Administration (FAA) for proposed

capacity enhancements and other
improvements (Proposed Action) at
Charlotte Douglas International Airport,
Charlotte, NC.
The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces that it
has discontinued preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for proposed capacity enhancements
and other improvements (Proposed
Action) at Charlotte Douglas
International Airport (CLT), Charlotte,
NC. The Proposed Action initially
presented to the FAA entailed: (1) A
Fourth 12,000-foot Parallel Runway 1–
19 and End-Around Taxiways; (2)
Concourse B and Ramp Expansion; (3)
Concourse C and Ramp Expansion; and
(4) Daily North Parking Deck. Based on
developments during the National
Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C.
4321 et seq. (NEPA), review process, the
project now subject to environmental
review includes a fourth parallel
runway of only 10,000 feet. The FAA
determined that this was a sufficient
change to one of the proposed capacity
enhancements, as described in greater
detail below in the Supplementary
Information section of this Notice, to
warrant cancellation of the EIS and
conversion to an Environmental
Assessment (EA).
DATES: Cancellation of this EIS is
immediate.
ADDRESSES: Mail all comments,
statements, or questions concerning this
notice to: Mr. Tommy L. Dupree,
Assistant Manager, Memphis Airports
District Office, 2600 Thousand Oaks
Blvd., Suite 2250, Memphis, TN 38118.
You may also send comments to
CLTEIS@faa.gov.
In addition, one copy of any comment
submitted to the FAA should be mailed
or delivered to Mr. Jack Christine, Chief
Operating Officer, City of Charlotte
Aviation Department, 5601 Wilkinson
Boulevard, Charlotte, NC 28208.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
22, 2018, the FAA published in the
Federal Register a Notice of Intent (NOI)
to prepare an EIS and to conduct public
and agency scoping meetings (Volume
83, Number 05583, FR 12369–12640).
The FAA held two governmental agency
scoping meetings for Federal, state, and
local regulatory agencies in Raleigh, NC,
on April 24, 2018 and Charlotte, NC, on
April 25, 2018, in addition to two public
scoping meetings for the general public
in Charlotte, NC, on April 24 and 26,
2018. FAA issued a Notice to Proceed
for the EIS April 24, 2017.
In October 2018, FAA conducted an
EIS runway length analysis for the
proposed 12,000-foot runway, and the

27FEN1
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 39 / Wednesday, February 27, 2019 / Notices
analysis determined that only a 10,000foot runway was required to meet the
purpose and need. The analysis was
coordinated with the City of Charlotte
and its airline tenants. Given this
change to a major element of the
sponsor’s Proposed Action, the FAA
began a process of reevaluating the
appropriate level of environmental
documentation for compliance with
NEPA, the Council on Environmental
Quality Regulations for Implementing
the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40
Code of Federal Regulations parts 1500–
1508), FAA Order 1050.1F,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures, and FAA Order 5050.4B,
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) Implementing Instructions for
Airport Actions. This evaluation
focused on likely changes to
environmental impacts anticipated to
occur as a result of the runway length
change.
In determining the appropriate level
of environmental review going forward,
the sponsor, at the request of the FAA,
has performed a preliminary noise
analysis of the revised Proposed Action.
In addition, the FAA has evaluated
potential changes in other anticipated
environmental impact categories. The
FAA has also considered potential
mitigation for such impacts. In light of
this review, the FAA anticipates that
compliance with NEPA can adequately
be achieved by preparation of an EA.
The City of Charlotte will be responsible
for the development of the EA in
accordance with NEPA, all applicable
federal regulations, and FAA guidance.
In addition, the FAA will work with the
City of Charlotte to ensure an
appropriate level of public involvement
is provided as part of the EA process.
Once completed, the City will forward
the environmental document to the
FAA. The FAA remains the responsible
Federal agency for compliance with the
requirements of NEPA. In this capacity,
FAA will make its own independent
evaluation of the environmental issues
and take responsibility for the scope and
content of the EA. The FAA also will
make a final decision on whether it can
issue a satisfactory environmental
finding based upon the EA. The FAA
will thereafter determine whether it may
take the federal actions necessary to
allow implementation of the project. All
questions concerning the development,
commencement, and public notices
related to the EA, should be directed to
The City of Charlotte Aviation
Department, Mr. Jack Christine, Chief
Operating Officer, 5601 Wilkinson
Boulevard, Charlotte, NC 28208.

Action and the NEPA process is
