SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA as lead agency, along with the 
United States Air Force, as a cooperating agency on behalf of the 
United States Air Force and the National Guard Bureau, have completed 
and are publishing a Record of Decision (ROD) for proposed improvements

National Environmental Policy Act of 1969; the Council of Environmental 
Quality implementing regulations, 40 CFR parts 1500-1508, FAA Order

environmental impacts of the Airfield Safety Enhancement Project 
(ASEP), as well as the No Action Alternative where the FAA would make 
no improvements at TUS.
    In the Final EIS, the FAA identified the ASEP as the preferred 
alternative in meeting the purpose and need for enhancement of safety 
at TUS. The ASEP includes relocation of Runway 11R/29L (proposed to be 
10,996 feet long by 150 feet wide); the demolition of the existing 
Runway 11R/29L; the construction of a new center parallel and 
connecting taxiway system; acquisition of land for the runway object-
free area, runway safety area, and the runway protection zone from Air

land, on behalf of the National Guard Bureau, for construction of a
