# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice is hereby given that the FHWA and other Federal agencies have taken final agency actions by issuing approvals for the State Route 11 and Otay Mesa Port of Entry in project in the State of California. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has selected the Western Alternative for the future State Route (SR-) 11 Corridor and the associated Western Site for future development of the Otay Mesa East Port of Entry (POE) in San Diego County, California. The selection of a corridor and site constitute Tier I of the SR-11 and Otay Mesa East POE program. This will allow for the following decisions/actions: (1) Corridor adoption by the California Transportation Commission (CTC); (2) consideration and approval of a conditional Presidential Permit for the POE by the U.S. Department of State (DOS); (3) facilitation of land use and circulation planning in the East Otay Mesa Specific Plan (EOMSP) area by local agencies; (4) support of international cooperation efforts to pursue the development of a new Otay Mesa East POE, and (5) possible future designation of right-of-way (R/W) for each facility. FHWA based its decision on the Final Program Environmental Impact Report/Tier I Environmental Impact Statement for the program (PEIR/PEIS, August 2008) and its supporting studies. With adoption of a Record of Decision (ROD) by FHWA and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and the use of the PEIR/PEIS and its supporting studies by the General Services Administration (GSA) to make its own POE site location NEPA determination, these agencies will proceed with identification and analysis of design and operational alternatives for SR-11 and the POE, and environmental processing of the projects under Tier II, with the knowledge that the overall program has been approved.

Actions by the Federal agencies and the laws under which such actions were taken are described in the Final Environmental Assessment for the project. The Record of Decision (ROD) was approved on October 3, 2008.
