Compatibility Program for Fresno 

Yosemite International Airport, Fresno, 

CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces it has 

terminated its review of the noise 

compatibility program, at the request of 

the city of Fresno, owner and operator 

of Fresno Yosemite International 

Airport, under the provisions of 49 

U.S.C. 47501 et. seq. (the Aviation 

Safety and Noise Abatement Act, 

hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) and 

14 CFR part 150. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date 

of the FAA’s termination of its review 

of the Fresno Yosemite International 

Airport Noise Compatibility Program is

extension 613. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 6, 

2005 (70 FR 50437–50438), the FAA 

determined that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by the City of Fresno 

were in compliance with applicable 

requirements under 14 CFR part 150. 

Subsequently, the City of Fresno 

submitted its noise compatibility 

program for the subject airport to the 

FAA for formal FAA review that began 

on May 26, 2006 (71 FR 33032–33033). 

In a letter received by FAA on 

September 15, 2006, the City of Fresno 

requested that FAA suspend its review 

and processing of the noise 

compatibility program in order to 

modify the document. When the FAA 

has received the revised documentation, 

FAA will reissue appropriate notice 

establishing new review and approval 

periods in accordance with section 

150.33(e) of 14 CFR part 150.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

FLNG requested a waiver of 

compliance from the regulatory 

requirement at 49 CFR 193.2301. This 

regulation requires each LNG facility 

constructed after March 31, 2000, to 

comply with 49 CFR part 193 and 

paragraph 4.2.1 in NFPA 59A, 2001 

Edition. 

NFPA 59A requires that welded 

containers designed for not more than 

15 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) 

comply with the Eighth Edition, 1990, 

of the American Petroleum Institute 

standard 620, Design and Construction 

of Large, Welded, Low-Pressure Storage 

Tanks (Appendix Q). The Eighth Edition 

of API 620 requires inspection 

according to Appendix Q, which calls 

for the full radiographic examination of 

all vertical and horizontal butt welds 

associated with the container. 

FLNG is proposing to use the 2002 

Tenth Edition, Addendum 1, of API 620. 

The Tenth Edition, Addendum 1, of API 

620, allows for ultrasonic examination, 

instead of radiography, as an acceptable 

alternative to examining butt welds 

associated with the container. FLNG 

proposes to use ultrasonic examination 

which consists of full semi-automated 

and manual ultrasonic examination 

using shear wave probes. The 

examination also consists of a 

volumetric ultrasonic examination using 

a combination of creep wave probes and 

focused angled longitudinal wave 

probes. 

FLNG asserts that ultrasonic 

examination has several advantages over 

radiographic examination, namely it: 

• Produces faster examination rates 

with equal reliability; 

• Yields higher weld productivity 

rates and overall lower project cost; 

• Employs a linear scanning process 

and allows both sides of the weld to be 

examined simultaneously; 

• Offers results reviewable by 

personnel both on-site and off-site; 

• Utilizes inspection data which can 

be stored, analyzed, and shared 

digitally; and
