DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Notice of Availability of the Record of
Decision (ROD) for the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (Final
EIS) for the Development and
Expansion of Runway 9R/27L and
Other Associated Airport Projects at
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood
International Airport (FLL), Broward
County, FL, Published in June 2008
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), U.S. Department
of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of Availability of Record
of Decision (ROD).
SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice
to advise the public that it has issued a
ROD for the Final EIS that evaluated the
proposed expansion of Runway 9R/27L
and other associated airport projects at
FLL. Broward County, the Airport
Sponsor, owns and operates FLL. The
Airport Sponsor has proposed airport
development at FLL to address existing
and forecast aviation demand. This ROD
provides final agency determinations
and approvals for those federal actions
by the FAA necessary for the proposed
airport projects.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
has completed and is publishing its
E:\FR\FM\09JAN1.SGM
09JAN1
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 6 / Friday, January 9, 2009 / Notices
ROD for the proposed expansion of
Runway 9R/27L and other associated
airport projects at FLL. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
published a notice of availability of the
Final EIS for this proposed airport
project in the Federal Register on June
27, 2008. The Final EIS was prepared in
compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) [42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.], the
implementing regulations of the Council
on Environmental Quality (CEQ) [40
CFR Parts 1500–1508] and FAA
directives [Order 1050.1E and Order
5050.4B], and assessed the potential
impacts of eight runway development
alternatives, as well as the No Action
Alternative. The FAA accepted
comments on the Final EIS and these
comments, along with the FAA’s
responses, are included in Appendix A
of the ROD. The FAA identified
Alternative B1b as its preferred
alternative in the Final EIS and selected
alternative in the ROD.
The selected alternative B1b includes
the expansion of Runway 9R/27L to an
overall length of 8,000 feet and width of
150 feet with an Engineered Materials
Arresting System (EMAS) at both
runway ends. The runway extends to
the east without encroaching onto NE
7th Avenue and would be elevated over
the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway
and U.S. Highway 1. The western extent
of the runway is the Dania Cut-Off
Canal. The selected alternative includes
the following: construct a new fulllength parallel taxiway 75 feet wide on
the north side of Runway 9R/27L with
separation of 400 feet from 9R/27L;
construct an outer dual parallel taxiway
that would be separated from the
proposed north side parallel taxiway by
276 feet; construct connecting taxiways
from the proposed full-length parallel
taxiway to existing taxiways; construct
an Instrument Landing System (ILS) for
landings on Runways 9R and 27L;
Runway ends 9R and 27L would have
a Category I ILS, which includes a
Medium Intensity Approach Light
System with runway alignment
indicator lights (MALSR), localizer, and
glideslope.
Runway 13/31 would be
decommissioned and permanently
closed due to the increased elevation of
the expanded Runway 9R/27L at its
intersection with Runway 13/31. The
terminal redevelopment envelope can
accommodate a total of 67 to 77 gates
and would accommodate the FAAforecast levels of passenger-related
activity through 2020. The terminal
redevelopment envelope accommodates
the potential redevelopment of
Terminals 2, 3, and 4 including aircraft

parking positions, taxilanes, and remote
parking positions. During project
design, the Airport Sponsor will
consider the refinement of airfield and
terminal area elements that include the
design, location, and number of taxiway
exits, aircraft holding pads, and runway
access areas.
Connected actions associated with the
selected alternative include: close
Airport Perimeter Road located within
the approach to Runway 9R; relocate
Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR–9);
acquire all, or a portion, of the Hilton
Fort Lauderdale Airport Hotel (formerly
the Wyndham Fort Lauderdale Airport
Hotel); acquire all, or a portion, of the
Dania Boat Sales.
The FAA is granting approval to
amend the airport layout plan (ALP)
with the conditions noted in Section 8
of the ROD, Conditions of Approval, for
the projects summarized in Section 1 of
the ROD, Description of Airport
Sponsor’s Proposed Action, which
constitutes the selected alternative in
the ROD—FAA’s Preferred Alternative
(B1b).
Paper copies and CD copies of the
ROD are available for review at various
libraries in Broward County, the FAA
Headquarters Office in Washington, D.C.
and its Southern Regional Office in
College Park, Georgia and Airports
District Office in Orlando, Florida and
at the administrative offices of the City
of Cooper City, City of Dania Beach, City
of Fort-Lauderdale, City of Hollywood,
City of Lauderhill, City of Pembroke
Pines, City of Plantation, City of
Sunrise, and the Town of Davie, as well
as the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood
International Airport. The addresses and
telephone numbers for these locations
are provided in the Final EIS, in Chapter
Nine.

County’s airport Web site: https://
