Regional Airport for use as wetland
mitigation under the provisions of AIR
21.
The Manchester-Boston Regional
Airport has requested to release
approximately 1.0 acres of airport land
from federal obligations and to exchange
that acre with approximately 4.3 acres
of land currently owned by the Peter J.
King Irrevocable Trust of 1988. The 1.0
acres to be released was purchased by
the Airport as part of the Trolley
Crossing mitigation site for the Airport’s
previous extension of Runway 35, and
is located in the Town of Londonderry,
Rockingham County, NH. The parcel is
part of a larger property parcel currently
depicted on the Airport Layout Plan of
record as Number 64. That larger parcel
is identified as Town of Londonderry,
Rockingham County, Tax Map 14, Lot
49–1. The 1.0 acres in question is
located within the larger parcel, and is
considered ‘‘buffer’’ to the wetland
portion of the Trolley Crossing
mitigation site. The approximately 4.3
acres of land that would be exchanged
and given to the Airport from the Trust
is similar in nature and also serves as
buffer to the wetland portion of the
Trolley Crossing mitigation site. That
4.3 acre parcel is also located in the
Town of Londonderry, NH, within the
parcel identified as Tax Map 14, Lot 49.
The Airport has requested this
exchange to allow Prologis
Management, LLC, to lease and develop
approximately 48 acres of the Trust
property for a logistics center. The 1.0
acres of airport property is necessary for
the development of the center. As part
of this proposal, the Federal and State
agencies that participated in the
environmental study for the Runway 35
extension have reviewed this proposal.
All interested agencies have concurred
that there would be no adverse
environmental impacts as a result of this
land exchange and that the proposed
release and exchange of 1.0 acres for 4.3
acres of similarly situated land would
be beneficial for the Runway 35
extension mitigation site. The Airport
also completed a Real Estate Appraisal
Report for the parcels. The appraisal
was conducted in accordance with the
Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice (USPAP). The
appraisal concludes that the
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport
will receive additional value for the
land that it is acquiring in this proposed
release and exchange.

request and supporting documents by

ACTION: Rescind Notice of Intent to
prepare an EIS.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice rescinds the
Notice of Intent for preparing an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for a proposed highway in Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania. The project study
area includes SR 30 Section S01 (US 30)
corridor in East Lampeter Township,
Salisbury Township, Leacock
Township, and Paradise Township,
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The
original Notice of Intent for this EIS
process was published in the Federal
Register on January 22, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) in cooperation with the
Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) and the
Lancaster County Planning Commission
initiated an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) with a Notice of Intent,
January 22, 2002, to identify and
evaluate alternatives to address
transportation problems within the SR
30 Section S01 corridor. The proposed
project study area runs approximately
from the PA 896/U.S. 30 intersection on
the west and the PA 897/U.S. 30
intersection on the east, including the
intersection with PA 41. Notices of
Intent concerning this proposal were
previously published in the Federal
E:\FR\FM\10JYN1.SGM
10JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 132 / Thursday, July 10, 2014 / Notices
Register. The original Notice of Intent
published on February 27, 1987
described a two-phase approach to
identify and evaluate alternatives that
would provide a variable means of
relieving traffic congestion on Traffic
Route (T.R.) 23 and US 30 in Eastern
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. A
revised Notice of Intent published on
June 16, 1988 announced the separate
Environmental Impact Statements to
evaluate alternatives for the two projects
would be prepared.
Improvements for this corridor were
considered necessary to provide for the
existing and project traffic demand. A
needs study was undertaken and a range
of transportation alternatives, including
but not limited to No-Build,
Transportation Systems Management
(TSM), widening the existing three-lane
highways to five lanes, bypasses around
communities, and constructing a fourlane limited access highway on new
location were considered. These
alternatives were developed
consistently with land use strategies to
address the identified transportation
needs. The developments of alternatives
were based on traffic demands,
engineering requirements,
environmental and socioeconomic
constraints, the county’s growth
management plan, and public input.
Public involvement and inter-agency
coordination were maintained
throughout the development of the EIS.
Due to funding constraints the Notice
of Intent is rescinded.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) in cooperation with the
Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) and the
Lancaster County Planning Commission
initiated an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) with a Notice of Intent,
September 22, 1999, to identify and
evaluate alternatives to address
transportation problems within the PA
23 Sub corridor. The proposed project
would involve improvements to
transportation conditions in the PA 23
Sub corridor from the PA 23/U.S. Route
30 interchange on the west to U.S. route
322 on the east. Notices of Intent
concerning this proposal were
previously published in the Federal
Register on February 27, 1987, to advise
the public that an EIS would be
prepared to identify and evaluate
alternatives to provide a viable means of
relieving traffic congestion on PA 23
and U.S. Route 30 in Lancaster County.
Public concerns redirected the scope of
the project and a revised Notice of
Intent was published on June 16, 1988.
The intent of the second Notice was to
advise the public that separate EIS’s
would be prepared to identify and
evaluate alternatives to relieve traffic
congestion on PA 23 and U.S. Route 30
independently.
In 1997, the Lancaster County
Transportation Coordinating Committee
(Lancaster County MPO) was the lead
agency for the PA 23 Corridor Major
Investment Study (MIS), consistent with
the requirements of the Intermodal
Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of
1991. The PA 23 Corridor Study MIS
gathered various types of data which
resulted in the identification of
transportation needs and led to the
development of alternatives. Typical
areas of concern identified by various
members of the public and resource

agencies during the MIS studies
included, but were not limited to, the
following: socioeconomic and land use
impacts; the unique social sub-groups;
effects on cultural, and natural
resources; agricultural preservation;
roadway safety; business-industry;
tourism; and economic stability.
The PA 23 Corridor Study MIS
demonstrated present and future
transportation problems in the PA 23
Sub corridor from U.S. Route 30 to the
U.S. route 322 intersection east of New
Holland, a distance of approximately
21.5 km (13.4 miles). Transportation
needs in the PA 23 Sub corridor
included congestion, decreasing levels
of service, traffic diversion from PA 23
to local roads, and a mix of motorized
and non-motorized means of travel.
Improvements to the corridor were
considered necessary to provide for the
existing and projected transportation
demands.
A range of transportation alternatives,
including No-Build, Transportation
Systems Management (TSM), Traffic
Control Measures (TCM), and Travel
Demand Management (TDM), Transit
Widening and Relocation alternatives
were developed consistently with land
use strategies to address the identified
transportation needs. The developments
of alternatives were based on traffic
demands, engineering requirements,
environmental and socioeconomic
constraints, the country’s growth
management plan, and public input.
Public involvement and inter-agency
coordination were maintained
throughout the development of the EIS.
Due to funding constraints the Notice
of Intent is rescinded.
