Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation Compliance Costs Policy; Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation Mitigation Policy, 26270 [2010-11031]

Download as PDF 26270 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 90 / Tuesday, May 11, 2010 / Notices Order 13407, the IPAWS Program goal is to identify, develop, and/or adopt appropriate standards to enable implementation of interoperable public alert and warning systems, to identify technologies and standards that improve security, reliability, addressability, accessibility, interoperability, coverage, and resilience of the public alert and warning systems, and to integrate these capabilities via a common IPAWS Aggregator. Certain construction-related actions may be taken, such as modification of existing transmitter structures to current code and standards, trenching for utility lines, removal of existing underground or above ground fuel storage tanks and the placement of above-ground fuel storage tanks of increased capacity, placement of generators, placement of pre-cast concrete shelter modules, and fencing, to meet the IPAWS Program goal. The PEA provides the public and decision-makers with the information required to understand and evaluate the potential environmental consequences of actions funded by FEMA. In addition to meeting the goals of impact identification and disclosure, the PEA addresses the need to streamline the NEPA review process in the interest of national preparedness and homeland security. The analysis presented in the PEA relies on FEMA’s experience regarding environmental impacts that can be expected with actions that would be undertaken through IPAWS. FEMA will consider the analysis in the PEA to determine whether a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) or a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement is appropriate for the proposed actions described and assessed in the PEA. The PEA will also assist in determining when more site-specific information is needed and what level of environmental analysis and documentation is required in order for more complex projects to comply with NEPA. emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES Authority: National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4331 et seq.; 40 CFR part 1500; 44 CFR part 10.
