The Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) 2001 FE90 (FE90), discovered by B. Skiff during the LONEOS survey, was identified as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid by the Minor Planet Center. A perigee of 0.018 AU occurred on 2009 June 28.38, near which time FE90 was scheduled to be imaged by the JPL Planetary Radar Team. Our optical observations revealed a small, monolithic, and fast-rotating [P_syn = 28.66+/-0.06 min] NEA.
