77960 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 24, 2024 / Notices 

3, 2022, at the Embassy Suites by Hilton 

Charleston Hotel in Charleston, West 

Virginia and a third public scoping 

meeting was held virtually on Zoom on 

November 7, 2022. A governmental 

agency scoping meeting was also held at 

the Embassy Suites by Hilton Charleston 

Hotel on November 3, 2022. In response 

to requests received during scoping, the 

FAA extended the end of the public 

comment period from November 17, 

2022, to November 29, 2022, via a notice 

published in the Federal Register 

(Notice of Extension to Public Comment 

Period—Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement, 

Initiate Section 106 Consultation, and 

Request for Scoping Comments for the 

Proposed Airfield, Safety, and Terminal 

Improvement Project at West Virginia 

International Yeager Airport, 

Charleston, Kanawha County, West 

Virginia, 87 FR 68225–6, November 14, 

2022). 

In 2023, the Central West Virginia 

Regional Airport Authority (CWVRAA), 

the sponsor and operator of CRW, 

notified the FAA of forthcoming 

changes in air carrier service and 

associated operations. One carrier 

stopped service in March 2023 and a 

new carrier initiated service in May 

2023. The change in carriers resulted in 

different aircraft operating at CRW. 

Additionally, the new carrier provided 

different destinations from CRW and the 

CWVRAA was actively working to 

attract additional new carriers and 

markets during 2023. These changes in 

operation resulted in the re-examination 

of the project planning through the end 

of 2023 and early 2024 and CWVRAA 

identified a need to revisit the planning 

for the airfield components of the 

proposed project. Concurrently, 

CWVRAA decided to focus on the 

Terminal Development components of 

the proposed project and submitted a 

revised Terminal Design Concept for 

FAA review and approval. Given the 

changes in operations at CRW, the need 

for additional planning studies, and the 

focus on a revised Terminal 

Development concept, the FAA 

determined that the revised Terminal 

Development would have independent 

utility from the runway project. The 

revised Terminal Development would 

address an immediate Airport need that 

was mutually exclusive from the 

runway project and occurring at a 

different time than the runway 

components. Accordingly, the FAA 

announced that the EIS would be 

paused on the Federal Permitting 

Dashboard 

(www.permits.performance.gov) on 

March 27, 2024. 

The FAA conducted two public 

meetings on July 9, 2024 at the Embassy 

Suites by Hilton Charleston Hotel in 

Charleston, West Virginia to inform the 

public on the reason for the pause to the 

EIS, present the revised Terminal 

Design Concept, discuss CWVRAA’s 

change in approach to focus on the 

terminal, and present the results of 

environmental studies conducted on the 

EIS prior to the pause. The FAA 

accepted comments from the public on 

both the EIS pause and the revised 

Terminal Design Concept. The FAA 

completed environmental review of the 

revised Terminal Design Concept and 

issued a Categorical Exclusion on 

August 13, 2024. 

With the CWVRAA priority for the 

immediate future focused on the 

financing and construction of the airport 

terminal and marketing of new service, 

the necessary planning studies to 

support the originally proposed airfield 

development components of the EIS 

will take some time to complete. 

Accordingly, the FAA is terminating the 

EIS for the Airfield, Safety, and 

Terminal Improvement Project and 

withdrawing the NOI issued on 

September 29, 2022 as of the Effective 

Date of this Notice.
