Notice of Availability of the Final 

Environmental Assessment (EA) and 

Finding of No Significant Impact/ 

Record of Decision (FONSI/ROD) for 

the Aberdeen Regional Airport in 

Aberdeen, South Dakota 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a Final 

EA and FONSI/ROD. 

SUMMARY: The FAA has issued the final 

EA final Environmental Assessment 

(EA) for the Aberdeen Regional Airport 

Updates and FONSI/ROD for the 

proposed decoupling of runways 13/31 

and 17/35 and fill on airport wetlands 

and associated actions for Aberdeen 

Regional Airport. The EA was prepared 

in accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended, FAA Orders 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ and FAA Order 5050.4B, 

‘‘NEPA Implementing Instructions for 

Airport Actions’’. 

Point of Contact: Mr. Al Fenedick, 

Environmental Protection Specialist,

60018, telephone number 847–294– 

7522. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

is issuing a final EA for the Aberdeen 

Regional Airport Updates and 

FONSVROD that evaluated the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed decoupling of Runways13/ 

31 and 17/35 and fill on airport 

wetlands actions at Aberdeen Regional 

Airport located in Aberdeen, South 

Dakota. Based on the analysis contained 

in the final EA, the FAA has determined 

the selected alternative has no 

associated significant impacts to 

resources identified in accordance with 

FAA Order I050.IE, Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures and 

FAA Order 5054.4B, National 

Environmental Policy Act Implementing 

Instructions for Airport Actions. 

Therefore, no environmental impact 

statement will be prepared. The 

proposed decoupling of runways 13/31 

and 17/35 and fill on airport wetlands 

project is needed to enhance the utility 

and safety of the Aberdeen Regional 

Airport for current and projected levels 

of aviation by the design aircraft family. 

Four alternatives were studied for 

meeting the purpose and need. Three of 

the four alternatives were reviewed, 

analyzed, discarded due to the degree of 

environmental impacts and not meeting 

purpose and need. A detailed 

discussion is in the V. Alternatives 

Discarded Section of the FONSVROD. 

The selected alternative is one of four 

considered in the final EA. The selected 

alternative consists of addressing the 

identified needs: Incompatible land use, 

non-standard runway configuration, and 

hazardous wildlife habitat. 

The selected alternative includes the: 

(I.) Unconditional approval of the 

Airport Layout Plan (ALP) for the 

development listed in the EA and the 

decision document. (2.) Issue final 

airspace determinations for the 

development listed on the ALP. (3.) 

Eligibility for Federal grants-in-aid 

funds for eligible items. (4.) Approval of 

design and use of air traffic procedures 

needed to implement the proposed 

action. (5.) FAA Finding of ‘‘No Historic 

Properties Affected’’ for the Proposed 

Action. (6.) FAA findings of ‘‘may affect, 

not likely to adversely affect’’ for the 

Topeka shiner and Whooping Crane 

endangered species. (7.) FAA Finding of 

‘‘No Impact’’ to floodplains. (8.) 

Wetland finding that there is no 

practicable alternatives to such 

construction and the proposed action 

includes all practicable measure to 

minimize harm to wetlands. (9.) 

Appropriate permits and mitigation will 

be needed before disbursing Federal 

funds. These documents will be 

available for public review during 

normal business hours at:

Public Notice for Waiver of 

Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance; J. 

Douglas Bake Memorial Airport (OCQ) 

Oconto, WI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with 

respect to land. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is considering a 

proposal to authorize the release of 0.32 

acres of airport property (Parcel No. 18) 

at the J. Douglas Bake Memorial Airport, 

Oconto, WI. 

Parcel No. 18 is located outside of the 

airport fence along the west edge of the 

airport and contains a part of a road 

used to access a land-locked parcel of 

private property located adjacent to the 

airport. Using the piece of airport 

property as an uncontrolled access road 

has resulted in a non-aeronautical use of

1 In that docket, on August 16, 2012, Union 

Pacific Railroad Company (UP) filed a verified 

notice of exemption under the Board’s class 

exemption procedures at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7). The 

notice covered the agreement by BNSF Railway 

Company (BNSF) to extend to December 31, 2012, 

the expiration date of the local trackage rights 

granted to Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) 

over BNSF’s line of railroad between BNSF 

mileposts 579.3 near Mill Creek, Okla., and 631.1 

near Joe Junction, Tex., a distance of approximately 

51 miles. UP submits that, while the trackage rights 

are only temporary rights, because they are ‘‘local’’ 

rather than ‘‘overhead’’ rights, they do not qualify 

for the Board’s class exemption for temporary 

trackage rights under 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(8). See 

Union Pac. R.R.—Temporary Trackage Rights 

Exemption—BNSF Ry., FD 34554 (Sub-No. 16) (STB 

served Aug. 31, 2012). 

2The trackage rights were originally granted in 

Union Pacific Railroad Company—Temporary 

Trackage Rights Exemption—The Burlington 

Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company, FD 

34554 (STB served Oct. 7, 2004). Subsequently, the 

parties filed several notices of exemption based on 

their agreements to extend expiration dates of the 

same trackage rights. See FD 34554 (Sub-No. 2) 

(STB served Feb. 11, 2005); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 4) 

(STB served Mar. 3, 2006); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 6) 

(STB served Jan. 12, 2007); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 8) 

(STB served Jan. 4, 2008); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 10) 

(STB served Jan. 8, 2009); FD 34554 (Sub-No. 12) 

(STB served Dec. 31, 2009); and FD 34554 (Sub-No. 

14) (STB served Feb. 11, 2011). Because the original 

and subsequent trackage rights notices were filed 

under the class exemption at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(7), 

under which trackage rights normally remain 

effective indefinitely, in each instance the Board 

granted partial revocation of the class exemption to 

permit the authorized trackage rights to expire. See 

FD 34554 (Sub-No. 1) (STB served Nov. 24, 2004); 

Continued 

airport property and a compliance issue 

for the airport. In addition, the 

uncontrolled access raises liability 

concerns for the airport. The land 

release would bring the airport into 

compliance with grant assurances and 

assure compatible land use. It would 

also remove the liability issue related to 

the unauthorized use of the access road. 

A categorical exclusion for this land 

release action was prepared by 

Wisconsin Dept. of TransportationBureau of Aeronautics and issued on 

June 22, 2011. 

The aforementioned land is not 

needed for aeronautical use. The parcel 

is depicted on the Airport Layout Plan 

and Exhibit ‘‘A’’ property map dated 

July 12, 2011. There are no impacts to 

the airport by allowing the airport to 

dispose of this parcel. 

The subject parcel was originally 

acquired on September 10, 2002, as part 

of Airport Improvement Program grant 

No. 04 and is described in the warranty 

deed recorded in Volume 933 pages 

480–481, Oconto County, Wisconsin. 

The value of the parcel is $600. 

In accordance with section 47107(h) 

of title 49, United States Code, this 

notice is required to be published in the 

Federal Register 30 days before 

modifying the land-use assurance that 

requires the property to be used for an 

aeronautical purpose.

or before December 14, 2012.
