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/

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.

Federal Aviation Administration 

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,

Written Comment Received During 

Consultation’’. 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 Highway Administration 

Buy America Waiver Notification 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice provides 

information regarding the FHWA’s 

finding that a Buy America waiver is 

appropriate for the use of non-domestic 

35′, 45′, and 55′ Pre-stressed Spun 

Concrete Transmission and Distribution 

Power Poles in the Territory of Guam for 

synchronization of the existing system. 

This waiver is a general standing waiver 

that is applicable to the Territory of 

Guam. 

DATES: The effective date of the waiver 

is February 13, 2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions about this notice, please 

contact Mr. Gerald Yakowenko, FHWA 

Office of Program Administration, (202) 

366–1562, or via email at 

gerald.yakowenko@dot.gov. For legal 

questions, please contact Mr. Michael 

Harkins, FHWA Office of the Chief 

Counsel, (202) 366–4928, or via email at

Printing Office’s database at: http://

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 America 

waiver 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
