SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The SAB was established pursuant to the Environmental Research,
Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act (ERDDAA), codified at
42 U.S.C. 4365, to provide independent scientific and technical advice
to the Administrator on the technical basis for Agency positions and
regulations. The BOSC was established by the EPA to provide advice,
information, and recommendations regarding the ORD research program.
The SAB and BOSC are Federal Advisory Committees chartered under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Pursuant to
FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the chartered SAB and
chartered BOSC will hold preparatory teleconferences and a joint
meeting to develop advice on future directions for ORD's research
programs. The SAB and BOSC will comply with the provisions of FACA and
all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies.
    ORD research programs are structured to understand environmental
problems and inform sustainable solutions to meet EPA's strategic
goals. The research programs comprise six program areas: Air, Climate,
and Energy; Safe and Sustainable Water Resources; Sustainable and
Healthy Communities; Chemical Safety for Sustainability; Human Health
Risk Assessment; and Homeland Security.
    ORD requested that the SAB work jointly with the BOSC in 2011 to
provide early advice on ORD strategic research directions. In response,
the SAB and BOSC provided a report, Office of Research and Development
(ORD) New Strategic Research Directions: A Joint Report of the Science
Advisory Board (SAB) and ORD Board of Scientific Councilors (BOSC),
EPA-SAB-12-001. After receiving this advisory report, ORD requested
additional advice from the SAB and BOSC on ORD's research
implementation plans, efforts to strengthen program integration and
efforts to strengthen and measure innovation. In response, the SAB and
BOSC provided a report, Implementation of ORD Strategic Research Plans:
A Joint Report of the

Science Advisory Board and ORD Board of Scientific Counselors (EPA-SAB-
12-012).
    ORD is now requesting the SAB and BOSC to provide advice to inform
the agency's development of Strategic Research Action Plans to cover
the period 2016-2019. To address this request, the SAB and BOSC have
planned a series of meetings: (1) A face-to-face meeting on this topic
on July 24-25, 2014; (2) teleconferences devoted to each of the six ORD
research so that ORD can brief SAB and BOSC members on ORD programs and
so that SAB and BOSC members can discuss ORD's charge to their
committees and preparations for the July 24-25, 2014 public meeting;
and (3) a teleconference for ORD to provide a general background
briefing on ORD's mission and role for new SAB members on June 24,
2014.

Availability of Meeting Materials

    A meeting agenda and other materials for the meeting will be placed
on the SAB Web site at http://epa.gov/sab.

Procedures for Providing Public Input

    Public comment for consideration by EPA's federal advisory
committees and panels has a different purpose from public comment
provided to EPA program offices. Therefore, the process for submitting
comments to a federal advisory committee is different from the process
used to submit comments to an EPA program office.
    Federal advisory committees and panels, including scientific
advisory committees, provide independent advice to EPA. Members of the
public can submit relevant comments for a federal advisory committee to
consider as it develops advice for EPA. Interested members of the
public may submit relevant written or oral information on the topic of
this advisory activity, and/or the group conducting the activity, for
the SAB and BOSC to consider during the advisory process. Input from
the public to the SAB and BOSC will have the most impact if it provides
specific scientific or technical information or analysis for them to
consider or if it relates to the clarity or accuracy of the technical
information. Members of the public wishing to provide comment should
contact the DFO directly.
    Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting to
make an oral presentation at a public meeting will be limited to five
minutes and individuals or groups requesting an oral presentation at a
public teleconference will be limited to three minutes. Each person
making an oral statement should also consider providing written
comments so that the points presented orally can be expanded upon in
writing. Interested parties should contact Dr. Angela Nugent, DFO, in
writing (preferably via email) at the contact information noted above
by July 17, 2014 to be placed on the list of public speakers for the
joint SAB-BOSC public meeting. Parties interested in providing oral
statements at any of the teleconferences should contact Dr. Angela
Nugent seven days in advance of the scheduled teleconference. Written
Statements: Written statements for the joint public meeting should be
supplied to Dr. Angela Nugent, DFO, via email at the contact
information noted above by July 17, 2014 so that the information may be
made available to the Panel members for their consideration. Parties
interested in providing written comment for consideration at any of the
teleconferences should contact Dr. Angela Nugent seven days in advance
of the scheduled teleconference.
    Written statements should be supplied in one of the following
electronic formats: Adobe Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich
Text files in IBM-PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. It is the SAB Staff
Office general policy to post written comments on the Web page for
advisory meetings or teleconferences. Submitters are requested to
provide an unsigned version of each document because the SAB Staff
Office does not publish documents with signatures on its Web sites.
Members of the public should be aware that their personal contact
information, if included in any written comments, may be posted to the
SAB Web site. Copyrighted material will not be posted without explicit
permission of the copyright holder.

Accessibility

    For information on access or services for individuals with
disabilities, please contact Dr. Nugent at the phone number or email
address noted above, preferably at least ten days prior to the meeting,
to give EPA as much time as possible to process your request.

    Dated: June 11, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends the Class E surface airspace and the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Devils Lake
Regional Airport, Devils Lake, ND, to support instrument flight rule
operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2023-1077 in the
Federal Register (88 FR 29563; May 8, 2023) proposing to amend the
Class E airspace at Devils Lake, ND. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 6002 and
6005 of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual
basis. This document amends the current version of that order, FAA
Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15,
2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. These amendments will be published
in the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
    Modifies the Class E surface airspace to within a 4.3-mile
(increased from a 4-mile) radius of Devils Lake Regional Airport,
Devils Lake, ND; removes the Devils Lake VOR/DME and associated
extensions from the airspace legal description; updates the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database; and replaces the outdated term ``Notice to Airmen'' with
``Notice to Air Missions'';
    Modifies the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.8-mile (decreased from an 8.7-mile) radius of
Devils Lake Regional Airport; removes the Devils Lake VOR/DME from the
airspace legal description; removes the Class E airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the surface as it is now redundant with
the Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface
over the State of North Dakota; and updates geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
only affects air traffic

procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is issuing this
notice under the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969, as amended to advise the public that an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared to assess the potential impacts
of the proposed Replacement Terminal Project and its connected actions.
To ensure that all significant issues related to the proposed action
are identified, one (1) public scoping meeting and one (1) governmental
agency-scoping meeting will be held.
    FAA is the lead agency on the preparation of the EIS.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David F. Cushing, Manager, Los
Angeles Airports District Office, LAX-600, Federal Aviation
Administration, Western-Pacific Region--Los Angeles Airports District
Office, LAX-600, 777 S. Aviation Boulevard, Suite 150, El Segundo,
California 90245.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this notice is to inform
federal, state, and local government agencies, and the public of the
intent to prepare an EIS and to conduct a public and agency scoping
process. Information, data, opinions, and substantive comments obtained
throughout the scoping process will be considered in preparing the
draft EIS.
    The scoping process for this EIS will include a comment period for
interested agencies and interested persons to submit oral and/or
written comments representing the concerns and issues they believe
should be addressed. Please submit any written comments to the FAA not
later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, Friday, March 1, 2019.
    The EIS will be prepared in accordance with the procedures
described in FAA Order 5050.4B, National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) Implementing Instructions for Airport Actions, and FAA Order
1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures. The Burbank-
Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority, the owner of Bob Hope ``Hollywood
Burbank'' Airport, proposes the following elements of the proposed
Replacement Terminal: Construction of a 355,000-square-foot replacement
airline passenger terminal with 14 gates and to meet FAA standards;
construction of a 413,000-square-foot aircraft parking apron that would
accommodate 14 aircraft; construction of approximately a 200 space
employee automobile surface parking lot north of the proposed
replacement passenger terminal with additional employee parking using
public parking facilities in the Southeast Quadrant; construction of a
five-to-seven story public automobile parking structure that would not
exceed 6,637 parking spaces; construction of a new multi-lane road
extending from the intersection of North Hollywood Way and Winona
Avenue that would loop around the proposed parking structures to
provide vehicle access to the replacement passenger terminal and
parking structures; realigning Avenue A, the existing terminal loop
road in the southeast quadrant of the Airport would be realigned to
permit the extension of Taxiways C and A while still allowing access to
the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center and long term parking in
the Southeast Quadrant; construction of an 8,000-square-foot
replacement airline cargo building adjacent to the replacement
passenger terminal building; construction of a replacement Aircraft
Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) station south of the replacement
passenger terminal with the existing location (Northwest Quadrant)
located in a hangar becoming available for general aviation uses;
construction of a new 8,000-square-foot Ground Support Equipment (GSE)
and terminal maintenance building north of the replacement terminal
building with about 2,000 square feet used for equipment and tool
storage and office space for maintenance staff; construction of a new
central utility plant; construction of a storage and staging area for
ground transportation vehicles (taxis, shared vans, Uber, Lyft, etc.)
west of the North Hollywood Way/Winona Avenue entrance; extend Taxiway
A from Runway 08-26 south to the Runway 33 threshold, and extend
Taxiway C between Taxiway G and the Runway 26 threshold providing full-
length parallel taxiways; relocation of the airport service road;
demolition and removal of the existing 232,000-square-foot passenger
terminal, existing commercial aircraft ramp and adjacent taxilanes;
removal of parking booth and employee parking lot; Close parking Lots
A, B and remove all structures; removal of tenant-leased pavement to
allow for the development of the replacement passenger terminal;
demolition of the existing 16,000-square-foot airline cargo and GSE
maintenance building and demolition of the shuttle bus dispatch office
and staging area.
    Within the EIS, FAA proposes to consider a range of alternatives
that could potentially meet the purpose and

need to relocate the existing terminal building and enhance airfield
safety at Bob Hope ``Hollywood Burbank'' Airport including, but not
limited to, the following:
    Replacement Passenger Terminal in the Northeast Quadrant--Sponsor's
Proposed Action: As described in detail above.
    Replacement Passenger Terminal in the Southeast Quadrant:
Construction of a replacement passenger terminal in the Southeast
Quadrant of the Airport.
    Replacement Passenger Terminal in the Southwest Quadrant:
Construction of a replacement passenger terminal in the Southwest
Quadrant of the Airport.
    Replacement Passenger Terminal in the Northwest Quadrant:
Construction of a replacement passenger terminal in the Northwest
Quadrant of the Airport.
    Construction of a New Airport: Construction of a new airport
designed to meet all FAA standards.
    Construction of Remote Landside Facility: Construction of a remote
``landside'' facility and an on-Airport ``airside'' facility. Ground
access, public parking, and terminal building facilities would be
located off-Airport and connected to the aircraft parking positions and
passenger holdrooms on-Airport by a ground transportation link.
    Transfer of Aviation Activity to Other Airports: Transfer or
shifting of aviation activity to another existing public airport (or
airports) in Southern California.
    Use of Other Modes of Transportation: Use of other modes of
transportation, including automobiles, buses, existing passenger
trains, or proposed high-speed rail facilities.
    Airfield Reconfiguration: Relocation of the existing runways at the
Airport to be away from the existing passenger terminal in an effort to
comply with FAA standards.
    No Action Alternative: Under this alternative, the existing airport
would remain unchanged. The Authority would take no action to develop a
replacement passenger terminal.
    Public Scoping and Agency Meetings: To ensure that the full range
of issues related to the proposed action is addressed and that all
significant issues are identified, comments and suggestions are invited
from all interested parties. Public and agency scoping meetings will be
conducted to identify any significant issues associated with the
proposed action.
    A governmental agency scoping meeting for all federal, state, and
local regulatory agencies which have jurisdiction by law or have
special expertise with respect to any potential environmental impacts
associated with the proposed action will be held on Tuesday, January
29, 2019. This meeting will take place at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time, at
the Buena Vista Branch Library, 300 N Buena Vista Street, Burbank,
California 91505. A notification letter will be sent in advance of the
meeting.
    One public scoping meeting for the general public will be held. The
public scoping meeting will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Pacific
Time on Tuesday, January 29, 2019. The public scoping meeting will be
conducted at the Buena Vista Branch Library, 300 N Buena Vista Street,
Burbank, California 91505. A legal notice will be also be placed in
newspapers having general circulation in the study area. The newspaper
notice will notify the public that scoping meetings will be held to
gain their input concerning the proposed action, alternatives to be
considered, and impacts to be evaluated.
    The FAA is aware that there are Native American tribes with a
historical interest in the area. The FAA will interact on a government-
to-government basis, in accordance with all executive orders, laws,
regulations, and other memoranda. The tribes will also be invited to
participate in accordance with NEPA and Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act.
