related technical data are licensed by 

the Directorate of Defense Trade 

Controls (DDTC) in accordance with the 

International Traffic in Arms 

Regulations (‘‘ITAR,’’ 22 CFR 120–130) 

and Section 38 of the Arms Export 

Control Act (AECA). Those who 

manufacture or export defense articles, 

defense services, and related technical 

data, or the brokering thereof, must 

register with the Department of State. 

Persons desiring to engage in export, 

temporary import, and brokering 

activities must submit an application or 

written request to conduct the 

transaction to the Department to obtain 

a decision whether it is in the interests 

of U.S. foreign policy and national 

security to approve the transaction.

annual reports regarding all brokering 

activity that was transacted, and 

registered manufacturers and exporters 

must maintain records of defense trade 

activities for five years. ITAR § 127.12 

encourages the disclosure of 

information to DDTC by persons who 

believe they may have violated any 

provision of the AECA, ITAR, or any 

order, license, or other authorization 

issued under the AECA. The violation is 

analyzed by DDTC to determine 

whether to take administrative action 

under ITAR part 128 and whether to 

refer the matter to the Department of 

Justice for possible prosecution.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice; Receipt of 

Noise Compatibility Program and 

Request for Review Seattle-Tacoma 

International Airport Seattle, 

Washington 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the Noise Exposure 

Maps submitted by the Port of Seattle 

for the Seattle-Tacoma 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. The FAA also

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Cayla Morgan, Federal Aviation 

Administration Seattle Airports District 

Office, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, 

Washington, 98057, (425) 227–2653. 

Comments on the proposed Noise 

Compatibility Program should also be 

submitted to the above office. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

Notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted 

for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements of part 150, effective 

December 13, 2013. Further, FAA is 

reviewing a proposed Noise 

Compatibility Program for that Airport 

which will be approved or disapproved 

on or before June 10, 2014. This notice 

also announces the availability of this 

Program for public review and 

comment. 

Under 49 U.S.C., Section 47503 (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 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 Noise Exposure Maps that are 

found by FAA to be in compliance with 

the requirements of part 150, 

promulgated pursuant to the Act, may 

submit a Noise Compatibility Program 

for FAA approval which sets forth the 

measures the operator has taken or 

proposes to take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The Port of Seattle submitted to the 

FAA on October 24, 2013 Noise 

Exposure Maps, descriptions and other 

documentation that were produced 

during the Seattle-Tacoma International 

Airport part 150 Noise Compatibility 

Study Update conducted between 

November 6, 2009 and October 24, 2013 

It was requested that the FAA review 

this material as the Noise Exposure 

Maps, as described in Section 47503 of 

the Act, and that the noise mitigation 

measures, to be implemented jointly by 

the airport and surrounding 

communities, be approved as a Noise 

Compatibility Program under Section 

47504 of the Act.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 246 / Monday, December 23, 2013 / Notices 77549 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the Noise Exposure Maps and related 

descriptions submitted by the Port of 

Seattle. The specific documentation 

determined to constitute the Noise 

Exposure Maps includes: Existing 

(2013) Noise Exposure Map (Exhibit 

NEM–1), (Exhibit 3–14) and the Future 

(2018) Noise Exposure Map (Exhibit 

NEM–2), (Exhibit 3–15) and Future 

(2018) Noise Exposure Map/Noise 

Compatibility Program (Exhibit 6–2). 

The FAA has determined that these 

maps for Seattle-Tacoma International 

Airport are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on December 

13, 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 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 part 150, that 

the statutorily required consultation has 

been accomplished. 

The FAA has formally received the 

Noise Compatibility Program for SeattleTacoma International Airport, also 

effective on December 13, 2013. 

Preliminary review of the submitted 

material indicates that it conforms to the 

requirements for the submittal of Noise 

Compatibility Programs, but that further 

review will be necessary prior to 

approval or disapproval of the program. 

The formal review period, limited by 

law to a maximum of 180 days, will be 

completed on or before June 10, 2014. 

The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be 

conducted under the provisions of part 

150, Section 150.33. The primary 

considerations in the evaluation process 

are whether the proposed measures may 

reduce the level of aviation safety, 

create an undue burden on interstate or 

foreign commerce, or be reasonably 

consistent with obtaining the goal of 

reducing existing non-compatible land 

uses and preventing the introduction of 

additional non-compatible land uses. 

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on the proposed program with 

specific reference to these factors. All 

comments, other than those properly 

addressed to local land use authorities, 

will be considered by the FAA to the 

extent practicable. Copies of the Noise 

Exposure Maps and the proposed Noise 

Compatibility Program are available for 

examination at the following locations:

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Revise Notice of Intent for an 

Environmental Impact Statement: State 

Route (SR) 95 Realignment Study: 

Interstate 40 to SR 68, Mohave County, 

Arizona 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), United States 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Revised Notice of Intent (NOI). 

SUMMARY: FHWA is issuing this Revised 

NOI to advise the public of a change to 

the environmental review process for 

the proposed realignment of State Route 

(SR) 95 in Mohave County, Arizona. 

FHWA and the project sponsor, the 

Arizona Department of Transportation 

(ADOT), intend to use a tiered process 

to facilitate project decision-making. 

This notice revises the NOI that was 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 1, 2007. 

The proposed tiering approach will 

allow FHWA and ADOT to identify 

potential corridors and to broadly 

evaluate a range of potential 

environmental impacts and mitigation 

approaches in Tier 1. The Tier 1 

analysis will utilize as appropriate 

technical data obtained thus far in the 

environmental review process. 

Subsequently, in Tier 2, the agencies 

will evaluate project-level, site-specific 

impacts, and required mitigation and 

commitments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 1, 

2007, FHWA and ADOT, in cooperation 

with Mohave County and the City of 

Bullhead City, issued an NOI to prepare 

an EIS for the proposed realignment of 

SR 95 in Mohave County, Arizona 

(Federal Register Vol. 72, No. 105). The 

study area begins approximately 2 miles 

south of Interstate 40 near Topock, 

Arizona and extends north to SR 68 near 

Bullhead City, Arizona. Information and 

documents regarding the environmental 

review process will be made available 

for the duration of the Tier 1 EIS process 

on the following Web site: https:// 

www.azdot.gov/projects/far-west/sr-95- 

realignment-study-i-40-to-sr-68. 

Public Involvement: Public outreach 

will continue throughout this Tier 1 EIS 

process. At least one public hearing will 

be held during the study, and the Draft 

EIS will be available for public and 

agency review and comment prior to the 

public hearing. 

Purpose and Need: The Tier 1 EIS 

will evaluate alternatives that address 

the following needs of the SR 95 

corridor: (1) Increasing traffic volumes 

will lead to capacity deficiencies on SR 

95 within the study area; (2) the 

operation of SR 95 will fail by the 

design year 2040 through much of the 

study area; (3) much of the length of the 

roadway will continue to be used for 

regional and local traffic, which is not 

consistent with its intended function; 

and (4) critically high accident rates will 

continue into the foreseeable future 

unless measures are undertaken to 

address at least some of the factors 

causing the accidents. Therefore, the
