ACTION:

Notice of availability.

SUMMARY:

The FAA, Eastern Service Center, is issuing this notice to advise the public of the availability of the Final Environmental Assessment (Final EA)/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and the Record of Decision (ROD) for the Teterboro Airport RNAV (GPS) RWY 19 Offset arrival procedure. The Final EA/FONSI/ROD documents that the project 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. (NEPA), Council on Environmental Quality regulations, the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, and all other applicable special purpose laws. The project will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment or otherwise include any condition requiring consultation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Final EA responds to agency and public comments received by the FAA and it updates the Draft EA, issued on December 23, 2019. The publication of the RNAV (GPS) RWY 19 Offset arrival procedure seeks to respond to a request from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey by making available an alternative arrival procedure that overflies a less densely populated corridor while maintaining efficient operation of airspace around the Teterboro Airport.

The Final EA/FONSI/ROD documents the FAA's decision to implement the Proposed Action alternative as detailed in and supported by the Final EA.

The Final EA and FONSI/ROD for the Teterboro Airport RNAV (GPS) RWY 19 Offset arrival procedure are available at the following locations:
