Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 53 / Tuesday, March 19, 2013 / Notices 16911 

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. Prior to an FAA decision on a 

request to implement the action, an 

environmental review of the proposed 

action may be required. 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-inaid funding from the FAA under 

applicable law contained in Title 49 

U.S.C. Where federal funding is sought, 

requests for project grants must be 

submitted to the FAA Airports District 

Office in Romulus, Michigan. 

The Cleveland-Hopkins International 

Airport study contains a proposed noise 

compatibility program comprised of 

actions designed for phased 

implementation by airport management 

and adjacent jurisdictions from 2011 to 

the year 2017. 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 June 6, 2012 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. A total of 

twenty-one proposed actions for noise 

abatement, land use planning and 

program management on and off the 

airport were evaluated. The FAA 

completed its review and determined 

that the procedural and substantive 

requirements of the Act and Part 150 

have been satisfied. The overall program 

was approved by the FAA, effective 

November 29, 2012. 

Outright approval was granted for 

twelve specific program measures. The 

measures that were granted outright 

approved were: Continue voluntary 

restriction of run-ups and engine 

maintenance testing as specified in the 

1987 NCP and updated in the 2000 NCP; 

Continue to encourage the use of noise 

abatement departure profiles (NADPs); 

Adopt land use development controls 

and construction standards in the local 

communities surrounding the Airport to 

include those within the 60 dB DNL 

contour; Adopt real estate disclosure 

policies regarding airport noise 

exposure in the local communities 

surrounding the Airport, to include 

those within the 60 dB DNL contour; 

Complete sound insulation of 

residences within the higher levels of 

the Noise Exposure, 65+ DNL; Sound 

insulation program within 60 dB DNL 

contours; Expand capabilities of the 

Airport’s Noise and Operations 

Monitoring System (NOMS) by 

acquiring and installing six new 

permanent noise monitors and more 

fully utilizing the analysis capabilities 

of the current software; Investigate the 

feasibility of a new state-of-the-art 

NOMS system to replace the current 

system in its entirety; Expand the 

content of the Airport’s Quarterly Noise 

Reports; Update the tower’s Standard 

Operating Procedures Manual to reflect 

all FAA-approved NCP measures; Retain 

the current Part 150 working group and 

continue to report on information 

regarding noise issues; and Continue 

periodic updates of the NCP and 

reviews of the NEMs. 

The FAA approved the following 

measures in part: Develop and 

implement new RNAV flight procedures 

for departures from Runways 6L and 6R; 

Develop and implement new RNAV 

flight procedures for departures from 

Runways 24L and 24R; Modify existing 

standard instrument departures (SIDs) 

to reduce early turns after take-off; 

Designate Runway 6R as the preferred 

late night (11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.) 

departure runway; Wind and weather 

permitting, instruct arriving aircraft at 

night (10:00 p.m. to 6:59 a.m. to 

intercept the final approach course to all 

runways no closer than four miles; and 

Update the ‘‘Fly Quiet’’ Communication 

Program. 

The FAA disapproved one measure: 

Encourage the FAA and airlines 

operating at CLE to use optimized 

profile descents (OPDs) between 11:00 

p.m. and 6:00 a.m. for arrivals to 

Runway 6L, 6R, 24L, and 24R. No action 

was taken on one measure: Add a 

minimum turn altitude to initial 

departure clearances. 

The Airport Sponsor requested one 

measure to be withdrawn: Construction 

of enclosed ground run-up facility. 

These determinations are set forth in 

detail in a Record of Approval signed by 

the Great Lakes Airports Division 

Manager on November 29, 2012. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

invites public comment on the request 

to release approximately 1.67 acres of 

airport property at the Ankeny Regional 

Airport (IKV) under the provisions of 49 

U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On January 24, 2013, 

the Airport Authority at the Ankeny 

Regional Airport requested from the 

FAA that approximately 1.67 acres of 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
16912 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 53 / Tuesday, March 19, 2013 / Notices 

property be released for sale to Lucille 

M. Johnson and family for use as a 

farming operation. On January 31, 2013, 

the FAA determined that the request to 

release property at the Ankeny Regional 

Airport (IKV) submitted by the Sponsor 

meets the procedural requirements of 

the Federal Aviation Administration 

and the release of the property does not 

and will not impact future aviation 

needs at the airport. The FAA may 

approve the request, in whole or in part, 

no sooner than thirty days after the 

publication of this Notice. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

Ankeny Regional Airport (IKV) is 

proposing the release of one parcel, of 

1.67 acres, more or less. The release of 

land is necessary to comply with 

Federal Aviation Administration Grant 

Assurances that do not allow federally 

acquired airport property to be used for 

non-aviation purposes. The sale of the 

subject property will result in the land 

at the Ankeny Regional Airport (IKV) 

being changed from aeronautical to nonaeronautical use and release the lands 

from the conditions of the Airport 

Improvement Program Grant Agreement 

Grant Assurances. In accordance with 

49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the 

airport will receive fair market value for 

the property, which will be 

subsequently reinvested in another 

eligible airport improvement project for 

general aviation facilities at the Ankeny 

Regional Airport. 

Any person may inspect, by 

appointment, the request in person at 

the FAA office listed above under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In 

addition, any person may, upon 

appointment and request, inspect the 

application, notice and other documents 

determined by the FAA to be related to 

the application in person at the Ankeny 

Regional Airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, 

FMCSA may grant an exemption from 

the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations for a 2-year period if it finds 

‘‘such exemption would likely achieve a 

level of safety that is equivalent to or 

greater than the level that would be 

achieved absent such exemption.’’ 

FMCSA can renew exemptions at the 

end of each 2-year period. The 8 

individuals listed in this notice have 

each requested such an exemption from 

the vision requirement in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers 

of CMVs in interstate commerce. 

Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate 

the qualifications of each applicant to 

determine whether granting an 

exemption will achieve the required 

level of safety mandated by statute. 

Qualifications of Applicants
