Needs and Uses: 14 CFR part 380
establishes the regulations of the
Department’s terms and conditions
governing Public Charter operators to
conduct air transportation using direct
air carriers. Public Charter operators

arrange transportation for groups of
people on chartered aircraft. This
arrangement is less expensive for the
travelers than individually buying a
ticket. Part 380 exempts charter
operators from certain provisions of the
U.S. code in order that they may
provide this service. A primary goal of
part 380 is to seek protection for the
consumer. Accordingly, the rule
stipulates that the charter operator must
file evidence (a prospectus—consisting
of OST Forms 4532, 4533, 4534 and
4535) with the Department for each
charter program certifying that it has
entered into a binding contract with a
direct air carrier to provide air
transportation and that it has also
entered into agreements with
Department-approved financial
institutions for the protection of charter
participants’ funds. The prospectus
must be approved by the Department
prior to the operator’s advertising,
selling or operating the charter. If the
prospectus information were not
collected it would be extremely difficult
to assure compliance with agency rules
and to assure that public security and
other consumer protection requirements
were in place for the traveling public.
The information collected is available
for public inspection (unless the
respondent specifically requests
confidential treatment). Part 380 does
not provide any assurances of
confidentiality.
Issued in Washington, DC, on July 21,
2009.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Notice of Cancellation of
Environmental Impact Statement for
the West Bend Municipal Airport, West
Bend, WI
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Cancellation of Environmental
Impact Statement Process.
The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces that is
has discontinued the preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for proposed development at West Bend
Municipal Airport, West Bend,
Wisconsin. The FAA is doing so
because the current proposed

development is not ripe for decision at
this time and lacks proper support and
justification in the near-term planning
period.
On September 6, 2006, the FAA–Great
Lakes Region, published in the Federal
Register a Notice of Intent to prepare an
EIS and conduct scoping meetings
(Volume 71, Number 172, FR 52608–
52609). The EIS and Scoping Meetings
addressed proposed construction of a
new 5,500 foot x 100 foot Runway 7/25
with full instrument landing system and
associated navigational aids at the
airport.
Other proposed development
included: Construction of a full parallel
taxiway for Runway 7/25, hangar area
development, land acquisition,
widening and rerouting of Highway 33
around the north side of the airport
between North Trenton Road and 4,000
feet east of North Oak Road. Two
government agency scoping meetings
were held on October 11, and October
19, 2006. The public scoping meeting
was held October 11, 2006.
The FAA has made little forward
progress in the EIS process due to
various external constraints and
obstacles associated with this airport
and proposed development. The major
issues surrounding this proposed
development are: Lack of justification to
support the purpose of and need for
proposed project; many acres of high
quality wetland impacts; airport
(airfield) and physical (natural feature)
site constraints; Federal and State
Resource Agency opposition; and
economic downturn in aircraft demand,
operations and loss of based aircraft. As
such, the FAA is hereby canceling the
EIS process.
