DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Availability of a Record of 

Decision (ROD) and a Written 

Reevaluation of the 1999 Final 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(FEIS) To Select Another Alternative 

for the Location of the Proposed Third 

Runway, as Analyzed in the FEIS and 

Approved in the 2000 ROD at Charlotte 

Douglas International Airport, 

Charlotte, NC 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of a ROD 

and a written reevaluation of the FEIS. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is making 

available a ROD and a Written 

Evaluation of the FEIS in response to 

FAA procedure changes that have 

rendered the previously approved third 

runway unable to accomplish the 

purpose and need of triple-independent 

approach operations, thereby 

minimizing any capacity enhancement 

that the runway was intended to 

accomplish. Charlotte Douglas 

International Airport, Charlotte, North 

Carolina, has therefore proposed 

acceptance of another alternative 

located 600 feet west of the previously 

approved runway location that was fully 

analyzed in the EIS as Alternative 5 and 

that meets the current FAA Airport 

Design Standards. 

Point of Contact: Mr. Scott Seritt, 

Manager, Airports District Office, 

Southern Region Federal Aviation 

Administration, 1701 Columbia Avenue, 

College Park, GA 30337–2747, (404) 

305–7151. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of 

availability is given of a ROD and a 

Written Reevaluation of the FEIS to 

select another alternative for the 

location of the proposed third runway, 

as analyzed in the FEIS and approved in 

the 2000 ROD at Charlotte Douglas 

International Airport, Charlotte, North 

Carolina. The new runway location is 

600 feet west of the previously approved 

site, and was fully analyzed as 

Alternative 5 in the FEIS. The purpose 

of the ROD and Written Reevaluation 

was to evaluate potential environmental 

impacts arising from the approval of the 

location previously analyzed as 

Alternative 5 in the FEIS that may not 

have existed at the time of the original 

analysis.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Evaluate the Effects of National 

Scenic Byways Program Grants. 

Background: Title 23, Section 162 of 

the United States Code describes the 

creation of the National Scenic Byways 

Program. This legislation was most 

recently amended in 2005 upon passage 

of the P.L. 109–59 Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, and Efficient Transportation 

Equity Act—A Legacy for Users 

(SAFETEA–LU). The legislation also 

includes provisions for review and 

dissemination of grant monies by the 

U.S. Secretary of Transportation. Grant 

applications are solicited on an annual 

basis. Eligible projects are on State 

designated byways, National Scenic 

Byways and All-American Roads, or 

Indian tribe scenic byways. 

Applications are completed by Federal, 

State, or local governmental agencies; 

Tribal governments; and non-profit 

organizations. The application 

information is collected electronically 

via the online Grant system and used to 

determine project eligibility. We are 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

forms used to collect the application 

information and used on 

www.grants.gov. Additional information
