The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Alaska Region, is issuing this notice to advise the public of the availability of the Final Environmental Assessment (Final EA) and FAA’s Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) to construct new cargo infrastructure at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC). The FAA issued its Final EA and FONSI/ROD on April 30, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kristi Ponozzo, FAA Environmental Protection Specialist, Alaska Region Airports Division, 222 West 7th Avenue, MS #14, Anchorage, AK 99513, 907-271-3665.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: The Final EA and FONSI/ROD responds to agency and public comments received by the FAA and it updates the Draft EA, issued on September 4, 2023. The Final EA and FONSI/ROD document that the Proposed Action is consistent with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures and with existing national environmental policies and objectives set forth in Section 101 of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. (NEPA), Council on Environmental Quality regulations, 40 CFR parts 1500–1508, the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, and all other applicable special purpose laws. The Proposed Action will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment or otherwise include any condition requiring consultation pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of NEPA, and that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is therefore not necessary. The FONSI/ ROD documents the FAA’s decision to implement the Proposed Action alternative as detailed in and supported by the Final EA.
