Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 172 / Wednesday, September 7, 2005 / Notices 53269 

Notice of Availability to advise the 

public that a Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement (DEIS) containing a 

DOT Section 4(f)/303(c) evaluation will 

be available for public review beginning 

September 9, 2005. The DEIS details the 

proposed development of a replacement 

airport and related facilities for the city 

of St. George, Utah and addresses the 

environmental impacts associated with 

its development. The DEIS presents the 

purpose and need for the proposed 

project, a comprehensive analysis of the 

alternatives to the proposed project, and 

potential environmental impacts 

associated with the proposed 

development of the proposed 

replacement airport. 

The City of St. George, operator of the 

existing St. George Municipal Airport, 

has submitted an Airport Layout Plan, 

as revised, for approval. The DEIS 

assesses the potential impacts that may 

result from the development of a 

replacement airport with a 9,3000-foot 

Runway 01/19 and all support facilities 

(i.e., taxiways and associated lighting 

and NAVAIDS). This DEIS also assesses 

the federal action regarding installation 

of navigational aids, airspace use, 

approach and departure procedures, and 

associated terminal and landside 

projects. One historic site, the Little 

Black Mountain Petroglyph site, would 

potentially be affected. This document 

also assesses the potential noise impact 

on Zion National Park, Little Black 

Mountain Petroglyph site, and 42 other 

potentially noise sensitive properties in 

the vicinity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Highways for LIFE Pilot 

Program. 

Background: Section 1502 of 

SAFETEA–LU establishes the 

‘‘Highways for LIFE’’ Pilot Program. The 

purpose of the Highways for LIFE pilot 

program is to advance longer-lasting 

highways using innovative technologies 

and practices to accomplish the fast 

construction of efficient and safe 

highways and bridges. ‘‘Highways for 

LIFE’’ is focused on accelerating the rate 

of adoption of proven technologies. The 

program will provide funding to States 

to accelerate technology adoption to 

construct, reconstruct, or rehabilitate 

Federal-aid highway projects that 

incorporate innovative technologies that 

will improve safety, reduce congestion 

due to construction and improve 

quality. Those States interested in 

participating in the ‘‘Highways for 

LIFE’’ program will submit an 

application for project funding. The 

information to be provided on the 

application includes a description of the 

project, the innovative technologies to 

be used and a description of how these 

technologies will improve safety, reduce 

construction congestion and improve 

quality. The collected information will 

be used by FHWA to evaluate and select 

projects for ‘‘Highways for LIFE’’

funding. 

Respondents: The fifty State 

Departments of Transportation, the 

District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
