Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and to Hold 
an Environmental Scoping Meeting for Cleveland Hopkins International 
Airport, Cleveland, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice to hold a public scoping meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is issuing this 
notice to advise the public that environmental documentation, including 
an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), will be developed to address 
environmental and related impacts expected with the proposed expansion 
of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Cleveland, Ohio.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ernest Gubry, Federal Aviation Administration, Detroit Airports 
District Office, Willow Run Airport, East, 8820 Beck Road, Belleville, 
Michigan 48111, 734-487-7280.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA will prepare an EIS concurrently 
with the finalization of a Master Plan for Cleveland Hopkins 
International Airport. Currently, the City of Cleveland has a proposal 
for the relocation and extension of Runway 5L/23R and the extension of 
Runway 5R. Associated with this development would be the relocation of 
Brook Park Road, development of new air traffic control procedures, and 
development of methods for providing noise compatibility with the 
surrounding communities. The EIS will also evaluate the cumulative 
impacts anticipated to occur as a result of the implementation of 
foreseeable future improvements at Cleveland Hopkins International 
Airport.
    Comments and suggestions are invited from federal, state, and local 
agencies, and other interested parties to ensure that the full range of 
issues related to these proposed projects are addressed and all 
significant issues are identified. Copies of materials to be evaluated
