BILLING CODE 8011–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Worcester County, MD 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that an 

Environmental Impact Statement will be 

prepared for a proposed bridge project 

in Worcester County, Maryland. The 

purpose of the EIS is to provide 

information and analyses for decisions 

on the project in accordance with the 

policies and purposes of the National 

Environmental Policy Act. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Daniel W. Johnson, Environmental 

Program Leader, Federal Highway 

Administration, City Crescent Building, 

10 South Howard Street, Suite 2450, 

Telephone: (410) 779–7154. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the 

Maryland State Highway 

Administration, U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, US Environmental Protection 

Agency, US Coast Guard, Maryland 

Department of the Environment, US 

Fish and Wildlife Service, and National 

Marine Fisheries Service will prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for roadway improvements which 

address operational inadequacies, safety 

concerns, and structural deficiencies of 

the US 50 crossing of the Sinepuxent 

Bay, Worcester County, MD. 

The study will also address the need 

to safely accommodate the navigational 

needs of boaters, pedestrian and bicycle 

traffic, and the recreational needs of 

fishermen. Pedestrians, fishermen, and 

cyclists currently share a narrow fivefoot sidewalk along the existing bridge, 

which creates potential conflicts among 

the various users. Finally, the study will 

investigate aesthetic enhancements to 

any crossing representative of a coastal 

gateway resort. 

Alternatives under consideration 

include taking no action and four build 

alternatives with various options for a 

new bridge or bridge reconstruction. 

Under all of these alternatives, the 

existing bridge would be retained for 

possible use by pedestrians, cyclists and 

fisherman. The bridge is eligible for 

inclusion in the National Register of 

Historic Places. 

Letters describing the proposed action 

and soliciting comments will be sent to 

appropriate Federal, State, and local 

government agencies, and to private 

organizations and citizens and citizen 

groups who have previously expressed 

or are known to have an interest in this 

proposal. It is anticipated that a Public 

Hearing will be held in the Spring of 

2008. A Draft EIS will be available for 

public and agency review and comment 

prior to the Public Hearing. Public 

notice will be given of the availability 

of the Draft EIS for review and of the 

time and place of the hearing. A 

Scoping Meeting was held in March of 

2005, and Open House Public 

Workshops were held in Ocean City in 

June and October of 2005, June of 2006 

and May/June of 2007, to solicit 

opinions and ideas on proposed 

improvements from local citizens. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to this proposed action are 

addressed and all significant issues 

identified, comments and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning 

these proposed action and EIS should be 

directed to the FHWA at the address 

provided above.

BILLING CODE 4910–22–M 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Notice of Final Federal Agency Actions 

on the Newberg Dundee 

Transportation Improvement Project 

(Tier 1), Oregon 99W: Yamhill County, 

OR 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims 

for Judicial Review of Actions by 

FHWA. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces actions 

taken by the FHWA that are final within 

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

actions relate to a proposed highway 

project, the Newberg Dundee 

Transportation Improvement Project 

(Tier 1), Oregon 99W, extending 

approximately 11 miles from the eastern 

terminus east of Newberg in the Rex Hill 

area, to the western terminus where 

Oregon 99W intersects with OR18 

(McDougal Corner) west of Dundee, near 

Dayton in the County of Yamhill, State 

of Oregon. The Federal actions, taken as 

a result of a tiered environmental review 

process under the National 

Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C. 

4321–4351 (NEPA), and implementing 

regulations on tiering, 40 CFR 1502.20, 

40 CFR 1508.28, and 23 CFR part 771, 

determined certain issues related to the 

proposed project. Those Tier 1 decisions 

will be used by Federal agencies in 

subsequent proceedings, including 

decisions whether to grant licenses, 

permits, and approvals for the highway 

project. Tier 1 decisions also may be 

relied upon by State and local agencies 

in proceedings on the proposed project. 

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA is 

advising the public that it has made 

decisions that are subject to 23 U.S.C. 

139(l)(1) and are final within the 

meaning of that law. A claim seeking 

judicial review of the Tier 1 Federal 

agency decisions on the proposed 

highway project will be barred unless 

the claim is filed on or before May 7, 

2008. If the Federal law that authorizes 

judicial review of a claim provides a 

time period of less than 180 days for 

filing such claim, then that shorter time 

period still applies.
