**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

Under 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e), FMCSA may renew an exemption from the CDL requirements of 49 CFR 383.23 for a maximum 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. ’’ The procedures for requesting an exemption (including renewals) are prescribed in 49 CFR part 381. FMCSA evaluated Volvo’s application and decided to grant the renewal of the exemption for five of Volvo’s engineers and technicians for a 2-year period, effective February 4, 2010, as previously announced in the Federal Register (75 FR 33663, June 14, 2010).

Comments

In the Federal Register notice of June 14, 2010, FMCSA requested public comment on the renewal; the Agency received none in the 30-day comment period (FMCSA Docket No. FMCSA– 2006–25756).

Terms and Conditions for the Exemption

Based upon its evaluation of the application, FMCSA granted Volvo a renewal of the exemption from the Federal CDL requirement in 49 CFR 383.23 for a period of 2 years from February 4, 2010, through February 4, 2012, for 5 drivers (Jonas Gustafsson, Christer Milding, Jonas Nilsson, Bjorn Nyman, and Sten-Ake Sandberg) who test-drive CMVs within the United States. The exemption is subject to the following terms and conditions: (1) This exemption is valid only when these drivers are acting within the scope of their employment by Volvo, (2) The drivers must keep a copy of the exemption on the vehicle at all times for presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local enforcement official, (3) The drivers and Volvo must adhere to driver disqualification rules under 49 CFR parts 383 and 391 that apply to other CMV drivers in the United States, (4) The drivers and Volvo must adhere to drug and alcohol regulations, including testing, as provided by in 49 CFR part 382, (5) The drivers are subject to all other provisions of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) (49 CFR 390–397) unless specifically exempted herein, (6) Volvo must notify FMCSA in writing of any accident, as defined in 49 CFR 390.5, involving this exempted driver, and (7) Volvo must notify FMCSA in writing if this driver is convicted of a disqualifying offense described in sections 383.51 or 391.15 of the FMCSRs.

This exemption will be revoked if: (1) The drivers for Volvo fail to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained before it was granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136.

**Noise Exposure Map Notice, T.F.Green Airport, Warwick, RI** 

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

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its determination that the noise exposure maps for T.F.Green Airport as submitted by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation under the provisions of Title I of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96–193) 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 July 27, 2010.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Richard Doucette, Federal Aviation Administration, New England Region, Airports Division, 12 New England Executive Park, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This notice announces that the FAA finds that the noise exposure maps submitted for T.F.Green Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of part 150, effective July 27, 2010.


### 47882 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 152 / Monday, August 9, 2010 / Notices

Under Section 103 of Title I of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (hereinafter referred to as

‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may submit to the FAA noise exposure maps that meet applicable regulations and that 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 such noise exposure maps that are found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 150, promulgated pursuant to Title I of the Act, may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval that sets forth the measures the operator has taken, or proposes, for theintroduction of additional noncompatible uses.

The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure map and related descriptions submitted by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation. The specific maps under consideration were Figure 1 Existing Condition (2010) Noise Exposure Map, Figure 2 Forecast Condition (2020 EIS No-action) Noise Exposure Map, and Figure 3 Forecast Conditions (2020 EIS Preferred Alternative) Noise Exposure Map in the submission. The FAA has determined that these maps for T.F.Green Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on July 27, 2010.

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 FAR 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 103 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 questions concerning, for example, which properties should be covered by the provisions of section 107 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 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 the map or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which consultation is required under section 103 of the Act. The FAA has relied on the certification by the airport operator, under section 150.21 of FAR Part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has been accomplished.

Copies of the noise exposure maps and of the FAA’s evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the following locations: Rhode Island Airport Corporation T.F.Green Airport, 2000 Post Road,

Warwick, RI 02886; Or: Federal Aviation Administration, New

England Region, Airports Division, 12 New England Executive Park, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803. Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the heading: **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION**
