Sawyer County Airport in Hayward,
Wisconsin.
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), in conjunction
with the Wisconsin Department of
Transportation Bureau of Aviation
(WisDOT BOA), have prepared a joint
Federal and State Draft Final
Environmental Assessment (DFEA) for
the Proposed Airport Development at
the Sawyer County Airport in Hayward,
Wisconsin. The FAA and WisDOT BOA
are making available the DFEA for the
following proposed airport
improvement projects: installation of an
instrument landing system (ILS) for
Runway 20 with medium approach
lighting system with runway alignment
indicator lights; construction of a
parallel taxiway/ramp expansion for
Runway 2/20; land acquisition; removal
of airspace obstructions, including
removal/relocation of a town road; and
relocation of precision approach path
indicator, localizer, and distance
measuring equipment at Runway 20.
The proposed airport improvement
projects include both state block
program actions and FAA actions.
Actions for the proposed airport
improvement project would be divided
between FAA and WisDOT BOA.
Agency approvals are required to
proceed. Proposed FAA actions include:
provide Federal environmental approval
to establish eligibility to participate in
Federal funding for eligible projects not
included in the state block grant
program which are assessed in the EA;
issue an environmental finding for FAA
actions; provide ILS equipment, assist
in the design of the proposed ILS;
perform the flight check, certification,
and operation of the proposed ILS; and
provide long-term maintenance of the
proposed ILS.
Proposed WisDOT BOA actions for
the airport improvement projects
include: issue an environmental finding
for WisDOT BOA’s actions; determine
eligibility of Airport Improvement
Program funds for the proposed ILS
project; approve the necessary funding
for the proposed ILS project; assist in
design of the proposed ILS; purchase
land for the proposed ILS; install the
proposed ILS; construct necessary
airport facilities to support proposed
ILS and airport operations; develop,
implement, and monitor required
mitigation for unavoidable impacts due
to the proposed ILS project.
The DFEA has been prepared in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended, FAA Order 1050.1E,
‘‘Policies and Procedures for
Considering Environmental Impacts,’’
E:\FR\FM\11FEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 11, 2009 / Notices
and FAA Order 5050.4B, ‘‘NEPA
Implementing Instructions for Airport
Actions.’’ The proposed action is
consistent with the National Airspace
System Plan prepared by the U.S.
Department of Transportation, FAA.
The DFEA will be available for public
review for 30 days at the following
locations:
Sherman and Ruth Weise Community
Library, 10788 Hwy 27/77, Hayward,

Background
The Sawyer County Airport currently
has non-precision instrument approach
capabilities. During inclement weather
with low visibility and low ceilings,
aircraft pilots may not be able to land
because they are unable to see the
landing runway as they approach to
land. Instrument flight rules (IFR)
regulate aircraft operations during
inclement weather under low visibility
and cloud ceilings. Under IFR
conditions, aircraft must use an
instrument approach to initiate the
landing process. The proposed ILS
would provide instrumentation that
would allow landings under IFR
conditions.
Medical transport pilots from several
companies use the Sawyer County
Airport on a regular basis. Medical
flights are not scheduled events; they
occur whenever a medical emergency
arises, good weather or bad. When
medical transports cannot land, it is
more than an inconvenience; it’s
typically a life-threatening situation. An
ILS at the Sawyer County Airport would
serve the purpose of increasing the

probability that those medical transports
could land whenever they were needed.

2009.
