Availability of Record of Decision for the Environmental Impact 
Statement, Tucson International Airport, Tucson, Pima County, Arizona.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of availability for record of decision.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is issuing this 
notice to advise the public that it has published a Record of Decision 
(ROD) signed by the FAA and the United States Air Force for the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EIS evaluated proposed 
Airfield Safety Enhancement Project at Tucson International Airport 
(TUS), Tucson, Pima County, Arizona.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David B. Kessler, AICP, Regional 
Environmental Protection Specialist, AWP-610.1, Office of Airports, 
Federal Aviation Administration, Western-Pacific Region, 777 South 
Aviation Boulevard, Suite 150, El Segundo, California 90245, Telephone: 
424-405-7315.

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 
and various land transactions identified at TUS. The ROD was prepared 
pursuant to Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1505.2.
    The FAA published its Final EIS for these proposed improvements on 
August 31, 2018. The FAA prepared the Final EIS pursuant to the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969; the Council of Environmental 
Quality implementing regulations, 40 CFR parts 1500-1508, FAA Order 
1050.1F, and FAA Order 5050.4B. FAA assessed the potential 
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 
Force Plant (AFP) 44. The ASEP also includes relocation of navigational 
aids and development and/or modification of associated arrival and 
departure procedures for the relocated runway. The ASEP also includes 
demolition of 12 Earth Covered Magazines (ECMs) on AFP 44 and their 
replacement elsewhere on AFP 44. The ASEP also includes both connected 
and similar land transfer actions from the Tucson Airport Authority 
(TAA) to the USAF for land at AFP 44; and another parcel of airport 
land, on behalf of the National Guard Bureau, for construction of a 
Munitions Storage Area for the Arizona Air National Guard 162nd Wing at 
the Tucson Air National Guard Base.
