Comments should be as specific as 

possible and may address such topics as 

the adequacy of the DEIS (e.g., the 

analysis of alternatives and potential 

environmental impacts), the merits of 

the alternatives, and the mitigation 

being considered. Reviewers should 

organize their participation so that it is 

meaningful and makes the agency aware 

of the reviewer’s interests and concerns 

by using quotations and other specific 

references to the text of the DEIS and 

related documents. Matters that could 

have been raised with specificity during

not be considered if they are raised later 

in the decision process. This 

commenting procedure is intended to 

ensure that substantive comments and 

concerns are made available to the FAA 

in a timely manner so that the FAA has 

an opportunity to address them. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Based on 

FAA safety standards, the Kodiak 

Airport Master Plan identified a 

Runway Safety Area deficiency for two 

of Kodiak Airport’s three runways. The 

DEIS discusses proposed improvements 

to the Runway Safety Areas for Runway 

07/25 and Runway 18/36, which have 

the potential to result in significant 

adverse environmental impacts. The 

purpose and need for the project is to 

improve the Runway Safety Areas for 

Runway 07/25 and Runway 18/36 to the 

extent practicable; the purpose and need 

is discussed in detail in the DEIS. The 

DEIS also discusses various alternatives, 

including the no-action alternative. 

The FAA and the State of Alaska 

Department of Transportation and 

Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) propose 

the following actions to meet the needs 

for improved Runway Safety Areas: 

• Improvements to the Runway Safety 

Area for Runway 07/25. 

• Improvements to the Runway Safety 

Area for Runway 18/36. 

The proposed Airport improvements 

would be completed during the 2014– 

2015 time period. Potential 

environmental effects include 

temporary and long-term impacts to the 

marine environment and wildlife 

(including species protected under the 

Endangered Species Act); water quality; 

wetlands; historical and cultural 

resources; terrestrial wildlife and 

vegetation; socioeconomic conditions; 

subsistence activities; environmental 

justice; and resources protected under 

Section 4(f) of the Department of 

Transportation Act of 1966 (recodified 

at 49 U.S.C. 303(c)), which include the 

Alaska National Maritime Wildlife 

Refuge and the Buskin State Recreation 

Site. 

The improvements to the Runway 

Safety Areas would occur within waters 

that are part of the Alaska National 

Maritime Wildlife Refuge and would 

affect lands established by the Alaska 

National Interests Land Conservation 

Act (ANILCA). As such, ADOT&PF, the 

project sponsor, has prepared an 

application under ANILCA for the use 

of lands through the ANILCA Title XI 

process.
