SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Aviation Administration 
published a Notice of Intent on June 1, 2001 to prepare and consider an 
EIS for implementation of proposed projects at the Juneau International 
Airport. Major projects proposed to be assessed in the EIS include: 
Creation of additional Runway Safety Area (RSA) centered about the 
runway that is 500 feet wide by the length of the runway plus 1,000 
feet beyond each runway end; installation of a Medium Approach Lighting 
System with Rails (MALRS) to improve the approach to Runway 26; 
construction of a Snow Removal Equipment Building to provide needed 
storage space for the snow removal fleet; and construction of 
additional Aviation Development Areas to provide adequate facilities to 
accommodate the growing demand and tourism needs of helicopters and 
fixed wing aircraft. Construction of an access road between the Fuel 
Tank Farm and the Airport will also be evaluated in the EIS.
    FAA has conducted initial public and interagency scoping meetings 
concerning the EIS and proposed actions, and has determined that 
additional time should be allowed for interested parties to submit 
written comments on the scope of the environmental study. Therefore, 
FAA will accept written comments through September 30, 2001. Comments 
may be submitted in writing to the address identified in FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT or through the comment submittal form found on the 
project web site at www.jnu-eis.org. An additional public meeting will 
be held in Juneau during the scoping comment period. Date and time for 
that meeting will be advertised in the daily Juneau Empire and on the 
project web site.
