BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Public Notice for Waiver for 

Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance at 

Will Rogers World Airport, Oklahoma 

City, OK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent for Waiver of 

Aeronautical Land-Use. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is considering a 

proposal to change a portion of the 

airport from aeronautical use to 

nonaeronautical use and to authorize 

the conversion of the airport property. 

The proposal consists of three parcels of 

land containing a total of approximately 

127 acres located on the east side of the 

airport between South Portland Avenue 

and Interstate Highway 44. 

These parcels were originally 

acquired under the following grants: 

Airport Improvement Program (AIP) 

Nos. 3–40–0072–03 and 3–40–0072–07 

in 1990; AIP No. 3–40–0072–23 in 1992; 

and AIP No. 3–40–0072–24 in 1993. The 

land comprising these parcels is outside 

the forecasted need for aviation 

development and, thus, is no longer 

needed for indirect or direct 

aeronautical use. The Airport wishes to 

develop this land for compatible 

commercial, nonaeronautical use. The 

income from the conversion of these 

parcels will benefit the aviation 

community by reinvestment in the 

airport. 

Approval does not constitute a 

commitment by the FAA to financially 

assist in the conversion of the subject 

airport property nor a determination of 

eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from 

the FAA. The disposition of proceeds 

from the conversion of the airport 

property will be in accordance with 

FAA’s Policy and Procedures 

Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue, 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 16, 1999. In accordance with 

section 47107(h) of title 49, United 

States Code, this notice is required to be 

published in the Federal Register 30 

days before modifying the land-use 

assurance that requires the property to 

be used for an aeronautical purpose. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 14, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this 

document to Mr. Edward N. Agnew, 

Federal Aviation Administration, 

Arkansas/Oklahoma Airports 

Development Office Manager, 2601 

Meacham Boulevard, Fort Worth, TX

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, 

FMCSA may grant an exemption from 

the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations for a 2-year period if it finds 

‘‘such exemption would likely achieve a 

level of safety that is equivalent to or 

greater than the level that would be 

achieved absent such exemption.’’ 

FMCSA can renew exemptions at the 

end of each 2-year period. The 11 

individuals listed in this notice have 

each requested such an exemption from 

the vision requirement in 49 CFR 

391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers 

of CMVs in interstate commerce. 

Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate 

the qualifications of each applicant to 

determine whether granting an 

exemption will achieve the required 

level of safety mandated by statute.
