SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 2, 2002, FAA issued Record of 
Decision; Airside Improvements Planning Project; Logan International 
Airport; Boston, Massachusetts. This Record of Decision covered 
projects proposed by the Massachusetts Port Authority and 
environmentally assessed in an Environmental Impact Statement of the 
Airside Improvements Planning Project. FAA approved the following 
projects: (1) Construction and operation of unidirectional Runway 14-
32, (2) reconfiguration of the southwest corner taxiway system, (3) 
extension of Taxiway Delta, and (4) realignment of Taxiway November. 
FAA deferred a decision concerning the Centerfield Taxiway until FAA 
conducted an additional evaluation of potential beneficial operational 
procedures that would preserve or improve the operational and 
environmental benefits of the Centerfield Taxiway shown in the Final 
EIS. This additional evaluation was completed with the publication of 
Logan International Airport; Additional Taxiway Evaluation Report; Per 
FAA August 2, 2002, Record of Decision; May 2006; and this draft 
written reevaluation. The taxiway evaluation report and Draft Written 
Reevaluation are available on request (781-238-7602) or on FAA's public 
Web site (http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic). After considering 
input from the Massachusetts Port Authority, FAA has decided to 
establish an additional comment period in order to permit more thorough 
public participation. The new comment period for the Draft Written 
Reevaluation will close on September 22, 2006. Comments should be 
mailed to FAA at the above address under the heading: FOR FURTHER
