What this outcome means
The FAA sent the case back to the filer rather than issuing a determination. This is the most common non-clean outcome and usually means something has to change or be supplied before the study can finish — not that the project was refused.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"Crane being used to swap out HVAC units on an existing control tower. Temporary mobile crane required to remove and replace HVAC equipment at the South Bend Airport Air Traffic Control Tower under FAA Contract 697DCK-25-C-00267. No new construction of the tower or facility is occurring."
