SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

is currently preparing an EIS for the 

implementation of proposed projects at 

the Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport. Major 

projects already included in the EIS 

include improvements to the runway 

safety area; installation of an approach 

light system; construction of a parallel 

taxiway; construction of a seaplane 

pullout; and repairs and improvements 

to the airport seawall. These projects, 

along with other projects proposed to 

improve safety and efficiency and 

accommodate growing aviation demand, 

were identified in the Sitka Airport 

Master Plan. 

It has been determined that portions 

of property believed to be existing 

airport lands are not currently state 

owned, but instead are federally owned, 

and managed by the Bureau of Land 

Management. If the proposed airport 

improvements are approved through the 

EIS process, portions of the federal 

lands, including those commonly 

referred to as the Makhnati lands, would 

need to be transferred from federal to 

state ownership before implementation 

of proposed airport improvements. As 

such, the FAA is adding the transfer of 

the lands necessary for implementation 

of the projects being assessed in the EIS 

as well as lands necessary for other 

existing and future aviation uses, as a 

proposed action that will be examined 

in the EIS. The federally owned lands 

needed for aviation uses include 

segments of filled land on Japonski 

Island, Charcoal Island, and portions of 

submerged land surrounding the airport. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to the proposed actions are 

addressed and that all significant issues 

are identified, the FAA intends to 

coordinate and consult with the public; 

tribal governments; and Federal, State, 

and local agencies that have jurisdiction 

by law or have special expertise with 

respect to any environmental impacts 

associated with the proposed projects. 

Agencies and the public may submit 

written comments via the address 

under, ‘‘To Submit Written Comments, 

Send to.’’ Comments must be submitted 

by December 31, 2007. 

Issued in Anchorage, Alaska, on November
