ACTION: Notice of record of decision. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is issuing this notice to advise the public that it has issued a Record of Decision (ROD) for the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that evaluated proposed New Runways and Associated Development at Washington Dulles International Airport, Chantilly, VA. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has completed and issued its Record of Decision (ROD) for proposed New Runways and Associated Development at Washington Dulles International Airport, Chantilly, VA. FAA had published its Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) containing a Final Air Quality General Conformity Determination (FGCD), (Preliminary) Final Section 106 Historic Resources Report and a Virginia Coastal Zone Consistency Determination on August 11, 2005. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) was a cooperating Federal agency, having jurisdiction by law because the proposed project has the potential for significant wetland impacts. The FEIS presented the purpose and need for the proposed project, a comprehensive analysis of the alternatives to the proposed project, including the No-Action Alternative and potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed development of two new air carrier runways and related improvements at IAD. The FEIS also identified the FAA’s Preferred Alternative (Build Alternative 3) and described the proposed Mitigation Program for the Preferred Alternative that will be implemented by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) to off-set unavoidable environmental impacts. In accordance with section 176(c) of the Federal Clean Air Act, FAA has assessed whether the air emissions that would result from FAA’s action in approving the proposed projects conform to the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The results of this assessment indicated that the Preferred Alternative has demonstrated E:\FR\FM\20OCN1.SGM 20OCN1 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 202 / Thursday, October 20, 2005 / Notices conformity with the SIP. This assessment is contained in the Final Air Quality General Conformity Determination in Appendix G–5 of the FEIS. Pursuant to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, including Executive Order 11593, Protection and Enhancement of the Cultural Environment, FAA assessed whether its action in approving the proposed project would result in adverse impacts to Historic and Archaeological Resources. The results of this assessment indicated that the Preferred Alternative would result in impacts to resources that are listed in, and eligible for, listing in the National Register of Historic Places. FAA has consulted with the Virginia State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) concerning the effects assessment and has executed a project specific Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that identifies treatment of the affected resources. The executed MOA is contained in Appendix B of the ROD. In accordance with the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended, the Preferred Alternative was evaluated for consistency with the Virginia Coastal Program. FAA’s evaluation determined that the Preferred Alternative is consistent with the Virginia Coastal Zone Program. The Federal Consistency Determination is contained in Appendix C–3 of the FEIS. In accordance with Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management and Order DOT 5650.2, Floodplain Management and Protection, FAA evaluated whether the Preferred Alternative would impact base floodplain based on a 100-year flood. The results of this assessment indicated that the Preferred Alternative would result in unavoidable impacts to the base floodplain and that all available measures to minimize harm will be included in the project design. FAA’s analysis has also determined that the base floodplain encroachment with the proposed mitigation does not constitute a ‘‘significant’’ encroachment. Measures to mitigate base floodplain impact are included in the FEIS. The public was informed of the base floodplain encroachment through FAA’s ongoing Public Involvement Program. Copies of the ROD are available for review by appointment only at the following FAA/MWAA Offices.

Dulles International Airport, Chantilly, VA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
has completed and issued its Record of Decision (ROD) for proposed New 
Runways and Associated Development at Washington Dulles International 
Airport, Chantilly, VA. FAA had published its Final Environmental 
Impact Statement (FEIS) containing a Final Air Quality General 
Conformity Determination (FGCD), (Preliminary) Final Section 106 
Historic Resources Report and a Virginia Coastal Zone Consistency 
Determination on August 11, 2005. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 
(USACE) was a cooperating Federal agency, having jurisdiction by law 
because the proposed project has the potential for significant wetland 
impacts.
    The FEIS presented the purpose and need for the proposed project, a

Preferred Alternative (Build Alternative 3) and described the proposed 
Mitigation Program for the Preferred Alternative that will be 
implemented by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) to 
off-set unavoidable environmental impacts.
    In accordance with section 176(c) of the Federal Clean Air Act, FAA 
has assessed whether the air emissions that would result from FAA's 
action in approving the proposed projects conform to the State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). The results of this assessment indicated
