Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 219 / Monday, November 14, 2011 / Notices 70531 

of Mesquite proposed to build the 

replacement airport south of Interstate 

Highway 15 between Exit 108 and 109 

on the Mormon Mesa, about 15 miles 

west of the existing Mesquite Municipal 

Airport. The City proposed to close the 

existing Mesquite Municipal Airport 

and change the airport land use to 

residential land use, including 

construction of a new arterial roadway 

through the existing airport property. To 

maintain access to the National Air 

Transportation System, the City also 

proposed to design, fund, and build a 

replacement GA airport at Mormon 

Mesa that would provide GA facilities 

and services to the flying public, 

support regional economic development 

at no cost to the FAA. The City 

proposed to build the replacement GA 

airport to meet FAA Airport Reference 

Code (ARC) B–II standards with a new 

runway 7,500 feet long by 100 feet wide. 

On May 16, 2008, the Notice of 

Availability of FAA’s Draft EIS was 

published in the Federal Register (73 

FR 28461). The FAA received 34 

comment letters on the Draft EIS from 

federal, state and local agencies, as well 

as the general public. In March 2009, as 

FAA was preparing responses to 

comments received on the 2008 Draft 

EIS, FAA determined there were 

significant new circumstances or 

information relevant to environmental 

concerns and bearing on the Proposed 

Project or its impacts. Consistent with 

Title 40 CFR 1501.9, FAA decided to 

prepare a Revised Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement (RDEIS). 

The FAA received a letter from the 

City of Mesquite, dated September 27, 

2011, asking the FAA to suspend any 

additional work on the EIS for the 

proposed Replacement GA Airport EIS. 

The City of Mesquite explained the 

postponement was based on local 

economic conditions and other local 

fiscal and budgetary constraints. The 

FAA does not know how long the 

suspension of the EIS will last. 

Pursuant to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 77, Objects Affecting 

Navigable Airspace, § 77.29 Evaluating 

Aeronautical Effect, when a proponent 

files a Notice of Proposed Construction 

or Alteration (FAA Form 7460–1) for a 

proposal in the vicinity of the proposed 

Replacement General Aviation Airport 

for Mesquite, the FAA will conduct an 

aeronautical study to determine the 

impact of a proposed structure, an 

existing structure that has not yet been 

studied by the FAA, or an alteration of 

an existing structure on aeronautical 

operations, procedures, and the safety of 

flight including but not limited to the 

proposal’s impact on existing and 

planned public use airports.
