venue and program evaluation) and 

program content (orientation and wrapup sessions, program meetings and 

resource materials). 

• Evaluation and Follow-Up: 

Proposals should include a plan to 

evaluate the activity’s success, both as 

the activities unfold and at the end of 

the program. A draft survey 

questionnaire or other technique, plus a 

description of the methodology used to 

link outcomes to original project 

objectives, are strongly recommended. 

Proposals should also discuss 

provisions made for follow-up with 

returned grantees as a means of 

establishing longer-term individual and 

institutional linkages. 

• Cost-effectiveness/Cost-sharing: The 

overhead and administrative 

components of the proposal, including 

salaries and honoraria, should be kept 

as low as possible. All other items 

should be necessary and appropriate. 

Proposals should maximize cost-sharing 

through other private sector support as 

well as institutional direct funding 

contributions. 

• Institutional Capacity and Track 

Record: Proposals should demonstrate 

an institutional record of successful 

exchange programs, including 

responsible fiscal management and full 

compliance with all reporting 

requirements for past Bureau grants as 

determined by Bureau Grants Staff. The 

Bureau will consider the past 

performance of prior recipients and the 

demonstrated potential of new 

applicants. Proposed personnel and 

institutional resources should be fully 

qualified to achieve the project’s goals.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (Draft 

EIS) for the Development and 

Extension of Runway 9R/27L and other 

Associated Airport Projects at Fort 

Lauderdale-Hollywood International 

Airport (FLL) and Notice of Public 

Hearing Date, Time, and Location 

AGENCY: The lead federal agency is the 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of availability, notice of 

public comment period, notice of public 

information meeting and public hearing. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this 

Notice of Availability to advise the 

public that a Draft EIS will be available 

for public review beginning March 30, 

2007. The document was prepared 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
15182 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 61 / Friday, March 30, 2007 / Notices 

pursuant to a proposal presented to the 

FAA by the Broward County Board of 

County Commissioners, the owner and 

operator of FLL and identified in the 

Draft EIS as the Airport Sponsor, for 

environmental review. 

The FAA prepared this Draft EIS to 

analyze and disclose potential 

environmental impacts related to 

possible Federal actions at FLL. 

Numerous Federal actions would be 

necessary if airfield development were 

to be implemented. Proposed 

improvements include Runway 9R/27L 

development and extension and other 

airfield projects (see below). 

The Draft EIS presents the purpose 

and need for the proposed Federal 

action, analysis of reasonable 

alternatives, including the No Action 

alternative, discussion of impacts for 

each reasonable alternative, and 

supporting appendices. The FAA will 

consider all information contained in 

this Draft EIS and additional 

information that may be provided 

during the public comment period 

before issuing a Final EIS and Agency 

decision regarding the possible 

alternatives and Federal actions. 

The Airport Sponsor proposes to 

develop and extend Runway 9R/27L to 

an overall length of 8,000 feet and width 

of 150 feet (the reconstructed runway 

would be equipped with an Engineered 

Materials Arresting System (EMAS) at 

both runway ends); elevate Runway 9R 

end and Runway 27L end to provide 

34.74 feet of vertical clearance over the 

Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway; 

construct a new full-length parallel 

taxiway 75 feet wide on the north side 

of Runway 9R/27L with separation of 

400 feet from 9R/27L; construct an outer 

dual parallel taxiway to be used as a 

temporary runway during the 

construction of permanent Runway 9R/ 

27L; construct a connecting taxiway 

from the proposed full-length parallel 

taxiway to existing Taxiway E; construct 

a Category I Instrument Landing System 

(ILS) for landings on Runways 9R and 

27L that includes a Medium Intensity 

Approach Light System with runway 

alignment indicator lights (MALSR), 

localizer, and glideslope. The Airport 

Sponsor also proposes to decommission 

Runway 13/31 and redevelop terminal 

gate facilities. 

Connected actions associated with the 

Airport Sponsor’s proposal include 

closure of Airport Perimeter Road 

located within the approach to Runway 

9R; relocation of ASR–9; acquisition of 

all, or a portion, of the Wyndham Fort 

Lauderdale Airport Hotel to the extent 

the existing structure was within the 

Proposed Runway Protection Zone 

(RPZ) for extended Runway 9R/27L; 

partial displacement of the Jet Center 

facilities; and full displacement of the 

Gulfstream Airways aircraft 

maintenance facilities for potential use 

of a taxiway as a temporary runway 

during construction.

Notice To Rescind a Notice of Intent To 

Prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS): State Route 357 From 

Existing State Route 357 West of the 

Tri-Cities Airport to the U.S. 11E/19E 

U.S. 19E Intersection Near Bluff City, 

Sullivan County, TN 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that the 

Notice of Intent published on December 

7, 2005 to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed 

extension of State Route 357 in Sullivan 

County, Tennessee, is being rescinded. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Karen M. Brunelle, Planning and 

Program Management Team Leader, 

Federal Highway Administration—

Tennessee Division Office, 640 

Grassmere Park Road, Suite 112, 

Nashville, TN 37211. 615–781–5772. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the 

Tennessee Department of 

Transportation, is rescinding the notice 

of intent to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) on a proposal to 

provide an extension to State Route 357 

in Sullivan County, Tennessee. The 

proposed project was to involve 

extending State Route 357 from existing 

State Route 357 west of the Tri-Cities 

Airport to the U.S. 11E/19E-U.S. 19E 

intersection near Bluff City, Tennessee. 

The project was proposed to provide 

for existing and projected traffic 

demand on the surrounding 

transportation network. After nearly two 

years of public involvement, it became 

clear that there was not an urgent need 

for the extension to State Route 357. An 

extensive Context Sensitive Solution 

process with a local citizen team did not 

identify an immediate need for the 

extension project. The State Route 357 

Extension project is not currently 

included as a priority project by either 

the Kingsport Metropolitan Planning 

Organization (MPO) or the First 

Tennessee Regional Planning 

Organization (RPO). 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to this proposed action is 

identified and taken into account, 

comments and suggestions are invited 

from all interested parties. Comments 

and questions concerning the proposed 

action should be directed to the FHWA 

contact person identified above at the 

address provided above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March

comments and expressions of 

preliminary interest with respect to the 

Secretary of Transportation’s 

establishment and implementation of 

FTA’s Public-Private Partnership Pilot

nineteen parties in response to this 

notice. On January 19, 2007, FTA issued 

a Notice of Establishment of PublicPrivate Partnership Pilot Program, 

which set forth the definitive terms of 

the Pilot Program and invited interested 

parties to submit applications to the 

Pilot Program by March 31, 2007 (72 FR

it would, by separate notice, summarize 

and respond to comments on the March

2007. 

The volume of work underway within 

FTA has prevented publication of 

response to comments by the date
