SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Aviation Administration will 

prepare an EIS to assess the proposed 

projects at the Kodiak Airport. The list 

of major actions proposed to be assessed 

in the EIS includes improvements to the 

Runway Safety Areas on Runway 07/25 

and Runway 18/36. To improve the 

safety areas, the FAA will consider 

alternatives such as the relocation, 

shifting or realignment of runways; a 

combination of runway relocation, 

shifting, grading, realignment; declared 

distances; and Engineered Material 

Arresting Systems (EMAS). 

The Runway Safety Area deficiencies 

were identified in the Kodiak Airport 

Master Plan. The State of Alaska 

Department of Transportation and 

Public Facilities published the Airport 

Master Plan in January 2004. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to the proposed actions are 

addressed and that all significant issues 

are identified, the FAA intends to 

coordinate and consult with the public;

tribal governments; and Federal, State, 

and local agencies that have jurisdiction 

by law or have special expertise with 

respect to any environmental impacts 

associated with the proposed projects. 

The agency scoping meetings will be 

held in Anchorage, Alaska on March 

27th, 2007 and in Kodiak, Alaska on 

March 28th, 2007. A public scoping 

meeting will be held in Kodiak, Alaska 

on March 28th, 2007. Notification of the 

public scoping meeting will be 

published on the project Web site 

(www.kodiakairporteis.com), in the 

Kodiak Daily Mirror, and in the 

Anchorage Daily News. 

In addition to providing input at the 

scoping meetings, the agencies and the 

public may submit written comments 

via the e-mail address 

Comments@KodiakAirportEIS.com or 

the address under, ‘‘To Submit Written 

Comments, Send To.’’ Comments must 

be submitted by April 9th, 2007.

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 proposed highway 

improvements to United States Highway 

14 (Highway 14) from the existing fourlane bypass of Dodge Center to the 

intersection of Highway 14 and 

Interstate 35 (I–35) in Owatonna, a 

distance of approximately 19 miles, in 

Dodge and Steele Counties, Minnesota.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the 

Minnesota Department of 

Transportation (Mn/DOT), will prepare 

an EIS on a proposal to reconstruct 

Highway 14 from the existing four-lane 

bypass of Dodge Center, Dodge County, 

to the intersection of Highway 14 and I–

35 in Owatonna, Steele County, 

Minnesota, a distance of approximately 

19 miles. The proposed action is being 

considered to address future 

transportation demand and safety 

problems and to enhance system 

continuity. 

This segment of Highway 14 was 

previously included in an EIS process, 

which addressed a broader 24-mile 

segment of Highway 14 from Owatonna 

to Kasson. The Draft EIS for the 

Owatonna to Kasson project was 

approved in October 1991 and the Final 

EIS was approved in August 1993. The 

1993 Final EIS defined two project 

segments. The first was an extension of 

the four-lane, divided expressway from 

Kasson to the west side of Dodge Center 

at Highway 56 (including the Dodge 

Center bypass). At the time of the EIS, 

this project was programmed for 

construction in 1994. The second 

segment involved extending the four 

lanes from Highway 56 to Highway 218 

in Owatonna. This segment was not 

programmed for construction when the 

EIS was completed. Since the 1993 

Final EIS, the Kasson to Dodge Center 

segment has been constructed as a fourlane highway, including a freeway 

design bypass of Dodge Center. The 

‘‘1993 preferred alternative’’ for the 

segment between Dodge Center and 

Owatonna has not been constructed. 

With the completion of the Dodge 

Center to Kasson segment, and the 

imminent completion of the Highway 14 

improvements west of I–35, a process 

was started to re-evaluate the 1993 EIS 

conclusions regarding the Owatonna to 

Dodge Center segment. This segment 

continues to increase in priority given 

traffic growth, safety concerns, and the 

logic of completing the last segment of 

Highway 14 between Mankato and 

Rochester to be expanded to a four-lane 

highway. Based on a review of the 1993 

EIS and the changes in transportation 

needs that have taken place since 1993, 

it was concluded that a new EIS for the 

Owatonna to Dodge Center segment 

should be completed for the following 

reasons: 

—The vision for Highway 14 has 

changed to a controlled access 

freeway design, as opposed to the 

expressway design determined by the 

1993 EIS, due to overall traffic 

growth, safety concerns, access 

spacing issues, driver expectation and 

increased truck traffic and, 

—The previously identified preferred 

alternative of expanding on the
