DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Cancellation of Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Oklahoma Launch 

Site Operator License for the ClintonSherman Industrial Airpark (CSIA) 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation. 

SUMMARY: On October 23, 2002, the FAA 

published a Notice of Intent to prepare 

an environmental impact statement 

(EIS) for the Oklahoma Space Industry 

Development Authority’s (OSIDA’s) 

proposal to operate a commercial 

launch site at the Clinton-Sherman 

Industrial Airpark (CSIA) in the Federal 

Register (67 FR 65169). The original 

proposed action included horizontal 

and vertical launches, significant 

construction activities, orbital launches, 

and vehicle manufacturing. The nature 

of these activities necessitated that the 

proposed action be addressed through 

the preparation of an EIS. 

Subsequent changes to the proposed 

action have eliminated the need for 

vertical launch, construction of any 

kind, orbital launches, and vehicle 

manufacturing. The proposed action as 

currently stated involves the horizontal 

launch of suborbital Reusable Launch 

Vehicles from an existing runway at the 

CSIA. The horizontal launch activities 

are similar to the current Air Force 

activities at the CSIA and are not 

expected to produce significant impacts, 

indicating that an EA would be the most 

appropriate NEPA analysis for OSIDA’s 

proposed activities. 

Scoping meetings were held in 

Oklahoma in November 2002. Because 

the proposed action is a subset of the 

information originally presented during 

scoping, we do not propose to re-initiate 

scoping meetings. For the reasons stated 

above, the FAA is canceling the EIS and 

will prepare an Environmental 

Assessment to analyze the impacts of 

the proposed action.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of the Availability of the Record 

for Decision of O’Hare Modernization, 

at Chicago O’Hare International 

Airport, Chicago, IL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of the Availability of the 

Record of Decision for O’Hare 

Modernization. 

Location of Proposed Action: O’Hare 

International Airport, Chicago, Illinois, 

(Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, and 18, 

Township 41 North, Range 10 East, 3rd 

P.M.). 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces the 

Record of Decision (ROD) for O’Hare 

Modernization, for Chicago O’Hare 

International Airport, Chicago, Illinois 

is available. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The City 

of Chicago (City), Department of 

Aviation, as owner and operator of 

Chicago O’Hare International Airport 

(O’Hare or the Airport), PO Box 66142, 

Chicago, IL, 60666, proposes to 

modernize O’Hare to address existing 

and future capacity and delay problems. 

The City initiated master planning and 

the process of seeking FAA approval to 

amend its airport layout plan to depict 

the O’Hare Modernization Program 

(OMP). The city is also seeking the other 

necessary FAA approvals to implement 

the OMP and associated capital 

improvements and procedures. The 

FAA prepared an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) addressing specific 

improvements at and adjacent to 

Chicago O’Hare International Airport, 

Chicago, Illinois. The Draft EIS was 

issued on January 21, 2005 and the 

Final EIS was issued on July 22, 2005. 

The FAA also held three public hearings 

on February 22, 23, and 24, 2005. The 

FAA’s EIS presents an evaluation of the 

City’s proposed project and reasonable 

alternatives. Under the City’s concept, 

O’Hare’s existing seven-runway 

configuration would be replaced by an 

eight-runway configuration, in which 

six runways would be oriented 

generally in the east/west direction, the 

existing northeast/southwest-oriented 

Runways 4L/22R and 4R/22L would 

remain, and Runways 14L/32R and 14R/ 

32L would be closed. 

On September 29, 2005 the FAA 

approved the Record of Decision for 

O’Hare Modernization which approves: 

A. The unconditional approval of the 

revised Airport Layout Plan (ALP) for 

the projects summarized in Chapter 3 of 

the Final EIS, which constitute the 

proposed development. 

B. Eligibility for Federal grant-in-aid 

funds and/or PFC, including the 

following elements: 

1. Land Acquisition. 

2. Site Preparation. 

3. Runway, Taxiway, and Runway 

Safety Area Construction. 

4. Terminal and Other Landside 

Development. 

5. Installation of Navigational Aids. 

6. Environmental Mitigation. 

7. Noise Mitigation Projects. 

C. Determination and actions, through 

the aeronautical study process of any 

off-airport obstacles that might be 

obstructions to the navigable airspace 

under the standards and criteria of 14 

CFR part 77 and evaluate the 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 194 / Friday, October 7, 2005 / Notices 58785 

appropriateness of proposals for onairport development from an airspace 

utilization and safety perspective based 

on aeronautical studies conducted 

pursuant to the processes under the 

standards and criteria of 14 CFR part 

157. 

D. Development of air traffic control 

and airspace management procedures to 

establish and maintain safe and efficient 

handling and movement of air traffic 

into and out of the airport under 49 

U.S.C. 40103, 40113, and 40120; 

development and approval of revision to 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAP), Standard Instrument 

Departures (SID) and Standard 

Approach Routes (STAR) procedures for 

the reconfigured runways (14 CFR part 

97). 

E. Determinations that the proposed 

new airfield alignment, including 

runways and taxiways, conform to FAA 

design criteria. Approval of protocols 

for maintaining coordination among 

sponsor offices, construction personnel, 

and appropriate FAA program offices, 

ensuring safety during construction. 

F. Determinations that air quality 

impacts associated with the proposed 

project conform to the State 

Implementation Plan under section 

176(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act, as 

amended (42 U.S.C. 7506(c)(1), and 40 

CFR part 93). 

G. Review and subsequent approval of 

an amended Airport Certification 

Manual for ORD (per 14 CFR part 139). 

H. Review and subsequent approval of 

amended air carrier operations 

specifications for service at ORD.
