transactions act, which is considering a

variety of legal issues for possible

inclusion in uniform state laws. The

NCCUSL Drafting Group will meet in

Arlington, Virginia September 19–21;

information on that meeting can be

obtained as indicated below.

The State Department Advisory

Committee meeting will review issues

that may arise at meetings of the United

Nations Commission on International

Trade Law (UNCITRAL) and possibly at

other bodies relating to digital and other

forms of electronic signatures. For this

purpose meeting participants or

commentators may wish to express

views on the report of the UNCITRAL

Working Group on Electronic

Commerce’s first inter-governmental

meeting on digital signatures, U.N. Doc.

A/CN.9/437, March 12, 1997, which is

available from outlets for United

Nations documents or directly from the

State Department’s Office of Legal

Adviser at contact numbers set out

below.

Issues that may be reviewed by the

Advisory Committee include, but are

not limited to, whether it is preferable

to encourage international bodies to

examine all forms of electronic

signatures, or concentrate on digital

signature systems; whether national or

international legal norms should

encompass both regulated/licensed

systems and unregulated private sector

systems; whether rules for digital

systems should encompass rules for

commercial transactions, and if so, what

types of rules; whether rules on risk

allocation, attribution and reliance are

critical; whether third party assurance

providers, such as certifying authorities,

should have to meet minimum levels of

assurance; what role information

security standards should play in this

process; whether rules are needed on

incorporation by reference of systems

rules or other underlying standards;

what types of rules for crosscertification between different countries

are feasible; whether agreement should

be sought on underlying rules for

accreditation, and if so, in what

international bodies; and other related

issues.

Related developments in this field

will be reviewed as appropriate,

including those of the National

Conference of Commissioners and the

American Bar Association, as well as

State and Federal initiatives, including

those under the auspices of the

Commerce Department, the Postal

system, and others. The relationship

between electronic signature systems

and preliminary work on international

electronic registries for commercial

finance interests will also be examined,

depending on time availability.

Participants may wish to review the

recently completed UNCITRAL Model

Law on Electronic Commerce, available

with a Guide to Enactment from U.N.

document outlets as Doc. V.97–22269,

May 1997, or from the Office of the

Legal Adviser, which covers the legal

effect and validity of computer messages

in commercial transactions; functional

equivalents of signatures, writings, etc.;

attribution of messages; time and place

where communications are deemed to

have taken place, and other matters.

The meeting of the Advisory

Committee Study Group is open to the

public up to the capacity of the meeting

room, and will be held at the

Department of State in Conference

Room 5951. Participants should use the

21st Street entrance between C and D

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Approval of Noise Compatibility

Program; Laughlin/Bullhead

International Airport, Bullhead City, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) announces its

findings on the Noise Compatibility

Program submitted by the Mohave

County Airport Authority, Inc., under

the provisions of Title I of the Aviation

Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979

(Pub. L. 96–193) and 14 CFR part 150.

These findings are made in recognition

of the description of federal and

nonfederal responsibilities in Senate

Report No. 96–52 (1980). On July 9,

1996, the FAA determined that the

noise exposure maps submitted by the

Mohave County Airport Authority,

under Part 150, were in compliance

with applicable requirements. On July

25, 1997, the Associate Administrator

for Airports approved the Laughlin/

Bullhead International Airport Noise

Compatibility Program. There are 19

specific elements of the program. Eleven

elements were approved outright, five

elements were approved as voluntary

measures. One element, the ATIS

system, was approved in part as a

voluntary measure and disapproved in

part for installing the equipment as the

sole purpose for carrying a noise

abatement message. One element, the

relocation of the maintenance operation

to the east side of the airport, was

disapproved pending submission of

additional information to make an

informed analysis regarding the noise

benefit of the enclosure for the targeted

residential areas. Additionally, one

element, the preferential north flow of

aircraft traffic, was disapproved because

of air traffic control operational

problems.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the

FAA’s approval for the Laughlin/

Bullhead International Airport noise

compatibility program is July 25, 1997.

Compatibility Program for the Laughlin/

Under Section 104(a) of the Aviation

Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979

(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’), an

airport operator who has previously
