Airport. To ensure that all significant
issues related to the proposed action are
identified, one (1) public scoping
meeting and one (1) governmental
agency scoping meeting will be held.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Michelle Simmons, Environmental
Protection Specialist, Federal Aviation
Administration, Western-Pacific Region,
Airports Division, P.O. Box 92007, Los
Angeles, California 90009–2007.
Telephone: (310) 725–3614. Any
scoping comments and suggestions
regarding the EIS must be submitted to
the address above and must be received
no later than 5 p.m. Pacific Standard
Time, December 15, 2005.
The
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
will prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for addressing specific
improvements at Tucson International
Airport. The (EIS) will be prepared in
accordance with the procedures
described in FAA Order 5050.4A,
Airport Environmental Handbook, and
FAA Order 1050.1E, Environment
Impacts: Policies and Procedures. The
Tucson Airport Authority, the owner of
Tucson International Airport proposes
the following development as identified
in the 2004 Tucson International
Airport Master Plan: Relocate Runway
11R/29L, 450 feet to the southwest,
creating a centerline to centerline
separation of 1,156 feet between the
existing Runway 11L29R and the
relocated Runway 11R/29L. The length
of the relocated Runway 11R/29L will
be 11,000 feet long by 150 feet wide.
The development will also include the
extension of existing Taxiways A–6 and
A–17, and provisions for acute angled
‘‘high speed’’ exits at Taxiways A–11,
A–13, and A–15; addition of new
Taxiways A–16 and A–18; extension of
Taxiway B, (which is currently marked
as 11R/29L); relocation of the airport
service road to accommodate the
proposed runway relocation; and
installation of an Instrument Landing
System (ILS) in conjunction with the
relocated runway, including a Medium
Intensity Approach Lighting System
with Runway Alignment Indicator
Lights (MALSR) in both directions. The
Airport Master Plan Update identified
the need to provide additional airfield
capacity at the Airport to meet the
projected levels of operational and
passenger demand. Within the EIS, FAA
proposed to consider a range of
alternatives that could potentially meet
the need for additional airport capacity
in the Tucson metropolitan area
including, but not limited to, the
following:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
E:\FR\FM\13OCN1.SGM
13OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 197 / Thursday, October 13, 2005 / Notices
Alternative One—Sponsor’s Proposed
Action: Relocate Runway 11R/29L, 450
feet to the southwest, creating a
centerline separation of 1,156 feet
between the existing Runway 11L/29R
and the relocated Runway 11R/29L. The
relocated Runway 11R/29L will be
11,000 feet long by 150 feet wide. The
relocation of Runway 11R/29L will
include construction of a parallel and
connecting taxiway system, and
associated navigational aids.
Alternative Two—Alternative Airfield
Development at Tucson: Extending and
upgrading the current general aviation
Runway 11R/29L to an air carrier
runway, maintaining a 700-foot
centerline separation between the
current air carrier Runway 11L/29R and
the extended and upgraded runway
11R/29L, and
Alternative 3—Relocating and
upgrading the general aviation Runway
11R/29L, to an air carrier runway, 2,500
feet south of Runway 11L/29R and
converting the current runway 11R/29L
to a parallel taxiway that would serve
both runways, and
Alternative 4—Relocating and
upgrading the general aviation Runway
11R/29L to an air carrier runway, 1,156
feet south of Runway 11L/29R, and
converting the runway to a parallel
taxiway that would serve both runways.
This alternative incorporates a localizer
directional aide (LDA) approach.
These airfield development
alternatives identified under Alternative
2, 3 and four would likely include
several of the support features of
Alternative One, including taxiway
improvements and associated
navigational aids. The specific details of
the alternative airfield development at
Tucson International Airport will be
refined following the scoping process
during the preparation of the EIS.
Alternative Five—Use of Other
Existing Airports: The possible use of
other existing area airports including,
but not limited to, Ryan Airfield and
Marana Regional Airport will be
evaluated.
Alternative Six—Use of Other Modes
of Transportation: Use of intercity bus
line, rail, and automobile transportation
will be evaluated.
Alternative Seven—No Action
Alternative: Under this alternative, the
existing airport would remain
unchanged. Runway 11R/29L would
remain in its current configuration.
Comments and suggestions are invited
from Federal, State and local agencies,
and other interested parties to ensure
that the full range of issues related to
these proposed projects are addressed
and all significant issues are identified.
Written comments and suggestions may

received no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific
Standard Time, December 15, 2005.
Scoping Meetings: The FAA will hold
one (1) public and one (1) governmental
agency scoping meeting to solicit input
from the public and various Federal,
State and local agencies having
jurisdiction or having specific expertise
with respect to any environmental
impacts associated with the proposed
projects. The public scoping meeting
will be held on Tuesday, November 15,
2005, in the Tucson Airport Authority
Boardroom at 7005 South Plumer
Avenue, Tucson, Arizona 85706. The
meeting will be held from 4 p.m. to 7

ACTION: Notice of availability for
proposed policy statement; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces the
availability of proposed policy for the
repair and alteration of rotating turbine
engine-life limited parts (RTE–LLPs).
This proposed policy establishes that
the FAA will treat all repairs and
alterations of RTE–LLPs as major repairs
and major alterations. We are also
proposing that all RTE–LLP repair and
alteration data must include a
methodology to assess the life of the
repaired or altered part and the
continued operational safety of the
repaired product. This proposed policy
provides guidance for: (1) Technical
substantiation for repair or alteration of
RTE–LLPs; and (2) Aircraft Certification
Offices (ACOs) and Designated
Engineering Representatives to evaluate
and approve repair and alteration data.

subject of the proposed policy and be
submitted to the individual identified
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT. The FAA will consider all
comments received by the closing date
before issuing the final policy.
We will file in the docket all
comments received, as well as a report
summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerning
this proposed policy. The docket is
available for public inspection before
and after the comment date. If you wish
to review the docket in person, go to the
above address between 9 a.m. and 5
p.m., Monday through Friday, except

Background: During the past year, we
reviewed the technical data for
numerous RTE–LLP repairs. We
observed deficiencies in the data for
many of these repairs. We also noted
that may repairs were improperly
assessed as minor and were not properly
coordinated with the appropriate ACOs.
This proposed policy would provide
guidance on the coordination and the
technical data needed for RTE–LLP
repairs and alterations.
