AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

ACTION: Notice of public hearing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Eastern Region of the FAA announces:

    The FAA, acting as ``Lead Agency,'' has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)--for a proposal by the Port 
Authority of New York and New Jersey, acting as ``Sponsor,'' to develop 
the Newark International Airport (EWR) Monrail--Northeast Corridor 
Connection Project (Newark Airport Monorail-NEC Connection Project).
    The DEIS has been prepared to evaluate environmental impacts 
associated with the project. Three alternatives are analyzed in the 
DEIS: a ``No Build'' alternative; a Transportation Systems Management 
option; and a Build alternative, which is the extension of the monorail 
system (currently under construction at the airport) to the northeast 
rail corridor, along with construction of a new rail station. Three 
monorail alignments are under consideration for the extension; their 
associated environmental impacts are analyzed in the DEIS.
    A Public Hearing has been scheduled to discuss the project 
alternatives, present the three alignments under consideration, and 
receive comments on the DEIS:
