SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

invites public comment on the request 

to change approximately 15.42± acres of 

airport property at the Marshall 

Memorial Municipal Airport (MHL) 

from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use for revenue producing. 

The parcel of land is located along the 

North line of Fairground Road. This 

parcel will be used for a solar farm. The 

land will be leased to MC Power for the 

solar farm. 

No airport landside or airside 

facilities are presently located on this 

parcel, nor are airport developments 

contemplated in the future. Farming is 

the current use of the surface of the 

parcel. The parcel will serve as a 

revenue producing lot with the 

proposed change from aeronautical to 

non-aeronautical. The request submitted 

by the Sponsor meets the procedural 

requirements of the Federal Aviation 

Administration and the change to nonaeronautical status 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 Marshall Memorial Municipal 

Airport (MHL) is proposing the release 

of one parcel, of 15.42 acres, more or 

less from aeronautical to nonaeronautical. 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 rental of the 

subject property will result in the land 

at the Marshall Memorial Municipal 

Airport (MHL) being changed from 

aeronautical to nonaeronautical use and 

release the lands from the conditions of 

the Airport Improvement Program Grant 

Agreement Grant Assurances. In 

accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

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

will receive fair market rental value for 

the property. The annual income from 

rent payments will generate a long-term, 

revenue-producing stream that will 

further the Sponsor’s obligation under 

FAA Grant Assurance number 24, to 

make the Marshall Memorial Municipal 

Airport as financially self-sufficient as 

possible. 

Following is a legal description of the 

subject airport property at the Marshall 

Memorial Municipal Airport (MHL): 

A tract of land located in the 

Southwest Quarter of Section 22 T50N 

R21W, in Marshall, Saline County, 

Missouri, and further described as 

follows: 

Commencing at the Southwest Corner 

of said section 22, thence along the 

South line of said section, S. 89°09′20′′ 

E. 383.83 feet; Thence N. 00°50′40′′ E. 

20.00 feet, to a point on the East Right 

of Way of U.S. Highway 65, and the 

point of beginning. 

From the point of beginning, thence 

continuing along said Right of Way, on 

a curve to the right, having a radius of 

2,774.79 feet, a distance of 732.57 feet, 

the chord being N. 17°16′20′′ W. 730.45 

feet; thence S. 83°49′30′′ E. 1,163.93 feet; 

thence S. 01°54′00′′ W. 586.19 feet; to 

the North line of Fairground Road; 

thence along said North line N. 

89°09′20′′ 920.98 feet, to the point of 

beginning, containing 15.42 acres. 

Any person may inspect, by 

appointment, the request in person at 

the FAA office listed above FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. In addition, any 

person may, upon appointment and 

request, inspect the application, notice 

and other documents determined by the

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice for 

Baltimore/Washington International 

Thurgood Marshall Airport, Anne 

Arundel County, Maryland 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by the Maryland 

Aviation Administration for Baltimore/ 

Washington International Thurgood 

Marshall 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 August 31, 2016. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Washington Airports District Office 

(WAS ADO), Marcus Brundage,

Office, 23723 Air Freight Lane, Suite 

210, Dulles, VA 20166, Telephone: (703) 

661–1354. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for the Baltimore/Washington 

International Thurgood Marshall 

Airport are in compliance with 

applicable requirements of 14 CFR part 

150, effective January 13, 2004. Under 

49 U.S.C. 47503 of the Aviation Safety 

and Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘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 during a 

forecast period that is at least five (5) 

years in the future, 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 Federal Aviation 

Regulations (FAR) Part 150, 

promulgated pursuant to the Act, may 

submit a noise compatibility program 

for FAA approval which sets forth the 

mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 30, 2016 / Notices 59715 

measures the 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 the Mayland Aviation 

Administration. The documentation that 

constitutes the ‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ 

(NEM) as defined in Section 150.7 of 

part 150 includes: 2014 Base Year NEM 

Figure (20) and 2019 Future Year NEM 

Figure (21). The Noise Exposure Maps 

contain current and forecast 

information, including the depiction of 

the airport and its boundaries, the 

runway configurations, and land uses 

such as residential, open space, 

commercial/office, community facilities, 

libraries, churches, open space, 

infrastructure, vacant and warehouse 

and those areas within the Day Night 

Average Sound Level (DNL) 65, 70 and 

75 noise contours. Estimates for the area 

within these contours for the 2014 Base 

Year are shown in Table 3–1 and Table 

15; and in Chapter 5 of the NEM. 

Estimates of the future residential 

population within the 2019 Future Year 

noise contours are shown in Table 15 

and in Chapter 5 of the NEM. Figure 24 

displays the location of noise 

monitoring sites. Flight tracks for the 

existing and the five-year forecast Noise 

Exposure Maps are found in Chapter 4 

and Appendix F. The type and 

frequency of aircraft operations 

(including nighttime operations) are 

found in Appendix C. The FAA has 

determined that these noise exposure 

maps and accompanying documentation 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on August 17, 2016. 

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 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 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 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 FAR Part 150, 

that the statutorily required consultation 

has been accomplished. 

Copies of the full noise exposure map 

documentation and of the FAA’s 

evaluation of the maps are available for 

examination at the following locations:

Assumption of Authorities 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA); Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Fixing America’s Surface 

Transportation (FAST) Act builds on the 

authorities and requirements in the 

Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU) and the Moving 

Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century 

Act (MAP–21). The FAST Act also 

builds on efforts under FHWA’s Every 

Day Counts to accelerate delivery of 

surface transportation projects by 

institutionalizing best practices and 

expediting complex infrastructure 

projects. 

The Secretary, in cooperation with the 

States, must submit recommendations to 

the Committee on Transportation and 

Infrastructure of the House of 

Representatives and the Committee on 

Environment and Public Works of the 

Senate recommendations on legislation 

to permit the assumption of additional 

authorities by States. The FAST Act 

specifically asks for recommendations 

in the areas of real estate acquisition 

and project design. 

In order to implement section 1316 of 

the FAST Act, FHWA is soliciting 

feedback from States and other 

stakeholders on additional authorities to 

assume under title 23, including real 

estate acquisition and project design. 

The FHWA will collect suggestions 

during a 60-day period. At the end of 

that period, FHWA will assess 

suggestions prior to providing a Report 

to Congress.
