The Friedman Memorial Airport Authority (FMAA), owner and operator of the Friedman Memorial Airport (the Airport or SUN) is proposing to replace the existing Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) at the Freidman Memorial Airport (SUN or Airport). The existing federal contract ATCT at SUN is located within the Runway Object Free Area (ROFA) and Part 77 transitional surface.

In accordance with its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) required SUN to complete an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the replacement ATCT. During the EA process, SUN and its airport consultant evaluated the environmental, economic, and social impacts of the proposed development according to the FAA’s guidance and thresholds of significance. No significant impacts were identified. The results of the analysis are published in the Draft EA document, which is available for public review through February 13, 2026, at the link at left. Printed copies of the EA can be made available upon request. All substantive comments submitted through the online comment form below will be addressed in the Final EA.
