carriers for U.S. Government-financed 

international air transportation of 

personnel (and their personal effects) or 

property, to the extent that service by 

those carriers is available. It requires the 

Comptroller General of the United 

States, in the absence of satisfactory 

proof of the necessity for foreign-flag air 

transportation, to disallow expenditures 

from funds, appropriated or otherwise 

established for the account of the United 

States, for international air 

transportation secured aboard a foreignflag air carrier if an U.S.-flag carrier is 

available to provide such services. In 

the event that the contractor selects a 

carrier other than an U.S.-flag air carrier 

for international air transportation, the 

contractor shall include per FAR clause 

52.247–64, Preference for U.S.-Flag Air 

Carriers, a statement on vouchers 

involving such transportation. The 

contracting officer uses the information 

furnished in the statement to determine 

whether adequate justification exists for 

the contractor’s use of other than U.S.-

BILLING CODE 6820–EP–P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army, Corps of 

Engineers 

Notice of Availability of Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for a 

Proposed Highway Between I–12 and 

Bush, LA in St. Tammany Parish, LA 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DOD. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), 

New Orleans District has prepared a 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(FEIS) for a project proposed by the 

Louisiana Department of Transportation 

and Development (LADOTD) to 

construct a new highway between 1–12 

and Bush, Louisiana, in St. Tammany 

Parish. On September 9, 2011, USACE 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register (76 FR 55887), informing the 

public of the availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) 

that analyzes the potential effects of 

implementing each of four build and the 

‘‘no-build’’ alternative scenarios for a 

four-lane arterial highway from the 

southern terminus of the current, 

modern four-lane arterial portion of LA 

21 in Bush, Louisiana, to I–12, a 

distance between 17.4 and 21 miles. The 

FEIS has been prepared to respond to 

comments received from agencies, 

organizations, and members of the 

public on the DEIS. 

The USACE is the lead Federal agency 

responsible for the FEIS and 

information contained in the FEIS 

serves as the basis for a Department of 

the Army permit decision under section 

404 of the Clean Water Act. The FEIS 

also provides information for Federal, 

State and local agencies having 

jurisdictional responsibility for affected 

resources. Any comments on the FEIS 

will be considered by USACE and 

responses will be provided for 

substantive issues raised which have 

not been addressed in the DEIS or FEIS. 

DATES: All written comments must be 

postmarked on or before April 8, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted in writing to: U.S. Corps of 

Engineers, New Orleans District, PO Box 

60267, New Orleans, LA 70160. ATTN: 

Regulatory Branch, or via email to 

I–12toBush@usace.army.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

James A. Barlow, JR., Ph.D., Regulatory 

Branch, phone (504) 862–2250 or email 

at james.a.barlow@usace.army.mil, or 

Ms. Brenda Archer, Regulatory Branch, 

phone (504) 862–2046 or email at 

brenda.a.archer@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FEIS 

has been prepared to address the NEPA, 

environmental and cultural resource 

laws, USACE Regulatory Program 

Regulations (Title 33 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations [CFR] Parts 320– 

332), including the 33 CFR Part 325, 

Appendix B, and the requirements of 

the section 404(b)(1) guidelines (40 CFR 

Part 230), to gather information needed 

for the USACE permit decision-making 

process regarding a permit application 

(MVN–2005–0037) submitted by the 

LADOTD to construct a four-lane 

arterial highway from the southern 

terminus of the current, four-lane 

arterial portion of LA 21 in Bush, 

Louisiana, to I–12, a distance between 

17.4 and 21 miles. 

LADOTD has stated that the proposed 

highway is needed as an alternative 

north-south connection that could 

reduce congestion and delays for those 

traveling from northern St. Tammany 

Parish and Washington Parish to I–12. 

As stated by LADOTD, the needs of the 

proposed action are to: (1) Fulfill the 

legislative mandate, Louisiana Revised 

Statute 47:820.2B(e); (2) provide a fourlane arterial to I–12 from the southern 

terminus of the current, modern, fourlane arterial portion of LA 21; (3) divert 

traffic from Washington and northern 

St. Tammany Parishes onto a four-lane, 

arterial to free capacity for local trips on 

segments of existing routes in southern 

suburban areas and reduce congestion 

during peak and some non-peak 

periods; and (4) support and enhance 

the existing and developing economic 

activities in Washington and northern 

St. Tammany Parishes that rely on the 

highway network to reach their markets 

by providing a travel time savings. The 

‘‘No-build and four build alternatives 

where evaluated in the DEIS and carried 

over into the FEIS. 

• No-Build alternative—Continuation 

of existing roadway network in the 

region in its current condition to serve 

as the transportation network. 

• Alternative P (applicant’s proposed 

alignment)—Construction of a new 17.4 

mile highway segment beginning at the 

intersection of LA HWY 21and LA HWY 

41 following the abandoned railroad 

line to a point north of Talisheek, 

Louisiana before heading southwesterly 

to connect to I–12 at the LA Hwy 1088 

interchange with I–12. 

• Alternative Q (least damaging 

practicable alternative)—Construction 

of a new 19.8 mile highway segment 

beginning at the intersection of LA 

HWY 21 and LA HWY 41 following the 

abandoned railroad line to a point 

approximately 1.7 miles north of LA 36 

leaving the abandoned railroad line 

connecting to LA 434 then to I–12 at an 

existing interchange. 

• Alternative J—Construction of a 

new 21.1 mile highway segment 

beginning at the intersection of LA 

HWY 21 and LA HWY 41 following the 

abandoned railroad line to a point north 

of the Slidell Municipal Airport, 

widening Airport Road before 

connecting to I–12. 

• Alternative B/O—Construction of a 

new 19.5 mile highway segment 

upgrading Existing LA HWY 21 to just
