[Docket Number MARAD 2010 0115] 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) for the Beaumont Layberth 

Facility 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Maritime 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Finding 

of No Significant Impact. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Maritime Administration, of the U.S. 

Department Transportation (US DOT) 

has made available to interested parties 

the Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) for the Beaumont Layberth 

Facility. An environmental assessment 

(EA) and FONSI have been prepared 

pursuant to the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.) in accordance with the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations for implementing the 

procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR 

1500–1508). 

The purpose of the EA is to evaluate 

the potential environmental impacts 

from the construction of a Layberth 

facility that can accommodate eight 

Large Medium Speed Roll-on/Roll-off 

sized vessels at the Beaumont National 

Defense Reserve Fleet anchorage. A 

preliminary cost feasibility assessment 

determined that building a permanent 

Layberth facility would be more costeffective over the long term than using 

commercial Layberth facilities.
