summary: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is issuing this 
notice to advertise to the public that the environmental impact 
statement for the proposed extension of Runway 9L-27R to 10,000 feet at 
Palm Beach International Airport has been terminated. The FAA will 
continue the environmental process for the proposed extension of Runway 
9L-27R to 10,000 feet as an environmental assessment (EA). This is 
consistent with the previous Notice of Intent which was published in 
the Federal Register on March 12, 1996, as well as within the 
information presented during scoping.

for further information contact: Mr. Bart Vernace, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Orlando Airports District Office, 5950 Hazeltine 
National Drive, Suite 400, Orlando, Florida 32822, (407) 812-6331, 
extension 27.

supplementary information: This notice announces that the FAA will 
terminate the Environmental Impact Statement and continue the 
environmental process as an Environmental Assessment for a proposed 
project to lengthen Runway 9L-27R at the Palm Beach International 
Airport (PBI) to 10,000 feet for air carrier aircraft use. The decision 
to terminate the EIS and continue the environmental process as an EA 
was based on the preliminary environmental analysis which depicted no 
significant impact in any environmental impact category. The Palm Beach 
County Department of Airports will prepare the draft EA document, make 
the draft EA document available to the public and governmental agencies 
for comment, offer the opportunity for a public hearing and submit the 
EA document to the FAA for the appropriate environmental decision.

heading, for further information contact.
