**Noise Exposure Map Notice for Lehigh Valley International Airport, Allentown,**  **Pennsylvania**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration, DOT

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its determination that the noise exposuremaps submitted by the LehighNorthampton Airport Authority for Lehigh Valley International Airport under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et. seq (Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act) 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 November 28, 2016.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Harrisburg Airports District Office (HAR ADO), Susan L. McDonald, Environmental Protection Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, HAR ADO, 3905 Hartzdale Drive, Suite 508, Camp Hill, PA 17011, Telephone: (717)

730–2830.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This
notice announces that the FAA finds that the noise exposure maps submitted for Lehigh Valley International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of 14 CFR 150 (part 150), effective January 13, 2004. Under 49
U.S.C. Section 47503 of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may submit to the FAA noise exposure maps which meet applicable regulations and which depict non-compatible land uses as of the date of submission of such maps; a description of estimated aircraft operations during a forecast period that is at least five (5) years in the future; 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, planning authorities, and persons using the airport. An airport operator that has submitted noise exposure maps that are found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150, promulgated pursuant to the Act, may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval, which sets forth the measures the operator has taken orproposes to take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the
introduction of additional noncompatible uses.

The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure maps and accompanying documentation submitted by Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority. The documentation that constitutes the ‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ (NEM) as defined in Section
150.7 of Part 150 includes 2015 Base Year NEM, Figure 4–5; and 2020 Future Year NEM, Figure 5–1. The Noise Exposure Maps contain current and forecast information, including the depiction of the airport and its

boundaries; the runway configurations; land uses such as residential, open space, commercial/retail, community facilities, libraries, churches, and warehouses; and those areas within the Day Night Average Sound Level (DNL) 65, 70 and 75 noise contours. Estimates
for the area within these contours for
the 2015 Base Year are shown in Table 4–8 and Table 4–9, and in Chapter 4 of
the NEM. Estimates of the residential population within the 2020 Future Year noise contours are shown in Table 5–5, and in Chapter 5 of the NEM. Figure 3– 1, in Chapter 3, displays the location of noise monitoring sites. Flight tracks are found in Chapter 4, and detailed in Appedix C. The type and frequency of aircraft operations (including nighttime operations) are found in Chapter 4,
Tables 4–5 and 4–6. The FAA has determined that these noise exposure maps and accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on November 28, 2016.

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 47503 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
47506 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 the FAA’s review of noise exposure maps. 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 those maps, or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which consultation is required under Section 47503 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 full noise exposure map
documentation and of the FAA’s evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the following locations:

**[Docket No. FRA–2014–0011–N–02]**

**Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment**  **Request**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of Transportation (DOT).

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  FRA is seeking public comments on its proposal to renew its Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance to participate in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) program, ‘‘Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery’’ (OMB program). FRA will submit the information collection requirements described below to OMB for review, as required by the PRA. The OMB program
was created to facilitate Federal agencies’ efforts to streamline the process to seek public feedback on service delivery. Current FRA clearance under the OMB program expires May

31, 2017. **DATES :**  Comments must be received no later than February 6, 2017.

**ADDRESSES :**  Submit written comments on any or all of the following proposed activities by mail to Ms. Kimberly Toone, Office of Information Technology, RAD–20, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., Mail Stop 35, Washington, DC 20590. Commenters requesting FRA to acknowledge receipt of their respective
comments must include a self-addressed stamped postcard stating, ‘‘Comments
on OMB control number 2130–0593.’’ Alternatively, comments may be transmitted via facsimile to (202) 493– 6497, or via email to Ms. Toone at Kim.Toone@dot.gov. Please refer to the assigned OMB control number in any correspondence submitted. FRA will
summarize comments received in response to this notice in a subsequent
notice and include them in its
information collection submission to OMB for approval.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Ms. Kimberly Toone, Office of Information Technology, RAD–20, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., Mail Stop 35, Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202) 493–6132).(These telephone numbers are not tollfree.)

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Executive Order 12862 (1993) (Setting Customer Service Standards) directed all Federal executive departments and agencies and requested independent Federal agencies to provide service to ‘‘customers’’ that
matches or exceeds the best service available in the private sector. See also Executive Order 13571 (2011) (Streamlining Service Delivery and Improving Customer Service). For purposes of these orders, ‘‘customer’’ means an individual who or entity that is directly served by a Federal department or agency. FRA seeks renewed OMB approval of a generic clearance to collect qualitative feedback on our service delivery (i.e., the products and services that FRA creates to help consumers and businesses understand their rights and responsibilities, including Web sites, blogs, videos, print publications, and other content).

Below is a brief summary of the information collection activity FRA will submit to OMB for clearance as required
under the PRA:

Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery OMB Control
Number: 2130–0593.

Status: Regular Review.
