Notice of Availability, Final Environmental Impact Statement; 
Master Plan Update, Syracuse-Hancock International Airport, Syracuse, 
New York

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration.

    The City of Syracuse, Department of Aviation, owner and operator of 
Syracuse-Hancock International Airport, has prepared a Master Plan 
update for the airport. As part of the Plan, it was determined that a 
runway parallel to Runway 10-28 would be needed to accommodate the 
anticipated aviation demand and to allow for necessary temporary 
closures to existing Runway 10-28. The proposed project is the 
acquisition of approximately 220 acres of land located primarily 
northeast of the airport to provide a site for the construction of 
Runway 10L-28R parallel to, 3,600 ft. north of, and 1,400 ft. east of 
existing Runway 10-28.
    A Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) has been prepared by 
the FAA and the City of Syracuse which assesses the impact of 
alternative airport improvements. In the first phase of development, a 
runway 7,500 ft. long and 150 ft. wide would be constructed. In the 
second phase of development, the runway would be extended to an 
ultimate length of 9,000 ft. The 3,600 ft. lateral separation between 
the parallel runways would provide the capability to accommodate dual 
simultaneous ILS approaches to these runways.
    Copies of the FEIS are available for review at the following
