endangered species (pink mucket,

Lampsillis orbiculata) These losses

would be mitigated by relocating the

mussels and possibly by other means to

be determined during consultation with

the United States Fish and Wildlife

Service. Disposal sites would be

landscaped and vegetated, and potential

impacts to a federally endangered plant

(Mountain skullcap, Scutellaria

montana) located adjacent to a disposal

site will be mitigated through

maintenance of a contiguous 250-foot

forest buffer zone. Shoreline restoration

downstream will be performed so as to

offset erosion and improve riverine

wetlands downstream of the project.

Fugitive dust would be reasonably

controlled through periodic wetting of

construction road surfaces or as

required by local and state air

regulations. No chemical agents, such as

oils, will be used to control fugitive

dust. Construction of a new lock will

have an impact on the existing historic

dam complex and will require a Section

106 review. No potential adverse effects

on archaeological or cultural resources

are anticipated. Temporary high noise

levels and navigation traffic congestion

would be expected during construction.

Environmental impacts associated

with the operation of the new lock

include socioeconomic benefits

associated with the continuation of

commercial and recreation lockages and

the loss of four spillway bays. Loss of

four spillways bays will not adversely

impact TVA’s ability to control flooding

up to a 5500 year flood event. Further,

through appropriate design of discharge

structures, TVA will attempt to

minimize potential impact on the

upstream migration of certain fish

species, such as sauger and buffalo.

The construction and operational

environmental impacts for the smaller

60 × 360 and 75 × 400 foot locks would

be similar to the impacts associated

with the proposed 110 × 600 foot lock.

Environmental impacts associated

with the no action alternative of

plugging the lock without replacing it,

include blocking the potential upstream

movement of spawning migratory fishes,

such as sauger and buffalo.

Additionally, navigation through

Chickamauga Dam would cease, causing

significant economic impact to industry

and recreation and would isolate the

upper Tennessee River from the lower

river system for commercial navigation.

This would result in a shift to land

transport of goods shipped through

Chickamauga Lock which would have

adverse impact on air quality from

increased truck and rail traffic. Further,

separation of the National Oak Ridge

Laboratory and other industry from

access to barge transportation could

result in lost opportunities for industrial

expansion, and at Oak Ridge, the

inability to move certain national

defense equipment there for

maintenance and repair.

Additionally, a number of mitigation

and monitoring requirements will be

incorporated in construction and

operational permits needed for the

Chickamauga Dam—Navigation Lock

Project.

Security Measures; Hellenikon

International Airport, Athens, Greece

Summary

The Secretary of Transportation has

now determined that Hellenikon

International Airport, Athens, Greece,

maintains and carries out effective

security measures.

Notice

By notice published on March 28,

1996, I announced that I had

determined that Hellenikon

International Airport, Athens, Greece,

did not maintain and carry out effective

security measures and that, pursuant to

49 U.S.C. 44907(d), I was providing

public notification of that

determination. I now find that

Hellenikon International Airport

maintains and carries out effective

security measures. My determination is

based on a recent Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) assessment

which reveals that security measures

used at the airport now meet or exceed

the Standards and Recommended

Practices established by the

International Civil Aviation

Organization.

I have directed that a copy of this

notice be published in the Federal

Register and that the news media be

notified of my determination. In

addition, as a result of this

determination, the FAA will direct that

signs posted in U.S. airports relating to

my March 21, 1996, determination be

removed, and U.S. and foreign air

carriers will no longer be required to

provide notice of that determination to

passengers purchasing tickets for

transportation between the United

States and Athens, Greece.

Dated: May 15, 1996.
