DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Assessment: 

Jessamine County and Madison 

County, KY 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI). 

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that FHWA 

will prepare an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) to determine the need 

for a Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) or an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS)/Record of Decision 

(ROD) for a new connector between US 

27 in Jessamine County, KY and 1–75 in 

Madison County, KY. This project will 

adhere to the requirements of Section 

6002 of SAFETEA–LU. The purpose of 

the 1–75 Connector project is to 

improve regional access and east-west 

connectivity. Comments on the scope of 

the EA for the proposed project should 

be forwarded no later than May 1, 2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Federal Highway Administration, 

Kentucky Division: Mr. Ian Chidister, 

Environmental Specialist, 330 West 

Broadway, Frankfort, KY 40601. Ian 

may be reached by phone at 502–223– 

6730, or by email at 

Ian.Chidister@dot.gov. For additional 

information, contact Ananias Calvin, 

P.E., Project Manager for the Kentucky 

Transportation Cabinet, at (859) 246- 

2355 or via email at 

Ananias.Calvin@ky.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the 

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet 

(KYTC), will prepare an EA to 

determine the need for a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) or an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/ 

Record of Decision (ROD) for a new 

connector between US 27 in Jessamine 

County, KY and 1–75 in Madison 

County, KY. The study area extends 

from the proposed Eastern Nicholasville 

Bypass (US 27) to 1–75 near the KY 627 

Interchange, including a new crossing at 

the Kentucky River. The nearest 

alternate connection between the two 

routes is Man O’ War Boulevard in 

Lexington, KY. KY 169 also provides a 

rural route between Nicholasville, KY 

and Richmond, KY; however, the only 

Kentucky River crossing on this route is 

provided by the Valley View Ferry, an 

automobile-only ferry service that 

provides cross river service during 

limited service hours. 

The objective of this study is to 

identify alternative corridors for the 1– 

75 Jessamine County Connector while 

considering environmental, social, 

engineering, costs and other factors in 

the project vicinity. This study will 

conform to Kentucky’s environmental 

guidance and the SAFETEA–LU Section 

6002 requirements. 

Environmental Issues: Possible 

environmental impacts include effects 

to historical properties or farmland; 

increased noise; viewshed impacts; 

impacts to water resources, flood plains, 

prime farmland, sensitive biological 

species and their habitat; land use 

compatibility impacts; community 

impacts; and impacts to agricultural 

lands. 

Alternatives: The EA will consider 

alternatives that include the No-Build 

(Do Nothing) Alternative as well as a 

range of build alternatives on new 

alignment. 

Public and Agency Participation: 

FHWA encourages broad participation 

in the EA process and review of the 

resulting environmental documents. 

Comments, questions, and suggestions 

related to the project and potential 

socioeconomic and environmental 

concerns are invited from all interested 

agencies and the public at large to 

ensure that the full range of issues 

related to the proposed action and all 

reasonable alternatives are considered 

and all significant issues are identified. 

These comments, questions, and 

suggestions should be forwarded to 

either phone number or email address 

listed above. 

Early Coordination Letters will be 

sent to the appropriate Federal, State 

and local agencies in the Spring of 2012 

describing the project, following a 

project kick-off coordinated through a 

media news release. An invitation letter 

will be sent to potential Cooperating 

Agencies, Participating Agencies, and 

Section 106 Consulting Parties inviting 

the agencies to officially take part in the 

study, encouraging agency comments 

and suggestions concerning the 

proposed project, and further defining

the roles of Agencies. The draft purpose 

and need for the project will be 

developed and preliminary alternatives 

identified. The agencies, stakeholders, 

and public will have an opportunity to 

review and comment on this 

information. The purpose and need and 

preliminary alternatives will be 

available for public review during a 

Citizens’ Advisory Committee Meeting 

and Public Workshop. Public notice will 

be given as to the time and place of the 

meetings. Agencies and the public will 

also have an opportunity to comment on 

various study findings, including: (1) 

Definition of purpose and need; (2) 

establishment of screening criteria; (3) 

screening of initial alternatives; (4) 

selection of final alternatives; and (5) for 

the review of environmental 

documentation. Citizens’ Advisory 

Committee meetings and public 

meetings will be conducted regularly as 

the project moves forward to secure 

input from key stakeholders as 

decisions are made. 

Notices of availability for the purpose 

and need and identification of 

preliminary alternatives, evaluation and 

screening of preliminary alternatives, 

and identification of final alternatives 

will be provided through direct mail, 

email, the project Web site available at 

www.I–75connector.com, and other 

media. Notification also will be sent to 

Federal, State, local agencies, persons 

and organizations that submit comments 

or questions. Precise schedules and 

locations for public meetings will be 

announced in the local news media and 

the project Web site. Interested 

individuals and organizations may 

request to be included on the mailing 

list for distribution of meeting 

announcements and associated 

information. 

Other Approvals for Federal Permits: 

The following approvals for federal 

permits are anticipated to be required:

from the US Coast Guard and the 

Section 404 Permit from the Army 

Corps of Engineers. Additionally, a

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 35571] 

Amtrak’s Petition for Determination of 

PRIIA Section 209 Cost Methodology 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board. 

ACTION: Adoption of methodology to 

establish and allocate costs for statesupported Amtrak routes. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the 

adoption of a methodology to establish 

and allocate costs for state-supported 

Amtrak routes. Amtrak developed this 

methodology in consultation with 

affected states, pursuant to Section 209 

of the Passenger Rail Investment and 

Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA). 

Following consultations, the affected 

states agreed to adoption of the 

methodology, with the exception of 

Indiana. Indiana advised Amtrak that it 

did not accept the proposed 

methodology, but did not offer any 

explanation for its decision. In light of 

Indiana’s decision, Amtrak 

subsequently filed its petition with the 

Board, seeking adoption of the 

methodology. 

By decision served on March 15, 

2012, the Board finds that the 

methodology meets the requirements of 

PRIIA Section 209(a) and should be 

implemented by Amtrak in accordance 

with PRIIA Section 209(c). The 

methodology is a single, nationwide 

standardized methodology for 

establishing and allocating the operating 

and capital costs among the states and 

Amtrak, associated with the trains 

operated on the routes subject to PRIIA 

Section 209(a). Upon review of the 

methodology and the facts and 

circumstances surrounding its 

development, the Board concludes that 

the methodology will: (1) Ensure equal 

treatment in the provision of like 

services of all states and groups of 

states; and (2) allocate to each route the 

costs incurred only for the benefit of 

that route and a proportionate share, 

based upon factors that reasonably 

reflect relative use, of costs incurred for 

the common benefit of more than one 

route. The decision will become 

effective on April 14, 2012. The entire 

Board decision is available on the 

Board’s Web site at www.stb.dot.gov. 

This decision will not significantly 

affect either the human environment or 

the conservation of energy resources. 

Decided: March 13, 2012. 

By the Board, Chairman Elliott, Vice 

Chairman Mulvey, and Commissioner 

Begeman.
