Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 149 / Tuesday, August 4, 2015 / Notices 46383 

3Note: In 1994, the provisions of the Airport and 

Airway Improvement Act of 1982 were codified in 

U.S. Code Title 49, chapter 471, subchapter I. 

4BLM addressed its requirements through its 

revisions to their Resource Management Plan in 

2008. Bureau of Land Management Monticello Field 

Office, Record of Decision and Approved Resource 

Management Plan (November 2008). 

We therefore REVERSE the BLM’s plan 

amendment and the transfer of land. We 

REMAND for further proceedings to 

determine whether the land should be 

retained under BLM control and management 

or reconveyed to San Juan County under a 

newly proposed land use plan amendment. 

In the case of the FAA, the airport has 

already been built. This does not mean that 

a remand would be meaningless, however. 

On remand, the FAA should re-analyze the 

impact of the airport under section 4(f) and 

section 2208.3 The FAA may determine that 

it must make use of studies not utilized in 

the current FEIS. If a ‘‘significant’’ impact is 

found, section 4(f) and section 2208 require 

that all reasonable steps be taken to mitigate 

the damage or adverse impact. We therefore 

REVERSE the FAA’s determination of no 

significant impact and REMAND to the FAA 

for further proceedings consistent with this 

decision. 

In response to the court remand, FAA, in 

cooperation with BLM and NPS prepared a 

Supplemental EIS (SEIS).4 The Draft SEIS for 

the Cal Black Memorial Airport (Replacement 

Airport for Halls Crossing Airport) was 

published on December 12, 2014. The 45-day 

comment period included an opportunity to 

request a public hearing; however, no 

responses were received requesting a hearing. 

The following parties submitted comments to 

the FAA on the Draft SEIS during the 

comment period: U.S. Department of the 

Interior, U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, BLM, and the NPCA. An errata sheet 

was drafted to identify changes that were 

made to the Draft SEIS in response to 

comments received. Additionally, an 

appendix was added (Appendix J) to 

document each comment received, and 

FAA’s response to each comment. These 

additional documents, in combination with a 

CD containing the Draft SEIS, constitute the 

Final SEIS for the Replacement Airport at 

Halls Crossing. The Final SEIS for the Cal 

Black Memorial Airport (replacement airport 

for the Halls Crossing Airport) was published 

on May 8, 2015. 

The SEIS described potential 

environmental consequences that could 

result from the continued operation of 

the Cal Black Memorial Airport to 

resources located within the Project 

Area. Direct effects of the new airport 

(its construction) as well as indirect 

effects (airport operations) were 

identified in the 1990 FEIS. The SEIS 

provided further evaluation of actual 

and potential aircraft noise impacts, as 

well as Section 4(f) impacts and 

cumulative impacts. Evaluation of noise 

impacts focused exclusively on the 

effect of aircraft noise on GCNRA and 

surrounding lands. Chapter III, 

Environmental Consequences, presents 

the analysis for noise impacts, Section 

4(f) impacts, and Cumulative Effects 

resulting from the operation of the Cal 

Black Memorial Airport. 

The FAA has determined, based on 

the noise analysis conducted for the 

SEIS that as there are no significant 

impacts related to the continued 

operation of the Cal Black Memorial 

Airport, there is no need for any 

mitigation measures under either 

Section 4(f) or Section 2208. 

In addition, the FAA has confirmed 

that the ROD for the 1990 EIS included 

the FAA determinations made for the 

project based upon evidence set forth in 

the FEIS, public input, and the 

supporting administrative record. These 

determinations are not changed by any 

new information developed for this 

SEIS.

The request to release airport property 

may be reviewed in person at this same 

location. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

invites public comment on the request 

to release property at the Morgantown 

Municipal Airport under the provisions 

of Section 47125(a) of Title 49 U.S.C. On 

July 21, 2015, the FAA determined that 

the request to release property at the 

Morgantown Municipal Airport (MGW), 

WV, submitted by the City of 

Morgantown, Sponsor for the 

Morgantown Municipal Airport, met the 

procedural requirements. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

The Morgantown Municipal Airport is 

proposing the release of approximately 

95.70 acres of fee simple release to 

permit the transfer of such Property to 

the Monongalia County Development 

Authority (‘‘MCDA’’). Thereafter, 

‘‘MCDA’’ will construct, or cause the 

construction, and operate, or cause the 

operation, of a Business Park on the 

Property. The Property to which this 

request relates is not a viral part of, or 

necessary for, the Sponsor’s operation 

and development of Morgantown 

Municipal Airport (MGW). Therefore, it 

has been determined by the Sponsor 

that the most productive use of the 

Property is commercial development 

subsequent to its transfer to the 

‘‘MCDA’’. The development of the 

Property demonstrates that significant 

private investment can occur at MGW 

and shall serve to establish quality 

standards for future investments. The 

release and transfer of this property will 

allow the Sponsor to develop the 

roadway and utilities which will benefit 

this property, the hangar site, and the 

landside development site. This release 

will enhance the development of private 

aviation and commercial development 

of the east side of the airport. 

Issued in Beckley, West Virginia, on July 

16, 2015. 

Matthew P. DiGiulian, 

Manager, Beckley Airport Field Office, 

Eastern Region. 

Any person may inspect the request 

by appointment at the FAA office 

address listed above. Interested persons 

are invited to comment on the proposed 

lease. All comments will be considered 

by the FAA to the extent practicable.
