Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 238 / Monday, December 13, 2010 / Notices 77693 

Decision 

On November 4, 2010, the TVA Board 

approved the plan as described in 

Preferred Alternative C of the FEIS. TVA 

believes that implementation of 

Alternative C provides suitable 

opportunities for developed recreation, 

conservation of natural resources, and 

management of sensitive resources. This 

decision incorporates mitigation 

measures that would further minimize 

the potential for adverse impacts to the 

environment. These measures are listed 

below. 

Environmentally Preferred Alternative 

The Environmentally Preferred 

Alternative is Alternative C, under 

which approximately half of reservoir 

lands are allocated to Natural Resource 

Conservation (Zone 4) and Sensitive 

Resource Management (Zone 3) uses. 

All parcels with identified sensitive 

resources are allocated to Zone 3, which 

allows the least opportunity for land 

disturbance and is, therefore, the most 

protective land use zone. 

Mitigation Measures 

TVA is adopting the following 

measures to minimize environmental 

impacts: 

• TVA has executed a programmatic 

agreement (PA) with the Tennessee 

State Historic Preservation Officer for 

reservoir land management plans 

(RLMPs) for the identification, 

evaluation, and treatment of all cultural 

resources adversely affected by future 

proposed uses of TVA lands planned in 

RLMPs. All activities will be conducted 

in accordance with the stipulations 

defined in this PA. 

• As necessary, based on the findings 

of any site-specific environmental 

review, TVA may require the 

implementation of appropriate 

mitigation measures, including best 

management practices as defined in 

TVA’s ‘‘General and Standard 

Conditions/Best Management Practices,’’ 

as a condition of approval for use of 

TVA land. 

• Landscaping activities on 

developed properties will not include 

the use of plants listed as Rank 1 

(Severe Threat), Rank 2 (Significant 

Threat), or Rank 3 (Lesser Threat) on the 

Tennessee Exotic Plant Pest Council List 

of Invasive Exotic Pest Plants in 

Tennessee. 

• Revegetation and erosion-control 

work will utilize seed mixes comprised 

of native species or noninvasive 

nonnative species. 

With the implementation of the above 

measures, TVA has determined that 

adverse environmental impacts of future 

land development proposals on the 

TVA-managed reservoir lands would be 

substantially reduced. Before taking 

actions that could result in adverse 

environmental effects or before 

authorizing such actions to occur on 

properties it controls, TVA would 

perform a site-specific environmental 

review to determine the need for other 

necessary mitigation measures or 

precautions. These protective measures 

represent all of the practicable measures 

to avoid or minimize environmental 

harm associated with the alternative 

adopted by the TVA Board.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice; 

Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, 

Manchester, NH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps for Manchester-Boston Regional 

Airport, as submitted by the City of 

Manchester, New Hampshire, under the 

provisions of Title I of the Aviation 

Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 

(Pub. L. 96–193) and 14 CFR part 150, 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date 

of the FAA’s determination on the noise 

exposure maps is December 3, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa 

J. Lesperance or Richard Doucette, 

Federal Aviation Administration, New 

England Region, Airports Division, 12 

New England Executive Park, 

Burlington, Massachusetts 01803. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for Manchester-Boston Regional Airport 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements of Part 150, effective 

December 3, 2010. 

Under Section 103 of Title I of the 

Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

Act of 1979 (hereinafter referred to as 

‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may 

submit to the FAA noise exposure maps 

that meet applicable regulations and 

that depict non-compatible land uses as 

of the date of submission of such maps, 

a description of projected aircraft 

operations, and the ways in which such 

operations will affect such maps. The 

Act requires such maps to be developed 

in consultation with interested and 

affected parties in the local community, 

government agencies, and persons using 

the airport. 

An airport operator who has 

submitted such noise exposure maps 

that are found by FAA to be in 

compliance with the requirements of 

Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 

150, promulgated pursuant to Title I of 

the Act, may submit a noise 

compatibility program for FAA approval 

that sets forth the measures the operator 

has taken, or proposes, for the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the noise exposure map and related 

descriptions submitted by the City of 

Manchester, New Hampshire. The 

specific maps under consideration were 

Figure 4.2–1, and Figure 4.3–1 in the 

submission. The FAA has determined 

that these maps for Manchester-Boston 

Regional Airport are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on December 

3, 2010. 

FAA’s determination on an airport 

operator’s noise exposure maps is 

limited to a finding that the maps were 

developed in accordance with the 

procedures contained in Appendix A of 

FAR Part 150. Such determination does 

not constitute approval of the 

applicant’s data, information or plans, 

or a commitment to approve a noise 

compatibility program or to fund the 

implementation of that program. 

If questions arise concerning the 

precise relationship of specific 

properties to noise exposure contours 

depicted on a noise exposure map 

submitted under Section 103 of the Act, 

it should be noted that the FAA is not 

involved in any way in determining the 

relative locations of specific properties 

with regard to the depicted noise 

contours, or in interpreting the noise 

exposure maps to resolve questions 

concerning, for example, which 

properties should be covered by the 

provisions of Section 107 of the Act. 

These functions are inseparable from 

the ultimate land use control and 

planning responsibilities of local 

government. These local responsibilities 

are not changed in any way under Part 

150 or through FAA’s review of a noise 

exposure map. Therefore, the 

responsibility for the detailed 

overlaying of noise exposure contours 

onto the map depicting properties on

the surface rests exclusively with the 

airport operator that submitted the map 

or with those public agencies and 

planning agencies with which 

consultation is required under Section 

103 of the Act. The FAA has relied on 

the certification by the airport operator, 

under Section 150.21 of FAR Part 150, 

that the statutorily required consultation 

has been accomplished. 

Copies of the noise exposure maps 

and of the FAA’s evaluation of the maps 

are available for examination at the 

following locations:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1320.8(d), Title 5, Code of Federal 

Regulations requires PHMSA to provide 

interested members of the public and 

affected agencies an opportunity to 

comment on information collection and 

recordkeeping requests. This notice 

identifies a new information collection 

request that PHMSA will be submitting 

to OMB for approval. The information 

collection will be titled: ‘‘National 

Registry of Pipeline and Liquefied 

Natural Gas Operators.’’ PHMSA 

published a final rule in the Federal 

Register on November 26, 2010 (75 FR 

72878), titled: ‘‘Pipeline Safety: Updates 

to Pipeline and Liquefied Natural Gas 

Reporting Requirements’’. That final rule 

added two new sections, 49 CFR 191.21 

and 195.64, to the pipeline safety 

regulations for the establishment of a 

National Pipeline Safety Registry, which 

will be used by operators to obtain an 

Operator Identification (OPID) number. 

PHMSA is proposing to use two forms 

as part of this information collection. 

For an initial OPID number, an online 

form titled: ‘‘OPID Assignment (PHMSA 

F–1000.1)’’ will be used. For operators 

with an OPID who wish to update their 

information, a form titled: ‘‘Operator 

Registry Notification (PHMSA F– 

1000.2)’’ will be used. Copies of these 

forms have been placed in the docket 

and are available for comment. The 

following information is provided for 

this information collection: (1) Title of 

the information collection; (2) OMB 

control number; (3) Type of request; (4) 

Abstract of the information collection 

activity; (5) Description of affected 

public; (6) Estimate of total annual 

reporting and recordkeeping burden; 

and (7) Frequency of collection. PHMSA 

will request a three-year term of 

approval for this information collection 

activity. 

PHMSA requests comments on the 

following information collection: 

Title: National Pipeline Registry. 

OMB Control Number: Pending. 

Type of Request: New information 

collection. 

Abstract: PHMSA is requiring each 

operator to have an OPID number. The 

OPID number will contain detailed 

information on the operator. In addition, 

PHMSA is requesting that operators 

provide PHMSA with update 

notifications for certain changes to 

information initially provided by the 

operator. 

Affected Public: Pipeline Operators. 

Estimated number of responses: 2,753 

operators. 

Estimated annual burden hours: 5,506 

hours. 

Frequency of collection: On occasion. 

Comments are invited on: 

(a) The need for the proposed 

collection of information for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used;
