For the Implementation of RNAV/RNP Procedures at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Greener Skies over Seattle) October 2012 I. INTRODUCTION This document serves as the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Finding of No Significant Impact and Record of Decision (FONSI/ROD) and provides final agency determinations and approvals for the proposed action, namely utilization of Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) by implementing new Area Navigation (RNAV) procedures, including Required Navigation Performance (RNP) and Optimized Profile Descent (OPD), at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). The proposed routes and procedures are designed to improve the safety and efficiency of the SEA airspace, which includes the Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) as well as high-altitude Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) airspace. This FONSI/ROD is based on the information and analysis contained in the Final Environmental Assessment (Final EA) dated October 2012 attached hereto. Furthermore, this FONSI/ROD: 1) Completes the FAA’s required environmental review and decision making process. It is prepared and issued to announce and document certain Federal Actions and decisions in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) [42 U.S.C Section 4321, et seq.], the implementing regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) [40 CFR Parts 1500-1508] and FAA Orders [Order 1050.1E, Change 1, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures (March 20, 2006) and Order JO 7400.2J, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters (February 09, 2012)]. This FONSI/ROD is also used by the FAA to demonstrate and document its compliance with the several procedural and substantive requirements of aeronautical, environmental, programmatic, and other statutes and regulations…
