roadway deficiencies, bike and 

pedestrian accommodations, and travel 

demand and capacity). Because of fiscal 

constraints, a commitment to 

improvements that address all of the 

need factors could not be made and the 

environmental review process is being 

converted from a standard EIS to a Tier 

1 EIS. 

The FHWA, in cooperation with the 

Wisconsin Department of 

Transportation (WisDOT), will prepare a 

Tier 1 EIS for proposed improvements 

to address safety, operational and 

capacity concerns on approximately 18 

miles of US 51 between Interstate 39/90, 

east of the City of Stoughton, to US 12/ 

18 (Madison South Beltline Highway), 

north of the Village of McFarland. The 

study will also examine a bypass of 

Stoughton, as well as potential 

operational improvements on existing 

US 51 in Stoughton. As alternatives to 

capacity improvements on US 51, the 

study will consider improvements on 

highways other than US 51 that might 

address the needs of travelers between 

the southeast portion of Dane County 

and the Madison Urban area. The Tier 

1 EIS will evaluate the social, economic, 

and environmental impacts of the 

alternatives within the existing US 51 

highway corridor, and other full build 

improvements on other regional 

highway corridors. The objective of this 

project is to address existing and future 

transportation demand and safety 

concerns as identified in the US 51 

Needs Assessment Report. The Tier 1 

EIS will be prepared in accordance with 

23 U.S.C. 139, 23 CFR 771, and 40 CFR 

1500–1508. Completion of the Tier 1 EIS 

and the Record of Decision (ROD) is 

expected in 2018. 

Public involvement is a critical 

component of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

will occur throughout the development 

of the draft and final Tier 1 EIS. All 

environmental documents will be made 

available for review by federal and state 

resource agencies and the public. 

Specific efforts to encourage 

involvement by, and solicit comments 

from, minority and low-income 

populations in the project study area 

will be made, with public involvement 

meetings held throughout the 

environmental document process. 

Public notice will be given as to the 

time and place of public involvement 

meetings. A public hearing will be held 

after the completion of the Draft Tier 1 

EIS. 

Inquiries related to this study can be 

sent to jeff.berens@dot.wi.gov. A public 

Web site will be maintained throughout 

the study to provided information about 

the project and allow for on-line public 

comment (http:// 

www.dot.wisconsin.gov/projects/ 

swregion/5139901218/index.htm). To 

ensure the full range of issues related to 

the proposed action are addressed and 

all significant issues identified, 

comments and suggestions are invited 

from all interested parties. Comments 

and questions concerning the proposed 

action and this notice should be 

directed to the FHWA address provided 

above. 

Projects receiving Federal funds must 

comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights 

Act, and Executive Order 12898 

‘‘Federal Actions to Address 

Environmental Justice in Minority 

Populations and Low-Income 

Populations.’’ Federal law prohibits 

discrimination on the basis of race, 

color, age, sex, or country of national 

origin in the implementation of this 

project. It is also Federal policy to 

identify and address any 

disproportionately high and adverse 

effects of federal projects on the health 

or environment of minority and lowincome populations to the greatest 

extent practicable and permitted by law.

Federal Highway Administration 

Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions 

on Proposed Highway in Texas 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT 

ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims 

for Judicial Review of Actions by FHWA 

and Other Federal Agencies 

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions 

taken by the FHWA and other Federal 

agencies that are final within the 

meaning of 23 U.S.C. § 139(l)(1). The 

actions relate to a proposed highway 

project, Trinity Parkway from Interstate 

Highway 35 East (IH35E)/State Highway 

(SH) 183 to U.S. 175/SH 310 in the 

County of Dallas, State of Texas. Those 

actions grant licenses, permits, and 

approvals for the project. 

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA is 

advising the public of final agency 

actions subject to 23 U.S.C. § 139(l)(1). 

A claim seeking judicial review of the 

Federal agency actions on the highway 

project will be barred unless the claim 

is filed on or before September 8, 2015. 

If the Federal law that authorizes 

judicial review of a claim provides a 

time period of less than 150 days for 

filing such claim, then that shorter time 

period still applies. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Achille Alonzi, Division Administrator, 

Texas Division, Federal Highway 

Administration, 300 E. 8th Street, Room 

826, Austin, Texas 78701; 8:00 a.m. to 

5:00 p.m. (central daylight time) 

Monday through Friday, 512–536–5902; 

email: al.alonzi@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that the FHWA and other 

Federal agencies have taken final agency 

actions by issuing licenses, permits, and 

approvals for the following highway 

project in the State of Texas: The Trinity 

Parkway (Texas Department of 

Transportation CSJ 0918–45–121) would 

consist of a limited-access toll facility 

on new location in the City of Dallas, 

extending from the IH 35E/SH 183 

interchange (northern terminus) to the 

US 175/SH 310 interchange (southern 

terminus), a distance of approximately 

nine miles. The facility would 

ultimately consist of six mixed-flow 

tolled mainlanes, local street 

interchanges, and interchanges at the 

northern terminus, southern terminus, 

Woodall Rodgers Freeway, and IH 45. 

The primary purpose for the Trinity 

Parkway is to manage congestion on 

existing highways through the 

downtown Dallas area. Trinity Parkway 

would help manage congestion on IH 

35E (Lower Stemmons and South R.L. 

Thornton Freeways), IH 30, and other 

major transportation facilities within the 

Trinity Parkway project area to improve 

mobility and safety, and thereby 

increase accessibility to businesses and 

public facilities. 

The actions by the Federal agencies, 

and the laws under which such actions 

were taken, are described in the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) 

for the project, approved on March 7, 

2014, in the FHWA Record of Decision 

(ROD) issued on April 2, 2015, and in 

other documents in the FHWA 

administrative record. The FEIS, ROD, 

and other documents in the FHWA 

administrative record file are available

provided above. The FHWA FEIS and 

ROD can be viewed and downloaded
