**Notice of Approval of Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for Murdo**  **Municipal Airport, Murdo, SD**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The FAA is announcing approval of Finding of No Significant Impact for proposed development at the Murdo Municipal Airport, Murdo, South Dakota. The FAA approved the FONSI on August 22, 2013.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The FONSI approved the Sponsor’s proposed action to extend primary Runway 14–32 (approximately 600 ′ x 60 ′) and construct turnaround (approximately 200 ′ x 75 ′) on Runway 14 end. Extend graded safety area (approximately 200 ′ x 120 ′) on Runway 14 end. Acquire approximately 63.0 acres of land in fee and acquire approximately 2.0 acres of restrictive
easements.

The approved action is to enhance the safety and utility of the airport in order to meet the needs of current and projected aviation activity by the design family. The need for the action is to bring the Murdo Municipal Airport in compliance with FAA design standards for 95% of A/B–I Small Aircraft (design aircraft family), specifically runway length.

The FONSI indicates the project is consistent with existing environmental policies and objectives as set forth in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended and will not significantly affect the quality of the environment.

In reaching this decision, the FAA has given careful consideration to: (a) The role of Murdo plays in the national air transportation system, (b) aviation safety, and (c) preferences of the airport owner/operator, and (d) anticipated environmental impact.

**Policy Regarding Airport Rates and Charges** 

**AGENCY :**  Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration.

**ACTION :**  Notice; publication of entire policy statement as amended.

**SUMMARY :**  This action publishes the entire Department of Transportation (‘‘Department’’), Federal Aviation Administration (‘‘FAA’’), ‘‘Policy Regarding Airport Rates and Charges’’ (‘‘Policy’’) to reflect all deletions from and amendments to the policy to date. The Policy was originally published in the Federal Register on June 21, 1996 (‘‘1996 Rates and Charges Policy’’). In response to a subsequent petition for review, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a decision in 1997 that vacated the challenged provisions of the 1996 Rates and Charges Policy and the Secretary’s supporting discussion in the preamble. In 2008, the Department and FAA adopted three amendments to the Policy, to allow operators of congested airports to use landing fees to provide incentives to air carriers to use the airport at less congested times or to use alternate airports to meet regional air service needs. The Federal Register notice publishing those amendments set out the amendments, but did not publish an entire version of the policy as amended. As a convenience for the public and for regulated entities, this notice publishes the entire Policy Regarding Airport Rates and Charges currently in effect in a single document. The FAA is not adopting or proposing any new amendments to the Policy in this notice.

**DATES :**  This Policy statement reflects the most recent amendments to the Policy Regarding Airport Rates and Charges, which took effect on July 14, 2008.

**ADDRESSES :**  To read background documents or comments received, go to http://www.regulations.gov at any time or to Room W12–140 on the ground floor of the West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
