The Clark County Department of Aviation (CCDOA), the owner of Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), is proposing the development and operation of the Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport (SNSA) in Clark County, Nevada. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) are Joint Lead Agencies (JLA) for preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and will do so in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42 United States Code [U.S.C.] § 4321 et seq.). BLM has also determined that it will evaluate the need for a Resource Management Plan Amendment (RMPA) for this project, and as a result the document will be a combined EIS/RMPA. The RMPA to modify the Visual Resource Management (VRM) class is being considered in order for the BLM to evaluate the established Ivanpah Transportation and Utilities Corridor, which will require amending the existing 1998 Las Vegas Resource Management Plan (RMP). The EIS/RMPA will be prepared in accordance with the NEPA, FAA Order 1050.1, FAA Order 5050.4B, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Implementing Instructions for Airport Actions, Department of the Interior Implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act 43 CFR Part 46, BLM’s NEPA Handbook H 1790-1, Resource Management Planning 43 CFR § 1610.2, BLM’s land use planning regulations cited in 43 CFR Part 1600, BLM Land Use Planning (LUP) Handbook H-1601-1, as well as other special purpose laws.
