Notice of Availability of a Record of Decision (ROD) and Order 
for a Written Re-evaluation of Final Environmental Impact Statement 
(FEIS) for the Development and Expansion of Runway 9R-27L and 
Associated Projects at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International 
Airport

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a ROD and Order.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public that it 
has issued a ROD and Order for a Written Re-evaluation of the FEIS for 
the Development and Expansion of Runway 9R-27L and Associated Projects 
at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Broward County, 
Florida. The FEIS for the runway expansion project was issued in June 
2008. The FAA issued a ROD for this Federal action in December 2008. In 
July 2011, FAA approved a Written Re-evaluation and issued a ROD and 
Order for further refinements resulting from 60-percent design changes 
to the previously approved runway expansion. Broward County, the 
airport sponsor, has submitted a request to the FAA for approval of 
additional design refinements associated with engineering the new 
runway and taxiway system as construction of the previously approved 
project continues. These design changes include realignment of the 
Airport Perimeter Road on the southwest side of the airport, 
modification of an emergency navigational aid (NAVAID) access road on 
the east side of the airport, and the design to the NAVAID runway 
approach lighting system and the associated maintenance bridge. The 
current ROD and Order approves the engineering and design refinements 
to the previously approved project disclosed in the written re-
evaluation and as shown on the 2011 Airport Layout Plan.
