John Glenn Columbus International 

Airport (CMH), Columbus, Ohio 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice 

to advise the public that the FAA has 

prepared and approved (June 22, 2017) 

a FONSI/ROD based on the Final EA for 

the CMH Midfield Development Project. 

The Final EA was prepared in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended, FAA Orders 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ and 5050.4B, ‘‘NEPA 

Implementing Instructions for Airport 

Actions’’. 

DATES: This notice is applicable August

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Ernest Gubry, Environmental Protection 

Specialist, DET–606, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Detroit Airport District 

Office, 11677 South Wayne Road, Suite 

107, Romulus, MI 48174. Telephone 

number: 734–229–2905. Copies of the 

FONSI/ROD and/or Final EA are 

available upon written request by 

contacting Mr. Ernest Gubry through the 

contact information above. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final 

EA evaluated the CMH Midfield 

Development Project. The purpose of 

the project is to provide sufficient 

parking capacity to meet current and 

forecast demand while maintaining an 

acceptable level of service; provide 

sufficient rental car capacity and 

facilities to meet current and forecast 

demand while maintaining an 

acceptable level of service; provide 

sufficient terminal capacity and 

improved level of service; increase the 

efficiency of the airfield and reduce 

airfield taxi time; maximize the use of 

airport land not needed for aeronautical 

development; and provide sufficient 

facilities for aircraft fueling to support 

current and forecast airport operations. 

The Final EA identified and evaluated 

all reasonable alternatives. Numerous 

alternatives were considered but did not 

meet the purpose and need. 

Based on the analysis in the Final EA, 

the FAA has determined that the 

proposed alternative will not result in 

significant impacts to resources 

identified in accordance with FAA 

Orders 1050.1F and 5050.4B. Therefore, 

an environmental impact statement will 

not be prepared.
