uses around the airport and preventing 

the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses; 

c. Program measures would not create 

an undue burden on interstate or foreign 

commerce, unjustly discriminate against 

types or classes of aeronautical uses, 

violate the terms of airport grant 

agreements, or intrude into areas 

preempted by the Federal Government; 

and 

d. Program measures relating to the 

use of flight procedures can be 

implemented within the period covered 

by the program without derogating 

safety, adversely affecting the efficient 

use and management of the navigable 

airspace and air traffic control systems, 

or adversely affecting other powers and 

responsibilities of the Administrator 

prescribed by law. 

Specific limitations with respect to 

FAA’s approval of an airport noise 

compatibility program are delineated in 

FAR Part 150, section 150.5. Approval 

is not a determination concerning the 

acceptability of land uses under Federal, 

state, or local law. Approval does not by 

itself constitute an FAA implementing 

action. A request for Federal action or 

approval to implement specific noise 

compatibility measures may be 

required, and an FAA decision on the 

request may require an environmental 

assessment of the proposed action. 

Approval does not constitute a 

commitment by the FAA to financially 

assist in the implementation of the 

program nor a determination that all 

measures covered by the program are 

eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the 

FAA. Where federal funding is sought, 

requests for project grants must be 

submitted to the FAA Helena Airports 

District Office in Helena, Montana. 

Great Falls International Airport 

submitted to the FAA on February 2, 

2007, the noise exposure maps, 

descriptions, and other documentation 

produced during the noise compatibility 

planning study. The Great Falls 

International Airport noise exposure 

maps were determined to FAA to be in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements on February 13, 2007. 

Notice of this determination was 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 26, 2007 (FR Volume 72, 

Number 37, pages 8412 and 8413). 

The Great Falls International Airport 

study contains a proposed noise 

compatibility program comprised of 

actions designed for phased 

implementation by airport management 

and adjacent jurisdictions from 2005 

through 2016. It was requested that the 

FAA evaluate and approve this material 

as a noise compatibility program as 

described in section 47504 of the Act. 

The FAA began its review of the 

program on February 13, 2007, and was 

required by a provision of the Act to 

approve or disapprove the program 

within 180 days (other than the use of 

new or modified flight procedures for 

noise control). Failure to approve or 

disapprove such program within the 

180-day period shall be deemed to be an 

approval of such program. 

The submitted program contained ten 

proposed actions for noise mitigation on 

and off the airport. Eight of these were 

approved by the Airport requiring an 

FAA determination. The FAA 

completed its review and determined 

that the procedural and substantive 

requirements of the Act and FAR Part 

150 have been satisfied. The overall 

program, therefore, was approved by the 

FAA effective August 8, 2007. 

The program elements were approved 

as follows and as further described in 

the Record of Approval. 

Recommendation one—Amend Local 

Zoning Ordinances to Minimize New 

Non-compatible Land Uses was 

approved except for clarified FAA 

involvement regarding height 

restrictions. This element will be 

addressed on a case-by-case basis under 

project specific 14 CFR Part 77 

evaluations. 

Recommendation two: Create Fair 

Disclosure Agreements within the 

Airport Influence Area; 

Recommendation three: Amend 

Existing Building Codes; 

Recommendation four: Prohibit Noise 

Sensitive Land Use with the 65 DNL; 

Recommendation five: Prohibit 

Residential Densities Greater than 2–4 

units/acre; 

Recommendation seven: Sound 

Attenuation and Undeveloped Land 

Purchase; 

Recommendation nine: Periodic 

Review of Aeronautical Operations and 

Part 150 Updates; 

Recommendation ten: Establish Local 

Committee to Monitor 150 Program; 

Recommendation six and eight were 

not approved by the Airport Authority 

and required no action by FAA. 

These determinations are set forth in 

detail in a Record of Approval signed by 

the Airports Division Manager, 

Northwest Mountain Region on August 

8, 2007. The Record of Approval, as 

well as other evaluation materials and 

the documents comprising the 

submittal, are available for review at the 

FAA office listed above and at the 

administrative offices of the Great Falls 

International Airport. The Record of 

Approval also will be available on-line 

at http://www.faa.gov/arp/

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2007–28660] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Revision of an Approved 

Information Collection: Accident 

Recordkeeping Requirements 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

FMCSA announces its plan to submit 

the Information Collection Request (ICR) 

described below to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. This information 

collection concerns the requirement that 

motor carriers maintain a record of all 

accidents in which their commercial 

motor vehicles (CMVs) are involved. 

The collection is necessary for FMCSA 

to assess the effectiveness of the safety 

management controls of motor carriers. 

On April 23, 2007, FMCSA published a 

Federal Register notice allowing for a 

60-day comment period on the ICR. One 

comment was received. 

DATES: Please send your comments by 

September 24, 2007. OMB must receive 

your comments by this date in order to 

act quickly on the ICR. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725 

Seventeenth Street, NW., Washington, 

DC 20503, Attention: DOT/FMCSA Desk 

Officer. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Tom Yager, Chief, Driver & Carrier 

Operations Division, Office of Bus & 

Truck Standards and Development 

(MC–PSD): Telephone: 202–366–4009; 

e-mail MCPSD@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Accident Recordkeeping 

Requirements. 

OMB Control Number: 2126–0009. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently-approved collection. 

Respondents: Motor Carriers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

106,800 motor carriers. 

Estimated Time per Response: 18 

minutes. 

Expiration Date: September 30, 2007. 

Frequency of Response: Once per 

year. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

32,040 hours. 106,800 motor carriers 

recording an accident × 18 minutes per 

response/60 minutes in an hour. 

Background 

Title 49 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Section 390.15, requires 

interstate motor carriers to maintain an 

‘‘accident register’’ consisting of a list of 

‘‘accidents’’ (as defined in 49 CFR 

390.5) that involve their CMVs and 

occur in interstate or intrastate 

commerce. The register may be 

electronic. The information for each 

accident must include, at a minimum, 

the following elements: Date of 

accident; city or town in which or most 

near where the accident occurred and 

the State in which the accident 

occurred; driver name; number of 

injuries; number of fatalities; and 

whether hazardous materials, other than 

fuel spilled from the fuel tanks of motor 

vehicles involved in the accident, were 

released. In addition, the register must 

contain copies of all accident reports 

required by State or other governmental 

entities or insurers. A motor carrier 

must maintain the required information 

in the accident register for three years 

after the date of the accident. 

The FMCSA uses this data to analyze 

the safety performance of motor carriers 

and drivers of CMVs. This information 

supports the DOT strategic goal of 

safety. Information concerning crashes 

strengthens FMCSA’s ability to assess 

motor carrier safety performance and to 

assist motor carriers in preventing 

crashes and reducing crash severity. The 

FMCSA uses this data to target motor 

carriers with the weakest safety records. 

Response to Comment: On April 23, 

2007, FMCSA published a Federal 

Register notice allowing for a 60-day 

comment period on the proposed 

renewal of this ICR. One comment was 

received from the American Trucking 

Association (ATA). In that comment, the 

ATA asked the Agency to reconsider its 

calculations to account for the fact that 

the States historically under-report their 

accidents to FMCSA. For this ICR, 

FMCSA did not use the accident data 

reported by the States to FMCSA. The 

Agency employed two databases 

compiled by the National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration because 

they produced the most accurate and 

reliable data for calculating the 

paperwork burden of this ICR. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the FMCSA’s performance; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways for the FMCSA to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the collected information; and 

(4) ways that the burden could be 

minimized without reducing the quality 

of the collected information.
