BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: Cook 

County, IL 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that an 

environmental impact statement will be 

prepared for a proposed transportation 

project in Cook County, Illinois. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Norman R. Stoner, P.E., Division 

Administrator, Federal Highway 

Administration, 3250 Executive Park 

Drive, Springfield, Illinois 62703, 

Phone: (217) 492–4600. Diane O’Keefe, 

P.E., Deputy Director of Highways, 

Region One Engineer, District 1, Illinois 

Department of Transportation, 201 W. 

Center Court, Schaumburg, IL 60196– 

1096, Phone: (847) 705–4110. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the Illinois 

Department of Transportation, will 

prepare an environmental impact 

statement (EIS) on a proposal to 

improve Interstate 290 (I–290) located in 

the Illinois county of Cook. The 

proposed improvement would involve 

the reconstruction of the existing 7.5 

mile roadway facility from US 12/20/45 

(Mannheim Road) to east of IL 50 

(Cicero Avenue). Improvements to the 

corridor are considered necessary due to 

safety concerns, operational issues, 

traffic congestion, and age of facility. 

Alternatives that may be considered 

include (1) taking no action; (2) a full 

range of multi-modal build alternatives 

that involve the reconstruction of I–290. 

Improvements to I–290 have the 

potential to affect environmental 

features in the project area. The corridor 

is located in a highly developed mature 

urban setting with limited biological 

and natural resources. The built 

environment has the potential to be 

affected. Some resources within the 

proposed area include: cemeteries, 

parks, special waste sites, nearby 

historic districts, possible residential 

and commercial displacements, air 

quality, sensitive noise receptors, the 

Des Plaines River, and related indirect 

and cumulative impact considerations. 

Letters describing the proposed action 

and soliciting comments will be sent to 

appropriate Federal, State, and local 

agencies. As part of the EIS process a 

scoping meeting for obtaining input 

from Resource Agencies was held on 

September 9, 2009. 

The Illinois Department of 

Transportation’s Context Sensitive 

Solutions (CSS) process will be used for 

public involvement. A Stakeholder 

Involvement Plan (SIP) has been 

developed to ensure that the full range 

of issues related to this proposed project 

are identified and addressed. The SIP 

provides meaningful opportunities for 

all stakeholders to participate in 

defining transportation issues and 

solutions for the study area. One public 

meeting will be held in Cook County at 

each project milestone. In addition to 

the public meetings, a public hearing 

and comment period will be held 

following the release of the Draft EIS. 

Public notice will be given for the time 

and place of the public meetings and 

hearing. A project website has been 

established (http:// 

www.eisenhowerexpressway.com) as 

one element of the project public 

involvement process. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to this proposed action are 

addressed and all significant issues 

identified, comments and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning this 

proposed action and the EIS should be 

directed to the FHWA at the address 

provided above.

Notice of Availability of a Final 

Environmental Assessment (Final EA) 

and a Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) for 

the New Airport Traffic Control Tower 

and Base Building at Cherry Capital 

Airport, Traverse City, MI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a Final 

Environmental Assessment (Final EA) 

and a Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) for 

the New Airport Traffic Control Tower 

and Base Building at Cherry Capital 

Airport, Traverse City, Michigan. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that the FAA 

has prepared, and approved on February 

8, 2010, a Finding of No Significant 

Impact (FONSI)/Record of Decision 

(ROD) based on the Final Environmental 

Assessment (Final EA) for a New 

Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) 

and Base Building at Cherry Capital 

Airport (TVC) in Traverse City, 

Michigan. The FAA prepared the Final 

EA in accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act and the 

FAA’s regulations and guidelines for 

environmental documents. It was 

accepted on November 2, 2009 by the 

FAA’s Responsible Federal Official. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Virginia Marcks, Manager, Infrastructure 

Engineering Center, AJW–C14D, Federal 

Aviation Administration, 2300 East 

Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 

60018. Telephone number: (847) 294– 

7494. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final 

EA evaluated the construction and 

operation of a new ATCT at TVC. The 

replacement ATCT will be a Low 

Activity Level facility with a 395 square 

foot cab accommodating two operational 

positions and two support positions. 

The ATCT will be constructed on 1.64 

acres of land owned by the airport, 520 

feet northeast of the existing ATCT and 

will have a cab floor height of 752 feet 

above mean sea level, located within the 

footprint of Airport Access Road. The 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
9016 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 38 / Friday, February 26, 2010 / Notices 

existing ATCT would be 

decommissioned after the ATCT is 

operational. The increased square 

footage of the ATCT will provide the 

capability to meet future expansion 

requirements. The Base Building design 

will conform to the guidelines of the 

Terminal Facilities Design Standards for 

Base Building and Environmental 

Support Buildings with a modified slabon-grade 7,000 SF floor plan. A new 

link building will connect the two 

structures, and paved surface parking 

will be constructed next to the Base 

Building. A 10-foot security fence will 

be constructed around the complex. The 

project will incorporate energy 

conservation, recycled materials, and 

green technologies where practicable. In 

addition, the Runway 28 localizer 

antenna and shelter will be shifted 

slightly to maintain optimal operational 

characteristics. The existing antenna 

and shelter will be removed once the 

new equipment is operational. 

The new ATCT will accommodate 

current and future modernization of the 

NAS, improve visibility of airport 

surfaces, provide adequate space to 

improve operational and administrative 

efficiency, accommodate future air 

traffic growth and overall, and increase 

the efficient functionality of the facility. 

The Final EA has been prepared in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended, and FAA Order 

1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures.’’ In addition, 

FAA Order 5050.4B, ‘‘National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

Implementing Instructions for Airport 

Actions’’ has been used as guidance in 

the preparation of the environmental 

analysis.
