Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 162 / Tuesday, August 23, 2005 / Notices 49361 

proposes to take, to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The director of the Boise Air 

Terminal/Gowen Field submitted to the 

FAA on September 9, 2004, NEM’s, 

descriptions and other documentation 

that were produced during the Boise Air 

Terminal/Gowen Field FAR Part 150 

Study dated July 2004. It was requested 

that the FAA review this material as the 

NEM’s, 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. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the NEM’s and related descriptions 

submitted by the director of the Boise 

Air Terminal/Gowen Field. The specific 

documentation determined to constitute 

the NEM’s includes the following from 

the Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field 

FAR Part 150 Study of July 2004: 

• Figure 5–1, Existing Noise Exposure 

Map, 2004 

• Figure 5–2, Future Noise Exposure 

Map, 2009 

• Tables(s) 2.17 and 2.18, Summary 

of Annual Activity for 2003 and 2008 

• Table 5.1 at page 5.2, Existing and 

Future Noise Exposure Map with 

Existing and Future Land Use, presents 

estimates of the number of persons 

residing within the day/night noise 

level 60 through 75 noise contours 

• Figures 3–1 and 3–2 present Flight 

Tracks 

• Pages 9–1 through 9–3 present the 

Record of Consultation during the study 

• Appendix F presents Revised 

Consultation 

The FAA has determined that these 

maps for the Boise Air Terminal/Gowen 

Field are in compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on August 12, 2005. The FAA’s 

determination on an airport operator’s 

NEM’s 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 constitute a 

commitment to approve a noise 

compatibility program or funds the 

implementation of that program. 

If questions arise concerning the 

precise relationship of specific 

properties to noise exposure contours 

depicted on a NEM’s 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 

interpreting the NEM’s 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 the FAA’s review of 

NEM’s. 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 

who 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. The FAA has 

formally received the noise 

compatibility program for Boise Air 

Terminal/Gowen Field, also effective on 

August 12, 2005. 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 February 13, 

2006. 

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, 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. The 

FAA will consider all comments, other 

than those properly addressed to local 

land use authorities, 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:

Comments Invited 

Disposition of Comments 

A notice of proposed policy was 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 3, 2004 (69 FR 70303). Two 

(2) commenters responded to the 

request for comments. 

Background 

Based on data industry has presented 

to the FAA, in-seat video system designs 

have matured to the point that 

dedicated testing is not required per 14 

CFR 25.601. This policy recommends 

the use of Aerospace Recommended 

Practice (ARP) 5475 when abuse load 

tests are required. This policy adds 

analysis or inspection as valid means of 

compliance, in lieu of test. The FAA 

49362 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 162 / Tuesday, August 23, 2005 / Notices 

also clarifies questions that have arisen 

regarding previously released policy on 

this subject. 

The final policy as well as the 

disposition of public comments 

received are available on the Internet at 

the following address: http:// 

airweb.faa.gov.rgl. If you do not have 

access to the Internet, you can obtain a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

8, 2005, NHTSA published a final rule 

establishing Federal Motor Vehicle 

Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 138, Tire 

Pressure Monitoring Systems (70 FR 

18136). This final rule requires new 

passenger cars, multi-purpose passenger 

vehicles, trucks, and buses with a gross 

vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg (10,000 

pounds) or less, except those with dual 

wheels on an axle, to be equipped with 

a TPMS to alert the driver when one or 

more of the vehicle’s tires, up to a total 

of all four tires, is significantly underinflated. Specifically, the TPMS must be 

capable of detecting when the pressure 

in one or more of the vehicle’s tires is 

25 percent or more below the vehicle 

manufacturer’s recommended cold 

inflation pressure or a minimum 

activation pressure specified in the 

standard, whichever is higher. As 

reflected in the final rule, FMVSS No. 

138 is a performance standard. Petitions 

for reconsideration of the final rule have 

been received and may be viewed on 

DOT Web site http://dms.dot.gov, 

(reference docket number NHTSA–

2005–20586). The scope of this 

workshop is strictly limited to issues 

surrounding implementation of OVSC 

Laboratory Test Procedure TP–138, 

including subsequent amendments, if 

any, resulting from the agency’s 

response to petitions for 

reconsideration. TP–138 is posted on 

the NHTSA Web site at http:// 

www.nhtsa.dot.gov (under ‘‘Test 

Procedures’’ on the Vehicles and 

Equipment page). 

To enable interested parties and 

NHTSA personnel to discuss the 

questions concerning TP–138, NHTSA 

believes that it would be desirable to 

hold a technical workshop and 

demonstration on the test procedure. As 

noted above, persons wishing to 

participate in the workshop are 

requested to notify Lori Hamn by 

facsimile, mail or electronic mail no 

later than August 31, 2005. Prospective 

attendees should indicate their name, 

title, and organizational affiliation. Once 

the agency compiles a list of all 

prospective attendees, NHTSA will 

determine whether the number of 

participants per organization must be 

limited due to space constraints. 

In order to facilitate discussions, the 

agency requests that interested parties 

submit written suggestions regarding 

topics pertaining to TP–138 for 

inclusion in the agenda for this 

workshop. Copies of all written 

submissions and the final agenda will 

be placed in the docket for this notice. 

The agency will include as many of the 

suggested topics in the final agenda as 

appropriate. The following is a 

preliminary agenda for the workshop. 

Agenda 

The workshop will begin at 8:30 a.m. 

on September 21, 2005 and conclude by 

5 p.m. The agency has not decided if
