[Docket No. FAA-2022-0559; Notice of Availability Docket No. 22-ANE-6]


Notice of Availability of the Final Environmental Assessment 
(Final EA)/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and Record of 
Decision (ROD) for a New Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP), Referred 
to as the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway 
4 Left (4L) Procedure, to Runway 4L at Boston Logan International 
Airport (BOS)

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

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA, Eastern Service Center, is issuing this notice to 
advise the public of the availability of the Final Environmental 
Assessment (Final EA) and FAA's Finding of No Significant Impact 
(FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) to implement a new RNAV GPS arrival 
procedure to Runway 4L at BOS.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Veronda Johnson, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Operations Support Group, Eastern Service Center, 1701 
Columbia Avenue, College Park, Georgia 30337, (404) 305-5598. 
Additional information about the FAA's actions and environmental review 
of this project is available at the following website: 
FAABostonWorkshops.com.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final EA responds to agency and public 
comments received by the FAA and it updates the Draft EA, issued on 
September 21, 2020. The Final EA and FONSI/ROD documents that the 
Proposed Action is consistent with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental 
Impacts: Policies and Procedures and with existing national 
environmental policies and objectives set forth in section 101 of the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. 
(NEPA), Council on Environmental Quality regulations, 40 CFR parts 
1500-1508, the requirements of section 106 of the National Historic 
Preservation Act, and all other applicable special purpose

laws. The Proposed Action will not significantly affect the quality of 
the human environment or otherwise include any condition requiring 
consultation pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of NEPA, and that an 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is therefore not necessary. The 
FONSI/ROD documents the FAA's decision to implement the Proposed Action 
alternative as detailed in and supported by the Final EA. The proposed 
instrument approach procedure will enhance public aviation safety by 
providing pilots with lateral and vertical electronic guidance to 
ensure a stabilized approach to landing, particularly during marginal 
and poor weather conditions. The proposed instrument approach procedure 
will also reduce delays at the Airport by reducing the number of 
flights that must be canceled during times of poor weather, resulting 
in an increase in efficiency at the airport as well as the National 
Airspace System (NAS) as a whole.
    Availability: The Final EA and FONSI/ROD are available for review 
at the following locations:
    (1) Online at FAABostonWorkshops.com.
