Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 140 / Thursday, July 22, 2010 / Notices 42819 

on voluntary reporting of unsafe events; 

and (d) opinions and observations about 

the operation of C3RS at their work site. 

It is estimated that the survey will take 

no more than 30 minutes to complete 

for a maximum total burden of 1,800 

hours (3,600 respondents*30 minutes/ 

60 = 1,800 hours). The survey will be 

administered at three pilot sites within 

three to four years resulting in an 

average annual burden of 600 hours 

(1,800/3). 

ADDRESSES: The agency seeks public 

comments on its proposed information 

collection. Comments should address 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection; ways 

to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Airborne Area Navigation Equipment 

Using Loran-C Inputs 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT 

ACTION: Notice of cancellation of: (1) 

Loran-C navigation system Technical 

Standard Orders (TSO); and (2) the 

revocation of Loran-C navigation system 

TSO Authorizations (TSOA), and 

request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

cancellation of Technical Standard 

Order (TSO) C–60, Airborne Area 

Navigation Equipment Using Loran-C 

inputs and all subsequent revisions. The 

effect of the cancelled TSOs will result 

in the revocation of all TSOAs issued 

for the production of those navigational 

systems. These actions are necessary 

because the Loran-C Navigation System 

ceased operation on February 8, 2010. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 23, 2010 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Kevin Bridges, AIR–130, Federal 

Aviation Administration, 470 L’Enfant

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

You are invited to comment on the 

cancellation of the TSO and the 

revocation of the associated TSOAs by 

submitting written data, views, or 

arguments to the above address. 

Comments received may be examined, 

both before and after the closing date, at 

the above address, weekdays except 

federal holidays, between 8:30 a.m. and 

4:30 p.m. The Director, Aircraft 

Certification Service, will consider all 

comments received on or before the 

closing date. 

Background 

The Loran-C navigation system ceased 

transmitting usable signals on February 

8, 2010. Because the Loran-C system 

ceased operation, the FAA intends to 

cancel all Loran-C Technical Standard 

Orders and revoke all associated 

Technical Standard Order 

Authorizations (TSOA). 

The FAA database contains one (1) 

specific TSO requiring the Loran-C 

system as a means of navigation, and 

numerous TSOAs issued for the design 

and manufacture of Loran-C avionics 

equipment. This announcement serves 

as notice to all Loran-C TSOA holders 

that the FAA intends to cancel all TSOs 

(including active historical TSOs) and 

revoke all TSOAs for Loran-C avionics 

equipment. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on July 13, 

2010.

Assistant Manager, Aircraft Engineering 

Division, Aircraft Certification Service.

Notice of Availability of a Final 

Environmental Assessment (Final EA) 

and a Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) for 

the Proposed ORD Airport Surveillance 

Radar, Model 9, West Chicago, IL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a Final 

Environmental Assessment (Final EA) 

and Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) for 

the Proposed ORD Airport Surveillance 

Radar, Model 9, West Chicago, Illinois. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that the FAA 

has prepared, and approved on May 4, 

2010, a Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) 

based on the Final Environmental 

Assessment (Final EA) for the Proposed 

ORD Airport Surveillance Radar, Model 

9 (ASR–9), in West Chicago, Illinois. 

The FAA prepared the Final EA in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act and the 

FAA’s regulations and guidelines for 

environmental documents and was 

signed on April 16, 2010. Copies of the 

FONSI/ROD and/or Final EA are 

available by contacting Ms. Virginia 

Marcks through the contact information 

provided below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Virginia Marcks, Manager, Infrastructure 

Engineering Center, AJW–C14D, Federal 

Aviation Administration, 2300 East 

Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 

60018. Telephone number: (847) 294– 

7494. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final 

EA evaluated the construction and 

operation of the new ORD ASR–9 at 

DuPage Airport (DPA) in West Chicago, 

Illinois. The purpose and need of the 

ORD West ASR–9 is to enhance air 

traffic management for ORD to achieve 

the benefits of providing expanded 

radar coverage that would allow 

terminal air traffic control for additional 

new approach routes (West High and 

Wide approaches), as evaluated and 

approved in the O’Hare Modernization 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

and ROD. 

The proposed ASR–9 would be 

constructed at a 200 foot (ft) × 200 ft 

area located west of the intersection of 

Kress Road and Western Drive on land 

leased from DPA. The total height of the 

ASR–9 tower structure would be 116 ft 

above ground level. The ASR–9 system 

consists of a tower, a rotating radar sail 

that transmits and receives the radio 

signals, an equipment building housing 

radar equipment, and an emergency 

generator with an aboveground storage 

tank for diesel fuel. One moving target 

indicator reflector and two Calibration 

and Performance Monitoring Equipment 

modules would be located at least 1 

nautical mile from the preferred ASR– 

9 site. The FAA would construct a 24 

ft wide × 400 ft long access road to the 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
