DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Availability of the Record of 

Decision (ROD) for the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (Final 

EIS) for the Development and 

Expansion of Runway 9R/27L and 

Other Associated Airport Projects at 

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood 

International Airport (FLL), Broward 

County, FL, Published in June 2008 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), U.S. Department 

of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Record 

of Decision (ROD). 

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice 

to advise the public that it has issued a 

ROD for the Final EIS that evaluated the 

proposed expansion of Runway 9R/27L 

and other associated airport projects at 

FLL. Broward County, the Airport 

Sponsor, owns and operates FLL. The 

Airport Sponsor has proposed airport 

development at FLL to address existing 

and forecast aviation demand. This ROD 

provides final agency determinations 

and approvals for those federal actions 

by the FAA necessary for the proposed 

airport projects. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

has completed and is publishing its 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 6 / Friday, January 9, 2009 / Notices 979 

ROD for the proposed expansion of 

Runway 9R/27L and other associated 

airport projects at FLL. The 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

published a notice of availability of the 

Final EIS for this proposed airport 

project in the Federal Register on June 

27, 2008. The Final EIS was prepared in 

compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) [42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.], the 

implementing regulations of the Council 

on Environmental Quality (CEQ) [40 

CFR Parts 1500–1508] and FAA 

directives [Order 1050.1E and Order 

5050.4B], and assessed the potential 

impacts of eight runway development 

alternatives, as well as the No Action 

Alternative. The FAA accepted 

comments on the Final EIS and these 

comments, along with the FAA’s 

responses, are included in Appendix A 

of the ROD. The FAA identified 

Alternative B1b as its preferred 

alternative in the Final EIS and selected 

alternative in the ROD. 

The selected alternative B1b includes 

the expansion of Runway 9R/27L to an 

overall length of 8,000 feet and width of 

150 feet with an Engineered Materials 

Arresting System (EMAS) at both 

runway ends. The runway extends to 

the east without encroaching onto NE 

7th Avenue and would be elevated over 

the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway 

and U.S. Highway 1. The western extent 

of the runway is the Dania Cut-Off 

Canal. The selected alternative includes 

the following: construct a new fulllength parallel taxiway 75 feet wide on 

the north side of Runway 9R/27L with 

separation of 400 feet from 9R/27L; 

construct an outer dual parallel taxiway 

that would be separated from the 

proposed north side parallel taxiway by 

276 feet; construct connecting taxiways 

from the proposed full-length parallel 

taxiway to existing taxiways; construct 

an Instrument Landing System (ILS) for 

landings on Runways 9R and 27L; 

Runway ends 9R and 27L would have 

a Category I ILS, which includes a 

Medium Intensity Approach Light 

System with runway alignment 

indicator lights (MALSR), localizer, and 

glideslope. 

Runway 13/31 would be 

decommissioned and permanently 

closed due to the increased elevation of 

the expanded Runway 9R/27L at its 

intersection with Runway 13/31. The 

terminal redevelopment envelope can 

accommodate a total of 67 to 77 gates 

and would accommodate the FAAforecast levels of passenger-related 

activity through 2020. The terminal 

redevelopment envelope accommodates 

the potential redevelopment of 

Terminals 2, 3, and 4 including aircraft 

parking positions, taxilanes, and remote 

parking positions. During project 

design, the Airport Sponsor will 

consider the refinement of airfield and 

terminal area elements that include the 

design, location, and number of taxiway 

exits, aircraft holding pads, and runway 

access areas. 

Connected actions associated with the 

selected alternative include: close 

Airport Perimeter Road located within 

the approach to Runway 9R; relocate 

Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR–9); 

acquire all, or a portion, of the Hilton 

Fort Lauderdale Airport Hotel (formerly 

the Wyndham Fort Lauderdale Airport 

Hotel); acquire all, or a portion, of the 

Dania Boat Sales. 

The FAA is granting approval to 

amend the airport layout plan (ALP) 

with the conditions noted in Section 8 

of the ROD, Conditions of Approval, for 

the projects summarized in Section 1 of 

the ROD, Description of Airport 

Sponsor’s Proposed Action, which 

constitutes the selected alternative in 

the ROD—FAA’s Preferred Alternative 

(B1b). 

Paper copies and CD copies of the 

ROD are available for review at various 

libraries in Broward County, the FAA 

Headquarters Office in Washington, D.C. 

and its Southern Regional Office in 

College Park, Georgia and Airports 

District Office in Orlando, Florida and 

at the administrative offices of the City 

of Cooper City, City of Dania Beach, City 

of Fort-Lauderdale, City of Hollywood, 

City of Lauderhill, City of Pembroke 

Pines, City of Plantation, City of 

Sunrise, and the Town of Davie, as well 

as the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood 

International Airport. The addresses and 

telephone numbers for these locations 

are provided in the Final EIS, in Chapter 

Nine. 

The Final EIS is available on Broward 

County’s airport Web site: http://

ROD is available on the FAA’s Web site:
