Notice of Availability of a Record of Decision (ROD) for a 
Written Re-evaluation of the Final Environmental Impact Statement 
(FEIS) for the Relocation of the Panama City-Bay County International 
Airport, Panama City, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), U.S. Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of availability of a Record of Decision (ROD).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public that it 
has issued a ROD for a Written Re-evaluation of the FEIS for the 
Relocation of the Panama City-Bay County International Airport, Panama 
City, Florida. The FEIS for the relocation of the airport was issued in 
May 2006. The FAA issued a ROD for this federal action in September 
2006. Airport facilities are currently being constructed at the new 
airport site. This ROD is issued for a Written Re-evaluation of the 
FEIS because the Panama City-Bay County Airport and Industrial District 
(Airport Sponsor) has proposed to extend the primary runway (Runway 
16L-34R) from 8,400 feet to 10,000 feet. This ROD approves the 
extension and other minor changes as shown on a revised Airport Layout 
Plan (ALP) that has been submitted to the FAA. Subsequent to this ROD, 
the FAA will conditionally approve the revised ALP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Copies of this ROD and Written Re-evaluation 
are available for public review at the following locations during 
normal business hours: Panama City-Bay County International Airport
