DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Availability of the Record of

Decision for the Proposed

Development of the JFK International

Airport Light Rail System, Queens,

New York

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the

Record of Decision (ROD).

SUMMARY: The FAA is making available

the Record of Decision for the proposed

Development of the JFK International

Airport Light Rail System Queens, New

York.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Laurence Schaefer, FAA, John F.

Kennedy International Airport, AEA–

610, Jamaica, NY 11430, fax: (718) 955–

9219; telephone (718) 553–3340.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Any

person may obtain a copy of the ROD by

submitting a request to the FAA contact

identified above. The FAA is Lead

Agency for purposes of implementing

the procedures required by the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969

(NEPA), as amended, on a proposed

transportation system for an airport

access improvement project sponsored

by the The Port Authority of New York

and New Jersey (Port Authority),

operator of the airport.

The purpose of this notice is to inform

the public that the Record of Decision

(ROD) is available to anyone upon

request.

The FAA considered potential

environmental impacts and other factors

resulting from the construction of the

JFK International Airport Light Rail

System Project (the Project) at JFK

International Airport (JFK). The ROD

presents:

—alternatives considered for the project;

—the basis/justification for selecting the

Preferred Alternative;

—impacts analysis;

—mitigation measures for the Preferred

Alternative;

—response to comments; and

—Agency Findings.

The project proposed by the Port

authority is the development of a Light

Rail System (LRS) to improve ground

access within JFK International Airport

(JFK) in Queens County, New York, as

well as to and from JFK via connections

at Jamaica Station and the New York

City Transit Howard Beach Station.

Construction of the Project requires the

incorporation of the system right-of-way

in the Airport Layout Plan. The FAA

conditionally approved a modification

to the Airport Layout Plan on January

23, 1997. This approval was made

subject to an acceptable environmental

review.

The FAA, as the Lead Agency has

determined that the requirements of the

NEPA have been satisfied for the

construction of the proposed project in

Queens County, New York. This

decision is based upon the FAA’s close

monitoring of the process and

consideration of the effects of the

project, all of which are documented in

the Draft Environmental Impact

Statement, the Written Reevaluation/

Technical Report on Changes to the

Proposed JFK Airport Access Program

and the Final Environmental Impact

Statement. The FAA’s determinations

are outlined in the ROD. The Final

Environmental Impact Statement was

approved on May 12, 1997. The ROD

was concurred in on July 18, 1997.

The LRS is intended to achieve the

objective of providing reliable, safe, and

efficient ground access for air

passengers and employees with frequent

service to, from, and within JFK, and

links to the regional mass transportation

system, that will assist JFK to realize its

effective capacity and continue

operating successfully. By removing

cars traveling to and from JFK on the

regional roadway network, the LRS

would result in reduced vehicle miles

traveled (VMT) in the region, easing

congestion, and improving air quality,

assisting in the region’s efforts to

comply with federal air quality

standards. In terms of broader

objectives, the LRS is intended to

support the region’s competitive

position in the global economy, as well

as preserve the capacity of the national

air transportation system.

Improved access to JFK will provide

the potential for JFK to remain the

critical gateway that it currently is, and

may enhance its ability to compete with

other gateway cities in the Region.

Issued in Jamaica, New York on July 23,

1997.

Assistant Manager, Airports Division.
