Written Reevaluation for a minor 

adjustment to a project evaluated in 

FAA’s 2005 Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (FEIS) for the LAX Master

Aviation Administration, WesternPacific Region, P.O. Box 92007, Los 

Angeles, California 90009–2007, 

Telephone: 310/725–3615. Comments

should be submitted to the address

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

December 2004, the Los Angeles City 

Council approved the Master Plan for 

Los Angeles International Airport 

(LAX). From this Master Plan, the City 

of Los Angeles, through its Airport 

Department—Los Angeles World 

Airports (LAWA), prepared an Airport 

Layout Plan (ALP). The ALP depicts the 

existing and planned future locations of 

runways, taxiways, aircraft parking 

aprons, terminal buildings and other 

associated facilities on the airport. At 

the time the ALP was prepared, the 

LAWA’s and Federal Aviation 

Administration’s (FAA) focus was on 

airfield safety to reduce runway 

incursions. A minor component of the 

Master Plan included aircraft 

maintenance. The ALP depicts various 

existing hangar buildings to be 

demolished and aircraft maintenance to 

be consolidated into the southwest 

quadrant of the airport on the east side 

of a north/south taxiway called 

‘‘Taxiway AA.’’ 

The FAA has prepared a Draft Written 

Reevaluation for a minor adjustment to 

a project evaluated in its 2005 Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the LAX Master Plan pursuant to the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969. LAWA proposes to adjust its LAX 

ALP to depict the proposed West 

Aircraft Maintenance Area (WAMA) on 

the west side of Taxiway AA rather than 

the east side as originally proposed in 

the 2005 Final EIS. 

FAA is making the Draft Written 

Reevaluation available to the public and 

governmental agencies for review and 

comment. The Draft Written 

Reevaluation discusses the change in 

the location of the proposed WAMA 

project and briefly summarizes the 

potential environmental consequences 

of the LAWA’s proposed change. The 

change in the proposed location of the 

West Employee Parking Facility is also 

discussed in the Draft Written 

Reevaluation. The anticipated impacts 

of the proposed WAMA project are 

compared to what was evaluated in the 

FAA’s 2005 Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) and approved in the 

FAA’s Record of Decision dated May 20, 

2005. Further, LAWA is not proposing 

to implement the West Employee 

Parking Facility at this time. 

FAA has prepared the Draft Written 

Reevaluation pursuant to FAA Order 

1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, and FAA Order 

5050.4B, National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) Implementing Instructions 

for Airport Actions. LAWA is seeking 

federal approval of the ALP for the 

proposed WAMA. FAA does not 

anticipate LAWA seeking federal 

funding assistance for the proposal. 

Copies of the Draft Written 

Reevaluation are available for public 

review at the following locations during 

normal business hours: U.S. Department 

of Transportation, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Western-Pacific Region, 

Office of the Airports Division, 15000
