Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 28 / Friday, February 9, 2024 / Notices 9285 

questions arise concerning the precise 

relationship of specific properties 

within noise exposure contours 

depicted on a noise exposure map, 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 

contours or in interpreting the noise 

exposure maps to resolve questions 

concerning, for example, which 

properties should be covered by the 

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47506. 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 review and 

acceptance of a noise exposure map. 

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 a noise exposure map or 

with those public and planning agencies 

with which consultation is required 

under 49 U.S.C. 47503. The FAA relied 

on the certification by the airport 

operator, under of 14 CFR 150.21 that 

the required consultations and 

opportunity for public review has been 

accomplished during the development 

of the noise exposure maps. Copies of 

the noise exposure map and supporting 

documentation and the FAA’s 

evaluation of the noise exposure maps 

are available for examination at the 

following locations: Federal Aviation 

Administration Chicago Airports 

District Office, 2300 Devon Avenue, 

Suite 312, Des Plaines, IL 60018, and 

Dane County Regional Airport/Truax 

Field and Dane County at 4000 

International Lane, Madison, WI 53704.

notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Tunnel Inspection 

Program. 

OMB Control No.: 2125–0640. 

Background: This collection is 

necessary to meet legislative 

requirements of 23 U.S.C. 144 and 23 

CFR part 650, subpart E—National 

Tunnel Inspection Standards which 

require States, Federal agencies, and 

Tribal governments to: (1) perform, and 

report inventory and element data from, 

initial, routine, damage, in-depth, and 

special inspections as appropriate for all 

highway tunnels on public roads, and 

(2) report critical findings on highway 

tunnels. The critical findings 

information is periodically provided to 

the FHWA. The tunnel information is 

used for multiple purposes, including: 

(1) the determination of the condition of 

the Nation’s tunnels; (2) for various 

reports to Congress on Tunnel Safety; 

(3) for conducting oversight of the 

National Tunnel Inspection Program at 

the State, Federal agency, and Tribal 

level; and (4) for strategic national 

defense needs. 

Respondents: 42 States, the District of 

Columbia, Puerto Rico and 4 Federal 

agencies. The number of inspection per 

respondent varies in accordance with 

the National Tunnel Inspection 

Standards. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: The estimated average burden 

for each tunnel inspection is 40 hours. 

The estimated average burden for 

reporting critical findings is 40 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: The annual burden hours 

associated with this renewal is 15,880 

hours. This estimated figure is based on 

annual instances for tunnel inspections 

multiplied by 40 hours (13,960 hours); 

plus 40 hours for follow up on critical 

findings multiplied by 48 respondents 

(1,920 hours) for a combined annual 

burden of 15,880 hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the FHWA’s performance; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the collected information; and 

(4) ways that the burden could be 

minimized, including the use of 

electronic technology, without reducing 

the quality of the collected information. 

The agency will summarize and/or 

include your comments in the request 

for OMB’s clearance of this information 

collection. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as 

amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.
