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.

The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for Tweed New Haven Regional Airport, also effective on November 26, 2012. Preliminary review of the submitted material indicates that it conforms to the requirements for the submittal of noise compatibility programs, but that further review will be necessary prior to approval or disapproval of the program. The formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, will be completed on or before May 25, 2013. The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be conducted under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 150, Section 150.33. The primary considerations in the evaluation process are whether the proposed measures may reduce the level of aviation safety, create an undue burden on interstate or foreign commerce, or be reasonably consistent with obtaining the goal of reducing existing non compatible land uses and preventing the introduction of additional non-compatible land uses.

Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed program with specific reference to these factors. All comments, other than those properly addressed to local land use authorities, will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable. Copies of the noise exposure map, the FAA’s evaluation of the map, and the proposed noise compatibility program are available for examination at the following locations:

**Notice of Opportunity for Public Comment on Surplus Property Release**  **at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in Manchester, NH** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Request for Public Comments.

**SUMMARY :**  Under the provisions of Title 49, U.S.C. Section 47153(d), notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in Manchester, NH to waive the surplus property requirements for approximately 19 acres of airport property located at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in Manchester, NH. The subject parcels have been used for non-aeronautical purposes for over 30 years under temporary relief of surplus property requirements. It has been determined through study and master planning that the subject parcels will not be needed for aeronautical purposes as they are not contiguous to the airport proper. Full and permanent relief of the surplus property requirements on these specific parcels will allow the airport and its tenants on these parcels to make the necessary and aviation-compatible improvements to the parcels. All revenues through the leasing of the parcels will continue to be subject to the FAAs revenue-use policy and dedicated to the maintenance and operation of the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.

**DATES :**  Comments must be received on or before March 8, 2013.
