Intent To Prepare Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement; 
Cal Black Memorial Airport, Halls Crossing, UT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The Northwest Mountain Region of the FAA announces: its intent 
to prepare Draft and Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statements 
(SEIS) for further study of potential noise impacts associated with 
operation of Cal Black Memorial Airport at Halls Crossing, Utah and 
that the Federal SEIS scoping process will consist of a time period for 
interested agencies and persons to submit written comments as to their 
concerns regarding potential noise impacts upon areas surrounding the 
airport and how those impacts could be addressed in the Draft SEIS.

DATES: In order to be considered, written comments must be received by 
Mr. Dennis G. Ossenkop, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports 
Division, 1601 Lind Ave. S.W., Renton, WA 98055-4056, Telephone: (206) 
277-2611 on or before June 30, 1995.
    Questions concerning the draft SEIS or the process being applied by 
the FAA in connection with this study should also be directed to Mr. 
Ossenkop.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This SEIS is being prepared in response to 
the court's decision in National Parks and Conservation Association v. 
F.A.A., 988 F.2d 1523 (10th Cir., 1993), which reserved the agency's 
determination of no significant impact from airport operations on 
visitors to surrounding recreational areas, and remanded the matter 
back to the agency for further analysis. Information, data, views and 
comments obtained in the course of the SEIS scoping process may be used 
in the preparation of the draft SEIS. The purpose of this notice is to 
inform the public and state, local and Federal governmental agencies of 
the fact that a draft SEIS will be prepared and to provide those 
interested in doing so with an opportunity to present their views, 
comments, information, data, or other relevant observations concerning 
the potential noise impacts on surrounding recreational areas, related 
to the operation of Cal Black Memorial Airport. It is not the intent of 
FAA to revisit any other environmental issue evaluated in the 1990 EIS, 
in this SEIS.

related to the construction of the airport can be reviewed at the
