The Provincetown Municipal Airport Commission proposes a Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) of safety and facility improvements at the Provincetown Municipal Airport (Airport or PVC). Implementation of the CIP will fulfill the mission of the Airport to operate a safe, secure, and reliable non-hub primary service airport receiving scheduled airline passenger service. The Airport is located within the Cape Cod National Seashore (CCNS), on Outer Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The National Park Service and Federal Aviation Administration pursuant to the requirements of NEPA have made available for public review and comment the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR)/Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed Capital Improvements Plan at the municipal airport located in Provincetown, Massachusetts because NPS owns the land and permits the airport activity. This document considers 12 Airport improvements projects that are proposed for the Airport's Capital Improvements Program (CIP). The projects are listed below and descriptions and figures of the projects are provided in the EA. These projects are being considered in a single FEIR/EA to facilitate an integrated assessment of effects to the environment.
