Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment and 

Request for Public Scoping Comments 

for the Air Tour Management Plan 

Program at Big Cypress National 

Preserve 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment and to 

Request Public Scoping Comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA, with National Park 

Service (NPS) as a cooperating agency, 

has initiated development of an Air 

Tour Management Plan (ATMP) for Big 

Cypress National Preserve (Big Cypress), 

pursuant to the National Parks Air Tour 

Management Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106– 

181) and its implementing regulations 

(14 CFR Part 136, Subpart B, National 

Parks Air Tour Management). The 

objective of the ATMP is to develop 

acceptable and effective measures to 

mitigate or prevent the significant 

adverse impacts, if any, of commercial 

air tour operations on the natural 

resources, cultural resources, and visitor 

experiences of a national park unit and 

any tribal lands within or abutting the 

park. It should be noted that the ATMP 

has no authorization over other non-airtour operations such as military and 

general aviation operations.In 

compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) and FAA Order 1050.1E, an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) is being 

prepared. 

The FAA and NPS are now inviting 

the public, agencies, tribes, and other 

interested parties to provide comments, 

suggestions, and input on the scope of 

issues to be addressed in the 

environmental process. 

DATES: By this notice, the FAA as lead 

agency is requesting comments on the 

scope of the EA for the ATMP at Big 

Cypress. Comments must be submitted 

by May 19, 2011.

Potential Environmental Impacts of the 

Proposed Runway 13 Extension and 

Associated Actions for the Devils Lake 

Regional Airport in Devils Lake, ND 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of availability of a final 

EA and FONSI/ROD for the evaluation 

of the potential environmental impacts 

associated with the proposed Runway 

13 extension and associated actions for 

Devils Lake Regional Airport in Devils 

Lake, North Dakota. 

SUMMARY: The FAA has issued the final 

EA and FONSI/ROD for the proposed 

Runway 13 extension and associated 

actions for Devils Lake Regional Airport. 

The EA was prepared in accordance 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, FAA 

Orders 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’ and 

FAA Order 5050.4B, ‘‘NEPA 

Implementing Instructions for Airport 

Actions’’. 

Point of Contact: Ms. Patricia 

Dressler, Environmental Protection 

Specialist, FAA Bismarck Airports 

District Office (ADO), 2301 University 

Drive, Building 23B, Bismarck, North 

Dakota, 58504. Telephone number (701) 

323–7380. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

is issuing a final EA and FONSI/ROD 

that evaluated the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed runway extension and 

associated actions at Devils Lake 

Regional Airport located in Devils Lake, 

North Dakota. Based on the analysis 

contained in the final EA, the FAA has 

determined the selected alternative has 

no associated significant impacts to 

resources identified in accordance with 

FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures and 

FAA Order 5054.4B, National 

Environmental Policy Act Implementing 

Instructions for Airport Actions. 

Therefore, no environmental impact 

statement will be prepared. The runway 

extension project is needed to enhance 

the utility and safety of the Devils Lake 

Regional Airport for current and 

projected levels of aviation by the 

design aircraft family. 

Eight alternatives were studied for 

meeting the purpose and need. Four of 

the eight alternatives (including new 

location) were reviewed, analyzed, 

discarded due to the degree of 

environmental impacts and not meeting
