Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 151 / Friday, August 5, 2016 / Notices 51963 

TVA accepted comments submitted 

through an electronic comment form on 

the EIS Web site, by post and email. 

During the comment period, TVA held 

10 public meetings to discuss the Draft 

EIS and proposed site-specific closures 

with interested members of the public 

and to accept comments on it. TVA 

published notices of the public meetings 

in local and/or regional newspapers as 

well as provided information on TVA’s 

Web site. 

Additionally, TVA briefed customers, 

business leaders and local, state and 

federal officials on the EIS in one-onone meetings, a webinar and conference 

calls. TVA created a five minute video 

that was shown at meetings and posted 

on the web. 

TVA received approximately 70 

comment submissions which included 

letters, emails, petition-style 

submissions, comment forms, and 

submissions through the project Web 

site. The comment submissions were 

signed by more than 650 individuals. 

Approximately 583 individuals and 

groups submitted comments as part of 

organized campaigns. These comments 

were received as part of emails, form 

letters and submissions consisting of the 

text and a list of names and addresses 

of those who supported the comments. 

TVA provided responses to these 

comments. 

Two organized commenting 

campaigns were submitted by: 

• Sierra Club (411 individuals signed a 

form letter) 

• Southern Alliance for Clean Energy 

(164 individuals signed a petition) 

In addition, the Southern 

Environmental Law Center (SELC) and 

nine other environmental advocacy 

groups submitted an 89-page letter with 

hundreds of pages of attachments 

commenting on the Draft EIS. This letter 

was also carefully reviewed and 

responded to by TVA. 

The most frequently mentioned topics 

included the public involvement 

process, the action purpose and need, 

range of closure alternatives, 

identification of the preferred 

alternative, need to comply with other 

federal and state requirements, need for 

full public disclosure, beneficial use of 

CCR and a range of environmental 

resource issues such as, potential 

impacts on groundwater, surface water, 

transportation, wildlife, floodplains, 

wetlands, air quality, socioeconomics 

and environmental justice, land use, 

safety and waste management. 

TVA also provided information about 

the Draft EIS and its preliminary 

conclusions to a formal session of its 

Regional Energy Resource Council on 

January 20–21, 2016. This council is 

chartered under the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act and provides advice to 

TVA on energy resource activities. 

Council members represent a diverse 

group of stakeholders, including TVA 

customers, state governments, 

environmental advocacy groups and 

educational institutions. After 

discussion of the Draft EIS and TVA’s 

analyses, the only additional action that 

the Council recommended that TVA 

take was to conduct a robust monitoring 

program at its CCR facilities. 

The NOA for the Final EIS was 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 10, 2016. Although not required, 

TVA solicited comments on the Final 

EIS during the mandatory 30-day 

waiting period after a final EIS is 

released. 

Only 11 commenters responded. Most 

of the comments consisted of brief 

statements. Four commenters had 

concerns about impacts from CCRs. 

TVA responded to similar concerns 

from commenters on the draft EIS. One 

commenter simply informed us that it 

was permitted to construct a municipal 

solid waste landfill in Tennessee near a 

rail line that would be able to accept 

coal ash, but construction had not yet 

commenced. Another commenter 

endorsed Closure-in-Place. The 

Commonwealth of Kentucky and the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers observed 

that their approvals may be needed for 

some closure activities in the future. 

The Department of the Interior supports 

TVA’s plans to transition to dry ash 

storage and concluded that TVA had 

responded to all of its comments in the 

final EIS. 

The two remaining commenters were 

the SELC with a coalition of other 

environmental advocacy groups and the 

EPA. SELC’s comments largely repeated 

its earlier comments. They continue to 

argue that TVA needs to conduct 

additional studies before making closure 

decisions. Notably, no other federal, 

state, or local agency or government 

criticized the FEIS or objected to the 

identification of Closure-in-Place as 

TVA’s preferred approach to closing the 

10 CCR facilities that are evaluated in 

part II of the FEIS. As discussed above, 

EPA rated the FEIS ‘‘LO’’ and concurred 

with TVA’s identification of Closure-inPlace as its preferred alternative in the 

site-specific reviews in part II. 

Mitigation Measures 

The reduction of environmental 

impacts was an important goal in TVA’s 

process for identifying CCR 

impoundment closure methods. 

Mitigation measures, actions taken to 

reduce adverse impacts associated with 

proposed actions, include: 

• Implementation of fugitive dust 

control systems; 

• Erosion and sediment best 

management practices (BMPs) (e.g., silt 

fences and/or or truck washes) to reduce 

the risk of impacts to surface waters 

from construction impacts; 

• Other construction BMPs to 

minimize and restore areas disturbed 

during construction such as revegetation 

with native species; 

• Implementation of supplemental 

groundwater mitigative measures that 

could include monitoring, assessment, 

or corrective action programs as 

required by the CCR Rule and state 

requirements. 

Additional measures identified in Part 

II, the Site Specific NEPA review 

include: 

• Evaluate the use of a temporary 

traffic signal to minimize traffic impacts 

during the transport of borrow material 

to the Bull Run Fossil Plant.

Availability of Documents 

You can get an electronic copy of this 

notice and the Draft PFC Order 5500.1B 

by visiting the FAA’s Airports Web page 

at http://www.faa.gov/airports/ after 

August 1, 2016. 

Background 

The Passenger Facility Charge 

Program (PFC) is an airport capital 

funding program, established by the 

Airport Safety and Capacity Expansion 

Act of 1990 as amended, 49 U.S.C. 

40117 et seq. Order 5500.1, Passenger 

Facility Charge, issued August 9, 2001, 

provides instructions and sets forth 

policy and procedures used in the 

administration of PFC Program. The 

PFC Program allows the collection and 

use of fees up to $4.50 per enplaned 

passenger at commercial airports 

controlled by public agencies. 

The primary audience for this order is 

all FAA employees with Passenger 

Facility Charge (PFC) responsibilities. 

The secondary audience includes Public 

Agencies and Air Carriers involved with 

collecting, using, and reporting PFC 

revenues. This Order, once finalized, is 

intended to replace the above referenced 

2001 PFC Order with updated 

information that reflects current 

legislation, regulation, and policy. The 

Office of Airports reorganized and 

revised this Order to clarify what is 

required by law and policy and to 

incorporate PFC Updates 35–02 (dated 

October 5, 2001) though 69–12 (dated 

September 14, 2012). 

Since 2001, there have been 

substantial changes to the laws, 

regulation, and policies relating to PFCs. 

To incorporate these changes and 

provide the most useful and current 

program guidance to agency employees, 

the Office of Airport Planning and 

Programming, Financial Assistance 

Division has drafted an updated version 

to revise the Order to maximize its 

clarity. This update is a fundamental 

rewrite of FAA Order 5500.1, the 

current version of the PFC Order. The 

update clarifies the different 

responsibilities of the FAA Office of 

Airports staff and those of public 

agencies applying to collect and use 

PFCs. The update also clarifies the 

responsibilities of air carriers collecting, 

handling, and remitting PFCs to public 

agencies. This updated version of the 

Order includes the requirements for all 

PFC funded projects and can be used as 

a ready-reference for project-specific 

requirements. 

Invitation for Public Comment 

While the FAA generally does not 

request public comment on internal 

orders, the agency is offering this 

opportunity for public comment in 

recognition of the interest of multiple 

stakeholders of the aviation industry in 

PFCs. The agency will consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

of the comment period in finalizing this 

Order. Comments received after that 

date may be considered if consideration 

will not delay agency action on the 

Order. 

Comments should be submitted on 

the Draft PFC Order 5500.1B Comment 

Form, which is available for 

downloading at http://www.faa.gov/

airports/. Comments that are not 

submitted on the Draft PFC Order 

5500.1B Comment Form may be 

considered only if consideration will 

not delay agency action on the Order. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on July 29, 

2016.

Director, Office of Airport Planning and 

Programming.
