Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice To Amend Federal Grant 

Assurance Obligations at Elko 

Regional Airport (EKO), Elko, Nevada 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Land-Use Change 

Application to Amend Grant Agreement 

Obligations. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) proposes to rule 

and invites public comment on the 

application for a land-use change 

authorization effecting approximately 

12.2 acres of airport property at the Elko 

Regional Airport, Elko, Nevada which 

will provide for an amendment of the 

Grant Agreement Assurance obligation 

that requires use of airport land for 

aeronautical purposes. Since the City of 

Elko, sponsor of the Elko Regional 

Airport, acquired the land in 1930, the 

property does not have an aeronautical 

purpose or planned to be used for an 

aeronautical purpose. The land-use 

change will authorize the release of the 

aeronautical-use obligation from the 

Grant Assurance Agreement for a 

proposed long term non-aeronautical 

commercial development. The 12.2 

acres of airport land is identified as 

‘‘future commercial’’ on the FAA 

conditionally approved Airport Layout 

Plan (ALP). The approximately 12.2 

acres of airport property is currently 

zoned as ‘‘light industrial business 

park’’ and the land is proposed for retail 

mall development. The proposed 

developer will pay the costs to develop, 

manage, and improve the property for 

non-aeronautical commercial 

businesses. The City of Elko will lease 

the land at fair market value (FMV) to 

earn revenue for the airport thereby 

benefiting the airport and serving the 

interest of civil aviation. The proposed 

use will be compatible with the airport 

and will not interfere with the airport or 

its operation. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before November 2, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Comments on the request may be mailed 

or delivered to the FAA at the following 

address Mike N. Williams, Manager, 

Federal Aviation Administration, 

Phoenix Airports District Office, 

Federal Register Comment, 3800 N. 

Central Avenue, Suite 1025, 10th Floor, 

Phoenix, Arizona 85012. In addition, 

one copy of the comment submitted to 

the FAA must be mailed or delivered to 

Mr. Mark Gibbs, Airport Director, Elko 

Regional Airport, 975 Terminal Way, 

Elko, Nevada 89801. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 

Aviation Investment and Reform Act for 

the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 

106–181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), 

this notice must be published in the 

Federal Register 30 days before the 

Secretary may waive any condition 

imposed on a federally obligated airport 

by surplus property conveyance deeds 

or grant agreements. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

The City of Elko, Nevada, owner of 

the Elko Regional Airport, requested the 

Federal Aviation Administration to 

authorize a land-use change on 

approximately 12.2 acres of airport land 

at the Elko Regional Airport. The landuse change authorization will amend 

the Grant Agreement Assurance 

obligations that require the use of the 

12.2 acres of airport land for aviation 

purposes to allow for long term nonaeronautical use for revenue generating 

purposes. The City of Elko has owned 

this portion of land in fee simple since 

1930 and was acquired for the airport 

without any use of federal funding or for 

noise abatement purposes. The land has 

been cleared and graded many years ago 

with no additional encumbrances. With 

the exception of a portion of the subject 

land being used for unsecured 

equipment storage by the Nevada 

Department of Transportation, the land 

is vacant and unimproved and has not 

been used for aeronautical purposes 

since the parcel of land was acquired. 

The City of Elko has intended the 

property for non-aeronautical 

development because the adjacent 

topography has made the land 

unsuitable for most aeronautical use. 

The parcels of land are located northeast 

of the secondary runway area, outside of 

the airport fence line adjacent to 

Taxiway B and Nevada State Highway 

225 (Mountain City Highway). 

The City of Elko has determined the 

fair market value of the land and will 

ensure the FMV rental income will be 

devoted to airport maintenance, 

operations and capital projects which 

will benefit the airport. The reuse of the 

property will not interfere with the 

airport or its operation; thereby, serve 

the interests of civil aviation.

Notice of Opportunity for Public 

Comment on Surplus Property Release 

at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport

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

59848 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 191 / Friday, October 2, 2015 / Notices 

Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in 

Manchester, NH. 

The subject parcel is currently 

undeveloped and has been identified for 

commercial development on the current 

Airport Layout Plan. The airport will 

retain the land to generate a long term 

lease revenue for the airport and thus, 

is requesting a release to change the 

property from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use. It has been determined 

through study and master planning that 

the subject parcel will not be needed for 

aeronautical purposes is not contiguous 

to the airport proper. Full and 

permanent relief of the surplus property 

requirements on this parcel will allow 

the airport to generate long term 

revenue through lease of the land. All 

lease revenue will continue to be subject 

to the FAAs revenue-use policy and 

dedicated to the maintenance and 

operation of the Manchester-Boston 

Regional Airport.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2015–0197] 

Hours of Service of Drivers: R&R 

Transportation Group; Application for 

Exemption 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of final disposition; grant 

of application for exemption. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its 

decision to grant the R&R 

Transportation Group (R&R) an 

exemption from the minimum 30- 

minute rest break requirement of the 

Agency’s hours-of-service (HOS) 

regulations for commercial motor 

vehicle (CMV) drivers. FMCSA has 

analyzed the exemption application and 

the public comments and has 

determined that the exemption, subject 

to the terms and conditions imposed, 

will achieve a level of safety that is 

equivalent to, or greater than, the level 

that would be achieved absent such 

exemption. The exemption is available 

only to R&R’s drivers engaged in the 

transportation of materials that by their 

nature must be attended, such as 

radioactive materials, pharmaceuticals, 

and ammunition. The exemption 

provides these drivers the same 

regulatory flexibility that the HOS 

regulations allow drivers transporting 

explosives, i.e., to use 30 minutes or 

more of on-duty attendance time to meet 

the HOS rest break requirements, 

provided they do not perform any other 

work during the break. 

DATES: The exemption is effective 

October 2, 2015 and expires on October 

2, 2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Robert Schultz, FMCSA Driver and 

Carrier Operations Division; Office of 

Carrier, Driver and Vehicle Safety 

Standards, FMCSA; Telephone: 202– 

366–4325. Email: MCPSD@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 

31136(e) and 31315 to grant exemptions 

from certain parts of the Federal Motor 

Carrier Safety Regulations. FMCSA must 

publish a notice of each exemption 

request in the Federal Register (49 CFR 

381.315(a)). The Agency must provide 

the public an opportunity to inspect the 

information relevant to the application, 

including any safety analyses that have 

been conducted. The Agency must also 

provide an opportunity for public 

comment on the request. 

The Agency reviews safety analyses 

and public comments submitted, and 

determines whether granting the 

exemption would likely achieve a level 

of safety equivalent to, or greater than, 

the level that would be achieved by the 

current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). 

The decision of the Agency must be 

published in the Federal Register (49 

CFR 381.315(b)) with the reasons for 

denying or granting the application and, 

if granted, the name of the person or 

class of persons receiving the 

exemption, and the regulatory provision 

from which the exemption is granted. 

The notice must also specify the 

effective period and explain the terms 

and conditions of the exemption. The 

exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 

381.300(b)). 

On December 27, 2011, FMCSA 

published a final rule amending the 

HOS regulations (49 CFR part 395) for 

drivers of CMVs (76 FR 81133). The 

final rule included a new provision 

requiring certain drivers to take a rest 

break during their duty day. 

Specifically, the rule states that ‘‘driving 

is not permitted if more than 8 hours 

have passed since the end of the driver’s 

last off-duty or sleeper-berth period of at 

least 30 minutes’’ [49 CFR 

395.3(a)(3)(ii)]. This provision took 

effect on July 1, 2013. 

Under the HOS rules, a driver is on 

duty if he or she is ‘‘performing any 

other work in the capacity, employ, or 

service of a motor carrier’’ (§ 395.2). A 

driver is off duty when relieved of all 

duty and responsibility for the care and 

custody of the vehicle, its accessories, 

and any cargo it may be carrying. 

However, the Agency has recognized 

that under certain circumstances it is 

unsafe for CMVs to be left unattended 

so that the driver can take 30 minutes 

off duty. By regulation, FMCSA allows 

operators of CMVs transporting certain 

explosives to satisfy the rest-break 

requirement by using 30 minutes or 

more of on-duty attendance time 

providing they perform no other work 

during the break [49 CFR 395.1(q)]. 

Drivers employing this provision are 

required to annotate their duty-status 

record to indicate that they have used 

the exception. 

The Agency has granted temporary 

exemptions of the type provided by 49 

CFR 395.1(q) to drivers transporting 

security-sensitive radioactive materials 

(78 FR 32700, May 31, 2013), weapons, 

munitions, and sensitive/classified 

cargo (80 FR 20556, April 16, 2015), and 

oversize/overweight (OS/OW) loads (80 

FR 34957, June 18, 2015).
