Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 242 / Monday, December 19, 2005 / Notices
removing the icing-related guidance
from AC 25–7A because that material is
addressed by the NPRM Notice No. 05–
10, ‘‘Airplane Performance and
Handling Qualities In Icing Conditions’’
and proposed AC 25.21–1X,
‘‘Performance And Handling
Characteristics In The Icing Conditions
Specified In part 25, Appendix C.’’
Since publication of that notice, the
FAA has received a request that the
comment period for the notice be
extended past its original closing date of
January 3, 2006, to allow more time in
which to study the proposal and to
prepare comments on this very
important issue.
Extension of Comment Period
The FAA has reviewed the request for
consideration of an additional amount
of time to comment on proposed AC
25.21–1X, and has determined that
extending the comment period would be
in the public interest and that good
cause exists for taking this action.
Accordingly, the comment period of
Notice of availability of proposed AC
25.21–1X, and request for comments, is
extended until February 2, 2006.
Issued in Renton, Washington, on
December 9, 2005.

for the proposed project to construct a
fourth bore to the Caldecott Tunnel
between State Route 24/Broadway

24/Camino Pablo interchange in the City
of Orinda in Contra Costa County,
California is being withdrawn; and an
Environmental Assessment (EA) in lieu
of an EIS is being prepared for this
proposed highway project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the
California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans), conducted studies of the
potential environmental impacts
associated with the proposed highway
project to construct a fourth bore to the
Caldecott Tunnel between Alameda and
Contra Costa Counties, California. A
NOI was published in the Federal
Register/Volume 67/No. 225/November
21, 2002. Subsequently, during the
course of conducting studies and
coordinating with regulatory and
resource agencies for this proposed
project, it was determined that the
potential environmental issues that led
to issuing the Notice of Intent were not
significant. In addition, it was
determined that changes to avoid or
minimize potential impacts identified in
early scoping can be incorporated into
the proposed project. Changes to
minimizing impacts were achieved by
eliminating alternative alignments that
had higher impacts, by reducing the
number of lanes to either two or three
lanes in lieu of four lanes thereby
reducing the tunnel footprint, and by
evaluating alignments that will not
require the acquisition of additional
right-of-way or acquisition of
recreational or historic properties
protected by section 4(f) of the
Department of Transportation Act of
1966.
The FHWA has determined that the
proposed project is not anticipated to
result in significant impacts to the
environment; that an EA would be an
appropriate environmental document
for the project; and that the Notice of
Intent for this project is being
withdrawn.
The EA will be available for public
inspection prior to the public meeting
for the proposed project. Comments or
questions concerning this proposed
project and the determination that an
EA is the appropriate environmental
document should be directed to the
FHWA or Caltrans at the addresses
provided above.
