What document does the FAA issue if an EIS is prompted by a mitigation measure?

When an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is prompted as a result of identifying mitigation measures, the appropriate document the FAA issues is the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) along with a Record of Decision (ROD). This indicates that, after assessment, the proposed action will not have a significant impact on the environment due to the implementation of mitigation measures.

The FONSI states that the environmental assessments conducted did not reveal any substantial adverse effects, thus negating the need for a more extensive statement like a Final Environmental Impact Statement. The Record of Decision, alongside the FONSI, provides an official document that outlines the FAA's decision regarding the environmental implications of the proposed actions.

Contextually, options such as an Environmental Assessment or Final Environmental Impact Statement do not fit because they address different levels of environmental review. An Environmental Assessment is typically used for projects that might lead to significant impacts but do not automatically prompt an EIS. A Final Environmental Impact Statement is issued when significant impacts are anticipated and requires a detailed analysis rather than being a response to mitigation measures. A Notice of Intent is used to announce the intent to prepare an EIS but does not serve as a conclusion or decision on the impacts.
