Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 77 / Monday, April 23, 2007 / Notices 20161 

• Construct new aircraft parking and 

storage facilities to meet existing and 

future demands, and 

• Implement an improved wildlife 

hazard management program that will 

reduce potential for aircraft collisions 

with wildlife. 

FAA published the Draft EIS (DEIS) in 

April 2005. The DEIS was prepared in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA). The DEIS disclosed the 

environmental consequences associated 

with the proposed development 

activities at JNU and analyzed multiple 

alternatives associated with six 

Proposed Actions, including No Action 

Alternatives. 

After publication of the FEIS, FAA 

issued new guidance (a change to 

Advisory Circular 150/5300–13) 

regarding undershoot protection 

requirements for runway safety areas 

(RSA). This new guidance provided 

FAA an opportunity to change some of 

the RSA configurations analyzed in the 

DEIS. As a result, the FEIS includes 

three additional RSA alternatives 

representing modifications of 

alternatives evaluated in the DEIS. 

These alternatives are identified as 

RSA–5D—Relocate Runway 26 

Threshold and Construct Additional 

Runway and Safety Areas; RSA–5E—

Displace Runway 08 Threshold 120 Feet 

and Construct Additional 26 Runway 

and Safety Area (Sponsor’s Proposed 

Project); and RSA–6D—Threshold 

Displacement using Declared Distance 

Criteria with Option for EMAS. One of 

these modified alternatives, RSA–5E, 

was adopted by the Airport Sponsor as 

the Proposed Action and is the FAA’s 

preferred alternative. 

Other substantive FEIS changes were 

made in response to public comment on 

the DEIS, with particular efforts to 

reduce environmental impacts to the 

Refuge and important habitat. Among 

the changes included are an alternative 

location for placement of the Automated 

Surface Observation System, a modified 

channel configuration for the relocation 

of lower Duck Creek, additional 

hydraulic modeling for the tidal sloughs 

east of the existing runway, analysis of 

potential affects on Mendenhall River 

hydraulics and geomorphology, a 

conceptual compensatory mitigation 

plan, updated cost estimates, and 

detailed analysis of potential impacts to 

Alaska Airlines special navigation 

procedures employed at JNU. 

Those portions of the FEIS containing 

the substantively updated information 

include but are not limited to the 

following sections and their subsections 

and their subsections: 2.2.2, 2.6, 2.11, 

2.12, 2.13, 4.2, 4.3, and Appendices A, 

C, I, J, K, L, and M. 

The proposed Airport improvements 

would be completed during the 2007–

2015 time period and would result in 

impacts to wetlands, water quality, 

wildlife habitat, vegetation, essential 

fish habitat, visual quality, 

socioeconomics, air, noise and two DOT 

Section 4(f) properties, the Dike Trail 

and the Mendenhall Wetlands State 

Game Refuge. 

FAA will not make decisions on the 

Proposed Actions for a minimum of 30 

days following publication of this 

Notice of Availability of the FEIS in the 

Federal Register. FAA will record the 

appropriate decisions in a Record of 

Decision.

20162 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 77 / Monday, April 23, 2007 / Notices 

SUMMARY: The FAA hereby provides 

notice of intent to execute an agreement 

with the City of Pompano Beach, 

Florida, to formally release certain 

airport properties, 295.7 acres, at the 

Pompano Beach Airpark, Pompano 

Beach, FL from the conditions, 

reservations, and restrictions as 

contained in a Quitclaim Deed 

agreement between the FAA and the 

City of Pompano Beach, dated August 

29, 1947, and correctional Quitclaim 

Deed dated December 18, 1947, and 

supplemental Quitclaim Deed dated 

June 24, 1948; and approve interim nonaeronautical uses for certain other 

airport properties, 250 acres, at the 

Pompano Beach Airpark, Pompano 

Beach, FL. The release of property from 

the conditions, reservations, and 

restrictions as contained in the 

Quitclaim Deed agreements will allow 

the City of Pompano Beach to make a 

one-time payment, per parcel being 

formally released, to the Airport Capital 

Improvement Fund to permit use of the 

properties for municipal purposes 

without further compensation to the 

airport. The City will make periodic 

deposits into the fund until there are 

adequate funds to make a one-time 

payment per parcel. Compensation for 

each property will be provided in this 

manner. For parcels being used for 

interim, non-aeronautical purposes, the 

City will compensate the airport based 

on current fair market rental value. 

Revenues produced by interim uses will 

be deposited into a separate Airport 

Enterprise Fund. These funds must be 

used for airport purposes. 

The property is located in the City of 

Pompano Beach, Broward County, 

Florida. The parcels are currently 

designated as both aeronautical and 

non-aeronautical uses. The properties to 

be formally released to the City of 

Pompano Beach are expected to remain 

municipal uses. FAA has agreed that the 

property value for the formal releases 

will be determined through historical 

appraisals of lands based on the year 

they were developed for municipal use. 

Interest will be assessed on each 

property in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

47107(o) at a fixed rate from the date the 

property was converted to a nonaeronautical, municipal use to the date 

the city makes its one-time payment to 

the Airport Capital Improvement Fund. 

Funds received through the release of 

airport properties will be subsequently 

reinvested in airport capital 

improvements, as mutually agreed upon 

by the FAA and the City. 

Documents reflecting the Sponsor’s 

request and the draft agreement are 

available, by appointment only, for 

inspection at the City of Pompano Beach 

municipal offices and the FAA Orlando 

Airports District Office. 

DATES: May 23, 2007.
