Associate, Denton Office Manager Freese and Nichols, Inc 2220 San Jacinto Blvd, Suite 330 Denton, Texas 76205 940-220-4350 Office rgk@freese.com www.freese.com From: Salvitti, Jim [mailto:jsalvitti@teamlandmark.com] Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2011 11:59 AM To: Ron King Cc: Wiatrek, Matt Subject: FW: Aeronautical Study No. 2011-ASW-2947-OE - Question about process for completing FAA determination See below from Bruce. From: Bruce.Beard@faa.gov [mailto:Bruce.Beard@faa.gov] Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2011 11:46 To: Salvitti, Jim Cc: Wiatrek, Matt Subject: Re: Aeronautical Study No. 2011-ASW-2947-OE - Question about process for completing FAA determination 18-Jul-11 Public Solicited for comments Notice sent out to interested parties including airports within 13 miles of tank site Comments are due back by 24 Aug 11 This is correct. 24-Aug-11 Comment period ends and FAA evaluation begins FAA evaluation is conducting in accordance with “77.29 Evaluating aeronautical effect” The Addison airport (ADS) is solicited for comments during the evaluation period. Question; are other airports solicited for comments or has this requirement been satisfied by the public notice? Also, I assume that any public comments are addressed during this evaluation. Is this a correct assumption? All public-use airports within 13 NM of the site are sent the public notice. If the proposal has not impact on their airport, we never get any type of response from these airports. All public comments are evaluated to determine if the comments are aeronautical in nature or simply personal in nature. All comments are acknowledged in our final determination letter. This process is estimated to take 40 days to complete, however, this process may take longer. Question; is there a maximum time for completion? The “Notice of presumed hazard” states that the formal aeronautical study requires a minimum of 90-120 days. The time period goes like this, public notice is issued, with comments due in 37 days. Once the final determination is issued, it does not become final until 40 days after the date of the determination. This allows anyone who commented on the public notice to petition FAA HQ to review the determination. I plan on issuing the determination just a day or two after it comes off public notice.
