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. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this 

document to Mr. Barry J. Hammer at the
