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.

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

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 the 

introduction 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:

T.F.Green Airport, 2000 Post Road, 

Warwick, RI 02886;
