Notice of a Proposed Change in Monitor Status of Air Navigational 
Aids at Two Airports

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is requesting public 
comment on a proposal to change the monitor status of air navigational 
aids (NAVAIDS) at two (2) airports.
    The NAVAIDS are currently monitored by Automated Flight Service 
Stations (AFSS) in Florida and Wyoming that were formerly operated by 
the FAA. Since October 4, 2005 these AFSS sites have been operating 
under a Federal Contract with Lockheed Martin Corporation. During the 
early stages of the contracting process, the FAA determined that 
monitoring of NAVAIDS was not part of the mission of flight service 
stations and therefore was not included in the contract.
    Neither of the NAVAIDS are part of a published instrument approach 
into an airport. The proposed time for the NAVAIDS to become 
unmonitored is 30 days prior to the date the respective AFSS site 
closes for consolidation into a Lockheed Martin FS-21 site.
    The Non-Directional Beacons (NDB) that are proposed to become 
unmonitored are: Antelope (AOP) NDB, Rock Springs, Wyoming; and Vero 
Beach (VEP) NDB, Vero Beach, Florida.

DATES: Comments must be received by September 29, 2006.
