impacts of construction and operation of

a proposed LDA at the Santa Monica

Municipal Airport, Santa Monica, CA.

The FAA is the lead agency and will

assess the potential environmental

impacts of the proposed LDA and

alternatives. In conducting the planning

process the FAA will involve the public

and other agencies, as appropriate.

DATES: Written comments on the scope

of the EIS will be accepted at the

address below until May 1, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

E.I.S. may be sent to the FAA at the

following address:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Edward Duarte, Federal Aviation

Administration, (310) 297–0157.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

January 17, 1994 Northridge, CA

earthquake caused extensive damage to

the then existing Localizer-Type

Directional Aid (LDA) platform,

resulting in the LDA being taken out of

service and the platform being

dismantled. A replacement for the

instrument landing aid utilizing the

existing equipment is proposed in the

vicinity of the original LDA location.

One of the goals of the FAA is to

install Instrument Landing Systems

(ILSs) which have the ability to provide

guidance to pilots of properly equipped

aircraft, to enhance landing under

conditions of reduced ceilings and

lower visibility. In order to do this, ILSs

mut be appropriately located based on

FAA criteria. The LDA meets these

criteria and is compatible with the

Airport Master Plan and the January 31,

1984 Santa Monica Airport Agreement

between the City of Santa Monica and

the FAA.

The EIS will include a discussion of

the proposed acting and alternatives,

affected environment, potential impacts

or consequences of the proposed action,

and potential mitigation measures.

Alternatives

In addition to the proposed action, the

following alternatives may be

considered in the E.I.S.: (1) Global

positioning satellite (GPS) instrument

approach procedure, (2) microwave

landing system (MLS) and (3) the no

action alternative under which the LDA

would not be built.

Public Scoping Meetings

To insure the widest possible scope of

public concerns and issues, the FAA

solicits comments for consideration and

possible inclusion in the Draft E.I.S. All

interested persons are invited to attend

scoping meetings to be announced in

the local media.

Issued in Hawthorne, California on January

27, 1995.

BILLING CODE 4910–13–M

Federal Highway Administration

Environmental Impact Statement: Sauk

County, Wisconsin

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this

notice to advise the public that an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

will be prepared for the proposed

improvement of USH 12 between Lake

Delton and Sauk City in Sauk County,

Wisconsin.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Richard C. Madrzak, Statewide Projects

Engineer, Federal Highway

Administration, 4502 Vernon

Boulevard, Madison, Wisconsin 53705–

4905. Telephone (608) 264–5968.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

FHWA, in cooperation with the

Wisconsin Department of

Transportation, will prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement to

improve US Highway 12 (USH 12) from

Interstate 90/94 at Lake Delton South

through West Baraboo to the existing

divided roadway south of Ski Hi Road,

a distance of 19.3 km (12 mi).

The improvement of USH 12, which

is essentially a two-lane rural highway,

is considered necessary to provide

capacity for existing and projected

traffic demand and to reduce the high

collision rate.

Planning, environmental and

engineering studies are underway to

develop transportation alternatives. The

EIS will assess the need, location, and

environmental impacts of alternatives

within the I 90/94—Ski Hi Road Section

including (1) No-Build—This alternative

assumes the continued use of existing

facilities with the maintenance

necessary to ensure their use; (2)

Upgrade the Existing Facility—this

alternative would improve the traffic

handling capability and safety by

reconstruction of the existing route; (3)

New Alignment—this alternative would

provide for the construction of a fourlane divided expressway on new

location.

Information describing the proposed

action and soliciting comments will be

sent to appropriate Federal, State and

local agencies and to private

organizations and citizens who have

previously expressed, or are known to

have interest in this proposal. A series

of public meetings will be held in the

project corridor throughout the data

gathering and development of

alternatives. In addition, a public

hearing will be held. Public notice will

be given of the time and place of the

meetings and hearing. The Draft EIS will

be available for public and agency

review and comment prior to the

hearing. As part of the scoping process,

coordination activities have begun.

Scoping meetings will continue to be

held on an individual or group meeting

basis. Agency coordination will be

accomplished during these meetings.

To ensure that the full range of issues

related to this proposed action are

addressed and all significant issues are

identified, comments and suggestions

are invited from all interested parties.

Comments or questions concerning this

proposed action and the EIS should be

directed to FHWA at the address

provided above.
