DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) for 

the Proposed Part 139 Operating 

Certificate and Related Actions at 

Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare an 

Environmental Assessment and notice 

of opportunity for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is announcing its 

intent to prepare an Environmental

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969 and its implementing 

regulations for the application by 

Paulding County Airport Authority 

(PCAA) for certification of Paulding 

Northwest Atlanta Airport (PUJ) under 

14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 139. 

The EA will also address connected 

actions related to the introduction of 

scheduled commercial air carrier service 

at PUJ. The purpose of the EA is to 

consider and evaluate the potential 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

actions and alternatives, including the 

no-action alternative. 

DATES: FAA invites comments on the 

contents of EA during a 30-day 

comment period that will be initiated 

upon publication of this Notice. Please 

submit any written comments you may 

have on the content of the EA May 21,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Paulding 

Northwest Atlanta Airport (PUJ or 

airport) is located outside Atlanta, 

Georgia in the town of Dallas, Georgia. 

It is owned by Paulding County and the 

PCAA and operated by PCAA. It is 

designated as a general aviation airport. 

In 2013, the PCAA submitted an 

application to the FAA requesting a Part 

139 Operating Certificate. A Part 139 

Operating Certificate allows the airport 

to accommodate scheduled passengercarrying operations, frequently referred 

to as ‘‘commercial service.’’ The FAA 

plans to prepare an EA in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, Policies and 

Procedures for Considering 

Environmental Impacts and FAA Order 

5050.4B, National Environmental Policy 

Act Implementing Instructions For 

Airport Actions. 

It is anticipated that the EA will 

consider the potential environmental 

impacts associated with the following 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
22178 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 76 / Monday, April 21, 2014 / Notices 

proposed actions, and alternatives 

including the no-action alternative, at 

PUJ: (1) Obtain an Airport Operating 

Certificate from FAA, as required for 

commercial service under 14 CFR Part 

139; (2) Relocate the Runway 13 

threshold 500 feet west, to the end of 

the existing concrete pavement, which 

would increase the usable runway 

length from 5,505 feet to 6,005 feet; (3) 

Relocate the Runway 13 Precision 

Approach Path Indicators (PAPIs) by 

approximately 500 feet from their 

current location, to accommodate the 

threshold relocation; (4) Re-mark the 

runway and modify the runway lighting 

and electrical system to coincide with 

the new threshold location; (5) Extend 

the parallel taxiway 500 feet west, to 

connect with the end of the existing 

runway pavement; (6) Install 

approximately 19,000 linear feet of 

wildlife fencing around the perimeter of 

the Airport; (7) Construct an Aircraft 

Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) facility 

adjacent to Airport Parkway, in 

conjunction with the construction by 

Paulding County of an Airport Fire 

Station/Emergency 911 Call Center; (8) 

Provide a mobile Air Traffic Control 

Tower in the existing terminal area; (9) 

Obtain FAA redesignation of airspace 

(to Class D) during periods when mobile 

Air Traffic Control Tower is in 

operation; (10) Construct corporate 

hangars in the existing terminal area; 

(11) Construct a terminal area expansion 

to provide hangars and apron area; (12) 

Design and construct a 400-foot 

extension of the Runway Safety Area 

(RSA) at the Runway 31 End to provide 

a 1,000 feet long by 500 feet wide RSA; 

(13) Design and install an approach 

lighting system consisting of a MediumIntensity Approach Lighting System 

with Sequenced Flashers (MALSF) and 

towers; (14) Design paving and marking 

for a corporate hangar area expansion; 

(15) Design paving and marking for an 

itinerant parking area expansion; (16) 

Design paving and marking for a Thangar tie-down area expansion; (17) 

Construct a blast pad on new pavement 

at the Runway 13 End; (18) Widen 

Runway 13–31 from 100 feet to 150 feet; 

(19) Provide temporary vehicle parking; 

and (20) Acquire land interest for 

approximately two (2) acres of property 

within the future Runway Protection 

Zone (RPZ) located west of the Runway 

13 End. 

In addition, the EA will consider the 

cumulative impacts of airport 

improvement projects recently 

completed at PUJ including a runway 

safety area expansion project and a 

taxiway widening and lighting project. 

The EA will also consider the 

environmental impacts of the 

introduction of scheduled commercial 

air carrier service to PUJ based on an air 

traffic forecast. In addition, or in the 

alternative to the forecast, the EA may 

consider a request by one or more 

commercial service air carrier(s) to 

amend its operating specifications to 

allow operation at PUJ. The EA will also 

consider the environmental impacts of 

similar actions not connected to the 

introduction of scheduled commercial 

air carrier service at PUJ but expected to 

occur at PUJ around the same time as 

the connected actions. 

If, during preparation of the EA, it is 

determined that the proposed project 

would result in significant 

environmental impacts that cannot be 

mitigated, the FAA will issue a revised 

Notice of Intent (NOI) to complete the 

NEPA process using an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS). 

The FAA is now inviting the public, 

agencies, tribal governments, and other 

interested parties to provide comments, 

suggestions, and input on the content of 

the EA. The FAA requests that 

comments be as specific as possible. 

The FAA will not provide responses to 

those submitting comments at this time, 

but all timely comments will be 

considered and included in the public 

record. Additional comments will be 

solicited on a draft EA, and at least one 

public meeting held in Paulding 

County, upon completion of the draft 

EA. 

Issued in Atlanta, Georgia, on April 15, 

2014.

Manager, Atlanta Airports District Office,
