recommendations to the aviation
community and individual aircraft
owners/operators on ways to improve
products. They may include requests for
reporting of results from requested
actions/inspections.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by April 9, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA
at the following address: Barbara Hall,
Federal Aviation Administration, ASP–
110, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort
Worth, TX 76177.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information collection; and (d)

Background: A special airworthiness
information bulletin (SAIB) is an
important tool that helps the FAA to
gather information to determine
whether an airworthiness directive is
necessary. An SAIB alerts, educates, and
make recommendations to the aviation
community and individual aircraft
owners and operators about ways to
improve the safety of a product. It
contains non-regulatory information and
guidance that is advisory and may
include recommended actions or
inspections with a request for voluntary
reporting of inspection results.
Respondents: Approximately 1,120
owners/operators.

Act of 1980 (ANILCA) for certain
projects. The FHWA is extending the
date to accommodate a potential shift in
the preferred alternative and to
determine with the Department of the
Interior how a 2017 commitment to
undertake a land exchange in the project
area would affect the decision making
process. The delay is agreeable to the
applicant (Alaska Department of
Transportation and Public Facilities)
and other involved Federal agencies.
DATES: The publication of a final
environmental impact statement for the
Sterling Highway MP 45–60 Project is
extended to March 13, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Applicant’s project website:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Alaska Department of Transportation
and Public Facilities (DOT&PF)
proposes to upgrade and partially
realign the Sterling Highway (AK–1)
over about 14 miles in the vicinity of
Cooper Landing, in the Kenai Peninsula
Borough, Alaska. The Sterling Highway
Milepost 45–60 Project, in part, would
use Federal funding administered by the
FHWA. The FHWA and DOT&PF issued
a draft supplemental environmental
impact statement (EIS) for the project in
March 2015. The EIS was a
supplemental EIS because FHWA had
issued a draft EIS in 1994 for a 23-mile
stretch of the Sterling Highway and had
issued authorization following the 1994
draft EIS to split the project into two
parts, each with independent utility. A
decision in 1995 authorized design and
construction of the Milepost 37–45
portion (completed in 2001) and
development of a supplemental EIS for
the Milepost 45–60 portion.
Some alternatives evaluated in the
current EIS would cross lands classified
as conservation system units (CSUs) by
the ANILCA. Title XI of ANILCA
requires special procedures for
completion of an EIS under the National
Environmental Policy Act if a
transportation project will cross a CSU.
The ANILCA Section 1104(e) [16 U.S.C.
3164(e)] describes procedural
requirements, including a requirement
that the project’s final EIS shall be
completed within 1 year of submittal of
a form applying to cross a CSU. The
procedural requirements allow the lead
Federal agency to extend the time
period for good cause if a notice is
published in the Federal Register to
explain the reasons for the extension.
For ANILCA requirements, the
involved Federal agencies are FHWA
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
(Department of Transportation); Forest
Service (Department of Agriculture);
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Department of the Interior); and Corps
of Engineers (Department of the Army).
These agencies have long been
cooperating agencies and have been
working in good faith to produce the
EIS.
Under ANILCA Title XI, FHWA and
the other involved Federal agencies
consider the Kenai National Wildlife
Refuge and the Resurrection Pass
National Recreation Trail on Chugach
National Forest to be CSUs. Two
alternatives would use land from these
CSUs, and two alternatives would not
use land from any CSUs. DOT&PF filed
the required Federal form, Standard
Form 299, as an application for crossing
the CSUs. The filing date was March 13,
2015. At that time, neither DOT&PF nor
FHWA had identified a preferred
alternative, so the application was made
in general, because two alternatives
would involve CSUs. In December 2015,
DOT&PF and FHWA agreed that the G
South Alternative was the preferred
alternative and released this information
to the public. The FHWA issued a letter
dated December 9, 2016, to cooperating
agencies stating that the preferred
alternative would not cross any CSU
and that no decision under ANILCA
Title XI would be required.
Consideration of the timelines under
ANILCA Title XI was put aside.
However, based on public and agency
comment following publication of the
Draft Supplemental EIS and the
announcement of the preferred
alternative, and based on input from
cooperating agencies during preparation
of the Final EIS, FHWA and DOT&PF
have been reconsidering the preferred
alternative. New information also affects
identification of the preferred
alternative. Therefore, the involved
Federal agencies and DOT&PF as the
applicant are in agreement that it is in
the best interest of good decisionmaking for this project to extend the
timeline given in ANILCA.
Specifically, FHWA is extending the
timeline for publishing the Final EIS to
March 13, 2018. The FHWA and the
other involved Federal agencies expect
to publish the Final EIS within that time
and to issue their individual decisions
regarding permits and authorizations in
accordance with ANILCA following the
Final EIS publication. The actual
issuance of a permit or right-of-way, or
actual transfer of funds, is expected to
occur as promptly as possible following
these decisions, per ANILCA sections
1106(a)(1)(A) and 1106(c)(6).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Alaska Department of Transportation and
Public Facilities (DOT&PF) proposes to upgrade and partially realign
the Sterling Highway (AK-1) over about 14 miles in the vicinity of
Cooper Landing, in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. The Sterling
Highway Milepost 45-60 Project, in part, would use Federal funding
administered by the FHWA. The FHWA and DOT&PF issued a draft
supplemental environmental impact statement (EIS) for the project in
March 2015. The EIS was a supplemental EIS because FHWA had issued a
draft EIS in 1994 for a 23-mile stretch of the Sterling Highway and had
issued authorization following the 1994 draft EIS to split the project
into two parts, each with independent utility. A decision in 1995
authorized design and construction of the Milepost 37-45 portion
(completed in 2001) and development of a supplemental EIS for the
Milepost 45-60 portion.
Some alternatives evaluated in the current EIS would cross lands
classified as conservation system units (CSUs) by the ANILCA. Title XI
of ANILCA requires special procedures for completion of an EIS under
the National Environmental Policy Act if a transportation project will
cross a CSU. The ANILCA Section 1104(e) [16 U.S.C. 3164(e)] describes
procedural requirements, including a requirement that the project's
final EIS shall be completed within 1 year of submittal of a form
applying to cross a CSU. The procedural requirements allow the lead
Federal agency to extend the time period for good cause if a notice is
published in the Federal Register to explain the reasons for the
extension.
For ANILCA requirements, the involved Federal agencies are FHWA
(Department of Transportation); Forest Service (Department of
Agriculture); U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Department of the
Interior); and Corps of Engineers (Department of the Army). These
agencies have long been cooperating agencies and have been working in
good faith to produce the EIS.
Under ANILCA Title XI, FHWA and the other involved Federal agencies
consider the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and the Resurrection Pass
National Recreation Trail on Chugach National Forest to be CSUs. Two
alternatives would use land from these CSUs, and two alternatives would
not use land from any CSUs. DOT&PF filed the required Federal form,
Standard Form 299, as an application for crossing the CSUs. The filing
date was March 13, 2015. At that time, neither DOT&PF nor FHWA had

DOT&PF and FHWA agreed that the G South Alternative was the preferred

that the preferred alternative would not cross any CSU and that no
decision under ANILCA Title XI would be required. Consideration of the
