existing ATCT would be decommissioned after the ATCT is operational. The increased square footage of the ATCT will provide the capability to meet future expansion requirements. The Base Building design will conform to the guidelines of the Terminal Facilities Design Standards for Base Building and EnvironmentalSupport Buildings with a modified slabon-grade 7,000 SF floor plan. A new link building will connect the two structures, and paved surface parking will be constructed next to the Base Building. A 10-foot security fence will be constructed around the complex. The project will incorporate energy conservation, recycled materials, and green technologies where practicable. In addition, the Runway 28 localizer antenna and shelter will be shifted slightly to maintain optimal operational characteristics. The existing antenna and shelter will be removed once the new equipment is operational.

The new ATCT will accommodate current and future modernization of the NAS, improve visibility of airport surfaces, provide adequate space to improve operational and administrative efficiency, accommodate future air traffic growth and overall, and increase the efficient functionality of the facility.

The Final EA has been prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, and FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures. ’’ In addition, FAA Order 5050.4B, ‘‘National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Implementing Instructions for Airport Actions’’ has been used as guidance in the preparation of the environmental analysis.

**Federal Aviation Administration Orders Limiting Scheduled Operations**  **at John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport and Newark**  **Liberty International Airport; High Density Rule at Reagan National**  **Airport**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. **ACTION :**  Notice of limited waiver of the slot usage requirement.

**SUMMARY :**  This action announces a limited waiver of the requirements to use slots at Washington’s Reagan National Airport (DCA) and Operating Authorizations (slots) at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). This policy is effective from February 5, 2010 through February 15, 2010.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

Multiple snowstorms in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States beginning February 5, 2010, severely disrupted aviation and other modes of transportation. Substantial amounts of snow from these storms resulted in numerous airport closures. Airports’ capacity was also significantly reduced due to weather, snow removal operations, and aircraft deicing programs. Air carriers responded by cancelling flights and combining operations, and the FAA used traffic management programs as needed to manage traffic with available airspace and airport capacity. Carriers instituted network operational recovery plans during this time to position aircraft and crews needed to resume scheduled operations.

The degree of disruption and cancellations varied by airport and by day, but DCA, JFK, LGA, and EWR all were affected by the storms. However, the flight disruptions were not limited to the slot-controlled airports. Operations at other airports in the Washington, DC, area and throughout the eastern United States were likewise impacted. Recovery of normal operations took several days after the initial storms and was exacerbated by subsequent adverse weather conditions. Operations at all airports appeared to return to normal by February 16.

Under the FAA’s High Density Rule and orders limiting scheduled operations at the airports, slots must be used at least 80 percent of the time. Slots not meeting the minimum usage rules will be withdrawn or not receive historic precedence for the following scheduling season, depending on the
