Green Airport, Warwick, RI Federal Aviation Administration, DOT. ACTION: Notice of public environmental scoping meetings. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is issuing notice to advise the public that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared for airport projects VerDate jul<14>2003 15:11 Jan 18, 2005 Jkt 205001 proposed by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC). These projects include an extension of Runway 5–23 and other projects included in the T.F. Green Airport Master Plan. To ensure that all significant issues related to the proposed action are identified, public scoping meetings will be held. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Silva, Manager, Environmental Programs, Airports Division, New England Region, Federal Aviation Administration, 12 New England Executive Park, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803. Telephone number: (617) 238–7602. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public scoping meeting were first held on July 25, 2002. After initial work commenced on the EIS for the Airport Improvements at T.F. Green Airport, the EIS was postponed while additional airport master planning was undertaken, and the Airport Master Plan was revised to advance a long-term need for a major extension of Runway 5–23 to a reasonably foreseeable project in the nearer term. Because an environmental evaluation of a major extension of Runway 5–23 was not part of the 2002 Scope of Work for the EIS, FAA is conducting additional public scoping. This project and other proposed projects have the potential for significant adverse environmental effects, including aircraft noise, community disruption, and wetlands fill. Comments and suggestions are invited from federal, state, and local agencies and other interested parties in order to ensure that a full range of issues related to the proposed projects are identified and addressed in the scope of work for the EIS. Comments and suggestions may be mailed to FAA at the above address. Public Scoping Meetings: In order to provide public input, a scoping meeting for Federal, State, and local governmental agencies will be held on Tuesday, February 8, 2005, at 1 p.m. at the Radisson Airport Hotel, 2081 Post Road, Warwick, Rhode Island. An additional meeting to receive general public input will be held the same day at the same location, between 5 and 8 p.m. The format of this meeting will permit attendance anytime during this period. Attendees should allow for at least one hour. FAA recommends that commenters place emphasis on the extension of Runway 5–23 at these scoping meetings, since other projects in the EIS were the subject of public comment and input in 2002. Representatives of Federal, State, and local governmental agencies are encouraged to attend both events.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00103 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3097 I. Description of Study Area and Scope The Federal Transit Administration (FTA), as joint lead agency with the City of Tucson, will prepare an AA/EIS on a proposal to improve transit service in an approximately five-mile long corridor in central Tucson, Arizona. The study area for the Tucson Urban Corridor Study is bounded by 22nd Street to the south; Campbell Avenue to the east; Grant Road to the north; and Grande Avenue to the west. Most of the study area is densely developed with a mixture of urban land uses and includes the University of Arizona main and medical campuses, Main Gate retail area, Fourth Avenue retail area, downtown Tucson and the emerging Rio Nuevo area. Although not a part of the formal AA/ EIS process for the corridor study, results and recommendations will be coordinated with the Pima Association of Government’s effort to prepare a multi-modal comprehensive transportation plan identifying opportunities for future transportation connections throughout the Tucson metropolitan area. The City of Tucson will perform conceptual engineering for transit alternatives within the Tucson Urban Corridor for the AA/DEIS that satisfies NEPA requirements. In addition, a financial plan will be developed that examines alternative funding sources. II. Purpose and Need The Tucson Urban Corridor area is a major employment and activity center. The study corridor continues to experience significant growth in population and jobs. The city’s largest activity center, the University of Arizona, is included in the study area and attracts over 50,000 trips daily and whose master plan includes significant expansion while holding parking to a constant 2004 level. The University is a land locked urban campus whose primary mode of access in the future will need to be transit. Along with this growth, traffic congestion and capacity deficiencies are expected to increase. Roadway capacity options would be difficult given the urban nature of the area and the magnitude of historic structures and neighborhoods in the study area. Inadequate transit service has hampered access to this area and to other study area destinations. A major transit investment is recognized as a feasible alternative to providing additional capacity within this area. The project is included in the PAG 2025 RTP as an unfunded project. Funding would be considered as part of a proposed 2006 RTP financing proposal. E:\FR\FM\19JAN1.SGM 19JAN1
