78330 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 242 / Friday, December 16, 2011 / Notices 

FAA’s determination on the airport 

operator’s Noise Exposure Maps is 

limited to a finding that the maps were 

developed in accordance with the 

procedures contained in Appendix A of 

14 CFR part 150. Such determination 

does not constitute approval of the 

airport operator’s data, information or 

plans, or a commitment to approve a 

Noise Compatibility Program or to fund 

the implementation of that Program. If 

questions arise concerning the precise 

relationship of specific properties to 

noise exposure contours depicted on a 

Noise Exposure Map submitted under 

Section 47503 of the Act, it should be 

noted that the FAA is not involved in 

any way in determining the relative 

locations of specific properties with 

regard to the depicted noise exposure 

contours, or in interpreting the Noise 

Exposure Maps to resolve questions 

concerning, for example, which 

properties should be covered by the 

provisions of Section 47506 of the Act. 

These functions are inseparable from 

the ultimate land use control and 

planning responsibilities of local 

government. These local responsibilities 

are not changed in any way under 14 

CFR part 150 or through FAA’s review 

of Noise Exposure Maps. Therefore, the 

responsibility for the detailed 

overlaying of noise exposure contours 

onto the map depicting properties on 

the surface rests exclusively with the 

airport operator that submitted those 

maps, or with those public agencies and 

planning agencies with which 

consultation is required under Section 

47503 of the Act. The FAA has relied on 

the certification by the airport operator, 

under Section 150.21 of 14 CFR part 

150, that the statutorily required 

consultation has been accomplished. 

Copies of the full Noise Exposure 

Maps documentation and of the FAA’s 

evaluation of the maps are available for 

examination at the following locations:

Petition for Exemption 

Docket No.: FAA–2011–1220. 

Petitioner: Indigenous Peoples 

Technology and Education Center, Inc. 

(ITEC). 

Section of 14 CFR Affected: 

14 CFR part 21, § 21.191(i) 

Description of Relief Sought: The 

relief sought would permit an additional 

weight allowance for operation of a 

powered parachute (PPC), experimental 

light-sport aircraft (ELSA), intended for 

flight operations and operation on 

public roadways, similar to the weight 

allowance for LSA intended for 

operation on water. An exemption 

would enable ITEC to issue a statement 

of compliance (FAA Form 8130–15) for 

each ITEC ‘‘Maverick’’ PPC ELSA ‘‘kit’’ 

for operation at the same weight 

prescribed for LSA intended for 

operation on water. In addition, the 

relief sought would allow any ITEC 

‘‘Maverick’’ PPC special category LSA 

(SLSA) to be converted to ELSA for 

operation in accordance with 

§ 21.191(i)(3).

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Jackson County, NC 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), Department of 

Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that an 

environmental impact statement will be 

prepared for a proposed highway project 

from NC 107 to US 23–74 east of Sylva, 

Jackson County, North Carolina. (TIP 

Project R–4745). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Mitch Batuzich, Preconstruction and 

Environment Specialist, Federal 

Highway Administration, 310 New Bern 

Avenue, Suite 410, Raleigh, North 

Carolina 27601–1418, Telephone: (919) 

747–7033. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the North 

Carolina Department of Transportation 

(NCDOT), will prepare an 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

on the proposed NC 107 Connector from 

NC 107 to US 23–74 east of Sylva. A 

notice of intent was previously 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 1, 2008 (Volume 73, Number 

191) with the following purpose 

description: 

‘‘The purpose of this project is to relieve 

traffic congestion in the Sylva area. The 

proposed action is consistent with the Sylva 

Thoroughfare Plan adopted in 1994 and the 

Jackson County Comprehensive 

Transportation Plan that is anticipated for 

adoption in 2009.’’ 

NC 107 is the major north/south 

transportation corridor in Jackson 

County and several municipalities. It is 

a link in NCDOT’s Strategic Highway 

Corridors Vision Plan as part of the 70- 

mile long Corridor 05 between 

Anderson, SC and Knoxville, TN. It is 

an important route for regional mobility. 

There are no major parallel routes 

within 4 miles of NC 107 that could 

serve as an alternative for north/south 

through traffic. During current peak 

hours, portions of NC 107 between US 

23 Business and NC 116 in the Sylva 

area have reached their traffic carrying 

capacity. 

The purpose of the project is being 

revised. Traffic studies show that 

substantial upgrades to existing NC 107/ 

US 23 Business are needed to provide 

acceptable levels of traffic service in the 

future. The purpose of the proposed 

action is to develop a transportation 

solution that improves the NC 107 

north/south vehicular mobility by 

increasing average speeds for through 

traffic between US 23–74 and NC 107 

south of Sylva. Alternatives to be 

studied may include: (1) The ‘no-build’ 

alternative, (2) improve existing 

facilities, and (3) a highway on new 

location.’’ 

Letters describing the proposed action 

and soliciting comments have been sent 

to appropriate Federal, State and local 

agencies. Citizens Informational 

Workshops and meetings with local 

officials and neighborhood groups will 

be held in the study area. Public 

hearings will also be held. Information 

on the time and place of the workshops 

and hearings will be provided in the 

local news media. The draft EIS will be 

available for public and agency review 

and comment at the time of the hearing. 

An interagency project team is being 

assembled to obtain input on major 

milestones during the project’s 

development. These include the 

purpose and need, detailed study 

alternatives, bridge lengths, alignment 

reviews, the preferred alternative, and 

avoidance and minimization of 

environmental impacts. 

The purpose and need statement for 

the project is being developed. To 

ensure that the full range of issues 

related to the proposed action is 

addressed and all significant issues are 

identified, comments and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments and questions concerning the 

proposed action should be directed to 

the FHWA at the address provided 

above.
