performed covered functions, at any 

time and duration, on the operator’s 

jurisdictional pipeline facilities. With 

this operator-contractor association rule 

lodged in the programming, DAMIS 

designates contractor login information 

that is solely and directly associated 

with the operator who has listed them 

as a ‘‘covered function performing’’ 

contractor. DAMIS also captures one 

contractor employer entry as a ‘‘data of 

record’’ for accounting purposes and 

avoiding duplication of data. 

Eliminating these processes has the 

possible unintended consequence of 

degrading data security or forcing the 

agency to create a login process that is 

complicated, requiring additional 

processes such as contractor 

registration, to assure data integrity. 

The suggestion for developing a 

process for downloading a DAMIS file 

onto a transportation employer’s 

computer server and then uploading it 

back to DAMIS while laudable is replete 

with potential IT security challenges. 

Among them are: Providing prescriptive 

stakeholder data entry procedures 

(especially those with limited computer 

skills); programing challenges 

associated with each DOT Agency; and 

agency budgetary considerations for 

developing such programming. 

With respect to item 3, we mentioned 

earlier DAMIS is an on-line portal to the 

electronic MIS form. Because of the 

nature of the each transportation 

industry, each DOT Agency may require 

different log-in and setup procedures to 

ensure the accountability by those 

entities required to submit MIS 

information. These administrative 

procedures are external to the actual 

completion of the MIS form and are 

independent of the estimated time to 

actually enter the MIS data once in 

DAMIS. 

In the DOT Agency example, PHMSA 

is being cited as duplicating the 

reporting requirements for contractor 

employers. Each contractor login 

designation is uniquely associated with 

the operator employer who has 

identified them in the DAMIS electronic 

reporting system. This reporting 

association is consistent with PHMSA 

regulatory mandate regarding operator 

monitoring and reporting requirements 

under Title 49 CFR part 199, 199.115 

and 245, which address contractor 

covered employees. 

With respect to item 4, while we 

recognized the value of MIS provider 

service performed by C/TPAs, 

accommodating them for business 

process efficiency, with a single login, 

presents significant potential risk to 

maintaining data integrity and security. 

Moreover, current regulations assign 

accountability and responsibility on the 

employer for MIS reporting. 

With regard to entering multiple 

contractor MIS data under the PHMSA 

regulation, operator employers, or their 

designated C/TPAs, always had the 

option of issuing the DAMIS unique 

user name and password to these 

contractors, and then allowing them to 

enter their data directly into DAMIS. 

This option is utilized effectively with 

DOT/FTA grantees/grantors, which 

allows for shared responsibility for this 

MIS information. In similar fashion, the 

pipeline safety operator employer, or 

their designated C/TPA, can monitor 

contractor employers’ submissions for 

data review and approval. Utilizing this 

process could alleviate the number of 

contractor MIS data has to be physically 

entered by operator employers or their 

C/TPA.

Federal Aviation Administration 

Receipt of Noise Compatibility 

Program and Request for Review; 

Southwest Florida International 

Airport, Ft. Myers, Florida 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces that it 

is reviewing a proposed Noise 

Compatibility Program that was 

submitted for Southwest Florida 

International Airport under the 

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47504 et seq (the 

Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

Act hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) 

and 14 CFR part 150 by the Lee County 

Port Authority. This program was 

submitted subsequent to a 

determination by FAA that the 

associated Noise Exposure Maps 

submitted under 14 CFR part 150 for the 

Southwest Florida International Airport 

were in compliance with applicable 

requirements effective February 8, 2013, 

and was published in the Federal 

Register on February 8, 2013. The 

proposed Noise Compatibility Program 

will be approved or disapproved on or 

before April 19, 2014. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date

associated noise compatibility program 

is October 21, 2013. The public 

comment period ends December 20, 

2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Allan Nagy, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Orlando Airports 

District Office, 5950 Hazeltine National 

Drive, Orlando, FL 32822, (407) 812– 

6331. Comments on the proposed noise 

compatibility program should also be 

submitted to the above office. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA is 

reviewing a proposed Noise 

Compatibility Program for Southwest 

Florida International Airport which will 

be approved or disapproved on or before 

April 19, 2014. This notice also 

announces the availability of this 

program for public review and 

comment. 

An airport operator who has 

submitted Noise Exposure Maps that are 

found by FAA to be in compliance with 

the requirements of Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150, may 

submit a Noise Compatibility Program 

for FAA approval which sets forth the 

measures the operator has taken or 

proposes to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The FAA has formally received the 

Noise Compatibility Program for 

Southwest Florida International Airport, 

effective on October 21, 2013. The 

airport operator has requested that the 

FAA review this material 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. Preliminary 

review of the submitted material 

indicates that it conforms to the 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 208 / Monday, October 28, 2013 / Notices 64265 

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 April 19, 2014. 

The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be 

conducted under the provisions of 14 

CFR Part 150, Section 150.33. The 

primary considerations in the 

evaluation process are whether the 

proposed measures may reduce the level 

of aviation safety or create an undue 

burden on interstate or foreign 

commerce, and whether they are 

reasonably consistent with obtaining the 

goal of reducing existing noncompatible land uses and preventing the 

introduction of additional noncompatible land uses. 

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on the proposed program with 

specific reference to these factors. All 

comments relating to these factors, 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, the 

FAA’s evaluation of the maps, and the 

proposed Noise Compatibility Program 

are available for examination at the 

following locations: Federal Aviation 

Administration, Orlando Airports 

District Office, 5950 Hazeltine National 

Drive, Orlando, FL 32822.

Notice To Rescind a Notice of Intent To 

Prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS): State Route 71, South 

Knoxville Boulevard (James White 

Parkway), From Governor John Sevier 

Highway (State Route 168) to Moody 

Avenue, Knox County, Tennessee 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice to Rescind a Notice of 

Intent to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS). 

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that the 

Notice of Intent published on May 1, 

2007 to prepare an EIS for the proposed 

State Route 71, South Knoxville 

Boulevard (James White Parkway), from 

Governor John Sevier Highway (State 

Route 168) to Moody Avenue, Knox 

County, Tennessee, is being rescinded. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Theresa Claxton, Planning and Program 

Management Team Leader, Federal 

Highway Administration—Tennessee 

Division Office, 404 BNA Drive, Suite 

508, Nashville, TN 37217. 615–781– 

5770. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the 

Tennessee Department of 

Transportation, is rescinding the notice 

of intent to prepare an EIS for the 

proposed State Route 71, South 

Knoxville Boulevard (James White 

Parkway) from near the existing 

Chapman Highway/Governor John 

Sevier Highway interchange to Moody 

Avenue. The proposed project was 

approximately 5 miles in length. 

The FHWA approved the Draft EIS 

(DEIS) on September 28, 2012. The 

project as described in the DEIS was to 

provide an efficient and safe 

transportation facility that would 

enhance transportation service by 

improving access in the South Knoxville 

area and help relieve traffic congestion 

on Chapman Highway. During the DEIS 

process, TDOT conducted public 

involvement and agency coordination, 

developed a purpose and need for the 

project, and developed preliminary 

alternatives. The preliminary 

alternatives included a No-Build 

alternative, and three build alternatives 

on new location east of the Chapman 

Highway/Governor John Sevier 

Highway interchange and extending 

north westward to the existing State 

Route 71, South Knoxville Boulevard 

(James White Parkway) terminus at 

Moody Avenue. 

After consideration of public 

comments, the Knoxville Regional 

Transportation Planning Organization 

(TPO) removed the project from their 

draft Fiscal Year (FY) 2014–2017 

Transportation Improvement Program 

(TIP) in August of 2013. Subsequently, 

the FY 2014–2017 Knoxville TIP was 

adopted by the TPO Executive Board on 

October 16, 2013, and did not include 

the State Route 71 project. Based on the 

Knoxville Regional TPO’s intent to not 

advance the State Route 71 project, 

TDOT is terminating future 

development of the EIS. 

Comments and questions concerning 

the proposed action should be directed 

to FHWA at the address provided above.
