SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In October 1999 the FAA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) approving actions associated with proposed improvments to the Sikorsky Memorial Airport, Stratford, Connecticut. That ROD was based on information and analysis contained in a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) that the FAA issued in May 1999. No action was taken on the October 1999 ROD. Recently, the FAA evaluated the suitability of applying the May 1999 FEIS to a substantially similar project at Sikorsky Memorial Airport involving Runway Safety Areas and other airfield improvements. This Written Re-Evaluation documents the FAA's assessment of the suitability of using the information and analysis in the May 1999 FEIS for the current project.

A Record of Decision is anticipated, no sooner than 30 days from this notice.

Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts, on July 1, 2011.

Acting Manager, Airports Division.
