Renewal of Cultural Property Advisory 

Committee Charter 

SUMMARY: The Charter of the 

Department of State’s Cultural Property 

Advisory Committee (CPAC) has been 

renewed for an additional two years. 

The Charter of the Cultural Property 

Advisory Committee is being renewed 

for a two-year period. The Committee 

was established by the Convention on 

Cultural Property Implementation Act of 

1983, 19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq. It reviews 

requests from other countries seeking 

U.S. import restrictions on 

archaeological or ethnological material 

the pillage of which places a country’s 

cultural heritage in jeopardy. The 

Committee makes findings and 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

State, who, on behalf of the President, 

determines whether to impose the 

import restrictions. The membership of 

the Committee consists of private sector 

experts in archaeology, anthropology, or

BILLING CODE 4710–05–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (Draft 

EIS) for the Replacement of Runway 

10R/28L, Development of a New 

Passenger Terminal, and Other 

Associated Airport Projects at Port 

Columbus International Airport (CMH) 

and Notice of Public Hearing 

AGENCY: The lead Federal agency is the 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), 

Department of Transportation. 

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 May 16, 

2008. The document was prepared 

pursuant to major environmental 

directives to comply with NEPA: 

Section 102(2)(c) of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Pub. 

L. 91–190); Section 106 consultation for 

impacts to historic structures, as 

identified in 36 CFR 800.8, 

Coordination with the National 

Environmental Policy Act; U.S. 

Department of Transportation Section 

303(c) consultation; and other 

applicable Federal and State 

environmental laws, regulations, and 

Executive Orders. 

The Draft EIS was prepared in 

response to a proposal presented to the 

FAA by the Columbus Regional Airport 

Authority (CRAA), the owner and 

operator of CMH 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 CMH. 

Numerous Federal actions would be 

necessary if airfield development were 

to be implemented. Proposed 

improvements include replacement of 

Runway 10R/28L, Development of a 

New Passenger Terminal, 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 

replace Runway 10R/28L at CMH, 

approximately 700 feet south of the 

existing Runway 10R/28L; develop new 

terminal facilities in the midfield area; 

provide ancillary facilities in support of 

the replacement runway and midfield 

terminal; and implement noise 

abatement air traffic procedures 

developed for the replacement runway. 

The replacement runway would be 

10,113 feet long. This length would 

maintain CMH’s ability to accommodate 

current and projected airport operations. 

Existing Runway 10R/28L would be 

decommissioned as a runway and 

converted into a taxiway upon 

commissioning of the replacement 

runway. In addition, a south taxiway 

and north parallel taxiways to proposed 

Runway 10R/28L would be constructed. 

To meet future aircraft parking and 

passenger processing requirements, new 

midfield terminal facilities are needed. 

The Draft EIS assesses a development 

envelope that is defined as an area large 

enough to encompass Phase I and II of 

the CRAA terminal development 

program. The Draft EIS discusses the 

number of gates, approximate square 

footage, approximate curb frontage, and 

the number of passengers that the 

terminal would accommodate. 

Ancillary facilities in support of the 

replacement runway and midfield 

terminal would be constructed. The 

facilities include roadway relocations 

and construction; parking 

improvements; property acquisition; 

and relocation of residences, as 

necessary.

The CRAA has prepared a 14 CFR Part 

150 Noise Compatibility Study Update 

(Part 150 Update) to address the current 

and future noise conditions. The Part 

150 Update includes an analysis of the 

potential noise and land use impacts 

resulting from the proposed 

development of relocating Runway 10R/ 

28L to the south, as well as possible 

mitigation options. The noise abatement 

air traffic options recommended through 

the Part 150 Update are included in the 

EIS as part of the proposed project. In 

addition, the land use mitigation that is 

recommended in the Part 150 Update is 

included in the EIS as mitigation for 

impacts resulting from the proposed 

project.
