availability of the Draft Environmental

Assessment (DEA) for a proposed

departure procedure at Sarasota

Manatee International Airport and

request for comments.

The DEA was prepared pursuant to

the National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA) of 1969, as amended; FAA

Order 1050.1D, Policies and Procedures

for Considering Environmental Impacts

and other applicable environmental

laws and regulations. The DEA assesses

the effects of proposed Federal actions

under consideration by the FAA. The

proposed actions are intended to

achieve noise level reductions over the

neighboring community in Manatee

County north of the airport. The

proposed actions include the following:

(1) turning aircraft departing Runway 32

to the northwest over land-use areas that

are more compatible with the noise

emissions of aircraft and (2) reducing

significant residential noise levels

caused by aircraft executing the new

turn.

DATES: The opportunity to provide

written comments on the DEA will

extend 45 days from the date of

publication in the Federal Register. Late

filed comments will be considered to

the extent practicable.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the

Draft EA may be mailed, in triplicate, to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Nondiscrimination as it Applies

to FTA Grant Programs (OMB Number:

2132–0542)

Abstract: All entities receiving federal

financial assistance from FTA are

prohibited from discriminating against

any employee or applicant for

employment because of race, color,

creed, sex, national origin, age, or

disability. To ensure that FTA’s equal

employment opportunity (EEO)

procedures are followed, FTA requires

grant recipients to submit written EEO

plans to FTA for approval. FTA’s

assessment of this requirement shows

that the formulating, submitting, and

implementing of EEO programs should

minimally increase costs for FTA

applicants and recipients.

To determine a grantee’s compliance

with applicable laws and requirements,

grantee submissions are evaluated and

analyzed based on the following criteria.

First, an EEO program must include an

EEO policy statement issued by the

chief executive officer covering all

employment practices, including

recruitment, selection, promotions,

terminations, transfers, layoffs,

compensation, training, benefits, and

other terms and conditions of

employment. Second, the policy must

be placed conspicuously so that

employees, applicants, and the general

public are aware of the agency’s EEO

commitment.

The data derived from written EEO

and affirmative action plans will be

used by the Office of Civil Rights in

monitoring grantees’ compliance with

applicable EEO laws and regulations.

This monitoring and enforcement

activity will ensure that minorities and

women have equitable access to

employment opportunities and that

recipients of Federal funds do not

discriminate against any employee or

applicant because of race, color, creed,

sex, national origin, age, or disability.

Estimated Total Annual Burden:

4,500 hours.

Title: Title VI as it Applies to FTA

Grant Programs (OMB Number: 2132–

0542)

Abstract: Section 601 of Title VI of the

Civil Rights Act of 1964 states: ‘‘No

person in the United States shall, on the

grounds of race, color, or national

origin, be excluded from participation

in, be denied the benefits of, or be

subjected to discrimination under any

program or activity receiving Federal

financial assistance.’’ This information

collection is required by the Department

of Justice (DOJ) Title VI Regulation, 28

CFR Part 42, Subpart F (Section 42.406),

and DOT Order 1000.12. FTA policies

and requirements are designed to clarify

and strengthen these regulations. This

requirement is applicable to all

applicants, recipients, and subrecipients

receiving Federal financial assistance.

Experience has demonstrated that a

program requirement at the application

stage is necessary to assure that benefits

and services are equitably distributed by

grant recipients. The requirements

prescribed by the Office of Civil Rights

accomplish that objective while

diminishing possible vestiges of

discrimination among FTA grant

recipients. FTA’s assessment of this

requirement indicated that the

formulation and implementation of the

Title VI program should occur with a

decrease in costs to such applicants and

recipients.

All FTA grant applicants, recipients,

and subrecipients are required to submit

applicable Title VI information to the

FTA Office of Civil Rights for review

and approval. If FTA did not conduct

pre-award reviews, solutions would not

be generated in advance and program

improvements could not be integrated

into projects. FTA’s experience with

pre-award reviews for all projects and

grants suggests this method contributes

to maximum efficiency and cost

effectiveness of FTA dollars and has
