the Board's first PFC application. However, on September 26, 1994, the
Board amended their first application and deleted this project. The
Board justified deleting this project in the amendment, stating that it
could not begin implementation within the regulatory timeframe due to
the need to complete a master plan update and address local community
concerns. Given the nature [[Page 13750]] of the community concerns
cited by the Board in its amendment, the FAA has no assurance that the
project will be implemented until the community involvement and all
other concerns associated with the ongoing master plan update are
addressed. Therefore, the FAA is disapproving this project at this
time.
