SUBJECT: Unfinished Business, Item F.2, Consent to Sublease between Dan

" Sublessee shall use the premises for parking and for uses consistent with the lease

project and the FAA is reviewing the DBE and Small Business contract specifications.
Snow Removal Equipment (SRE) — The new Oshkosh Plow truck with attachments has
been ordered. Delivery will take approximately 10 months.
In- house:
Operations Staff: Staff is busy mowing, fixing gate and electrical problems, expanding
snow dumps, and preparing for the winter season. The operations staff is also
landscaping along Willow at the Kenai Operations Facility.
The heavy aquatic plant growth in the float plane basin is causing problems for aircraft.
Operations staff has been unsuccessful in attempts to control it. The USFW has
recommended draining the basin down to one foot of water and subjecting the plants to
a deep freeze to kill them. We can start re- filling the basin in December. If this fails, other
options are using chemicals or draining the water again and using heavy equipment to
scrape and remove the plant life.
Interviews will be conducted the week of October 131^ for the temporary equipment
operator positions at the airport.
The pre- winter snow and ice control operations meeting for Airport staff, users, tenants,

The Honorable Mark Begich
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Begich:
Office of the Administrator 800 Independence Ave., S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20591
Thank you for your July 28 letter about the status of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Regional Flight Surgeon's office in Anchorage, Alaska.
On the retirement of Dr. Willis Simmons, the Alaska Regional Flight Surgeon, the FAA Office
of Aerospace Medicine conducted a thorough business case analysis of the Alaska Regional
Medical Office. We have determined that a medical presence in Alaska is important and have no
plans to remove a physician from that office. There will continue to be an FAA flight surgeon
physically located in Alaska.
If I can be of further assistance, please contact me or Roderick D. Hall, Assistant Administrator
for Government and Industry Affairs, at (202) 267- 3277.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Huerta
Administrator

COMMI! T'LL' ON INDIAN AFFA:,S
I write today to ask you to keep the Alaska Regional Flight Surgeon's office open.
As you may know, the current Alaska Regional Flight Surgeon, Dr. Willis
Simmons, has retired. Dr. Simmons was well -liked and respected by the Alaska
aviation community. After many years of dedicated service, he will be missed.
It is imperative that in the wake of Dr. Simmon's retirement the FAA's Flight
Surgeon's office be kept open. I am concerned this position might be moved from
Alaska to Seattle or even further afield.
Alaska needs an Alaska Regional Flight Surgeon who understands Alaska. In
addition, it is critical that Alaska pilots, air traffic controllers, and aeromedical
examiners have direct and immediate access to a senior Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) physician who understands the unique flight environment
of our great state. I ask you not to move this important position away from
Alaska.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please follow up with Stef Claus on
my staff. You can reach her at (202) 224 -3004 or stef cIaus(t�,begich.senate. gov.
Thank you for your consideration.

Beeich Gets Results for Alaska Aviation Community
Safety, Fuel Efficiency, and Added Weather Cam
U.S. Senator Mark Begich welcomed today's news that the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) has reached an important milestone in its work to transition to unleaded aviation fuels,
noting this is one more recent win for the Alaska aviation community.
"I brought FAA Administrator Huerta to Alaska in May so that he could see for himself that
Washington D.C. policies aren't always a good fit for Alaska," said Begich. "He got an earful
from me and from the Alaska aviation community and, as a result, we are seeing real progress in
the transition to unleaded fuels, safety and continued access to the FAA flight surgeon in
Alaska."
Begich was responding to the FAA's announcement that it has selected four unleaded aviation
gasoline fuels for testing. This is a part of the FAA's attempt to remove lead from gasoline by
2018. The FAA has selected test unleaded aviation fuels from Shell, TOTAL, and Swift Fuels for
further testing. Testing will begin this fall and is expected to end in fall 2015. The FAA hopes
to have an unleaded option ahead of a 2018 deadline.
"The FAA must produce an aviation gasoline option that works for Alaska pilots. That means
any option must be safe, good for existing aircraft, and cost - competitive with current aviation
gasoline," said Begich.
As co -chair of the Senate General Aviation Caucus, Begich has been closely watching the fuel
transition process and has made it clear to FAA officials – including Administrator Michael
Huerta - that any replacement fuel product cannot adversely affect the Alaska aviation industry
in terms of cost, quality or availability. Because the new fuel must be able to withstand extreme
cold, Begich recommended that the new fuel be tested in Alaska.
"I've made it clear to the FAA that there must be a reasonable transition time for the new fuel —
some of the workhorses of the Alaska fleet are airplanes built in the 1940s and 1950s and even
those have many more years ahead of them," said Begich.

Today's announcement follows on the heels of the FAA decision last week, at Begich's request,
to keep the FAA regional flight surgeon's office in Anchorage (letter attached.) Begich had
expressed his concerns that the surgeon's office would be relocated after the retirement of Dr.
Willis Simpson, a concern that had been voiced by members of the Alaska aviation community.
Begich also recently learned that the FAA plans to install a weather camera at Merrill Pass East,
a notoriously dangerous area for pilots. Begich sent a letter requesting the camera in June. The
FAA will begin construction in Fiscal Year 2015. Begich has been a strong proponent of the
weather camera system to increase aviation safety in Alaska. Six weather cameras were installed
in Alaska in fiscal year 2014. There are now a total of 219 FAA Weather Camera facilities
serving Alaska's flying public.
