Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement:

Grant and Lafayette Counties, WI

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 (EIS)

will be prepared for the proposed

improvement of USH 151 between

Belmont and Dickeyville in Grant and

Lafayette Counties, Wisconsin.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Richard C. Madrzak, Statewide

Projects Engineer, Federal Highway

Administration, 4502 Vernon

Boulevard, Madison, Wisconsin 53705–

4905. Telephone (608) 264–5968.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the

Wisconsin Department of

Transportation, will prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement to

improve US Highway 151 (USH 151)

from west of the Village of Belmont to

south of the Village of Dickeyville, a

distance of about 29 km (18 mi).

The improvement of USH 151, which

is primarily a two-lane rural highway, is

being considered to improve traffic

operation and safety while enhancing

economic development potential for the

USH 151 corridor from Dubuque, Iowa

to Madison, Wisconsin. The Wisconsin

Department of Transportation’s

Corridors 2020 Program, which provides

a network of multi-lane highways

serving statewide and regional

transportation needs, includes this

segment of USH 151 on the backbone

network. Service expectation for the

backbone network is for improvement to

a 4-lane divided highway built to

expressway standards, with full access

control on relocation portions of the

route.

Planning, environmental and

engineering studies are underway to

develop transportation alternatives. The

EIS will assess the environmental

impacts of alternatives including (1) Nobuild; (2) improvements along the

existing rural corridor, with possible

relocated alignments along portions of

the route; (3) bypass corridors around

the Village of Dickeyville; and (4)

bypass corridors around the City of

Platteville.

Information describing the proposed

action and soliciting comments will be

sent to appropriate Federal, State and

local agencies and to private

organizations and citizens who have

previously expressed, or are known to

have interest in this proposal. A series

of public meetings will be held in the

project corridor throughout the data

gathering and development of

alternatives. In addition, a public

hearing will be held. Public notice will

be given of the time and place of the

meetings and hearing. The Draft EIS will

be available for public and agency

review and comment prior to the

hearing. As part of the scoping process,

coordination activities have begun.

Scoping meetings will continue to be

held on an individual or group meeting

basis. Agency coordination will be

accomplished during these meetings.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to the Bureau’s authorizing legislation,

programs must maintain a non-political

character and should be balanced and

representative of the diversity of

American political, social, and cultural

life. ‘‘Diversity’’ should be interpreted

in the broadest sense and encompass

differences including but not limited to

race, gender, religion, geographic

location, socio-economic status, and

physical challenges. Applicants are

strongly encouraged to adhere to the

advancement of this principle.

Overview

The goal of the program is to support

the economic and democratic

development of Burma by helping to

educate potential leaders of Burma who

could assist that country in future

transition to a democratic government.

It is USIA’s intent to provide grantees

with programs of the highest quality

that meet their academic and personal

needs and to further the Agency’s

mission to promote mutual

understanding.

Guidelines

Project Description

A. The applicant shall design a

proposal to recruit, nominate, select,

place and monitor the Burmese students

in accredited U.S. academic institutions

for academic programs lasting a

minimum of one year.

Note: Funding for the entire period of the

student program should be projected in the

proposal.

B. Students should be selected for

either an undergraduate program or a

graduate level program as appropriate.

Programs shall include such

enhancements as pre-departure and

arrival orientations and interim

workshops focusing on assessment of

skills development and transition into

the workplace and related adjustments.

C. Given the language difficulties

experienced by most of the previous

Burmese Refugee grantees, the programs

may include an intensive English

language study component.

D. The organization must work with

USIA, INS and the American Embassy

in Bangkok to coordinate public interest

parole status for the grantees since they

are not eligible for J–1 visas.

E. Since it is unlikely that the grantees

will be able to return to Burma at the

conclusion of the program, the

organization must provide relocation

assistance to them at the time their

studies are terminated.

F. Program participants must carry the

requisite level of health and accident

insurance.

Proposed Budget

USIA anticipates awarding one grant

not to exceed $300,000 for this program.

Organizations must submit a

comprehensive line item budget,

including a budget summary page,

based on the specific guidance in the

Application Package.

Please note that it is required that

requested administrative funds,

including indirect costs and
