L AMENDED NOTICE OF DOCKETING ^ 

On January 16,2009, FAA issued a docketing notice in William H. Keyes v. McMinn County, 

Tennessee. On January 16, 2009, FAA issued a docketing notice in DeWitt T. Ferrell, Jr. v. 

McMinn County, Tennessee. 

Because the FAA below is ordering these two cases to be consolidated, the FAA must amend the 

Notice of Docketing in Keyes v. McMinn County, Tennessee, 16-08-12 to include Ferrell v. 

McMinn Coimty, Tennessee, No. 16-08-13. 

Both complaints involve allegations of noncompliance against the same airport sponsor. 

Due to the similar nature of the issues raised by both complainants against the same respondent, 

occurring in the same time frame, in the interest of administrative efficiency and economy, the FAA 

below issues an Order to Consolidate FAA Docket Nos. 16-08-12 and 16-08-13. Barring objections 

by the parties within the time limits prescribed in Section II, these complaints will be consolidated 

under FAA Docket No. 16-08-12. 

11. ORDER TO CONSOLIDATE 

Upon receipt and review of the pleadings originally docketed by the FAA Office of the Chief 

Counsel as Docket Nos. 16-08-12 and 16-08-13, the FAA Director of Airport Compliance and Field 

Operations notes the allegations and issues raised by both complainants are almost identical in 

nature, against the same respondent, and occur during the same time frame. Therefore, in the 
interest of efficiency and economy, the Director issues this Order to Consolidate both complaints as 

Docket No 16-08-12. 

This Order is subject to objection by any of the affected parties: William H. Keyes, Dewitt T. 

Ferrell, and McMinn County, Tennessee. Objections may be filed in writing within 10 days of the 

date of service of this notice and order, and must include reasonable objections regarding how the 

consolidation would negatively impact the parties based upon the allegations stated in the original 

complaints. Additional allegations may not be made in this objection. 

Objections must be filed with:

III. NOTICE OF EXTENSION OF TIME 

Pursuant to 14 CFR § 16.11(a), the Director does hereby extend the date that the Director's initial 

determination will be rendered in the above-referenced consolidated case to August 28, 2009. An 

extension is necessary because the Agency requires additional time to review information it believes 

is essential for a fair and complete hearing of the matter.
