BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the Proposed Airfield Safety 

Enhancement Project at Tucson 

International Airport, Tucson, Pima 

County, Arizona 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement and 

request for scoping comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is issuing this 

notice under the provisions of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969, as amended to advise 

the public that an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) will be prepared to 

assess the potential impacts of the 

proposed Airfield Safety Enhancement 

Project (ASEP) including real property 

transactions between the United States 

Air Force (USAF) and the Tucson 

Airport Authority (TAA); demolition of 

12 Earth Covered Magazines (ECM); 

replacement of the ECMs elsewhere on 

USAF Plant 44; construction of a new 

parallel taxiway; relocation of Runway 

11R–29L and other associated 

development at Tucson International 

Airport. The proposed project also 

includes transfer of land ultimately to 

the USAF, on behalf of the National 

Guard Bureau (NGB), for construction of 

a Munitions Storage Area and access 

road to support the 162nd Fighter Wing 

at Tucson Air National Guard Base. To 

ensure that all significant issues related 

to the proposed action are identified, 

one (1) public scoping meeting and one 

(1) governmental agency scoping 

meeting will be held. 

FAA is the lead agency on the 

preparation of the EIS and has invited 

the Department of the Air Force (USAF) 

and the National Guard Bureau (NGB) to 

participate as cooperating agencies 

because the Tucson Airport Authority’s 

proposed action requires federal actions 

by both U.S. Department of Defense 

agencies. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

David B. Kessler, M.A., AICP, Federal 

Aviation Administration, WesternPacific Region—Airports Division, 

AWP–610.1., P.O. Box 92007, Los 

Angeles, California 90009–2007. 

Telephone: 310–725–3615. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of this notice is to inform 

federal, state, and local government 

agencies, and the public of the intent to 

prepare an EIS and to conduct a public 

and agency scoping process. 

Information, data, opinions, and 

comments obtained throughout the 

scoping process will be considered in 

preparing the draft EIS. 

The scoping process for this EIS will 

include a comment period for interested 

agencies and interested persons to 

submit oral and/or written comments 

representing the concerns and issues 

they believe should be addressed. Please 

submit any written comments to the 

FAA not later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific 

Daylight Time, Monday, October 3, 

2016. 

The EIS will be prepared in 

accordance with the procedures 

described in FAA Order 5050.4B, 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) Implementing Instructions for 

Airport Actions, and FAA Order 

1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures. The Tucson 

Airport Authority, the owner of Tucson 

International Airport, proposes the 

following development as identified in 

the Airfield Safety Enhancement Plan: 

Construction of a new center parallel 

and connecting taxiway system; a 

replacement Runway 11R–29L 

(proposed to be 11,000 feet long by 150 

feet wide); acquisition of land for the 

runway object free area, taxiway object 

free area, runway safety area, and 

runway protection zone; from USAF 

Plant 44. The proposed ASEP also 

includes relocation of navigational aids 

and development and/or modification of 

associated arrival and departure 

procedures for the relocated runway. 

The proposed ASEP also includes 

demolition of 12 ECMs and replacement 

of the ECMs elsewhere on USAF Plant 

44. The EIS will also evaluate the 

proposed release of airport land from 

federal obligations between the former 

East Hughes Access Road and the new 

Aerospace Parkway, south of USAF 

Plant 44. A portion of this land has been 

proposed for construction of a 

Munitions Storage Area, to include 

ECMs, and access road, for the 162nd 

Fighter Wing at the Tucson Air National 

Guard Base located adjacent to Tucson 

International Airport. The FAA is the 

lead Federal Agency for preparation of 

the EIS. The FAA has invited the U.S. 

Department of the Air Force and the 

U.S. National Guard Bureau to 

participate as cooperating agencies 

under Title 40, Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) § 1508.5. 

Within the EIS, FAA proposes to 

consider a range of alternatives that 

could potentially meet the purpose and 

need to enhance airfield safety at 

Tucson International Airport including, 

but not limited to, the following: 

Alternative One—Sponsor’s Proposed 

Action: Acquire 58 acres of land along 

the shared property boundary between 

the Tucson International Airport and 

USAF Plant 44, construction of a new 

centerline parallel and connecting 

taxiway between Runway 11L–29R and 

Runway 11R–29L; construction of a 

relocated Runway 11R–29L about 100 

feet to the southwest, creating a 

centerline separation of 800 feet 

between the existing Runway 11L/29R 

and the relocated Runway 11R/29L. The 

relocated Runway 11R/29L will be 

11,000 feet long by 150 feet wide. The 

relocation of Runway 11R/29L will 

include removal and reinstallation of 

associated navigational aids. This 

alternative includes demolition of 12 

ECMs and construction of replacement 

ECMs, elsewhere on USAF Plant 44; 

release of airport land from federal 

obligations between the former East 

Hughes Access Road and Aerospace 

Parkway. A portion of this land would 

be ultimately transferred to the USAF, 

on behalf of the NGB, for construction 

mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 161 / Friday, August 19, 2016 / Notices 55519 

of a Munitions Storage Area and an 

access road for the 162 Fighter Wing 

based at Tucson Air National Guard 

Base. 

Alternative Two—Alternative Airfield 

Development at Tucson: Extending and 

upgrading the current general aviation 

Runway 11R/29L to an air carrier 

runway, maintaining a 700-foot 

centerline separation between the 

current air carrier Runway 11L/29R and 

the extended and upgraded Runway 

11R/29L. 

Alternative Three—Use of Other 

Existing Airports: The possible use of 

other existing area airports including, 

but not limited to, Ryan Airfield and 

Marana Regional Airport will be 

evaluated. 

Alternative Four—Use of Other Modes 

of Transportation: Use of intercity bus 

line, rail, and automobile transportation 

will be evaluated. 

Alternative Five—No Action 

Alternative: Under this alternative, the 

existing airport would remain 

unchanged. No land acquisition and 

transfer between the Tucson 

International Airport and USAF Plant 

44 and no demolition and replacement 

of ECMs would occur; no new center 

taxiway would be constructed, and 

Runway 11R–29L would remain in its 

current configuration. FAA would not 

release land between the former East 

Hughes Access Road and Aerospace 

Parkway, no new Munitions Storage 

Area and access road for the 162nd 

Fighter Wing of the Arizona Air 

National would be constructed on land 

between the former East Hughes Access 

Road and Aerospace Parkway. 

Public Scoping and Agency Meetings: 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to the proposed action is 

addressed and that all significant issues 

are identified, comments and 

suggestions are invited from all 

interested parties. Public and agency 

scoping meetings will be conducted to 

identify any significant issues 

associated with the proposed action. 

A governmental agency scoping 

meeting for all federal, state, and local 

regulatory agencies which have 

jurisdiction by law or have special 

expertise with respect to any potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action will be held on 

Thursday, September 22, 2016. This 

meeting will take place at 1:00 p.m. 

Mountain Standard Time, on the first 

floor of the Tucson Executive Terminal, 

at the base of the old Airport Traffic 

Control Tower building with

notification letter will be sent in 

advance of the meeting. 

One public scoping meeting for the 

general public will be held. The public 

scoping meeting will be held from 6:00 

p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Mountain Standard 

Time on Thursday, September 22, 2016.

Arizona. To notify the general public of 

the scoping process, a legal notice will 

be placed in newspapers having general 

circulation in the study area. The 

newspaper notice will notify the public 

that scoping meetings will be held to 

gain their input concerning the 

proposed action, alternatives to be 

considered, and impacts to be 

evaluated.
