Notice of Intent, Project Cancellation, California Forest Highway 224, Bautista Canyon Road, Riverside County, CA
On August 20, 2004, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Central Federal Lands Highway Division, and the County of Riverside published a notice of availability of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) for the proposed reconstruction of an 8.2-mile segment of California Forest Highway 224, Bautista Canyon Road. Preliminary engineering and environmental work on the project has been funded through the County of Riverside and the Federal Lands Forest Highway Program, which is jointly administered by the FHWA, the USDA Forest Service and the California Department of Transportation. Following public hearings on the Draft EIS/EIR, comments were received from the general public, the USDA Forest Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of the Interior. On the basis of these comments, and upon further analysis of the project purpose and need, alternatives, and the cost to mitigate impacts to biological and cultural resources, the Forest Highway programming agencies and the County of Riverside have determined that the project is not viable. The project is being removed from the Federal Lands Highway Program of projects. All engineering and environmental studies have been sopped.
Airworthiness Directives; The Cessna Aircraft Company Models C208 and C208B Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 208 and 208B airplanes. This AD requires you to incorporate information into the applicable section of the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM). This AD results from several accidents/incidents of problems with the affected airplanes during operations in icing conditions, including six accidents in the previous two icing seasons and nine events in the past few months. We are issuing this AD to assure that the pilot has enough information to prevent loss of control of the airplane while in-flight during icing conditions.
Use of Locomotive Horns at Highway-Rail Grade Crossings
FRA is issuing notice of a public conference that will be held in Fort Lauderdale, FL to discuss the appropriate excess risk estimate that should be applied to highway-rail grade crossings that are currently subject to FRA Emergency Order 15 (``E.O. 15''). The public conference will provide an opportunity for interested parties to provide information to FRA on the effect of silencing the locomotive horn at highway-rail grade crossings that are currently subject to E.O. 15.
Operating Limitations at Chicago O'Hare International Airport
On February 10, 2005, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an order to show cause, which solicited written views on extending the FAA's August 18, 2004, order limiting scheduled operations at O'Hare International Airport (O'Hare). The August 2004 order made effective a series of schedule adjustments that the air carriers individually agreed to during a scheduling reduction meeting. These agreements, in general, resulted in a voluntary O'Hare peak-hour arrival rate of eighty-eight scheduled flights, with the exception of the 8 p.m. hourthe final peak hour of the daywhen the rate would not exceed ninety-eight scheduled arrivals. This notice extends the August 2004 order until October 29, 2005. The order was originally scheduled to expire on April 30, 2005.
Congestion and Delay Reduction at Chicago O'Hare International Airport
The FAA is proposing this rule to address persistent flight delays related to over-scheduling at O'Hare International Airport (O'Hare). This proposed rule is intended as an interim measure, because the FAA anticipates that the rule would yield to longer term solutions to traffic congestion at the airport. Such solutions include an application by the City of Chicago that, if approved, would modernize the airport and reduce levels of delay, both in the medium term and long term. For this reason, the proposed rule includes provisions allowing for the limits it imposes to be gradually relaxed and in any event would sunset in 2008.
