Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact, Record of Decision 
and Environmental Assessment for Proposed Actions Relating to a Noise 
Abatement Departure Procedure at Sarasota Bradenton International 
Airport

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration.

ACTION: Finding of no significant impact record of decision.

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

SUMMARY: On March 8, 2001, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
approved a Finding of No Significant Impact and Record of Decision 
(FONSI/ROD) for a proposed noise-abatement departure procedure at 
Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. The change in departure 
procedures was requested by the Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority to 
achieve noise level reductions over the neighboring community in 
Manatee County north of the airport. The proposed actions include 
turning aircraft departing Runway 32 over land-use areas northwest of 
the airport that are more compatible with the noise emissions of 
aircraft, and avoiding new significant residential noise impacts. The 
FONSI/ROD was approved after the FAA evaluated the potential benefits 
and impacts of nine alternatives in an Environmental Assessment.

    Issued in College Park, Georgia on March 8, 2001.
