BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Cancellation of Preparation 

of Environmental Impact Statement for 

Replacement General Aviation Airport, 

Mesquite, Clark County, Nevada 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of cancellation of 

preparation of Environmental Impact 

Statement. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces that it 

has discontinued preparation of an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for a construction of a Replacement 

General Aviation Airport for Mesquite, 

Nevada. On November 14, 2011, FAA 

published a notice of suspension of the 

EIS in the Federal Register (76 FR 

70530). The FAA received a letter dated 

September 27, 2011, from the City of 

Mesquite, Nevada asking the FAA to 

suspend any further work on the EIS. 

The reasons for this action include the 

local economic conditions in Mesquite 

and other local fiscal and budgetary 

constraints. The Mesquite Lands Act of 

1988 (the Act), as amended, provided 

land to the City of Mesquite for the 

replacement airport, expired on 

November 14, 2011 and was not 

extended or renewed by Congress. The 

original purpose and need for the 

proposed relocated airport no longer 

exists. The City of Mesquite, the owner 

and operator of the existing Mesquite 

Municipal Airport, has not included a 

replacement airport in its 5-year Airport 

Capital Improvement Program. As a 

result, FAA has determined the 

proposed replacement General Aviation 

Airport for Mesquite, Nevada is not ripe 

for decision at this time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 8, 2004, the Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) issued a Notice of 

Intent in the Federal Register (69 FR 

71097) to prepare an EIS for the 

proposed construction and operation of 

a Replacement General Aviation (GA) 

Airport, for the City of Mesquite, in 

eastern Clark County, Nevada. The City 

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 exiting 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
