SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

invites public comment on the request 

to release a 44.47 acre parcel of airport 

property at the Philip Billard Airport, 

(TOP) provisions of 49 U.S.C. 

47107(h)(2). The Metropolitan Topeka 

Airport Authority requested a release 

from the FAA to sell a 44.47 acre parcel 

for continued use as agricultural 

production. The FAA determined this 

request to release and sell property at 

the Philip Bilard Airport (TOP) 

submitted by the Sponsor meets the 

procedural requirements of the FAA and 

the release and sale of the property does 

not and will not impact future aviation 

needs at the airport. The FAA may 

approve the request, in whole or in part, 

no sooner than thirty days after the 

publication of this notice. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

The Metropolitan Topeka Airport 

Authority (TOP) is proposing the release 

from obligations and sale of a 44.47 acre 

parcel of airport property. The release of 

land is necessary to comply with 

Federal Aviation Administration Grant 

Assurances that do not allow federally 

acquired airport property to be used for 

non-aviation purposes. The sale of the 

subject property will result in the land 

at the Philip Billard Airport ( ) being 

changed from aeronautical to nonaeronautical use and release the lands 

from the conditions of the Airport 

Improvement Program Grant Agreement 

Grant Assurances in order to sell the 

land. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport 

will receive fair market value for the 

property, which will be subsequently 

reinvested in another eligible airport 

improvement project for general 

aviation use. 

Any person may inspect, by 

appointment, the request in person at 

the FAA office listed above under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In 

addition, any person may request an 

appointment to inspect the application, 

notice and other documents determined 

by the FAA to be related to the 

application in person at the 

Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority 

Business Center.

Title: Agricultural Aircraft 

Operations. 

Form Numbers: FAA Form 8710–3. 

Type of Review: Renewal. 

Background: This collection involves 

the application for issuance or 

amendment of a 14 CFR part 137 

Agricultural Aircraft Operator 

Certificate. Application for an original 

certificate or amendment of a certificate 

issued under 14 CFR part 137 is made 

on a form, and in a manner prescribed 

by the Administrator. The FAA form 

8710–3 may be obtained from an FAA 

Flight Standards District Office, or 

online at https://www.faa.gov/forms/ 

index.cfm/go/document.information/ 

documentID/1020386. The completed 

application is sent to the district office 

that has jurisdiction over the area in 

which the applicant’s home base of 

operation is located. 

The information collected includes: 

type of application, operator’s name/ 

DBA, telephone number, mailing 

address, physical address of the 

principal base of operations, chief pilot/ 

designee name, airman certificate grade 

and number, and aircraft make/model 

and registration numbers to be used. 

This information collection also 

includes safety mitigation plans and 

public interest statements in petitions 

for exemption; plans for operations over 

congested areas; and recordkeeping 

requirements. 

Respondents: There are 1,763 active 

agricultural aircraft operators. 

Approximately 50 operators are 

certificated annually, and 

approximately 50 certificates are 

surrendered or revoked. 

Frequency: New applications when 

needed; current 14 CFR part 137 

certificate do not expire, but may need 

to be amended on occasion. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: The FAA anticipates 100 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
84240 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 203 / Monday, October 21, 2024 / Notices 

applications for new certificates, at 0.5 

hours each; 100 applications for 

amendment, at 0.5 hours each; 100 

petitions for exemption, at 0.5 hours 

each; and 350 submissions of plans for 

operations over congested areas, at 0.5 

hours each. The total reporting burden 

is thus 650 responses and 325 hours. 

All operators certificated under part 

137 are required to maintain certain 

records for a minimum of 12 months. 

The FAA estimates this recordkeeping 

burden at 4.5 hours per operator. 

Assuming a universe of 1,763 operators, 

the annual recordkeeping burden is 

7,934 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 325 

reporting hours + 7,934 recordkeeping 

hours = 8,259 total hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Scenic Byway Program

Background: The Federal Highway

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users in 2005. The NSBP is a grass-roots 

collaborative effort established to help 

recognize, preserve, and enhance 

selected roads throughout the United 

States. Before 2019, Congress last 

authorized discretionary NSBP funds in 

2012 under the Surface Transportation 

Extension Act of 2012. Between 1992
