DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Air Traffic Procedures Advisory 

Committee 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Categorical Exclusion 

from Further Environmental Review for 

Standard Instrument Departures at La 

Guardia Airport. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice 

to advise the public of its environmental 

review of four standard instrument 

departure procedures at LaGuardia 

International Airport (LGA). As required 

by the National Environmental Policy 

Act, an evaluation has been performed 

on the four proposed standard 

instrument departure procedures to 

determine the level of environmental 

review warranted. The FAA has elected 

to ‘‘Categorically Exclude from further 

environmental review’’ the four 

proposed departure procedures 

identified as GLDMN FOUR (RNAV) 

Runway 13, NTHNS TWO (RNAV) 

Runway 13, HOPEA ONE (RNAV) 

Runway 22, and JUTES ONE (RNAV) 

Runway 22. 

DATES: Effective upon publication. A 

Categorical Exclusion (Cat Ex) from 

environmental review does not require 

a formal public hearing or a formal 

public comment period prior to the Cat 

Ex becoming effective. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Lee Kyker, Environmental Specialist, 

Air Traffic Eastern Service Center, 

Operations Support Group, 1701 

Columbia Ave., College Park, GA 30337. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that the FAA has elected 

to ‘‘Categorically Exclude from further 

environmental review’’ the proposed 

RNAV departure procedures as follows: 

GLDMN FOUR (RNAV) Runway 13, 

NTHNS TWO (RNAV) Runway 13, 

HOPEA ONE (RNAV) Runway 22, and 

JUTES ONE (RNAV) Runway 22. 

Project: Publish GLDMN FOUR (RNAV) 

Runway 13, NTHNS TWO (RNAV) 

Runway 13, HOPEA ONE (RNAV) 

Runway 22, and JUTES ONE (RNAV) 

Runway 22. 

Location: LaGuardia International 

Airport (LGA). 

This project consists of publishing 

RNAV departure procedures identified 

as the GLDMN FOUR (RNAV) Runway 

13, NTHNS TWO (RNAV) Runway 13, 

HOPEA ONE (RNAV) Runway 22, and 

JUTES ONE (RNAV) Runway 22. RNAV 

facilitates more efficient design of 

airspace and procedures which 

collectively result in improved safety, 

access, predictability, and operational 

efficiency. Improved access and 

flexibility for point-to-point operations 

help enhance reliability and reduce 

delays by defining more precise 

terminal area procedures. The altitude 

restrictions in the GLDMN will permit 

LGA to land Runway 4 and make right 

turns with Runway 13 departures. 

LGA’s Runway 22 is used under very 

limited conditions, such as when 

required by weather or when Runway 

13/31 is closed. The conditions of use 

of Runway 22 will not change, however 

use of the HOPEA ONE and JUTES ONE 

procedures will provide for greater 

efficiency under these limited use 

conditions. The review process 

indicated that the proposed project will 

not adversely impact the environment. 

Consequently, the FAA has elected to 

‘‘Categorically Exclude from further 

environmental review’’ the proposed 

RNAV Standard Instrument Departure 

procedures (SIDS), based upon 

compliance with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

§ 311(i).
