[Docket No. FAA-2018-0939; Notice of Availability Docket No. 18-ANE-6]

Notice of Availability of Categorical Exclusion and Record of 
Decision (CATEX/ROD) for Boston Harbor Seaplane Operation, MA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA, Eastern Service Center is issuing this notice to 
advise the public of the availability of the Categorical Exclusion/
Record of Decision (CATEX/ROD) for the Boston Harbor Seaplane 
Operation. The FAA reviewed the action and determined it to be 
categorically excluded from further environmental review.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Andrew Pieroni, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Operations Support Group, Eastern Service Center, 1701 
Columbia Avenue, College Park, Georgia 30337, (404) 305-5586.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
proposes to implement a Letter of Agreement (LOA) between Boston 
Airport Traffic Control Tower (BOS ATCT), Boston Consolidated Terminal 
Radar Approach Control (A90) and Hyannis Air Service Inc., (OBA Cape 
Air [KAP]) for seaplane operations in the Boston, Massachusetts Inner 
Harbor. This proposed LOA would ensure standardized, safe and de-
conflicted seaplane operations in the Boston, Massachusetts Inner 
Harbor from BOS ATCT operations and allows for efficient airspace 
operations in the General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport 
(BOS) Class B airspace. The proposed VFR handling of seaplane arrivals 
and departures will enhance safety and minimize delays for aircraft at 
BOS. The FAA reviewed the action and determined it to be categorically 
excluded from further environmental review according to FAA Order 
1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures. The applicable 
categorical exclusion is Sec.  5-6.S(i.).
