Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 153 / Wednesday, August 8, 2018 / Notices 39149 

application for a release of 

approximately 9.34 acres of airport 

property at the Daniel K. Inouye 

International Airport (HNL), Honolulu, 

Hawaii from all federal obligations 

contained in the Quitclaim Deed, dated 

April 18, 2000, and Grant Assurances 

because the portion of land is not 

needed for airport purposes. The land 

requested to be released is located 

approximately one mile east of the 

airport completely separated by a lagoon 

and the Sand Island Access Road, a 

major public roadway. The release will 

allow the State of Hawaii (State) to 

transfer the property from the State 

Airports Division at fair market value to 

the State Highways and Harbors 

Divisions, thereby benefiting the Airport

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

The State of Hawaii requested a 

release from public airport purposes and 

grant assurance obligations for 

approximately 9.34 acres of airport land 

from the 11.34-acre site to allow for its 

sale and a land-use change to use for 

other than aeronautical purposes on the 

remaining approximately 2.0 acres of 

airport property. In 1989, Congress 

authorized conveying the 11.34 acres 

land to the State of Hawaii under Public 

Law 101–189, Section 2814, Land 

Conveyances, Kapalama Military 

Reservation, Hawaii. Under Governor’s 

Executive Order No. 4454 dated April 

25, 2014, the 11.34-acre parcel was set 

aside to the State of Hawaii, Department 

of Transportation for public airport 

purposes. The land is located 

approximately one mile east of the 

airfield, outside of the airport, separated 

by the Keehi Lagoon, and the Sand 

Island Access Road. The land has been 

utilized for industrial warehouse 

operations during most of the past ten 

years and is currently vacant. The land 

no longer serves an airport purpose. 

The State of Hawaii will transfer the 

Airports Division’s jurisdiction of 

approximately 8.37 acres parcel to the 

State Harbors Division and 

approximately 0.97 acres of property to 

the State Highways Division totaling 

approximately 9.34 acres for fair market 

value compensation. The Airports 

Division will retain and lease the 

remaining 2.0 acres of the land for fair 

market rental value for non-aeronautical 

revenue producing purposes. 

The sales proceeds and rental income 

will be devoted to airport operations 

and capital projects. The reuse of the 

property will not interfere with the 

airport or its operation; thereby, serve 

the interests of civil aviation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

IAMFTF and IASFPF began in the early 

1990’s as forums to discuss aircraft fire 

safety research. 

The IAMFTF began in 1991 to provide 

a forum for discussion of aircraft 

materials fire test methods, and to 

enable interested parties to contribute to 

improvement of those test methods 

through research. The IAMFTF also 

provides a setting to share research 

information generated by the FAA as 

well as other entitites. Topics include 

tests to assess flammability properties of 

thermal/acoustic insulation, composite 

structure, electrical wiring and nontradtional metal alloys. The meetings 

typically occur 3 times per year in the 

spring, summer and fall, and are 

facilitated by the Fire Safety Branch at 

the FAA’s William J. Hughes Technical 

Center. 

The IASFPF began as a forum to 

discuss research and development 

(R&D) on replacements of Halon fire 

extguishing agents in October 1993. The 

IASFPF originally focused on R&D into 

minimum performance standards and 

test methodologies for non-halon 

aircraft fire suppression agents/systems 

in cargo compartments, engine nacelles, 

hand held extinguishers, and lavatory 

trash receptacles. The IASFPF’s focus 

has expanded to include a forum for 

R&D for all aircraft system fire 

protection. The meetings occur twice 

per year, typically in May and October 

and are also facilitated by the Fire 

Safety Branch at the FAA’s William J. 

Hughes Technical Center. 

Topics include research into 

minimum performance standards for 

aircraft handheld extinguishers, cargo 

compartment fire suppression systems, 

and engine nacelles. Halon replacement 

agents for these areas are also discussed. 

Additionally, topics such as research on 

powerplants fire testing, lithium 

batteries, fuel cells, fuel tank explosion 

protection (including fuel flammability, 

nitrogen inerting, other methods of

explosion protection), fire protection in 

hidden areas of the aircraft, and fire 

detection R&D are discussed in the 

IASFPF. 

The IAMFTF and IASFPF meetings 

follow a town hall style format. Neither 

has a standing membership, nor is an 

advisory body and do not make 

recommendations on regulations or 

policy. Any technical research issues 

that have future relevance to regulations 

or policy will be handled through the 

formal processes in place to include full 

public participation. 

The meetings are open to the public, 

and are typically attended by the 

international aviation community 

including industry, government, and 

academia with an interest in aircraft fire 

protection systems. Due to limited 

capacity, advanced registration is 

required to attend.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. FMCSA–2016–0130] 

Commercial Driver’s License: 

Application for Exemption; Missouri 

Department of Revenue (DOR) 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of application for 

renewal of exemption; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that it has 

received an application from the 

Missouri DOR for a renewal of its 

exemption from the Agency’s 

commercial driver’s license (CDL) 

regulations. These regulations require a 

driver to pass the general knowledge 

test before being issued a Commercial 

Learner’s Permit (CLP). The exemption 

renewal would allow the Missouri DOR 

to continue to waive the mandatory 

knowledge test requirement for 

qualified veterans who participated in 

dedicated training in approved military 

programs. The Missouri DOR states that 

its goal is to continue to assist qualified 

veterans in obtaining employment when 

returning to the civilian workforce, and 

granting this exemption renewal will 

assist those veterans who have already 

been through extensive military 

training. The Missouri DOR currently 

holds an exemption for the period of 

October 27, 2016, through October 29, 

2018, and is requesting a 2-year 

renewal. FMCSA requests public 

comment on the Missouri DOR’s 

application for exemption. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 7, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by Federal Docket 

Management System (FDMS) Number 

FMCSA–2016–0130 by any of the 

following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal:
