~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The summary report for ETDM Project #9312 ("SR 292 (SORRENTO ROAD) ") has been republished with the following comments from the coordinator:

     "The project is being Re-Published for the following reason:
 
- The western project limits have been modified in response to comments from the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Highway Administration.  The change consists of reducing the project limits on the west to begin at the intersection of CR 297 (Innerarity Point Road/Gulf Beach Highway) with SR 292 (Sorrento Road).  Escambia County modified the limits of the proposed improvements to ensure the proposed action has independent utility by having logical termini.  The project terminus on the east has not changed.
 
NOTE: The GIS analysis, MapViewer, project information, ETAT comments and FDOT summary are based on the original limits (Theo Baars Bridge to Blue Angel Parkway).  The project is not being rescreened for further comments since the limits, thus the impacts, are reduced from what was previously reviewed.  The Project Description has been updated to explain the changes to the project limits.
 
-         Inserted an explanation of the above in the Project Description, Degree of Effects, and Commitments sections.
-         FHWA has been designated as the lead agency for this project.
-         The project has been identified to be a Federal Action with Federal permits.
-         Updated project limits.
-         Additional public comments were included."
