10 As noted above, SMART stated that it filed its October 6 reply in accordance with the Board’s order and was not ‘‘waiving its right to file a more detailed response to the [October 4] Petition.’’ (Reply 2 n.1.)

i. Address Town of Woodbridge v. Consolidated Rail Corp., NOR 42053 (STB served Dec. 1, 2000), and PCS Phosphate Co. v. Norfolk Southern Railway, 559 F.3d 212 (4th Cir. 2009); and

ii. Discuss the feasibility of NCRA/ NWPCo storing loaded LPG tank cars elsewhere, either on tracks they currently own or lease or on tracks they could lease from other parties, or moving loaded LPG tank cars directly from their origin to their ultimate destination, thus avoiding entirely temporary storage at Schellville or elsewhere.

c. What effect, if any, does SMART’s status as a governmental agency have on the preemption analysis?

As discussed above, the Petitioners and SMART have filed their initial pleadings. 10 However, the Board is establishing a procedural schedule for receiving additional evidence. In addition, either party may move for an appropriate protective order to protect against the public disclosure of any commercially sensitive, confidential information.

It is ordered: 1. The procedural schedule is as follows: November 23, 2016 NCRA’s and

NWPCo’s opening is due. December 5, 2016 SMART’s and any

other party’s replies are due. 2. All filings and decisions in Docket No. NOR 42148 will be considered part of the record in Docket No. FD 36077.

3. Notice of this decision will be published in the Federal Register

.

4. This decision is effective on its service date.

Decided: November 3, 2016. By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of Proceedings. Jeffrey Herzig,
Clearance Clerk.

**Federal Aviation Administration**

**Notice of Opportunity for Public Comment on Surplus Property Release**  **at Madras Municipal Airport, Madras, Oregon** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Request for public comments.

**SUMMARY :**  Under the provisions of Title 49, U.S.C. Section 47153(d), notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request from Madras Municipal Airport, in Madras, OR to waive the surplus property requirements for approximately 5.22 acres of airport property located at Madras Municipal Airport, in Madras, OR.

The subject property is currently under lease with Wilbur-Ellis Company. This property serves Wilbur Ellis Company and their Agribusiness Division well because of its close proximity to both the rail system (City rail spur and Burlington Northern Santa Fe main track) and Highway 97/26. From this location, they import, export and distribute various agricultural commodities throughout Central Oregon. This release will enable the City of Madras to complete a promise made in 1995 whereby the City agreed to diligently and aggressively pursue the approval of the United States of America to sell the 5.22 acres to Wilbur Ellis Company, if Wilbur Ellis were willing to relocate their company to the Madras community thereby providing much needed jobs. The estimated net proceeds from the subject property will be applied toward the City’s current five-year airport capital improvement plan or to relocating a hangar at the airport that is called out to be moved in the airport master plan. It has been determined through study and master planning that the subject parcels will not be needed for aeronautical purposes.

**DATES :**  Effective Date: Comments must be received on or before December 9,
2016.

**ADDRESSES :**  Send comments on this document to Ms. Cayla Morgan, at the Federal Aviation Administration, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, Washington 98057, Telephone 425–227–2653.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Documents are available for review by appointment by contacting Ms. Cayla Morgan, Telephone 425–227–2653 or by contacting Mr. Jason Ritchie, Federal Aviation Administration, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, Washington, 425–

**Office of Commercial Space Transportation; Adoption and Notice of**  **Availability of the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for Boost**  **back and Landing of the Falcon 9 Full Thrust First Stage at SLC–4 West at**  **Vandenberg Air Force Base, California and Offshore Landing Contingency**  **Option**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT).

**ACTION :**  Notice of availability of the FONSI.

**SUMMARY :**  In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA; 42 United States Code 4321 et seq. ), Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA implementing regulations (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] parts 1500 to 1508), and FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, the FAA is announcing the adoption of, and availability of a FONSI for, the U.S. Air Force’s (USAF’s) Environmental Assessment, Boost-Back and Landing of the Falcon 9 Full Thrust First Stage at SLC–4 West, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California and Offshore Landing Contingency Option (EA).

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Mr. Daniel Czelusniak, Environmental Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave. SW., Room 325, Washington, DC 20591; email Daniel.Czelusniak@faa.gov; or phone (202) 267–5924.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The USAF acted as the lead agency, and the FAA was a cooperating agency, in the preparation of the EA. The EA analyzed the potential environmental impacts of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) constructing a landing pad and improving infrastructure at Space Launch Complex 4 West (SLC–4W) at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB), as well as conducting boost-backs and landings of the Falcon 9 first stagebooster at SLC–4W or on a specialpurpose barge, no less than 31 miles offshore in the Pacific Ocean. The EA was prepared in accordance with NEPA, CEQ NEPA implementing regulations, the USAF’s Environmental Impact Analysis Process (32 CFR 989), and FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures.

As the activities considered in the EA would require Federal actions (as defined in 40 CFR 1508.18) involving the USAF and FAA, the EA was prepared to satisfy the NEPA obligations of both agencies. The FAA’s Federal action in this matter pertains to its role in issuing licenses for the operation of commercial launch and reentry vehicles at launch sites. The USAF issued a FONSI on April 26, 2016, which stated that implementing the Proposed Action would not have a significant effect on the human environment. Based upon its independent review and consideration of the EA, the FAA formally adopts the EA—concurring with the EA’s analysis of impacts and findings—and issues a FONSI to support the issuance of launchlicenses to SpaceX for Falcon 9 boostback and landing operations at VAFB or in the Pacific Ocean. If, in their license application to the FAA, SpaceX makes changes to their operations which fall outside the scope of the EA, additional environmental review would be required prior to the FAA issuing a license associated with such an application.

After reviewing and analyzing available data and information on existing conditions and potential impacts, the FAA has determined that issuing launch licenses to SpaceX for Falcon 9 boost-back and landing operations at VAFB or in the Pacific Ocean is a Federal action that would not significantly affect the quality of the human environment within the meaning of NEPA. The FAA made this determination in accordance with all applicable environmental laws and FAA regulations.

The FAA has posted the FONSI on the internet at http://www.faa.gov/about/ office
