-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is issuing this
notice to advise the public that it has published a Final Environmental
Assessment and Finding of No Significant/Record of Decision for the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The FAA has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (EA) to
assess the potential environmental impacts of the Cleveland/Detroit
Metroplex project in compliance with the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. This notice announces that based on
the information and analysis contained in the Final EA, the FAA is
issuing a Finding of No Significant Impact and Record of Decision
(FONSI/ROD) for the project. The Final EA and FONSI/ROD document the
FAA's determination that the project, as proposed, would not
significantly affect the quality of the human environment and that an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is therefore not necessary. The
FONSI/ROD documents the FAA's decision to proceed with the preferred
alternative detailed in the EA. The Cleveland/Detroit Metroplex project
will improve the efficiency of the national airspace system in the
Cleveland-Detroit area by optimizing aircraft arrival and departure
procedures at 12 Cleveland-Detroit area airports.
Availability: The Final EA and FONSI/ROD are available for public
review at: (1) Online http://www.metroplexenvironmental.com/cle_dtw_metroplex/cle_dtw_docs.html. (2) Electronic versions of the
Final EA and FONSI/ROD are available at 69 libraries in the General
Study Area. A complete list of libraries with electronic copies of the
Final EA and FONSI/ROD is available online http://www.metroplexenvironmental.com/cle_dtw_metroplex/cle_dtw_introduction.html.
Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, on May 7, 2018.
