SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA, 

as lead agency, has completed and is 

publishing a ROD for proposed 

improvements identified at LGA. The 

ROD was prepared pursuant to Title 40 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

1505.2. 

The Final EIS for the proposed LGA 

Access Improvement Project was 

published on the project website at 

www.lgaaccesseis.com on March 15, 

2021 and two Notices of Availability in 

the Federal Register were published; 

the first by the FAA on March 18, 2021 

(86 FR 14796) and the second by the 

Environmental Protection Agency on 

March 19, 2021 (86 FR 14908). The FAA 

prepared the Final EIS pursuant to: The 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969, 42 United States Code 

(U.S.C.) 4321 et seq.; the Council of 

Environmental Quality implementing 

regulations, 40 CFR parts 1500–1508; 

FAA Order 1050.1F; and FAA Order 

5050.4B. FAA assessed the potential 

environmental impacts of the Proposed 

Action, as well as the No Action 

Alternative. 

In the Final EIS, the FAA identified 

the Proposed Action as its preferred 

alternative in meeting the purpose and 

need of addressing unpredictable and 

increasing travel times to and from LGA 

and space constraints for employee 

parking. The Proposed Action includes: 

• Construction of an above ground 

fixed guideway automated people 

mover (APM) system approximately 2.3 

miles in length that extends from the 

LGA Central Hall Building under 

construction to the Mets-Willets Point 

Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and New 

York City Transit Subway Flushing Line 

(7 Line) Stations; 

• construction of two on-Airport 

APM stations (Central Hall APM Station 

and East APM Station) and one offAirport APM station at Willets Point 

(Willets Point APM Station) that 

provides connections to the MetsWillets Point LIRR and 7 Line stations; 

• construction of passenger walkway 

systems to connect the APM stations to 

the passenger terminals, parking 

garages, and ground transportation 

facilities; 

• construction of a multi-level APM 

operations, maintenance, and storage 

facility (OMSF) that includes up to 

1,000 parking spaces (500 for airport 

employees, 250 for Metropolitan 

Transportation Authority (MTA) 

employees, 50 for APM employees, and 

200 for replacement Citi Field parking); 

• construction of three traction power 

substations to provide power to the 

APM guideway: One located at the onAirport East Station, another at-grade 

west of the proposed Willets Point 

Station just south of Roosevelt Avenue, 

and the third at the OMSF; 

• construction of a 27kV main 

substation located adjacent to the OMSF 

structure on MTA property; 

• construction of utilities 

infrastructure, both new and modified, 

as needed, to support the Proposed 

Action, including a permanent 

stormwater outfall into Flushing Creek 

and a temporary stormwater outfall into 

Flushing Creek; and 

• acquisition of temporary and 

permanent easements; no private 

property will be acquired. 

The Proposed Action also includes 

various connected actions, including: 

Utility relocation and demolition of 

certain existing facilities; a temporary 

MTA bus storage/parking facility; 

relocation of up to 200 Citi Field 

parking spaces; demolition and 

replacement of the Passerelle Bridge; 

temporary walkway to maintain access 

between the transit stations and 

Flushing Meadows-Corona Park; 

modifications to the Mets-Willets Point 

LIRR Station, including new shuttle 

service on the LIRR Port Washington 

Line; and the relocation of several 

World’s Fair Marina facilities, including 

a boat lift, finger piers and connected 

timber floating dock, Marina office and 

boatyard facility, boat storage and 

parking, and operations shed. 

The ROD includes FAA’s favorable 

environmental findings and 

determinations needed for the Port 

Authority to pursue future funding 

subject to FAA oversight pursuant to 49 

U.S.C. 47106 and 47107 and 49 U.S.C. 

40117. The findings included in the 

ROD are: 

• The Proposed Action will conform 

with the Clean Air Act of 1970, as 

amended (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.); 

• The Proposed Action includes all 

practicable measures to minimize harm 

to endangered species as much as such 

harm may result from implementation 

of the Proposed Action (Endangered 

Species Act of 1974, U.S.C. 1531, as 

amended); 

• There is no prudent and feasible 

alternative to use of lands containing 

publicly owned parks, recreation areas, 

national wildlife refuges, or significant 

historic sites protected under Section 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
39098 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 139 / Friday, July 23, 2021 / Notices

Action includes all possible planning to 

minimize harm to resources protected 

under Section 4(f) of the DOT Act (49 

U.S.C. 303(c) and Section 106, National 

Historic Preservation Act); 

• Relocation assistance, if any, will be 

provided in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 

460, Uniform Relocation Assistance and 

Real Property Acquisition Policies Act 

of 1970; 

• Further mitigation measures or 

alternatives that would avoid or reduce 

the disproportionately high and adverse 

effects to minority environmental justice 

populations are not practicable (DOT 

Order 5610.2B and E.O. 12989); 

• The Proposed Action would 

conform to all applicable state and/or 

local floodplain protection standards 

(E.O. 11988); 

• The Proposed Action complies with 

the enforceable policies of New York 

State’s approved coastal management 

program and will be conducted in a 

manner consistent with such program; 

• The Proposed Action conforms to 

the Avoidance, Minimization and/or 

Compensation of Harm to Wetlands in 

Accordance with E.O. 11990 and the 

Clean Water Act; 

• The Proposed Action includes all 

practicable means to avoid or minimize 

harm from the alternative selected (40 

CFR 1505.2(a)(3)); and 

• The FAA has given this proposal 

the independent and objective 

evaluation required by the CEQ (40 CFR 

1506.5). 

The determinations included in the 

ROD are: 

• The Proposed Action is reasonably 

consistent with existing plans of public 

agencies for development of areas 

surrounding the airport (49 U.S.C. 

47106(a)(1)), and E.O. 12372; 

• Appropriate action, including the 

adoption of zoning laws, has been or 

will be taken as reasonable to restrict 

the land use next to or near the airport 

to uses that are compatible with airport 

operations (49 U.S.C. 47107(a)(10)); and 

• The interest of the communities in 

or near where the Proposed Action may 

be located were given fair consideration 

(49 U.S.C. 47106(b)(2)). 

This ROD also presents the decision 

of the NPS, as cooperating agency in the 

Final EIS, to approve a partial 

conversion of 0.5 acres of parklands 

subject to the Land and Water 

Conservation Fund (LWCF) Act in 

Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, as well 

as to approve a Temporary NonConforming Use (TNCU) of 1.2 acres of 

parkland subject to the LWCF Act.

announce actions taken by Caltrans that 

are final within the meaning of the 

regulation. The actions relate to a 

proposed highway project on State 

Route 198 from post mile R11.3/R12.0 

and on State Route 216 from post mile 

R0.0/R2.56 in Tulare County for the 

Lovers Lane Operational Improvements 

and Rehabilitation Project. Those 

actions grant licenses, permits, and 

approvals for the project. 

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on 

behalf of Caltrans, is advising the public 

of final agency actions subject to 23 

U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking 

judicial review of the Federal agency 

actions on the highway project will be 

barred unless the claim is filed on or 

before December 20, 2021. If the Federal 

law that authorizes judicial review of a 

claim provides a time period of less 

than 150 days for filing such claim, then 

that shorter time period still applies.

on-ramps and off-ramps at Mineral King 

Avenue. The project also proposes to 

extend the life of the existing pavement 

along State Route 216 by rehabilitating 

the existing pavement and including all 

pertinent standards as required by the 

3R Program (resurfacing, restoration, 

and rehabilitation). 

The actions by the Federal agencies, 

and the laws under which such actions 

were taken, are described in the Final
