published for comment in the Federal 

Register on July 26, 2018.3 The 

Commission has received no comment 

letters on the proposed rule change. 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 4 provides 

that within 45 days of the publication of 

notice of the filing of a proposed rule 

change, or within such longer period up 

to 90 days as the Commission may 

designate if it finds such longer period 

to be appropriate and publishes its 

reasons for so finding, or as to which the 

self-regulatory organization consents, 

the Commission shall either approve the 

proposed rule change, disapprove the 

proposed rule change, or institute 

proceedings to determine whether the 

proposed rule change should be 

disapproved. The 45th day after 

publication of the notice for this 

proposed rule change is September 9, 

2018. 

The Commission is extending the 45- 

day time period for Commission action 

on the proposed rule change. The 

Commission finds it appropriate to 

designate a longer period within which 

to take action on the proposed rule 

change so that it has sufficient time to 

consider the proposed rule change. 

Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant 

to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act and for the 

reasons stated above,5 designates 

October 24, 2018, as the date by which 

the Commission shall either approve or 

disapprove, or institute proceedings to 

determine whether to disapprove, the 

proposed rule change (File No. SR–BX– 

2018–025). 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.6

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Notice To Rescind a Notice of Intent To 

Prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Southern Evacuation 

Life Line Project in Georgetown and 

Horry Counties, SC 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice to rescind a Notice of 

Intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that, effective 

immediately, we are rescinding a Notice 

of Intent (NOI) to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the proposed Southern Evacuation 

Life Line (SELL) project in Georgetown 

and Horry counties, South Carolina. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Emily O. Lawton, Division 

Administrator, Federal Highway 

Administration, Strom Thurmond 

Federal Building, 1835 Assembly Street, 

Suite 1270, Columbia, South Carolina 

29201, Telephone: (803) 765–5411, 

Email: emily.lawton@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the South 

Carolina Department of Transportation 

(SCDOT), issued a NOI on March 17, 

2006, to prepare an environmental 

impact statement (EIS) on a proposal for 

a new alignment roadway, known as the 

Southern Evacuation Life Line (SELL), 

located in Georgetown and Horry 

counties, South Carolina. The purpose 

of the project was to establish a new 

alignment hurricane evacuation route 

for the southeastern portion of Horry 

County and the northeastern portion of 

Georgetown County in South Carolina, 

between U.S. 17 near Garden City, SC, 

and U.S. 501 near Aynor, SC. The 

FHWA was initially involved as the lead 

federal agency for this project as there 

was a federal earmark of $4 million 

being used for the project that was being 

administered by FHWA. A Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) 

was prepared and a Notice of 

Availability was issued on August 15, 

2008. However, the proposed project 

was postponed after the DEIS was 

published due a lack of funding at that 

time. The $4 million from the federal 

earmark that was being administered by 

FHWA was completely expended for 

this effort. 

In late 2016, Horry County passed the 

RIDE III Capital Project Sales Tax 

program, which included an allocation 

of $25 million for the SELL project to 

fund preliminary engineering (including 

the preparation of a new environmental 

impact statement), as well as right-ofway acquisition, should a build 

alternative be selected for the project. 

Since the federal earmark has been 

completely expended, and no new 

federal-aid highway program funding 

has been identified for the project, 

FHWA no longer has a federal action 

per Title 23 of the U.S. Code. In 

addition, given the amount of time that 

has passed since the DEIS was 

completed, SCDOT and Horry County 

will essentially need to restart the NEPA 

process for the project. Due to this, the 

FHWA is issuing a Notice to Rescind the 

Notice of Intent to prepare and EIS for 

the SELL project that was initially 

issued March 17, 2006. 

Dated: August 31, 2018.

Division Administrator, Columbia, South 

Carolina.
