Land Release for Dunkirk Airport 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice, request for public 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration is requesting public 

comment on the Dunkirk Airport (DKK), 

Dunkirk, New York, Notice of Proposed 

Release from Aeronautical Use of 

approximately 2.666 +/¥ acres of 

airport property, to allow for nonaeronautical development. 

The 2.666 +/¥ acres of land are 

proposed to be transferred to the Town 

of Sheridan for use as public right-ofway for the relocation of Newell Road. 

The released lands will be exchanged 

for the 2.006 acres +/¥ of the existing 

Newell Road right-of-way currently 

owned by the Town of Sheridan. 

Documents reflecting the Sponsor’s 

request are available, by appointment 

only, for inspection at the Office of the 

Chautauqua County Executive and the 

FAA New York Airport District Office.

BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Hamilton and Clermont Counties, OH 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare 

an Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS). 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that a Tier 2 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be prepared for proposed highway 

and light rail improvements in the SR 

32 corridor between US 50 and IR 275 

in Hamilton and Clermont Counties, 

Ohio. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mark L. Vonder Embse, Major Projects 

Engineer, Federal Highway 

Administration, 200 North High Street, 

Room 328, Columbus, Ohio 43215, 

Telephone: (614) 280–6854. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the Ohio 

Department of Transportation (ODOT), 

will prepare a Tier 2 Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for proposed 

improvements to SR 32 from US 50 in 

Hamilton County east to IR 275 in 

Clermont County. The broader study 

area in the Tier 1 documentation was 

referred to as the Eastern Corridor. This 

notice applies only to the project 

identified as Segments II–III of the 

proposed new highway and Segment 3 

of the proposed Oasis Rail Line which 

would share the right-of-way with 

relocated SR–32. 

Tier 1 of the Eastern Corridor 

evaluated transportation needs and 

focused on broad issues such as mode 

choice, general location, preliminary 

costs, benefits and impacts within a 

study area extending from downtown 

Cincinnati to western Clermont County. 

The analysis and input was summarized 

in a Tier 1 Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (FEIS) (FHWA–OH–EIS–04– 

02–F) dated September 30, 2005. A Tier 

1 Record of Decision issued on June 2, 

2006 identified feasible multi-modal 

components to be advanced by mode 

and segment into Tier 2 NEPA analyses, 

including a new rail transit corridor 

composed of four implementation 

segments, improved bus transit, various 

local network improvements, and a new 

highway capacity corridor composed of 

five implementation segments. In the 

interim, new information came to light 

regarding the archaeological resources 

present in connection with the Hahn 

Archaeological District. The discovery 

of this information prompted a reevaluation of the Tier 1 ROD to 

determine if the decision contained 

there-in remained valid and if a 

Supplemental EIS should be prepared 

prior to moving into a Tier 2 EIS. On 

February 9, 2012 FHWA recommended 

advancing the project into a Tier 2 EIS 

as the appropriate level of study and 

analysis to determine the significance of 

impacts to archaeological sites. This 

Tier 2 EIS for the proposed Segments II– 

III SR 32 project and proposed Oasis 

Rail Line Segment 3 will involve more 

detailed engineering and environmental 

studies to address project-specific 

impacts, costs and mitigation measures, 

and will follow a framework for 

integrating land use, economic 

development, and environmental 

stewardship established during Tier 1. 

The purpose and need for highway 

capacity improvements as established in 

Tier 1 is to reduce congestion, improve 

safety and efficiency, provide 

operational capacity for bus transit, 

accommodate bike and pedestrian ways, 

and support economic development and 

community revitalization consistent 

with the regional land use vision plan. 

The purpose and need for rail transit 

investments is to provide a regional 

transportation alternative to driving, 

increase mobility for non-drivers, 

support an expanded bus network, 

establish stations that effectively link to 

bus, bike, pedestrian, and roadway 

systems, connect downtown Cincinnati 

with outlying areas of population and 

employment, support neighborhood 

development and revitalization 

consistent with the land use vision plan, 

and reduce demand for new highway 

capacity while providing a way to meet 

the future travel demand. Proposed 

improvements identified during Tier 1 

involve: relocation of SR 32, a new 

interchange at US 50/Red Bank Road/SR 

32, and planning for (coordination with) 

associated Eastern Corridor multi-modal 

improvements, including the proposed 

Oasis rail transit (a portion of which 

parallels the Segment II–III corridor), a
