Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The information requested will be 

used to support entry of the name of a 

minor (an unmarried, unemancipated 

person under 18 years of age) into the 

Children’s Passport Issuance Alert 

Program (CPIAP). CPIAP provides a 

mechanism for parents or other persons 

with legal custody of a minor to obtain 

information regarding whether the 

Department has received a passport 

application for the minor. This program 

was developed as a means to prevent 

international parental child abduction 

and to help prevent other travel of a 

minor without the consent of a parent 

or legal guardian. If a minor’s name and 

other identifying information has been 

entered into the CPIAP, when the 

Department receives an application for 

a new, replacement, or renewed 

passport for the minor, the application 

may be placed on hold for up to 90 days 

and the Office of Children’s Issues may 

attempt to notify the requestor of receipt 

of the application. Form DS–3077 will 

be primarily submitted by a parent or 

legal guardian of a minor. This 

collection is authorized by 22 CFR 

51.28, which is the regulation that 

implements the statutory two-parent 

consent requirement and prescribes the 

bases for an exception to the 

requirement. 

Methodology 

The completed Form DS–3077 can be 

filled out online and printed or 

completed by hand. The form must be 

manually signed and submitted to the 

Office of Children’s Issues by email, fax 

or mail with supporting documentation.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Compatibility Program for San 

Carlos Airport, San Mateo County, 

California 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of approval. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

findings on the San Carlos Airport noise 

compatibility program submitted by San 

Mateo County, San Mateo County, 

California. These findings are made in 

recognition of the description of Federal 

and nonfederal responsibilities in a 

Senate Report. On April 23, 2019, the 

FAA determined that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by San Mateo County 

were in compliance with applicable 

requirements. On December 15, 2020 

the FAA approved the San Carlos 

Airport Noise Compatibility Program 

(NCP). The 5 (five) program elements 

recommended in the NCP were 

approved. No program elements relating 

to new or revised flight procedures for 

noise abatement were proposed by the 

airport sponsor. 

DATES: The effective date of the FAA’s 

approval of the San Carlos Airport noise 

compatibility program is December 15, 

2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA has 

given its overall approval to the noise 

compatibility program for San Carlos 

Airport, effective December 15, 2020. 

Under section 47504 of title 49 United 

States Code (U.S.C.) (the Aviation Safety 

and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘the Act’’), an airport 

operator who has previously submitted 

a noise exposure map may submit to the 

FAA a noise compatibility program 

which sets forth the measures taken or 

proposed by the airport operator for the 

reduction of existing non-compatible 

land uses and prevention of additional 

non-compatible land uses within the 

area covered by the noise exposure 

maps. The Act requires such programs 

to be developed in consultation with 

interested and affected parties including 

local communities, government 

agencies, airport users, and FAA 

personnel. 

Each airport noise compatibility 

program developed in accordance with 

14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

part 150 (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘part 

150’’) is a local program, not a Federal 

program. The FAA does not substitute 

its judgment for that of the airport 

proprietor with respect to which 

measures should be recommended for 

action. The FAA’s approval or 

disapproval of part 150 program 

recommendations is measured 

according to the standards expressed in 

part 150 and the Act and is limited to 

the following determinations: 

a. The noise compatibility program 

was developed in accordance with the 

provisions and procedures of part 150; 

b. Program measures are reasonably 

consistent with achieving the goals of 

reducing existing non-compatible land 

uses around the airport and preventing 

the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses; 

c. Program measures would not create 

an undue burden on interstate or foreign 

commerce, unjustly discriminate against 

types or classes of aeronautical uses, 

violate the terms of airport grant 

agreements, or intrude into areas 

preempted by the Federal Government; 

and 

d. Program measures relating to the 

use of flight procedures can be 

implemented within the period covered 

by the program without derogating 

safety, adversely affecting the efficient 

use and management of the navigable 

airspace and air traffic control systems, 

or adversely affecting other powers and 

responsibilities of the Administrator 

prescribed by law. 

Specific limitations with respect to 

FAA’s approval of an airport noise 

compatibility program are delineated in 

§ 150.5. Approval is not a determination 

concerning the acceptability of land 

uses under Federal, state, or local law. 

Approval does not by itself constitute an 

FAA implementing action. A request for 

Federal action or approval to implement 

specific noise compatibility measures 

may be required. Prior to an FAA 

decision on a request to implement the 

action, an environmental review of the 

proposed action may be required. 

Approval does not constitute a 

commitment by the FAA to financially 

assist in the implementation of the 

program nor a determination that all 

measures covered by the program are 

eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the 

FAA. Where Federal funding is sought, 

requests for project grants must be 

submitted to the FAA San Francisco 

Airports District Office in the WesternPacific Region. 

The San Mateo County submitted 

their noise compatibility program to the 

FAA on May 29, 2020, including the 

noise exposure maps, descriptions and 

other documentation produced during 

the noise compatibility planning study 

conducted from April 20, 2017 through 

May 29, 2020. The San Carlos Airport 

noise exposure maps were determined 

by FAA to be in compliance with 

applicable requirements on April 23, 

2019. Notice of this determination was 

published in the Federal Register (84 

FR 21893) on May 15, 2019. 

The noise exposure maps are based on 

operational data that is now over five 

years old. FAA received certification, in 

accordance with § 150.21, that the noise 

exposure maps are representative of 

conditions at the airport for the existing 

and forecast timeframe as of the date of 

August 31, 2018. Due to the aircraft 

operational and fleet mix changes since 

2019, at the airport, FAA recommends 

that San Mateo County review, revise, 

and update, as appropriate the future 

noise exposure maps under § 150.21 at 

the earliest opportunity. 

The San Carlos Airport noise 

compatibility planning study contains a 

proposed noise compatibility program 

comprised of actions designed for 

phased implementation by San Mateo 

County through the year 2027. It was 

requested that the FAA evaluate and 

approve this material as a noise 

compatibility program as described in 

section 47504 of the Act. The FAA 

began its review of the program on July 

30, 2020, and was required by a 

provision of the Act to approve or 

disapprove the program within 180 days 

(other than the use of new or modified 

flight procedures for noise control). 

Failure to approve or disapprove such 

program within the 180-day period shall 

be deemed to be an approval of such 

program. 

The submitted program contained 5 

(five) proposed program elements for 

land use management and program 

management. The FAA completed its 

review and determined that the 

procedural and substantive 

requirements of the Act and part 150 

have been satisfied. The overall program 

was approved by the FAA, effective 

December 15, 2020. 

Outright approval was granted for the 

5 (five) program elements. The approved 

elements include: Land Use 

Management Elements (1) Encourage 

Redwood City to incorporate project 

review guidelines into their 

development review process, and (2) 

Encourage the San Mateo County 

Airport Land Use Commission to 

incorporate 2022 noise exposure 

contours into San Carlos Airport’s 

Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan 

(ALUCP) until an updated 20-year 

forecast can be implemented; and 

Program Management Elements (3) 

Continue use of the Airport’s noise 

complaint handling system, (4) Update 

Noise Exposure Maps and Noise 

Compatibility Program, and (5) Monitor 

implementation of the part 150 Noise 

Compatibility Program. 

These determinations are set forth in 

detail in a Record of Approval signed by 

the Director, Office of Airports, 

Western-Pacific Region on December 15, 

2020. The Record of Approval, as well 

as other evaluation materials and the 

documents comprising the submittal, 

are available for review at the FAA 

website at: http://www.faa.gov/airports/ 

environmental/airport_noise/part_150/ 

states/ and San Mateo County website
