DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Transit Administration 

Notice to Rescind Notice of Intent To 

Prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement and Environmental 

Assessment for the I–20 East Transit 

Initiative in the City of Atlanta and 

DeKalb County, Georgia 

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration 

(FTA), DOT. 

ACTION: Rescind Notice of Intent to 

prepare an environmental impact 

statement and environmental 

assessment. 

SUMMARY: The FTA in cooperation with 

the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit 

Authority (MARTA) is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that the 

Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

and Environmental Assessment (EA) for 

the proposed public transportation 

improvement project in the City of 

Atlanta and DeKalb County, Georgia is 

being rescinded.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FTA, 

as lead federal agency, and MARTA 

published a NOI on August 28, 2012 (77 

FR 52128) to prepare an EIS and EA for 

the MARTA I–20 East Transit Initiative 

project. This project would extend the 

existing east-west rail Heavy Rail 

Transit (HRT) line from the Indian 

Creek Station to the Mall at Stonecrest 

in eastern DeKalb County and also 

create a new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) 

service along I–20 between downtown 

Atlanta and a new station at Wesley 

Chapel Road, east of I–285 in DeKalb 

County. 

Since that time, FTA and MARTA 

have conducted scoping activities 

which have led to reevaluating the 

project in terms of Purpose and Need. 

Based on these scoping activities, FTA 

is rescinding the August 28, 2012 NOI, 

and, in today’s issue of the Federal 

Register, is issuing a new NOI for the 

HRT extension. The environmental 

impacts of the BRT service along I–20 

will be evaluated as a separate project 

in an environmental assessment. No 

changes will be made to the HRT or BRT 

services as described in the August 28, 

2012 NOI. Comments and questions 

concerning the proposed action should 

be directed to FTA at the address 

provided above.
