The EIS will take into account both short-term construction-related impacts and long-term impacts associated with operation of the transit system. The EIS will identify measures to avoid or mitigate adverse environmental and community impacts. To ensure that all significant issues related to this proposed action are identified and addressed, comments and suggestions are invited from all interested parties on the impact areas to be studied and the methodologies. Comments and questions should be directed to KCATA as noted in the ADDRESSES section above. V. FTA Procedures KCATA is seeking FTA financial assistance provided by 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) § 5309 to construct the proposed project and will, therefore, be subject to the regulation at 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 611 related to such New Starts projects. The New Starts regulation requires that an Alternatives Analysis be conducted to support a local decision on the preferred alternative that is then incorporated into the official metropolitan transportation plan adopted by MARC. KCATA and FTA propose to perform the Alternatives Analysis (AA) and preparation of the draft EIS together and produce an AA/DEIS document. The AA/DEIS will be distributed for public and agency review and a public hearing will be held. KCATA and MARC will select a locally preferred alternative based on the AA/DEIS and the public and agency comments received. Following selection of the locally preferred alternative and its adoption by MARC into the transportation plan, KCATA will seek FTA approval to initiate preliminary engineering (PE) of that alternative. The NEPA review will be completed during PE with publication of the final EIS. The EIS will be prepared in accordance with the NEPA implementing regulations issued by the Council on Environmental Quality (40 CFR parts 1500–1508) and with the FTA/Federal Highway Administration regulations ‘‘Environmental Impact and Related Procedures’’ (23 CFR part 771). In accordance with 23 CFR 771.105(a) and 771.133, KCATA and FTA will comply with all Federal environmental laws, regulations, and executive orders VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:49 Jan 29, 2008 Jkt 214001 applicable to the proposed project to the maximum extent possible during the environmental review process. These requirements include, but are not limited to, the environmental and public hearing provisions of Federal transit laws (49 U.S.C. 5323(b) and 5324(b)); the project-level air quality conformity regulation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (40 CFR part 93); the section 404(b)(1) guidelines of EPA (40 CFR part 230); the regulation implementing section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (36 CFR part 800); the regulation implementing section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (50 CFR part 402); section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act (23 CFR 771.135); and Executive Orders 12898 on environmental justice, 11988 on floodplain management, and 11990 on protection of wetlands.
