37818 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 117 / Friday, June 16, 2000 / Notices

descriptions submitted by the Kenton

County Airport Board. The specific

maps under consideration are

Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky

International Airport 1999 Noise

Exposure Map and Future (2005) Noise

Exposure Map/Noise Compatibility

Program in the submission. The FAA

has determined that these maps for

Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky

International Airport are in complience

with applciable requirements. This

determination is effective on June 8,

2000. 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 maps.

Therefore, the responsibility for the

detailed overlaying of noise exposure

contours depicted on a noise exposure

map submitted under section 103 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 107 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 FAA’s review of noise

exposure contours onto the map

depicting properties on the surface rests

exclusively with the airport operator

which submitted those maps, 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

Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky

International Airport, also effective on

June 8, 2000. 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 December 5,

2000.

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 noncompatible land uses and

preventing the introduction of

additional noncompatible 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 maps, the FAA’s evaluation of

the maps, and the proposed noise

compatibility program are available for

examination at the following locations:

Change in Department Procedure at

Sarasota-Bradenton International

Airport and Public Comment

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration.

ACTION: Extension of the comment

period.

SUMMARY: On April 26, 2000, the

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

announced the availability of the Draft

Environmental Assessment (DEA) for a

proposed departure procedure at

Sarasota Manatee International Airport

and a request for comments. The

Sarasota-Bradenton Airport Authority

requested the change in departure

procedures 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 department 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 be

extended until July 14, 2000. Late filed

comments will be considered to the

extent practicable.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the

DEA may be mailed, in triplicate, to:

should be directed to Nancy Shelton via

telephone at (404) 305–5585, or in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

will consider all comments directly

within the scope of the DEA. The most

useful comments are those which

provide facts and analyses to support

the reviewer’s recommendations or

conclusions. The FAA will consider

comments received after the close of the

comment period to the extent

practicable. The FAA will issue a final

Environmental Assessment that

includes corrections, clarifications and

responses to comments on the DEA, as

appropriate. The DEA is not being

published in today’s Federal Register

due to its size and detailed graphics on

the charts contained in it. However, to

maximize the opportunities for public

participation in the environmental

process, copies of the DEA are available

for review at the following libraries:

the National Corridor Planning and

Development Program and the

Coordinated Border Infrastructure

Program

AGENCY: Federal Highway

Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments;

solicitation of applications for fiscal

year (FY) 2001 grants.

SUMMARY: This document provides

implementation guidance on sections

1118 and 1119 of the Transportation

Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA–

21). These sections established the

National Corridor Planning and

Development Program (NCPD program)

and the Coordinated Border

Infrastructure Program (CBI program).

The NCPD and the CBI programs are

funded by a single funding source.

These programs provide funding for

planning, project development,

construction and operation of projects

that serve border regions near Mexico

and Canada and high priority corridors

throughout the United States. States and

metropolitan planning organizations

(MPOs) are, under the NCPD program,

eligible for discretionary grants for:

Corridor feasibility; corridor planning;

multistate coordination; environmental

review; and construction. Border States

and MPOs are, under the CBI program,

eligible for discretionary grants for:

Transportation and safety infrastructure

improvements, operation and regulatory

improvements, and coordination and

safety inspection improvements in a

border region.

DATES: Grant applications should be

received by FHWA Division Offices on

August 15, 2000. Specific information

required in grant applications is

provided in Section IV of this notice.

Comments on program implementation

should be sent as soon as reasonably

possible. However, in recognition of the

fact that legislative language may

materially change the program

implementation at any time, the FHWA

will leave the docket open indefinitely.

The FHWA will consider comments

received in developing the FY 2002

solicitation of grant applications. More

information on the type of comments

sought by the FHWA is provided in

Section III of this notice.
