Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 122 / Wednesday, June 24, 2020 / Notices
of the impact categories assessed in this
FONSI/ROD. Incremental effects from
implementation of the FAA’s Proposed
Action, when combined with other
actions, would result in a less than
significant cumulative impact to the
impact categories assessed in this
FONSI/ROD. Based on its independent
review of the FAA’s Proposed Action,
the FAA has determined there would be
no significant cumulative impacts as a
result of the establishment of the FAA’s
Proposed Action.
7.0
Public Involvement
NEPA
As part of the NEPA process, the Draft
EA was provided for public review from
February 25–March 11, 2020, and one
comment was received from the Bureau
of Reclamation indicating an incorrect
date of the Free Use Permit. The date
has since been corrected in the EA.
The EA was finalized in March 2020,
and the WYARNG signed its FONSI on
March 16, 2020. The FONSI is the
WYARNG’s decision to implement the
preferred alternative identified in the
EA as the Proposed Action.
8.0 Decisions and Orders
The WYARNG has requested airspace
changes in the form of the Proposed
Action; namely, to establish the
proposed CFAs.

Adoption
In accordance with FAA Order
1050.1F and CEQ regulation 40 CFR
1506.3, the FAA has conducted an
independent review and evaluation of
the WYARNG’s EA for the proposed
CFAs. Based on its independent review,
the FAA has determined that the
sections of the EA pertaining to CFAs,
and its supporting documentation, as
incorporated by reference, adequately
assess and disclose the environmental
impacts of the FAA’s Proposed Action
and that the adoption of the EA by the
FAA is authorized under 40 CFR 1506.3
and FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph
8–2.
Accordingly, the FAA adopts the
sections of the EA pertaining to the
CFAs, appendices, and all information
identified therein, incorporated by
reference, and made publicly available.
Decision and Approval
After careful and thorough
consideration of the adopted EA and the
facts contained herein, the undersigned
finds that the FAA’s Proposed Action is
consistent with existing national
environmental policies and objectives as
set forth in Section 101 of NEPA and
other applicable environmental
requirements, and will not significantly
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
affect the quality of the human
environment or otherwise include any
condition requiring consultation
pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of NEPA.
Therefore, an environmental impact
statement will not be prepared.
The undersigned has carefully
considered the FAA’s statutory mandate
under 49 U.S.C. 40103 to ensure the safe
and efficient use of the NAS and the
other aeronautical goals and objectives
discussed in the EA. The undersigned
finds that the FAA’s Proposed Action
provides the best airspace combination
for meeting the needs stipulated in the
EA and that all practicable means to
avoid or minimize environmental harm
from that alternative have been adopted.
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to the undersigned by the
Administrator of the FAA, the
undersigned approves and authorizes all
necessary Agency action to establish the
CFAs, as described in the FAA’s
Proposed Action.
This decision signifies that applicable
federal environmental requirements
relating to the Proposed Action have
been met.
