Notes
Petition for Review filed November 21, 2025 by the City of Burien, City of Des Moines, and City of SeaTac (Washington municipal corporations), represented by Steven M. Taber of Leech Tishman Nelson Hardiman, Inc., in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit under 49 U.S.C. § 46110 and FRAP Rule 15(a), seeking review of the FAA’s FONSI/ROD signed September 24, 2025 — the “Finding of Significant Impact/Record of Decision for the Sustainable Airport Master Plan Near-Term Projects at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport” (SAMP). Respondents are the Federal Aviation Administration, Administrator Bryan Bedford, U.S. Department of Transportation, and Secretary Sean Duffy. The petition asserts Ninth Circuit jurisdiction because petitioners reside within the circuit, and argues timeliness under the 60-day filing period extended to Monday, November 24, 2025 because the 60th day fell on a Sunday.
