SUMMARY: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is issuing this
amended notice to advise the public that an environmental impact
statement will not be prepared for the proposed Copper River Highway
project in Southcentral, Alaska.

ADDRESSES: Federal Highway Administration, Alaska Division, 709 West
9th Street, Room 851, P.O. Box 21648, Juneau, Alaska 99802-1648.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim Haugh, Environmental/Right-of-Way

    Authority: 23 U.S.C. 315; 49 CFR 1.48.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Highway Administration, in
cooperation with the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public
Facilities (ADOT&PF) have agreed to terminate the preparation of the
Copper River Highway Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). This EIS was
to study a proposed highway route, along the old Copper River and
Northwest Railroad right-of-way, which would connect the City of
Cordova to the Alaskan highway system. In September 2000, the Alaska
Department of Transportation and Public Facilities made a decision to
not pursue the proposed highway project, thus this notice is to rescind
the earlier notice, which was published in the Federal Register on
February 27, 1992. Letters describing the termination of the Copper
River Highway Environmental Impact Statement will be sent to
appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, and to private
organizations and citizens who have previously expressed an interest in
or are known to have an interest in this action. This information will
be published in various newspapers throughout the State of

of Transportation and Public Facilities home page
(www.dot.state.ak.us). No formal public meetings or hearings are
scheduled. Comments concerning the proposed action should be directed
to the Federal Highway Administration at the address provided above.

    Dated: October 30, 2000.
David C. Miller,
Division Administrator.
