Zeldin Statement in Response to FAA Announcement of North Shore Helicopter Route Public Forums | 2018-11-02 | 2018 | 2018-11 | Republican | House | NY | Lee Zeldin | Z000017 | zeldin.house.gov | legacy | PATCHOGUE, NY - Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) issued the following statement regarding today's Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) notification of the North Shore Helicopter Route public meetings: "My North Shore Helicopter Route legislation is the law of the land, and the FAA must abide by that. As the details of the FAA's public comment process come together, I will continue to hold their feet to the fire to ensure that every last voice is heard. The law requires a public hearing and public comment session. A workshop idea can very well compliment a public hearing, but there's no way it can or will be in lieu of a public hearing to receive oral testimony. That's not an option by law, by me, and for many others. The best path forward is an all water route over the Atlantic Ocean and it will be most important for impacted residents to submit oral and/or written testimony throughout this upcoming public comment period to ensure that this North Shore Helicopter Route is reassessed and a better bath forward is pursued." The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (H.R. 302), which included Rep. Zeldin's legislative proposal to require the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to reassess the North Shore Route (NSR) to address the noise impact on affected communities, improve altitude enforcement, and consider alternative routes, including an all water route over the Atlantic Ocean requires the FAA hold a public comment period and public hearing in the community for residents to voice their concerns. The FAA announced today that public meetings will be held at the following sites: November 13, 2018, 7-9 p.m. Cradle of Aviation Museum, Charles Lindbergh Blvd., Garden City, NY 11530 November 14, 2018, 7-9 p.m. Riverhead Middle School, 600 Harrison Avenue, Riverhead, NY 11901 November 15, 2018, 7-9 p.m. Vaughn College, 8601 23rd Ave, Flushing, NY 11369 Residents can submit their comments as part of the mandated public comment period, which ends on January 2, 2019, here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
