The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to fund, construct, and operate a new Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Base Building at the General Wayne A. Downing--Peoria International Airport (PIA), Peoria, Illinois. The FAA's preferred alternative is to construct the ATCT at a location approximately 1,000 feet east of the PIA terminal building. The purpose of the proposed project is to improve operational efficiency, meet existing and future operational and administrative expansion requirements, and accommodate state-of-the-art equipment upgrades. The need for the project is to provide a replacement ATCT, as the existing ATCT was constructed as part of the original terminal building, which is planned to be demolished. A new ATCT and Base Building at PIA would be able to meet these needs. The FAA has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) in conformance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures. The DEA analyzes the potential environmental impacts that may result from construction and operation of the proposed new ATCT and Base Building at the proposed site, as well as the no action alternative (i.e., not constructing and operating the new ATCT).

Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Assessment

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Assessment 
(DEA) for a Proposed Airport Traffic Control Tower and Associated Base 
Building, Peoria International Airport, Peoria, Illinois.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to fund, 
construct, and operate a new Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and 
Base Building at the General Wayne A. Downing--Peoria International 
Airport (PIA), Peoria, Illinois. The FAA's preferred alternative is to 
construct the ATCT at a location approximately 1,000 feet east of the 
PIA terminal building.
    The purpose of the proposed project is to improve operational 
efficiency, meet existing and future operational and administrative 
expansion requirements, and accommodate state-of-the-art equipment 
upgrades. The need for the project is to provide a replacement ATCT, as 
the existing ATCT was constructed as part of the original terminal 
building, which is planned to be demolished. A new ATCT and Base 
Building at PIA would be able to meet these needs. The FAA has prepared 
a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) in conformance with the 
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) 
and FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures. 
The DEA analyzes the potential environmental impacts that may result 
from construction and operation of the proposed new ATCT and Base 
Building at the proposed site, as well as the no action alternative 
(i.e., not constructing and operating the new ATCT).

DATES: The FAA will accept written comments on the DEA until close of 
business on June 29, 2015.

ADDRESSES: The DEA is available for public review during a 30-day 
public comment period at the following locations:
