          - [Docket No. FAA-2006-25695]

# 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 N AVAIDS 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.
