SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Northwest Mountain Region of the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
as lead agency and the National Park
Service (NPS) and Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) as a cooperating
agencies have prepared a Draft
Supplemental Environmental Impact
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
Statement (Draft SEIS) and Section 4(f)
Evaluation to address issues arising
from the 1993 10th Circuit U.S. Court of
Appeals Decision concerning the
development of Cal Black Memorial
Airport. The U.S. National Park Service
(NPS) and Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) are cooperating agencies, by
virtue of their jurisdictional authority
and/or resource management
responsibilities. This Draft SEIS and
Section 4(f) Evaluation does not involve
any new development or project at the
airport. The Cal Black Memorial Airport
opened in April 1992.
Halls Crossing Airport was located
within the boundary of the Glen Canyon
National Recreation Area, a unit of the
National Park Service (NPS). Due to
safety issues with that airport, an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
was prepared concerning the
development of a replacement airport.
In 1990, the FAA issued a Draft and
Final EIS for the development of a
replacement Airport. In August 1990,
the FAA issued a record of decision
approving the development of Cal Black
Memorial Airport. The FAA determined
in the record of decision that the use of
the BLM lands upon which the airport
was built was reasonably necessary for
the project. Accordingly, the BLM
issued a Patent for the airport land to
San Juan County on September 25,
1990. In reaching its approval, the FAA
determined that no significant impacts
would result from the new airport to the
recreational experience of visitors to the
recreational area.
In 1990, the National Parks and
Conservation Association (NPCA), et al.
brought suit against the FAA concerning
the adequacy of the EIS and the
adequacy of the BLM Plan Amendment
and land transfer process. In its July 7,
1993, decision, the U.S. Court of
Appeals, 10th Circuit, remanded the EIS
decision back to the FAA and BLM for
further environmental analysis of
aircraft noise impacts to the recreational
use of public lands and the BLM’s plan
amendment and transfer of land.
On November 17, 2008 the BLM
issued the Monticello Field Office
Record of Decision and Approved
Resource Management Plan. The
document provides guidance for the
management of Federal lands
administered by the BLM in San Juan
County and a small portion of Grant
County in southeast Utah and includes
provisions for the disposal of the Cal
Black Memorial Airport property.
Thus, the purpose of the Draft SEIS
and Section 4(f) Evaluation is to address
the requirements of the U.S. Court of
Appeals findings. The scope of the Draft
SEIS and Section 4(f) Evaluation
PO 00000
Frm 00114
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
includes: (1) The measurement of actual
aircraft noise levels in GCNRA and
visitor survey, (2) an updated evaluation
of existing and future aircraft noise
levels; (3) a Section 4(f) evaluation using
the updated noise analysis; and (4) an
analysis on potential cumulative effects.
The FAA encourages all interested
parties to provide comments concerning
the scope and content of the Draft SEIS.
Comments should be as specific as
possible and address the analysis of
potential environmental impacts and
the adequacy of the proposed action.
Reviewers should organize their
participation so that it is meaningful
and makes the agency aware of the
viewer’s interests and concerns using
quotations and other specific references
to the text of the Draft SEIS and related
documents. Matters that could have
been raised with specificity during the
comment period on the Draft SEIS may
not be considered if they are raised for
the first time later in the decision
process. This commenting procedure is
intended to ensure that substantive
comments and concerns are made
available to the FAA in a timely manner
so that the FAA has the opportunity to
address them.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, be advised that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold from public review your
personal identifying information, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
