14926 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 41 / Thursday, February 29, 2024 / Notices 

Advisory Group comprised of local 

interests and representation to provide 

feedback and share information 

throughout Program development. 

The public and agency Scoping 

process is continuing with the 

publication of this NOI. Publication of 

this NOI initiates a 30-day Scoping 

period during which time the public, 

Tribal governments and other Federal, 

State, and local agencies are requested 

to review and comment on any element 

of the Cape Cod Bridges Program, 

including the Purpose and Need for the 

proposed action; the Alternatives 

Retained for Detailed Study; and 

identification of any potentially 

significant adverse environmental 

impacts to be evaluated in the EIS. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to the Cape Cod Bridges Program 

is addressed, and all significant issues 

are identified, comments and 

suggestions are invited from all 

interested parties during Scoping. The 

FHWA will hold at least one public 

Scoping meeting upon publication of 

this NOI as part of the Scoping process 

for the EIS. Advanced notice of the date, 

time and location of the public Scoping 

meeting will be provided to the public 

through the Program website, public 

notices, and press releases. Such 

comments or questions concerning this 

Notice and/or the scope of the EIS, 

including the Purpose and Need, 

Alternatives Retained for Detailed 

Study, and impacts to be evaluated, may 

be submitted via the Program website or 

in writing to FHWA or MassDOT at the 

addresses provided above. Public input 

received during the Scoping process 

will be considered in the development 

of the DEIS. Once complete, the DEIS 

will be available for agency review and 

comment prior to the DEIS Public 

Hearing and for public review at the 

DEIS Public Hearing. Advanced notice 

of the date, time and location of the 

Public Hearing will be provided to the 

public through the Program website, 

public notices, and press releases. All 

substantive public comments on the 

DEIS will be addressed in the Final EIS 

(FEIS). 

The FHWA intends to issue a single 

document that consists of the FEIS and 

ROD pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 304a(b) [and 

23 U.S.C. 139(n)(2)] unless FHWA 

determines that statutory criteria or 

practicability considerations preclude 

issuance of such a combined document. 

(g) Request for Identification of Potential 

Alternatives, Information, and Analyses 

Relevant to the Proposed Action 

To ensure that a full range of issues 

related to the Cape Cod Bridges Program 

is addressed and all potential issues are 

identified, FHWA invites comments and 

suggestions from all interested parties. 

The FHWA requests comments and 

suggestions on potential alternatives 

and impacts, and the identification of 

any relevant information, studies, or 

analyses of any kind concerning impacts 

affecting the quality of the human and 

natural environment. Any information 

presented herein, including the Purpose 

and Need, Alternatives Retained for 

Detailed Study, and identification of 

impacts, may be revised after 

consideration of the comments. The 

purpose of this request is to bring 

relevant comments, information, and 

analyses to the attention of FHWA, as 

early in the process as possible, to 

enable FHWA to make maximum use of 

this information in decision making. 

Comments may be submitted according 

to the instructions in the ADDRESSES

section of this Notice.
