts to 

threatened and endangered species; 

impacts to floodplains; impacts to 

transportation; impacts to parks/ 

recreation; environmental justice; 

secondary and cumulative impacts; and 

socioeconomics. This analysis will 

include a detailed examination of direct, 

indirect and cumulative impacts that 

could result from the construction of a 

selected alternative emanating from this 

SEIS. Other Federal approvals or 

permits that may be required include a 

Section 404 Permit from the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers (USACE), a 

floodplain development permit from the 

state office of the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA), as well as 

water resource and floodplain permits 

from the Kansas Division of Water 

Resources. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to the proposed action are 

addressed and all significant issues 

defined, comments and suggestions are 

invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning the 

proposed action and the SETS should be 

directed to FHWA or KDOT at the 

addresses provided above. 

Issued on: August 22, 2018.

Division Administrator FHWA—Kansas 

Division.
