Coast Guard

[CGD 96–018]

Annual Certification of Cook Inlet

Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Under the Oil Terminal and

Oil Tanker Environmental Oversight

and Monitoring Act of 1990, the Coast

Guard may certify, on an annual basis,

a voluntary advisory group instead of a

Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council for

Cook Inlet, Alaska. This certification

allows the advisory group to monitor

the activities of oil tankers and facilities

under the Cook Inlet Program

established by the Act. The purpose of

this notice is to inform the public that

the Coast Guard has recertified the

alternative voluntary advisory group for

Cook Inlet, Alaska.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 1, 1996, through

May 31, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

LCDR Peter A Jensen, Project Manager,

Port and Environmental Management

Division, (G–MOR–1), (202) 267–6134,

U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100

Second Street SW, Washington, DC,

20593–0001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of

the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, Congress

passed the Oil Terminal and Oil Tanker

Environmental Oversight and

Monitoring Act of 1990, (the Act), 33

U.S.C. 2732, the foster the long-term

partnership among industry,

government, and local communities in

overseeing compliance with

environmental concerns in the

operation of crude oil terminals and oil

tankers.

Section 2732(o) permits an alternative

voluntary advisory group to represent

the communities and interests in the

vicinity of the oil terminal facilities in

Cook Inlet, in lieu of a council of the

type specified in 33 U.S.C. 2732(d), if

certain conditions are met. The Act

requires that the group enter into a

contract to ensure annual funding and

receive annual certification by the

President that it fosters the general goals

and purposes of the Act and is broadly

representative of the community and

interests in the vicinity of the terminal

facilities. Accordingly, in 1991, the

President granted certification to the

Cook Inlet Regional Citizens’ Advisory

Council (CIRCAC). The authority to

certify alternative advisory groups was

subsequently delegated to the

Commandant of the Coast Guard, and

redelegated to the Chief, Marine Safety

and Environmental Protection.

On April 15, 1996, the Coast Guard

announced in the Federal Register, the

availability of the application for

recertification that it received from the

CIRCAC, and requested comments (61

FR 16518). Fourteen comments were

received.

Discussion of Comments

All of the comments received by the

Coast Guard supported recertification of

CIRAC. Two of the comments addressed

term limits, one sought to have

committee workplans submitted

through a public review process, one

sought annual community presentations

by the CIRCAC throughout the Cook

Inlet region, and one stated that CIRCAC

projects should clearly articulate multiyear goals. It is the Coast Guard’s

position that those comments can be

addressed successfully be CIRCAC and

has forwarded them to CIRCAC for their

review, consideration for what is

necessary to resolve the issues, and to

provide their response to the commenter

and the Coast Guard. Therefore, the

Coast Guard has determined that

recertification of CIRCAC in accordance

with the Act is appropriate.

Recertification

The Chief, Marine Safety and

Environmental Protection certified that

the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens’

Advisory Council qualifies as an

alternative voluntary advisory group

under the provisions of 33 U.S.C.

2732(o). This recertification terminates

on May 31, 1997.

Dated: June 17, 1996.

Federal Aviation Administration

Environmental Impact Statement: Blue

Grass Airport; Lexington, KY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) is issuing this

notice to advertise to the public that an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

is planned to be prepared and

considered for a proposed parallel

runway at Blue Grass Airport. The FAA

plans to hold a scoping meeting to
32884 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 25, 1996 / Notices

obtain input from the public regarding

the EIS.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Cynthia K. Wills, Federal Aviation

Administration, Airports District Office,

2851 Directors Cove, Suite 3, Memphis,

Tennessee 38131–0301. Telephone 901–

544–3495.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice announces that the FAA will

prepare an EIS for a proposed 9,000 ft

× 150 ft parallel runway, 4R–22L, at the

Blue Grass Airport (LEX) for air carrier

use.

The existing runway accommodates

all aircraft currently using the airport

but the Master Plan (MP) accepted

December 20, 1995, indicates that a new

runway is needed for capacity by the

year 2013. The Lexington-Fayette Urban

County Airport Board has recommended

a proposed parallel runway be

constructed 4,300 feet southeast of the

existing Runway 4/22. Construction of

taxiways, hold and de-ice pads

associated with the new runway are also

proposed. In addition the proposed

project will require property acquisition

and relocation of affected residents and

reconstruction of portions of Parkers

Mill Road and Airport Road beneath the

new runway and taxiway system. The

proposed parallel runway is planned as

a precision instrument runway (PIR)

with a CAT I/II to both runway ends.

The runway will have approach slopes

of 50:1 with a primary surface width of

1,000 ft.

The EIS will include evaluation of a

no-build alternative and other

reasonable alternatives that may be

identified during the public scoping

meeting. The proposed parallel runway

would provide sufficient airfield

capacity and versatility at LEX to

accommodate expected aircraft demand

when the Airport is forecast to be at

capacity in the year 2013. In addition

the proposed runway would provide

Blue Grass Airport with a primary

runway which will meet current FAA

design standards and permit the

continuation of air carrier service in the

event a runway has to be closed.

The EIS will determine any noise

impacts associated with the operation of

the proposed parallel runway. In

addition to noise impacts, the EIS will

determine any impacts on air and water

quality, wetlands, ecological resources,

floodplains, historic resources and

prime/unique farmland.

PUBLIC SCOPING: To ensure that the full

range of issues related to the proposed

project are addressed and that all

significant issues are identified,

comments and suggestions are invited

from all interested parties. FAA intends

to consult and coordinate with Federal,

State and local agencies which have

jurisdiction by law or have specific

expertise with respect to any

environmental impacts associated with

the proposed project. The meeting for

public agencies will be held at Blue

Grass Airport Board Room, located on

the second level of the Terminal

Building at the Airport, at 1 pm,

Wednesday, July 31, 1996. FAA will

also solicit input from the public with

a general public scoping meeting

scheduled at Paul Laurence Dunbar

High School cafeteria located on the

lower level, 1600 Man O’ War Blvd

Lexington, Kentucky, from 6–9 pm,

Wednesday, July 31, 1996.

Written comments may be mailed to

the Informational contact listed above

within 30 days from publication of this

Notice.

Questions may be directed to the

individual named above under the

heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

Proposed Finding of No Significant

Impact

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Proposed Finding of No

Significant Impact; Notice.

SUMMARY: An Environmental

Assessment (EA), which addresses the

Alaska Aerospace Development

Corporation’s (AADC) proposal to

construct and operate a launch site at

Narrow Cape on Kodiak Island, Alaska,

has been prepared. After reviewing and

analyzing currently available data and

information on existing conditions,

project impacts, and measures to

mitigate those impacts, the Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA), Office

of the Associate Administrator for

Commercial Space Transportation (AST)

proposes to determine that licensing the

operation of the proposed launch site, is

not a major Federal action that would

significantly affect the quality of the

human environment within the meaning

of the National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA) of 1969. Therefore the

preparation of an environmental impact

statement would not be required and

AST is proposing to issue a Finding of

No Significant Impact (FONSI).

PROPOSED ACTION: Operation of a nonFederal launch site in the United States,

such as AADC’s proposed construction

and operation of Kodiak Launch

Complex (KLC), a commercial space

launch site, on Kodiak Island, Alaska,

must be licensed by the FAA pursuant

to 49 U.S.C. §§ 70101–70119, formerly

the Commercial Space Launch Act.

Licensing the operation of a launch site

is a Federal action requiring

environmental analysis by the FAA in

accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42

U.S.C. § 4321 et seq. Upon receipt of a

complete application the Associate

Administrator for Commercial Space

Transportation must determine whether

to issue a license to AADC to operate

KLC. Environmental findings are

required for a license evaluation.

The launch site would be located on

a 3,100-acre tract of state-owned land on

a peninsula known as Narrow Cape.

Construction for the project would

involve (1) upgrading about 3 km of

gravel access road; (2) creating two

laydown areas for construction

equipment; (3) building a launch control

center, a payload processing facility, the

launch area, and a water pumphouse;

and (4) expanding an existing borrow

pit to obtain fill material. Construction

would disturb approximately 43 acres,

including about 1.5 acres of wetlands,

most of which is adjacent to the gravel

road leading to the launch complex.

To launch launch vehicles from KLC,

fee-paying customers would (1)
