Availability of Noise Compatibility 

Program for Chicago Rockford 

International Airport, Rockford, Illinois 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the updated noise 

exposure maps submitted by the Greater 

Rockford Airport Authority for the 

Chicago Rockford International Airport 

under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 

et seq. (Aviation Safety and Noise 

Abatement Act) and 14 CFR part 150 are 

in compliance with applicable 

requirements. 

DATES: This notice is effective January 

22, 2014, and applicable January 13, 

2014. The public comment period ends 

February 14, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Amy Hanson, Environmental Protection 

Specialist, CHI–603, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Chicago Airport District 

Office, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des 

Plaines, IL 60018. Telephone number: 

847–294–7354. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the updated noise exposure maps 

submitted for Chicago Rockford 

International Airport are in compliance 

with applicable requirements of Title 14 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

150. Under 49 U.S.C. 47503 of the 

Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

Act (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the 

Act’’), an airport operator may submit to 

the FAA noise exposure maps which 

meet applicable regulations and which 

depict non-compatible land uses as of 

the date of submission of such maps, a 

description of projected aircraft 

operations, and the ways in which such 

operations will affect such maps. The 

Act requires such maps to be developed 

in consultation with interested and 

affected parties in the local community, 

government agencies, and persons using 

the airport. An airport operator who has 

submitted noise exposure maps that are 

found by FAA to be in compliance with 

the requirements of 14 CFR part 150, 

promulgated pursuant to the Act, may 

submit a noise compatibility program 

for FAA approval which sets forth the 

measures the operator has taken or 

proposes to take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the updated noise exposure maps and 

accompanying documentation 

submitted by Greater Rockford Airport 

Authority. The documentation that 

constitutes the ‘‘noise exposure maps’’ 

as defined in § 150.7 includes: Exhibit 

NEM–1, Existing (2013) Noise Exposure 

Map; Exhibit NEM–2, Future (2018) 

Noise Exposure Map; Table 2, 

Distribution of Average Daily 

Operations by Aircraft Type Existing 

(2013) Conditions; Exhibit 2, INM Jet 

Departure Flight Tracks; Exhibit 3, INM 

Jet Arrival Flight Tracks; Exhibit 4, INM 

Prop Departure Flight Tracks; Exhibit 5, 

INM Prop Departure Flight Tracks; 

Exhibit 6, INM Touch-and-Go Flight 

Tracks; Exhibit 8, Existing (2013) Noise 

Exposure Contour Compared to 

(Previous) Future 2008 NEM/NCP (from 

2003 Study); Exhibit 11, Existing (2013) 

Noise Exposure Contour compared to 

Future (2018) Noise Exposure Contour; 

Table 14, Population, Housing, and 

Noise-Sensitive Facilities Exposed to 

Various Noise Levels 2018 Noise 

Exposure; Table 15, Supplemental Grid 

Analysis Report-Existing (2013) NEM 

Compared to Future (2018) NEM, and; 

Exhibit F–1, Existing Noise-Sensitive 

Facilities and Historic Properties. 

The FAA has determined that these 

updated noise exposure maps and 

accompanying documentation are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on January 13, 2014. FAA’s 

determination on an 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 applicant’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 contours, or in interpreting the 

noise exposure maps to resolve 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
3662 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 14 / Wednesday, January 22, 2014 / Notices 

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 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 § 150.21 that the statutorily 

required consultation has been 

accomplished. 

Copies of the full updated noise 

exposure map documentation and of the 

FAA’s evaluation of the maps are 

available for examination, upon prior 

appointment during normal business 

hours, at the following locations: 

Chicago Rockford International 

Airport, Greater Rockford Airport 

Authority, 60 Airport Drive, Rockford,

Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping 

Requirements 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), U.S. 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Department of 

Transportation invites public comments 

about our intention to request the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval to renew an information 

collection. The collection involves 

labeling information from 

manufacturers of brake hoses, end 

fittings, and brake hose assemblies. The 

information to be collected will be used 

to and/or is necessary to satisfy the 

requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle 

Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 106, 

Brake Hoses. We are required to publish 

this notice in the Federal Register by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by March 24, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

[identified by Docket No. DOT– 

NHTSA–2013–0142] through one of the

Joshua Fikentscher, Office of Vehicle 

Safety Compliance (NVS–120), National 

Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 

West Building—4th Floor—Room W43– 

467, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., 

Washington, DC 20590. Mr. 

Fikentscher’s phone number is (202) 

366–1688. 

Please identify the relevant collection 

of information by referring to its OMB 

Control Number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0052. 

Title: Brake Hose Manufacturers 

Identification. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Background: 49 U.S.C. 30101 et seq., 

as amended (‘‘the Safety Act’’), 

authorizes NHTSA to issue FMVSSs. 

The Safety Act mandates that in issuing 

any FMVSSs, the agency is to consider 

whether the standard is reasonable and 

appropriate for the particular type of 

motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle 

equipment for which it is prescribed. 

Using this authority, FMVSS No. 106, 

Brake Hoses, was issued. This standard 

specifies labeling and performance 

requirements which apply to all 

manufacturers of brake hoses and brake 

hose end fittings, and to those who 

assemble brake hoses. Prior to 

assembling or selling brake hoses, these 

entities must register their identification 

marks with NHTSA to comply with the 

labeling requirements of this standard. 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, the agency must obtain 

OMB approval to continue collecting 

labeling information. Currently, there 

are 1,944 manufacturers of brake hoses 

and end fittings, and brake hose 

assemblers, registered with NHTSA. 

However, only approximately 20 

respondents annually request to have 

their symbol added to or removed from 

the NHTSA database. To comply with 

this standard, each brake hose 

manufacturer or assembler must contact 

NHTSA and state that they want to be 

added to or removed from the NHTSA 

database of registered brake hose 

manufacturers. This action is usually 

initiated by the manufacturer with a 

brief written request via U.S. mail, 

facsimile, an email message, or a 

telephone call. Currently, a majority of 

the requests are received via U.S. mail 

and the follow-up paperwork is 

conducted via facsimile, U.S. mail, or 

electronic mail. The estimated cost for 

complying with this regulation is $100 

per hour. Therefore, the total annual 

cost is estimated to be $3,000 (time 

burden of 30 hours x $100 cost per 

hour). 

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit. 

Number of Respondents: 20. 

Number of Responses: 20. 

Total Annual Burden: 30 hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the 

Department’s performance; (b) the 

accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) 

ways for the Department to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information collection; and (d) ways 

that the burden could be minimized 

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.
