FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Notice is hereby given that the FAA has elected to ‘‘Categorically Exclude from further environmental review’’ the proposed procedures as follows: GIBBZ (RNAV) STAR, DOCCS STAR, RNLDI (RNAV) SID (previously named BLUES ONE (RNAV) SID) and BUNZZ ONE (RNAV) SID. Project: Publish GIBBZ (RNAV) STAR, DOCCS STAR, RNLDI (RNAV) SID (previously named BLUES ONE (RNAV) SID) and BUNZZ ONE (RNAV) SID. Location: Washington Dulles International Airport. This project consists of publishing procedures identified as the GIBBZ (RNAV) STAR, DOCCS STAR, RNLDI (RNAV) SID (previously named BLUES ONE (RNAV) SID) and BUNZZ ONE (RNAV) SID. On June 4, 2012, the BLUES (RNAV) SID was renamed to the RNLDI RNAV SID. RNAV facilitates more efficient design of airspace and procedures which collectively result in improved safety, access, predictability, and operational efficiency. Improved access and flexibility for point-to-point operations help enhance reliability and reduce delays by defining more precise terminal area procedures. The review process indicated that the proposed project will not adversely impact the environment.

Categorical Exclusion From Further Environmental Review for 
Standard Terminal Arrival Route Procedures for Ronald Reagan Washington 
National Airport

AGENCY: Air Traffic Procedures Advisory Committee. Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public of its 
environmental review of two standard terminal arrival route (STAR) 
procedures, and one conventional arrival procedure, at Ronald Reagan 
Washington National Airport (DCA). As required by the National 
Environmental Policy Act, an evaluation has been performed on the three 
proposed procedures to determine the level of environmental review 
warranted. The FAA has elected to ``Categorically Exclude from further 
environmental review'' the three proposed arrival procedures identified 
as FRDMM1 (RNAV), TRUPS1 (RNAV) and NUMMY.

DATES: Effective upon publication. A Categorical Exclusion (Cat Ex) 
from environmental review does not require a formal public hearing or a 
formal public comment period prior to the Cat Ex becoming effective.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Lee Kyker, Environmental 
Specialist, Air Traffic Eastern Service Center, Operations Support 
Group, 1701 Columbia Ave., College Park, GA 30337.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the FAA has 
elected to ``Categorically Exclude from further environmental review'' 
the proposed arrival procedures as follows: FRDMM1 (RNAV), TRUPS1 
(RNAV), and NUMMY.
    Project: Publish FRDMM1 (RNAV), TRUPS1 (RNAV), and NUMMY.
    Location: Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).
    This project consists of publishing RNAV arrival procedures 
identified as the FRDMM1 (RNAV) and the TRUPS1 (RNAV) and publishing 
the NUMMY conventional arrival procedure. RNAV facilitates more 
efficient design of airspace and procedures which collectively result 
in improved safety, access, predictability, and operational efficiency. 
Improved access and flexibility for point-to-point operations help 
enhance reliability and reduce delays by defining more precise terminal 
area procedures. The NUMMY is a conventional arrival procedure which 
accommodates the non-RNAV aircraft into the DC Metro area from the 
west. The review process indicated that the proposed project will not 
adversely impact the environment. Consequently, the FAA has elected to 
``Categorically Exclude from further environmental review'' the 
proposed procedures, based upon compliance with FAA Order 1050.1E, 
Sec.  311(i).
