DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Modification to Previously 

Published Notice of Intent To Prepare 

an Environmental Assessment 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is publishing this 

notice to advise the public of a 

modification to the Notice of Intent to 

Prepare an Environmental Assessment 

(EA) and notice of opportunity for 

public comment published in the 

Federal Register on April 21, 2014. 

Specifically, FAA is withdrawing a 

Terminal Area Apron Expansion Project 

from the scope of the EA, and the 

project will be subject instead to a 

discrete environmental review. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Parks Preston, Assistant Manager, 

Atlanta Airports District Office, 1701 

Columbia Avenue, Room 220, College 

Park, Georgia 30337–2747, (404) 305– 

6799. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Paulding 

Northwest Atlanta Airport (PUJ) is 

located outside Atlanta, Georgia, in the 

town of Dallas, Georgia. Paulding 

County and the Paulding County 

Airport Authority (PCAA) own the 

airport. PUJ opened in 2008 and is 

designated as a general aviation airport. 

An EA for the construction of PUJ was 

completed in 2005. The 2005 EA 

evaluated the future Terminal Area 

Apron Expansion. In 2011, PUJ owners 

redesigned the Terminal Area Apron 

Expansion and conducted a 

supplemental environmental assessment 

(SEA) to consider potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the revised project. The Georgia 

Department of Transportation (GDOT), 

as authorized by the FAA’s State Block 

Grant Program, issued a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI), and the 

FAA issued a Record of Decision on the 

SEA in March 2011. 

In September 2013, the PCAA 

submitted an application to the FAA 

requesting an Airport Operating 

Certificate under title 14 Code of 

Regulations, Part 139. A Part 139 

Airport Operating Certificate allows the 

airport to accommodate scheduled 

passenger-carrying operations, 

commonly referred to as ‘‘commercial 

service.’’ In November 2013, several 

Paulding County residents filed a 

Petition for Review in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the District of 

Columbia of two categorical exclusions 

issued by GDOT for airfield 

improvement projects. The petitioners 

argued that the two projects were 

connected to the proposed introduction 

of commercial service at PUJ. On 

December 23, 2013, the petitioners and 

the FAA entered into a settlement 

agreement under which the FAA agreed 

to prepare, at a minimum, an EA for the 

proposed Part 139 Airport Operating 

Certificate and all connected actions. 

The FAA is currently in the process of 

preparing that EA (current EA). While 

the settlement agreement contemplated 

that the current EA would include all 

actions connected with the proposed 

issuance of the Part 139 Airport 

Operating Certificate, the FAA opted to 

include in the current EA all reasonably 

foreseeable airport improvement 

projects, whether or not connected with 

the proposed introduction of 

commercial service. 

On April 21, 2014, the FAA published 

a ‘‘Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment and Notice 

of Opportunity for Public Comment’’ in 

the Federal Register, 79 FR 22177. The 

Notice of Intent identified all of the 

projects intended to be reviewed in the 

EA, including ‘‘construct[ion of] a 

terminal area expansion to provide 

hangars and apron area’’ which is the 

Terminal Area Apron Expansion 

Project. FAA Order 1050.1F, 

Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures, requires that where major 

steps toward implementation of the 

proposed action have not commenced 

within 3 years from the date of the 

issuance of an environmental finding, 

further environmental review is 

required. The current EA was to include 

the Terminal Area Apron Expansion 

Project because major steps toward 

implementation of the project had not 

been undertaken since the issuance of 

the FONSI in March 2011. 

PUJ owners now desire to move 

forward with the Terminal Area Apron 

Expansion Project more expeditiously 

than will be possible if the project 

remains within the scope of the current 

EA. The primary need for expediting 

this project is the approaching 

expiration of a permit for the project 

issued by the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers under section 404 of the 

Clean Water Act. 

In accordance with FAA Order 

1050.1F, where major steps toward 

implementation of a proposed action 

have not commenced within 3 years 

from the date of the issuance of a 

FONSI, a written reevaluation may be 

prepared. In this case, the general 

aviation apron has independent utility, 

is not connected to the Part 139 Airport 

Operating Certificate, and is therefore 

not required by the National 

Environmental Policy Act or the terms 

of the 2013 settlement agreement to be 

included in the EA. Accordingly, the 

current EA will no longer consider 

direct impacts of the Terminal Area 

Apron Expansion Project, but will 

address potential cumulative impacts 

associated with the project. 

To satisfy the requirements of FAA 

Order 1050.1F, GDOT has prepared a 

written reevaluation of the project, and 

FAA concurred. The written 

reevaluation is available for review at 

PUJ and online at http://

www.paulding.gov/DocumentCenter/ 

View/5935. 

Issued in Atlanta, Georgia, on August 28, 

2017.

Manager, Atlanta Airports District Office,

commitment by the FAA to financially 

assist in the disposal of the subject 

airport property nor a determination of
