Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 124 / Friday, June 27, 2014 / Notices 36577 

Commenters also noted some 

geographic areas in the NAS incur GPS 

signal interference more regularly than 

others due to U.S. Government testing. 

Under this policy, the FAA will 

ensure that at least one ground based 

IAP will remain at each airport. 

The FAA agrees that the adopted 

criteria must also consider GPS signal 

interference. Therefore, the FAA 

modifies this policy and adds the 

following as a factor to be considered: 

‘‘Airports located within an area 

routinely affected by GPS signal 

interference testing.’’ 

The DoD stated that if IAPs at a civil 

airport are extensively utilized by 

military aircraft for training and/or 

proficiency, these IAPs should be 

retained. Additionally, the DoD 

suggested that DoD facilities should be 

added to the list of airports that are not 

considered for NDB or VOR IAP 

cancellations. 

While this policy will not add DoD 

facilities to the list of airports that are 

not considered for NDB and VOR IAP 

cancellation, the FAA agrees to modify 

the policy so that IAPs used extensively 

by military aircraft for training and/or 

proficiency will remain in the National 

Airspace System. 

Policy 

After review and evaluation of the 

public comments received on the policy 

proposed in the Federal Register on 

August 2, 2013 (FAA–2013–0265), the 

FAA adopts the criteria for selecting 

potential IAPs for cancellation as 

proposed with two modifications based 

on the comments received. FAA adds 

the following to the list of consideration 

factors: ‘‘Airports located within an area 

routinely affected by GPS signal 

interference testing’’ and ‘‘Extensive use 

by the military for training and/or 

proficiency.’’ 

The NDB and VOR IAPs 

recommended for cancellation will be 

selected at airports using the adopted 

criteria. FAA notes that all airports 

having existing RNAV and groundbased IAPs will maintain at least one 

RNAV and one ground-based IAP under 

this initiative. 

Instrument Approach Procedures are 

incorporated by reference into Title 14 

of the Code of Federal Regulations part 

97, subpart C, and are promulgated by 

rulemaking procedures. Once the FAA 

identifies IAPs that may be cancelled in 

accordance with the adopted policy 

noted above, the FAA will follow 

standard rulemaking procedures 

including a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking in the Federal Register 

containing the list of NDB and VOR 

IAPs recommended for cancellation. 

The FAA will consider all public 

comments before issuing a Final Rule 

removing selected IAPs. 

Airports considered for NDB or VOR 

IAP cancellation: 

—All airports with an NDB IAP. 

—All airports with a VOR/DME RNAV 

IAP, unless it is the only IAP at the 

airport. 

—All airports with two or more groundbased IAPs and an RNAV IAP. 

—All airports with multiple, redundant 

ground-based IAPs (e.g., three VOR 

procedures). 

Additional factors for consideration 

in determining the list of potential 

candidates for NDB or VOR IAP 

cancellation: 

—Prevailing wind runways. 

—Prevailing runway alignment during 

adverse weather operations. 

—Runways with a published ILS IAP 

and a ground-based IAP. 

—For runways with multiple VOR and 

NDB IAPs consider IAPs with the 

lowest minimums (if minimums are 

within 20 feet of each other), and IAPs 

that allow for optimum use by all 

users. 

—Airports located within an area 

routinely affected by GPS signal 

interference testing 

—Extensive use by the military for 

training and/or proficiency. 

Airports not considered for NDB or 

VOR IAP cancellations: 

—Airports with only RNAV/RNP IAPs 

published. 

—Airports with only one ground-based 

procedure. 

—Airports will not be considered if 

cancellation would result in removing 

all IAPs from the airport.

Notice of Proposed Airport Access 

Restriction and Opportunity for Public 

Comment 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice; Request for Comment. 

SUMMARY: The Airport Noise and 

Capacity Act of 1990 (hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘the Act’’ or ‘‘ANCA’’) 

provides notice, review, and approval 

requirements for airports seeking to 

impose noise or access restrictions on 

Stage 3 aircraft operations that become 

effective after October 1, 1990. 49 U.S.C. 

47521 et seq. This notice is issued 

pursuant to ANCA and 14 CFR 

161.315(b). 

The Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA) announces that it has determined 

the application for an airport noise and 

access restriction submitted by the Los 

Angeles World Airports (LAWA) for Los 

Angeles International Airport (LAX) 

under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47524 

of the ANCA, and 14 CFR part 161, to 

be complete. The LAWA application 

seeks approval to adopt a new 

ordinance that would require all aircraft 

operators to comply with prevailing 

flows whenever LAX is in Over-Ocean 

or Westerly Operations from midnight 

to 6:30 a.m. The determination of 

completeness is not an approval or 

disapproval of the proposed airport 

access restriction. FAA will review the 

application, public comments, and any 

other information obtained under 

§ 161.137(b) and issue a decision 

approving or disapproving the proposed 

restriction. FAA intends to issue its 

decision by November 8, 2014. 

Public Comments: Interested parties 

are invited to file comments on the 

application. Comments are due 30 days 

after the publication of this notice in the

On March 28, 2013 LAWA stated its 

intent to revise the Part 161 application 

and resubmit it for further review. On 

July 5, 2013 FAA received a 

‘‘Supplemental Analysis’’ from LAWA 

that supplemented their initial 

application. The FAA reviewed the 

Supplemental Analysis and determined 

it to be incomplete. Notice of this 

decision was sent to LAWA on August 

2. The areas of Airport Noise Study Area 

and Noise Contours; Technical Data 

Supporting Noise Impact Analysis; and 

Cost—Benefit Analysis continued to be 

incomplete. On August 20, 2013 LAWA 

stated its intent to revise the Part 161 

application and resubmit it to the FAA. 

On May 12, 2014, FAA received 

LAWA’s revised application. On May 

22, LAWA submitted an errata sheet. On 

June 10, 2014, FAA determined LAWA’s 

application to be complete. ANCA 

establishes a 180 day review period for 

the application. Under 14 CFR 

161.313(c)(4)(ii), the review period 

starts on the date of receipt of the last 

supplement to the application. 

Pursuant to 14 CFR 161.317, FAA 

may approve or disapprove, in whole or 

in part, the proposed restriction or any 

alternative restriction submitted by 

LAWA. This notice also announces the 

availability of the proposed airport 

access restriction for public review and 

invites interested parties to file 

comments to the FAA within 30 days 

after this notice is published in the 

Federal Register. 

FAA Action Under Part 161 Subpart 

D. FAA will review and render a 

decision on the restriction as a whole, 

including its impacts on aircraft 

operations that are not classified as 

Stage 3, at the time it issues its decision 

to approve or disapprove the 

application for a Stage 3 aircraft noise 

and access restriction submitted under 

Subpart D of Part 161. This review will 

include a determination on how the 

restriction proposal addresses other 

applicable Federal law and LAX’s grant 

assurances. 

The FAA’s evaluation will be 

conducted under the provisions of 14 

CFR Part 161. FAA may approve the 

restriction only if it finds on the basis 

of substantial evidence that the 

following six statutory criteria are met. 

These six statutory conditions of 

approval are: Condition 1: The 

restriction is reasonable, nonarbitrary, 

and nondiscriminatory; Condition 2: 

The restriction does not create an undue 

burden or interstate or foreign 

commerce; Condition 3: The proposed 

restriction maintains safe and efficient 

use of the navigable airspace; Condition 

4: The proposed restriction does not 

conflict with any existing Federal 

statute or regulation; Condition 5: The 

applicant has provided adequate 

opportunity for public comment on the 

proposed restriction; and Condition 6: 

The proposed restriction does not create 

an undue burden on the national 

aviation system. 

Interested persons are invited to file 

comments to the FAA on the proposed 

restriction application. LAWA’s 

application is available on their Web 

site at: http://www.lawa.org/LAX 

Part161.aspx. Your comments should 

relate to the factors that Part 161 

requires an airport sponsor to address in 

its application for restriction approval. 

All relevant comments received within 

the public comment period will be 

considered by FAA to the extent 

practicable before FAA makes its final 

decision on the application. 

Questions may be directed to the 

individual named above under the 

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT.
