integration of UAS operations in the 

National Airspace System (NAS). 

Airlines for America commented that 

FAA must ensure adequate safety 

precautions to avoid collisions of UAS 

with manned aircraft and that the 

proposed collection will help identify 

compliant from noncompliant 

operations and further this safety model. 

The final comment was from the Air 

Line Pilots Association, International 

(ALPA), which commented that the 

collection of information to process 

authorization requests has not been 

subject to sufficient safety risk 

evaluation and therefore cannot be fully 

determined whether the information 

collected is adequate to verify if safe 

operations can be conducted. Further, 

ALPA commented that it believes the 

FAA’s current minimum requirements 

for information in a Low Altitude 

Authorization and Notification 

Capability (LAANC) application are not 

sufficient. According to ALPA, 

additional information including 

aircraft registration, make and model 

information, and post-flight information 

should be collected. In this Information 

Collection renewal request, the FAA 

proposes to use LAANC and the web 

portal to collect information that 

provides a means for small UAS 

operators operating under § 44809 to 

comply with § 44809’s established 

requirements and safety processes. This 

proposed information collection is 

sufficient to meet safety standards and 

captures essential information. 

ALPA also commented that the FAA 

has not determined through its Safety 

Management System process the risk 

that UAS operating in controlled 

airspace introduce to the NAS and, 

therefore, ALPA is unable to determine 

if the information collected is adequate. 

This second category of comments is 

substantially the same as comments that 

ALPA submitted in response to 

Information Collection 2120–0768’s 60 

Day Notice published on February 12, 

2018 (83 FR 6082) and to the Notice of 

Proposed Rule Making that was 

eventually implemented as a final rule 

at 81 FR 42063 on June 28, 2016 and 

codified as 14 CFR part 107. The FAA 

analyzed the proposed information to be 

collected under § 44809 and determined 

that the information is adequate for the 

FAA to meet safety standards. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for FAA’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to 

enhance the quality, utility and clarity 

of the information collection; and (d) 

ways that the burden could be 

minimized without reducing the quality 

of the collected information. The agency 

will summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0776. 

Title: Airspace Authorizations in 

Controlled Airspace under 49 U.S.C. 

44809(a)(5). 

Form Numbers: There are no forms 

associated with this collection. 

Type of Review: Renewal of existing 

Information Collection. 

Background: There has been an 

increased number of small UAS 

operating in the NAS in recent years, 

and regulations and statutes have been 

enacted to establish the use of small 

UAS in the NAS. Included in these is 49 

U.S.C. 44809(a)(5), which states that a 

strictly recreational user of small UAS 

must have authorization from the FAA 

to fly a small UAS ‘‘in Class B, Class C, 

or Class D airspace or within the lateral 

boundaries of the surface areas of Class 

E airspace designated for an airport.’’ In 

order to process airspace authorization 

requests, the FAA requires the 

operator’s name, the operator’s contact 

information, and information related to 

the date, place, and time of the 

requested authorization, which can be 

up to twelve hours in length. This 

information is necessary for the FAA to 

meet its statutory mandate of 

maintaining a safe and efficient national 

airspace. See 49 U.S.C. 40103, 44701, 

and 44807. The FAA will use the 

requested information to determine if 

the proposed authorization to operate 

can be conducted safely. 

The FAA proposes to use LAANC and 

an FAA web portal to process 

authorization requests from the public 

to conduct flight operations under 49 

U.S.C. 44809(a)(5). 

Respondents: Small UAS operators 

seeking to conduct flight operations 

under 49 U.S.C. 44809(a)(5) within 

controlled airspace. Between 2022– 

2025, the FAA estimates that it will 

receive a total of 757,380 requests for 

airspace authorization (735,416 through 

LAANC and 21,964 through the web 

portal). 

Frequency: The requested information 

is necessary each time a respondent 

requests an airspace authorization to 

operate a small UAS under 49 U.S.C. 

44809(a)(5) in controlled airspace. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: The FAA estimates the 

respondents using LAANC will take five 

(5) minutes per airspace authorization 

request and those using the web portal 

will take thirty (30) minutes per request. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: For 

airspace authorizations, the FAA 

estimates that the average annual 

burden will be 24,089 burden hours. 

This includes 20,428 burden hours for 

245,139 LAANC respondents and 3,661 

burden hours for 7,321 web portal 

respondents.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Acceptance of a Noise 

Exposure Map and Review of a Noise 

Compatibility Program 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

map submitted by the Port Authority of 

New York and New Jersey for LaGuardia 

Airport is in compliance with 

applicable statutory and regulatory 

requirements, see SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION for details. Further, in 

conjunction with the noise exposure 

map, FAA is reviewing the proposed 

noise compatibility program for 

LaGuardia Airport, which the FAA will 

approve or disapprove on or before 

January 2, 2023. This notice also 

announces the availability of this noise 

compatibility program for public review 

and comment. 

DATES: The effective date of the FAA’s 

determination on the noise exposure 

map is June 16, 2022 and of the start of 

its review of the associated noise 

compatibility program is July 6, 2022. 

The public comment period ends 

September 4, 2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Andrew Brooks, Regional 

Environmental Program Manager, 

Airports Division, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 1 Aviation Plaza, Room 

516, Jamaica, NY 11434. Phone Number: 

718–553–2511. 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 revised 2021 noise exposure 

map (NEM) submitted for LaGuardia 

Airport is in compliance with 

applicable requirements of Title 14, 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

150, (14 CFR part 150) effective June 16, 

2022. Further, FAA is reviewing a 

proposed noise compatibility program 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 131 / Monday, July 11, 2022 / Notices 41161 

(NCP) for LaGuardia Airport which will 

be approved or disapproved on or before 

January 2, 2023. This notice also 

announces the availability of this 

program for public review and 

comment. Per the Aviation Safety and 

Noise Abatement Act of 1979, 

hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’ (also 

see 49 U.S.C. 47503), an airport operator 

may submit to the FAA NEMs 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 NEMs that are found by FAA 

to be in compliance with the 

requirements of 14 CFR part 150, may 

submit a NCP for FAA approval which 

sets forth the measures the operator has 

taken or proposes to take to reduce 

existing non-compatible uses and 

prevent the introduction of additional 

non-compatible uses. 

The Port Authority of New York and 

New Jersey submitted to the FAA on 

June 15, 2022 a revised ‘‘With Program’’ 

2021 NEM, descriptions and other 

documentation that were produced 

during the development of the 

‘‘LaGuardia Airport Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150 

Noise Compatibility Program’’ (NCP 

Report), dated June 2022. The revised 

‘‘With Program’’ 2021 NEM was 

submitted to show changes made to the 

LaGuardia Airport 2021 NEM 

previously accepted by the Federal 

Aviation Administration on May 15, 

2017 (Noise Exposure Map Notice for 

LaGuardia Airport, New York City, New 

York, volume 82, Federal Register, 

pages 22714–5, May 15, 2017). The 

revisions to the previously approved 

2021 NEM depict changes to noise 

contours from implementation of noise 

abatement measures contained within 

the associated NCP. It was requested 

that the FAA review this material as the 

NEM, as described in 49 U.S.C. 47503 

of the Act, and that the noise mitigation 

measures, to be implemented jointly by 

the airport and surrounding 

communities, be approved as a NCP 

under 49 U.S.C. 47504. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the revised ‘‘With Program’’ 2021 NEM 

and related descriptions submitted by 

The Port Authority of New York and 

New Jersey. The documentation that 

constitutes the NEM as defined in 14 

CFR 150.7 is the revised ‘‘With 

Program’’ 2021 Future Year NEM, Map 

1 of 6, located in Appendix I–2 of the 

NCP Report. The NEMs contain current 

and forecast information including the 

depiction of the airport and its 

boundaries, the runway configurations, 

land uses such as single and two-family 

residential; multi-family residential; 

mixed residential and commercial; 

commercial and office; industrial and 

manufacturing; transportation, parking 

and utilities; unclassified; vacant land; 

open space, cemeteries, and outdoor 

recreation; places of worship; schools; 

historic structures; and day care/ 

assisted living facilities and those areas 

within the Day Night Average Sound 

Level (DNL) 65, 70 and 75 decibel noise 

contours. The revised ‘‘With Program’’ 

2021 NEM reflects the previous 

implementation of noise abatement 

measure 1 from the noise compatibility 

program. Accordingly, all estimates for 

the non-compatible land area and 

residential populations within these 

contours for the revised ‘‘With Program’’ 

2021 noise exposure map are shown in 

Table 3–2 in Chapter 3 of the NCP 

Report. The estimates of land use within 

these contours for the revised ‘‘With 

Program’’ 2021 noise exposure map are 

shown in Table 2–4 of Chapter 2 of the 

NCP Report. Flight tracks are found in 

Maps 2 of 6 through 6 of 6 in Appendix 

I–2. The type and frequency of aircraft 

operations (including nighttime 

operations) are found in Chapter 2, 

Tables 2–1, 2–2, and 2–3. 

The FAA has determined that these 

maps for LaGuardia Airport are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on June 16, 2022. FAA’s 

determination on an airport operator’s 

NEMs 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 applicant’s data, 

information or plans, or constitute a 

commitment to approve a NCP 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 NEM submitted under 49 

U.S.C. 47503, 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 NEMs to resolve 

questions concerning, for example, 

which properties should be covered by 

the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47506. 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 14 CFR part 

150 or through FAA’s review of NEMs. 

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 49 U.S.C. 47503. The 

FAA has relied on the certification by 

the airport operator, under 14 CFR 

150.21, that the statutorily required 

consultation has been accomplished. 

The FAA has formally received the 

NCP for LaGuardia Airport, also 

submitted on June 15, 2022. Preliminary 

review of the submitted material 

indicates that it conforms to the 

requirements for the submittal of NCPs, 

but that further review will be necessary 

prior to approval or disapproval of the 

program for LaGuardia Airport. The 

formal review period, limited by law to 

a maximum of 180 days, was initiated 

on July 6, 2022 and will be completed 

on or before January 2, 2023. 

The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be 

conducted under the provisions of 14 

CFR 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 NEMs 

for LaGuardia Airport, the FAA’s 

evaluation of the maps, and the 

proposed NCP for LaGuardia Airport are 

available for examination online at 

http://panynjpart150.com/LGA_

FNCP.asp. 

The Port Authority of New York and 

New Jersey has also made a hard copy 

of the document available for review at 

the LaGuardia Airport Community 

Information Center, 98–12 Astoria 

Boulevard, East Elmhurst, NY 11369. 

The document will be available for

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of a Renewed Approval of 

Information Collection: Part 142, 

Certificated Training Centers 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 

invites public comments about our 

intention to request the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval to renew an information 

collection. The collection involves 

Certificated Training Centers. Operators 

pay Certificated Training Centers to 

provide training to their employees, 

typically pilots, on different types of 

equipment if training is not done in 

house. The information to be collected 

is necessary because it allows aviation 

safety inspectors (operations) to review 

and to provide surveillance to training 

centers to ensure compliance with 

airman training, testing, and 

certification requirements specified in 

other parts of the regulations. If the 

information were not collected, 

inspectors would not be able to 

determine if airmen who are clients are 

being trained, checked or tested to meet 

the safety standards established in other 

parts of the regulations. To date, FAA 

inspectors have used the information 

collected to determine and assess 

regulatory compliance during routine 

program surveillance.
