DOT&PF proposes boundary crossing permit at Nome City Field

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities has filed a public notice proposing a boundary crossing permit at Nome City Field Airport (FAA LID: 94Z), one nautical mile north of Nome's central business district. The permit, identified as ADA-72936, would authorize Aaron R. Burmeister to taxi aircraft from private property across airport property at an authorized boundary crossing area approximately 60 feet wide.

The notice lists the authorized use as aeronautical residential use and sets an annual fee of $399, plus any other associated fees. The permit would be issued under Alaska Administrative Code 17 AAC 45.285, the state regulation governing boundary crossing permits at state-owned airports. Nome City Field is owned and operated by DOT&PF's Northern Region.

Written comments or objections must be received by 4:30 p.m. on July 31, 2026.

Context

Boundary crossing permits are one tool DOT&PF uses to manage private aeronautical access across state airport property lines. Fees vary by permit and location; a boundary crossing permit noticed at McGrath Airport, for example, carried an annual fee of $2,704.46. DOT&PF's Statewide Real Estate and Right-of-Way office is responsible for the policies and procedures that govern permits such as boundary crossings at airports statewide.
