Record of Decision Issued – September 5, 2007
• The Selected Project for this study is The Integrated Airspace Alternative with the Integrated control complex (ICC) variation.
• This is the final stage of this study which has been on-going for over 9 years
• Procedural adaptations for noise abatement (mitigation measures) will also be implemented
• Draft Environmental Impact Statement DEIS was published in December 2005
• Comments were taken on the DEIS and some of those comments were used in developing the noise mitigation measures
• In April of 2007 the FAA identified its Preferred Alternative and provided analysis of the mitigation measures
• Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was published on August 3, 2007

Implementation Overview
• Planning has already started• Target for initial changes within 60-90 days of ROD• Expected timeframe for completion five years• Implementation approach was broken into four stages in the ROD:
Changes in N90,
ZNY,PHL

Stage 1
• Right turns for departures off Runway 31R at JFK• Departure dispersal headings at EWR, PHL and LGA• RNAV overlay procedures for TEB departures and approaches• RNAV overlay for PHL river visual approach• Develop an additional parallel airway to Jet Route 80• A third westbound departure fix for PHL• RNAV overlay for LGA Localizer Type Directional Aid (LDA)
approach to Runway 22• RNAV fix on the VOR 13L/R and 13L/R visual approaches to JFK

All headings will be published in December. Usage may be limited until additional airspace changes
are implemented.

Stage 2
• Expanding the use of terminal separation rules• Expanding the west gate for NY departures• Opening the west gate for JFK departures• Allowing stacked departures at the departure fixes• Providing flexible use of the arrival airways• Establishing a new arrival route into PHL

Increased Number of Jet Routes Reduces Delay
Integrated w/ ICC:• Increased number of jet
routes• Increased number of
access points • Less competition for
departures means decreased delay
Current System:• Few jet routes for
departures • Access is limited • Competition for resources
means increased delay

JFK Access to Westgate Decreases Complexity
Integrated w/ ICC:Current System:• JFK traffic crosses through
departures from LGA, EWR, TEB, etc.
• Long ground delays necessary to maintain safe and orderly flow of traffic
• Stacked flows are more efficient and less complex

Stage 3 and Stage 4
Stage 3• Adding a third airway to the north gate
Stage 4• Creating a new jet airway for departures to the west• Enabling dependent instrument arrivals to the parallel runways at
EWR and the required shift of the arrival streams into the NY/NJ area
• Creating a south gate for departures out of the NY/NJ area

Example of Delay Savings with New Usage of Runways
Integrated w/ ICC:• Dual arrivals to EWR
04/22• Increased use of
EWR 11• Efficient use =
reduced delay
Current System:• Conflicting flows
restrict use of runways• Inefficient use of
runways = increased delay
Dependent IFR approaches

Summary
• Integrated Airspace with ICC …• Offers the most significant operational benefits
• Provides a new way to manage air traffic control
• Aligns airspace with its functionality
• Serves as a foundation for the future, supporting adaptive use of the airspace
• Reduces emissions from aircraft
• Reduces the number of people exposed to noise over No Action
• Embraces emerging technology
• Fits flexibly into any of the Agency's facility plans
