19L approach. The fifth change is to the 

design of a procedure at nearby 

Henderson Executive Airport (KHND), 

the GAMES Standard Terminal Arrival 

Route (STAR). 

To determine whether the Design 

Changes require supplementation of the 

Final EA, the FAA has analyzed the 

potential environmental effects from the 

Design Changes, consistent with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, Paragraph 9–2.c.(1), to 

determine whether the changes to the 

Final EA Design would be ‘‘substantial’’ 

and ‘‘relevant to environmental 

concerns,’’ i.e., ‘‘paint[s] a dramatically 

different picture of impacts compared to 

the description of impacts in the [Final] 

EA’’ (id., Paragraph 9–3). The FAA’s 

analysis and determination are 

documented in a WR/ROD dated 

December 21, 2020. The WR/ROD 

analyzes the same environmental 

impact categories analyzed in the Final 

EA. 

As documented in the WR/ROD, the 

FAA has determined that the Design 

Changes are not a substantial change in 

the FAA’s proposed action, as analyzed 

in the Final EA for the Las Vegas 

Metroplex Project and approved in the 

FONSI/ROD, relevant to environmental 

concerns. The data and analyses 

contained in the Final EA and FONSI/ 

ROD are still substantially valid and 

there are no significant new 

circumstances or information relevant to 

environmental concerns and bearing on 

the proposed action or its impacts. 

Accordingly, the WR/ROD also 

documents the FAA’s decision not to 

prepare a supplement to the Final EA. 

The WR/ROD is publicly available at

NOI on March 15, 2017, to prepare a 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement (SEIS) to study local access 

modifications and right-of-way impacts 

to roadway approaches beyond the 

initial Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (FEIS) project limits. 

The FHWA has determined, in

layout as previously identified in the 

FEIS will remain as the selected 

alternative.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2020–0099] 

Notice of Application for Approval of 

Discontinuance or Modification of a 

Railroad Signal System 

Under part 235 of title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) and 49 U.S.C. 

20502(a), this document provides the 

public notice that on December 22, 

2020, Norfolk Southern Corporation 

(NS) petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) seeking approval 

to discontinue or modify a signal 

system. FRA assigned the petition 

Docket Number FRA–2020–0099. 

Applicant: Norfolk Southern 

Corporation, Tommy A. Phillips, Senior 

Director—C&S Engineering, 1200 

Peachtree Street, NE, Atlanta, GA 30309. 

Specifically, NS requests permission 

to discontinue an automatic block signal 

(ABS) system which includes the 

control point (CP) at BV&E Junction, 20 

automatic signals on the H Line, and all 

9 automatic signals on the J-Line. An 

operative approach signal will be placed 

at milepost (MP) H–223.8 in approach to 

CP Columbus Junction. Two operative 

approach signals will be installed at MP 

H–239.7 and MP H–242.6 in approach 

to CP North Oglethorp. The main track 

between MP H–220 and MP J–295.0 on 

the Albany Line of the Georgia Division 

will be converted to NS Rule 171 

operation. 

The reason for the proposed 

discontinuance is that operations no 

longer require a signal system. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at 

www.regulations.gov. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data, or 

comments. FRA does not anticipate 

scheduling a public hearing in 

connection with these proceedings since 

the facts do not appear to warrant a 

hearing. If any interested parties desire 

an opportunity for oral comment and a 

public hearing, they should notify FRA, 

in writing, before the end of the 

comment period and specify the basis 

for their request.
