The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced that a Finding of No Significant Impact and Record of Decision (FONSI/ROD) was approved for the City of San José’s proposed Terminal B South Concourse Improvements Project at San José International Airport (SJC), San Jose, Santa Clara County, California.  The FONSI/ROD are based upon results of a Final Environmental Assessment (EA) dated April 2023.

The Proposed Action addressed by the FONSI/ROD are:

    • Eight (8) gates currently exist in the Interim Terminal Facility, two (2) gates would be relocated from current locations in the existing terminals, and six (6) gates are new; 
      • The terminal gates would be designed to accommodate Aircraft Design Group III aircraft; and
  • Reconstruction and strengthening up to 392,000 SF of deteriorated airfield apron at the south end of the proposed Terminal B South Concourse to support aircraft terminal parking.

The FAA’s Federal Actions include:

  • Unconditional approval of the portions of the ALP that depict the Proposed Action pursuant to 49 U.S.C § 47107(a)(16).
  • Determinations under 49 U.S.C. §§ 47106 and 47107 that are associated with the eligibility of the Proposed Action for Federal funding assistance under the Airport Improvement Program and 49 U.S.C. § 40117, as implemented by 14  CFR § 158.25, to use passenger facility charges (PFCs) collected at the Airport for the Proposed Action to assist with construction of potentially eligible development items as shown on the ALP, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, (Public Law 117-58).

The FONSI/ROD indicates that the project is consistent with existing environmental policies and objectives set forth in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 in that it will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment.  Copies of the Final EA, and FONSI/ROD will be available at the following locations for public inspection from April 28, 2023 through June 2, 2023:
