SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In December 2004, the Los Angeles City 
Council approved the Master Plan for Los Angeles International Airport 
(LAX). From this Master Plan, the City of Los Angeles, through its 
Airport Department--Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), prepared an 
Airport Layout Plan (ALP). The ALP depicts the existing and planned 
future locations of runways, taxiways, aircraft parking aprons, 
terminal buildings and other associated facilities on the airport. At 
the time the ALP was prepared, the LAWA's and Federal Aviation 
Administration's (FAA) focus was on airfield safety to reduce runway 
incursions. A minor component of the Master Plan included aircraft 
maintenance. The ALP depicts various existing hangar buildings to be 
demolished and aircraft maintenance to be consolidated into the 
southwest quadrant of the airport on the east side of a north/south 
taxiway called ``Taxiway AA.''
    LAWA proposes to adjust its LAX ALP to depict the proposed West 
Aircraft Maintenance Area (WAMA) on the west side of Taxiway AA rather 
than the east side as originally proposed in the 2005 Final EIS. In May 
2014, the FAA prepared a Draft Written Reevaluation for a minor 
adjustment to a project evaluated in its 2005 Final Environmental 
Impact Statement (EIS) for the LAX Master Plan pursuant to the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
    FAA made the Draft Written Reevaluation available to the public and 
governmental agencies for review and comment from April 25 through May 
30, 2014. FAA did not receive any comments on the Draft Written 
Reevaluation.
    Copies of the Final Written Reevaluation and Record of Decision are 
available for public inspection at the following locations during 
normal business hours:
