SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
invites public comment on the request
to release property at the Billings Logan

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2).
On May 14, 2008, the FAA
determined that the request to release
property at Billings Logan International
Airport submitted by the airport meets
the procedural requirements of the
Federal Aviation Administration and
the release of the property does not and
will not impact future aviation needs at
the airport. The FAA may approve the
request, in whole or in part, no later
than July 2, 2008.
The following is a brief overview of
the request:
Billings Logan International Airport is
proposing the release of approximately
8.63 acres of airport property defined as
follows:
Parcel 6–3.10 acres. C.O.S. 1805.
Tract 2–2.72 acres. C.O.S. 2334 TR. 2.
Tract 1A–.32 acres. C.O.S. 678 TR 1.
Parcel 2B–.17 acres. Black Otter Sub.
C.O.S. 1434.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 106 / Monday, June 2, 2008 / Notices
Parcel 2A–2.32 acres. Black Otter Sub.
The land requested by the Montana
Department of Transportation (MDOT)
will be used as Right of Way for the
MDOT’s Airport Road project which
will replace the existing two-lane
roadway with a four-lane roadway from
the intersection of State Secondary
Highway 318 and Main Street in the
Billings Heights to the airport entrance
intersection at 27th Street. The project
also includes the construction of two
new intersections: At Alkali Creek and
State Secondary Highway 318 and the
intersection at North 27th and Highway
3. This project will enhance the route
for large truck traffic for the ‘‘Camino
Real,’’ a north-south trade route
connecting Canada, the U.S. and Mexico
via 1–25, 1–90, 1–15, U.S. 87 and MT
3 which runs adjacent to the airport’s
southern property line, subsequently
increasing the capacity of the vehicle
traffic coming to the airport and the
safety of those using the airport’s
entrance.
The transfer of land is necessary to
comply with Federal Aviation
Administration Grant Assurances that
do not allow federally acquired airport
property to be used for non-aviation
purposes. The property is being
exchanged in-kind for monetary
consideration equivalent to the
appraised value of similar property in
the area of the airport. All costs
associated with the exchange will be
borne by the Montana Department of
Transportation (MDOT).
Any person may inspect, by
appointment, the request in person at
the FAA office listed above under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
In addition, any person may, upon
appointment and request, inspect the
application, notice and other documents
germane to the application in person at
the Billings Logan International Airport.
Issued in Helena, Montana on May 15,
2008.

Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement: Travis County, TX
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Intent.
AGENCY:
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
SUMMARY: Pursuant to 40 CFR 1508.22
and 43 TAC § 2.5(e) (2), the FHWA and
Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) are issuing this notice to
advise the public that a limited scope
supplemental environmental impact
statement (SEIS) will be prepared for a
transportation project in Travis County,
Texas.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Salvador Deocampo, District Engineer,
District A, Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), Texas
Division, 300 East 8th Street, Rm 826,
Austin, Texas 78701, Telephone 512–
536–5950.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA in cooperation with TxDOT will
prepare a limited scope SETS for the
proposed improvement of State
Highway (SH) 71 from Riverside Drive
to SH 130, in Travis County, Texas. The
project length is approximately 6.5
miles. The improvements proposed
between Riverside Drive and Farm-toMarket Road (FM) 973 were originally
considered in a Final Environmental
Impact Statement (FEIS) covering
improvements to SH 71/US 290 from
Ranch-to-Market Road (RM) 1826 to FM
973. A Record of Decision (ROD) was
issued by FHWA on August 22, 1988.
The mid-section of the original project
limits, between Joe Tanner Lane and
Riverside Drive, has been constructed.
Since the issuance of the SH 71/US 290
ROD, changes in adjacent land use, the
construction of SH 130, and proposed
design modifications have resulted in
the need to supplement the original
FEIS to evaluate the change in potential
impacts from the proposed project. As a
result, the unconstructed eastern
portion of the original FEIS, between
Riverside Drive and FM 973, will be the
subject of a limited scope SEIS. Due to
the proximity of intersections on SH 71
at FM 973 and at the recently
constructed SH 130, the SH 71/US 290
SEIS would extend beyond the limits of
the original FEIS to include the new
interchange at SH 130 to provide for a
more logical terminus and transition
back to existing SH 71 east of SH 130.
Information from the FEIS and
subsequent ROD (June 5, 2001) for SH
130 from IH 35 north of Georgetown to
IH 10 near Seguin will be incorporated
into the subject SEIS.
The project is listed in the Capital
Area Metro Planning Organization
(CAMPO) Mobility 2030 Plan, as
amended, (the long-range transportation
plan) as a six-lane tolled freeway
between Riverside Drive and Spirit of
Texas Drive. From Presidential Avenue
to SH 130, the project is listed as a sixlane freeway but is being considered for
PO 00000

tolling. The need for the proposed
project, as stated in the 1988 FEIS,
stems from congestion and low travel
speeds caused by rapid population
growth in the Austin metropolitan area.
Crash data have also indicated safety
concerns as a primary need for this
project. Additionally, the economic
growth of the SH 71/US 290 corridor is
dependent on the ability of the roadway
network to accommodate both local
trips created by recent nearby
development as well as regional through
traffic. In order to address these needs,
the purpose of the proposed project is
to increase traffic flow capacities and
improve mobility in the roadway
corridor while enhancing safety and
system interconnectivity, in compliance
with the adopted GAMPO Mobility 2030
Plan.
The SEIS will evaluate potential
impacts from construction and
operation of the proposed roadway
including, but not limited to, the
following: Transportation impacts
(construction detours, construction
traffic, and mobility improvement), air
quality and noise impacts from
construction equipment and operation
of the facilities, water quality impacts
from construction area and roadway
storm water runoff, impacts to waters of
the United States including wetlands
from right-of-way encroachment
Impacts to histonc and archeological
resources impacts to floodplains, and
impacts and/or displacements to
residents and businesses, land use,
vegetation, wildlife, aesthetic and visual
resources, socioeconomic resources, and
cumulative and indirect impacts.
Public involvement is a critical
component of the project development
process and will occur throughout the
planning and study phases.
Opportunities for public involvement
exist during public meetings and public
review of the draft SEIS. A public
meeting will be held on Tuesday June
24, 2008 at 6 p.m. at the Del Valle High
School located at 5201 Ross Road, Del
Valle, Texas 78671.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to
the appropriate Federal, State, and local
agencies, and private organizations and
citizens who have previously expressed
or are known to have interest in this
proposal. To ensure that the full range
of issues related to this proposed action
is addressed and all significant issues
are identified, comments and
suggestions are invited from all
interested parties. Comments or
questions concerning this proposed
action and the SEIS should be directed
to FHWA at the address above.
