[Docket No. FAA-2022-0559; Notice of Availability Docket No. 22-ANE-6]
Notice of Availability of the Final Environmental Assessment
(Final EA)/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and Record of
Decision (ROD) for a New Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP), Referred
to as the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway
4 Left (4L) Procedure, to Runway 4L at Boston Logan International
Airport (BOS)
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, (FAA), Department of
Transportation.
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) and FAA's Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) to implement a new RNAV GPS arrival
procedure to Runway 4L at BOS.

Administration, Operations Support Group, Eastern Service Center, 1701
Columbia Avenue, College Park, Georgia 30337, (404) 305-5598.
Additional information about the FAA's actions and environmental review
of this project is available at the following website:
<a href="http://FAABostonWorkshops.com">FAABostonWorkshops.com</a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final EA responds to agency and public
comments received by the FAA and it updates the Draft EA, issued on
September 21, 2020. The Final EA and FONSI/ROD documents 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
[[Page 25692]]
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. The proposed
instrument approach procedure will enhance public aviation safety by
providing pilots with lateral and vertical electronic guidance to
ensure a stabilized approach to landing, particularly during marginal
and poor weather conditions. The proposed instrument approach procedure
will also reduce delays at the Airport by reducing the number of
flights that must be canceled during times of poor weather, resulting
in an increase in efficiency at the airport as well as the National
Airspace System (NAS) as a whole.
Availability: The Final EA and FONSI/ROD are available for review
at the following locations:
(1) Online at <a href="http://FAABostonWorkshops.com">FAABostonWorkshops.com</a>.
(2) Electronic Versions of the Final EA and FONSI/ROD have been
