Beginning on 11 February 2013, experts may register and access the Second Order Draft of the report to contribute to the U.S. Government review at: review.globalchange.gov. To be considered for inclusion in the U.S. Government submission, comments must be received by 22 March 2013. The United States Global Change Research Program will coordinate collection and compilation of U.S. expert comments to develop a consolidated U.S. Government submission, which will be provided to the IPCC by 7 April 2013. Instructions for review and submission of comments are available at: review.globalchange.gov.

Experts may choose to provide comments directly through the IPCC’s Expert Review process, which occurs in parallel with the U.S. Government Review. More information on the IPCC’s comment process can be found at http:// www.ipcc.ch/activities/activities.shtml and http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/ forms/wetlandsreview

_registration.html. To avoid duplication, comments submitted for consideration as part of the U.S. Government Review should not also be sent to the IPCC Secretariat through the Expert Review process (and vice versa). Comments to the U.S. government review should be submitted using the web-based system at: review.globalchange.gov.

This certification will be published in the Federal Register

**Noise Exposure Map Notice Nashville Interntional Airport, Nashville, TN** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its determination that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted by Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority for Nashville 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 :**  Effective Date: The effective date of the FAA’s determination on the noise exposure maps is February 4, 2013.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Phillip J. Braden, Federal Aviation Administration, Memphis Airports District Office, 2862 Business Park Drive, Building G, Memphis, Tennessee
38118, 901–322–8181.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This notice announces that the FAA finds that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted for Nashville International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150, effective February 4, 2013. Under 49 U.S.C. section 47503 of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (the Act), an airport operator may submit to the FAA Noise Exposure Maps which meet applicable regulations and which depict noncompatible 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 airport 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 Noise Exposure Maps and accompanying documentation submitted by Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority. The documentation that constitutes the ‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in Section 150.7 of 14 CFR part 150 includes: ‘‘Figure 2, Nashville International Airport Surrounding Communities p.7; Figure 3, Existing Conditions (2012) Noise Exposure Map; Forecast Condition (2017) Noise Exposure Map; Figure 5, Comparison of Existing (2012) and Forecast (2017) Noise Exposure Maps; Table 4, Runway Details p. 42; Table 5, Modeled Average Daily Aircraft Operations for 2012 p. 45; Table 6, Modeled Average Daily Aircraft Operations for 2017 p. 48; Table 7, Designated Runup Locations and Use Guidance p. 50; Table 8, Modeled Average Daily Runup Operations for

The FAA has determined that these Noise Exposure Maps and accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on February 4, 2013.

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: Federal Aviation Administration, Memphis Airports District Office, 2862 Business Park Drive, Building G, Memphis, Tennessee 38118.

Background

The FHWA’s Buy America policy in 23 CFR 635.410 requires a domestic manufacturing process for any steel or iron products (including protective coatings) that are permanently incorporated in a Federal-aid construction project. The regulation also provides for a waiver of the Buy America requirements when the application would be inconsistent with the public interest or when satisfactory quality domestic steel and iron products are not sufficiently available. This notice provides information regarding the FHWA’s finding that a Buy Americawaiver is appropriate to use nondomestic 35 ′ , 45 ′ , and 55 ′ Pre-stressed Spun Concrete Transmission and Distribution Power Poles in Territory of
Guam.

In accordance with Division A, section 122 of the ‘‘Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012’’ (Pub. L. 112–55), the FHWA published a notice of intent to issue a waiver on its Web site for 35 ′ , 45 ′ , and

55 ′ Pre-stressed Spun Concrete Transmission and Distribution Power Poles in the Territory of Guam and April 4, 2012, (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ construction/contracts/ waivers.cfm?id=72 ) and on and March 5, 2012, (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ construction/contracts/ waivers.cfm?id=66). The FHWA received three comments in response to the publication for the 35 ′ poles. One commenter (Allen Ackland) supported the waiver by reference to a comment submitted in response to the publication regarding the 45 ′ and 55 ′ poles. Another commenter (Pratip Lahiri) stated that he did not see the actual request to review and therefore could not make a definite statement about the waiver. The third commenter (Robin Shishido) stated that the documentation is same with that of

45 ′ and 55 ′ pre-stressed spun concrete transmission and distribution power poles. Also, the FHWA received two
