Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of a Non-Aeronautical Land-Use 

Change Effecting the Quitclaim Deed 

and Federal Grant Assurance 

Obligations at Delano Municipal 

Airport, Delano, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of a Non-Aeronautical 

Land-Use Change. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) proposes to rule 

and invites public comment on the 

application for a non-aeronautical landuse change for approximately 38 acres 

of airport property at Delano Municipal 

Airport, Delano, California, from the 

aeronautical use provisions of the 

Quitclaim Deed and Grant Agreement 

Assurances since the land is not needed 

for aeronautical purposes. The property 

will be leased for its fair market value 

and the rental proceeds deposited in the 

airport account for airport use. The 

reuse of the land for a solar farm and the 

non-aeronautical use of an old 

administrative building represent 

compatible land uses that will not 

interfere with the airport or its 

operation, thereby protecting the 

interests of civil aviation and 

contributing to the self-sustainability of 

the airport. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 8, 2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Comments on the request may be mailed 

or delivered to the FAA at the following 

address: Tony Garcia, Airports 

Compliance Program Manager, Federal 

Aviation Administration, Airports 

Division, Federal Register Comment, 

P.O. Box 92007, Los Angeles, CA 

90009–2007. In addition, one copy of 

the comment submitted to the FAA 

must be mailed or delivered to Mr. 

Roman Dowling, Public Works Director, 

City of Delano, 1015 Eleventh Avenue, 

P.O. Box 3010, Delano, CA 93216–3010. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 

Aviation Investment and Reform Act for 

the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 

10–181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this 

notice must be published in the Federal 

Register 30 days before the Secretary 

may waive any condition imposed on a 

federally obligated airport by surplus 

property conveyance deeds or grant 

agreements. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

The City of Delano requested a 

modification of the conditions in the 

Quitclaim Deed and Grant Agreement 

Assurances to permit non-aeronautical 

use of approximately 38 acres of land at 

Delano Municipal Airport. The subject 

property is located east of the airfield 

and a small building is situated on the 

western edge of the airport. The land is 

presently undeveloped. A large tract of 

land will be redeveloped for a solar farm 

and a small building will be used for a 

non-aeronautical business. The City of 

Delano proposes to lease the property 

under the terms of a long-term lease for 

a solar farm since the land is not needed 

for aeronautical purposes. Reuse of the 

land for a solar farm will not impede 

future development of the airport. In 

addition, the City of Delano will lease 

a small vacant office building on the 

western edge of the airport in an 

undeveloped area to be used for a nonaviation business. The lease rate for 

both uses will be based on the appraised 

market value and the lease proceeds 

will be deposited in the airport account 

and used for airport purposes. The use 

of the property for a solar farm and a 

non-aviation business represents uses 

that are not incompatible and will not 

interfere with airport operations. The 

land will become revenue-producing 

property, which will enhance the selfVerDate Mar<15>2010 16:20 Jul 06, 2012 Jkt 226001 PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\09JYN1.SGM 09JYN1

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Cancellation of Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(SEIS); Travis County, TX 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Cancellation of Notice of Intent 

to Prepare a SEIS. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) and Texas 

Department of Transportation (TxDOT) 

are issuing this notice to advise the 

public that the Notice of Intent (NOI) to 

prepare a Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement (SEIS) for proposed 

improvements to U.S. Highway 290 (US 

290)/State Highway (SH) 71 West 

through Oak Hill, in Travis County, 

Texas, is being rescinded. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Salvador Deocampo, District Engineer, 

District A, Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), Texas 

Division, 300 East 8th Street, Rm 826, 

Austin, Texas 78701, Telephone 512– 

536–5950. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

15, 2008, TxDOT, in cooperation with 

the FHWA, announced its intent to 

prepare a limited-scope SEIS pursuant 

to 40 CFR 1508.22 and 43 TAC Sec. 

2.5(e)(2) for proposed improvement of 

US 290/SH 71 West through Oak Hill, 

in Travis County, Texas. The 

improvements proposed between 

Ranch-to-Market Road (RM) 1826 and 

Joe Tanner Lane were originally 

considered in a Final Environmental 

Impact Statement (FEIS) covering 

improvements to SH 71/US 290 from 

Ranch-to-Market Road (RM) 1826 to FM 

973. A Record of Decision (ROD) was 

issued by FHWA on August 22, 1988. 

The mid-section of the original project 

limits, between Joe Tanner Lane and 

Riverside Drive, has been constructed. 

The limited-scope SEIS would have 

evaluated potential impacts resulting 

from changes in funding mechanisms, 

changes in adjacent land use, State and 

Federal listing of the Barton Springs 

salamander as endangered, public input, 

and proposed design modifications 

since the issuance of the SH 71/US 290 

ROD along the unconstructed western 

portion of the original FEIS, between 

RM 1826 and Joe Tanner Lane. 

TxDOT and FHWA have decided to 

rescind the NOI to prepare a SEIS for US 

290/SH 71 West through Oak Hill from 

RM 1826 to Joe Tanner Lane. The 

project was placed on hold in 2008 due 

to the limited availability of funds and 

local planning priorities. The SEIS was 

in the preliminary stages of 

development. Recently, the FHWA has 

determined that a SEIS would no longer 

be applicable to the project and a full 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

would be required to evaluate potential 

impacts. Therefore, the decision to 

rescind the NOI was due to limited 

availability of funds, local planning 

priorities and the determination that an 

EIS would be required. 

Issued on: June 25, 2012.

District Engineer.

Environmental Impact Statements: 

National Summary of Rescinded 

Notices of Intent 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that 8 States 

have rescinded Notices of Intent (NOIs) 

to prepare 14 Environmental Impact 

Statements (EISs) for proposed highway 

projects. The FHWA Division Offices, in 

consultation with the State departments 

of transportation (State DOTs), 

determined that six projects were no 

longer viable and have formally 

cancelled the projects. No further 

Federal resources will be expended on 

these projects; the environmental review 

process has been terminated. Four 

projects have been reduced in scope or 

found not to have significant impacts 

and now meet the criteria for an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) or a 

Categorical Exclusion (CE). Two projects 

will be constructed using solely State 

funds, so EISs will not be required. One 

project will be divided into two future 

projects and NOIs will be issued as 

needed. Finally, one project is being 

significantly rescoped and required a 

new NOI, which has already been 

issued.

Background 

The FHWA, as lead Federal agency 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) and in furtherance of 

its oversight and stewardship 

responsibilities under the Federal-aid 

highway program, periodically requests 

that its Division Offices review, with the 

State DOTs, the status of all EISs and 

place those projects that are not actively 

progressing in a timely manner in an 

inactive project status. The FHWA 

maintains lists of active and inactive EIS 

projects on its Web site at http:// 

www.environment.fhwa.dot.gov/. The 

FHWA has determined that inactive 

projects that are no longer a priority or 

that lack financial resources should be 

rescinded with a Federal Register notice 

notifying the public that project activity 

has been terminated. This notice covers 

the time period since the last summary 

was issued on May 23, 2011, and 

published in the Federal Register at 76 

FR 31676 (June 1, 2011). As always, 

FHWA encourages State DOTs to work 

with their FHWA Division Office to 

determine when it is most prudent to 

initiate an EIS in order to best balance 

available resources as well as the 

expectations of the public. 

The FHWA is issuing this notice to 

advise the public that 8 States 

(California, Idaho, Mississippi, 

Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, 

Ohio, and Texas) have recently 

rescinded previously issued NOIs for 14 

EISs for proposed highway projects. A 

listing of these projects, general 

location, original NOI date of 

publication in the Federal Register, and 

the date that the NOI was formally 

rescinded by notice published in the 

Federal Register, is provided below. 

The FHWA Division Offices, in 

consultation with the State DOTs, 

determined that six of these projects 

were no longer viable projects and have 

formally cancelled those projects. The 

projects are: State Route 101 in
