Federal Aviation Administration 

Receipt of Noise Compatibility 

Program and Request for Review; Vero 

Beach Municipal Airport, Vero Beach, 

FL 

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 Vero Beach Municipal 

Airport under provisions of 49 U.S.C. 

47501 et. seq (the Aviation Safety and 

Noise Abatement Act hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 CFR 

part 150 by the city of Vero Beach, 

Florida. This program was submitted 

subsequent to a determination by AA 

that the associated noise exposure maps 

submitted under 14 CFR part 150 for 

Vero Beach Airport were in compliance 

with applicable requirements effective 

October 28, 2003. The proposed noise 

compatibility program will be approved 

or disapproved on or before May 1, 

2006. 

DATES: The effective date of the start of 

FAA’s review of the associated noise 

compatibility program is November 2, 

2005. The public comment period ends 

January 2, 2006. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Bonnie Baskin, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Orlando Airports 

District Office, 5950 Hazeltine National 

Dr., Suite 400, Orlando, Florida 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 Vero Beach 

Municipal Airport which will be 

approved or disapproved on or before 

May 1, 2006. 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 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 217 / Thursday, November 10, 2005 / Notices 68507 

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 

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 Vero 

Beach Municipal Airport, effective on 

November 2, 2005. 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 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 May 1, 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 or create an undue 

burden on interstate of 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:

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

Federal Aviation Administration 

Random Drug and Alcohol Testing 

Percentage Rates of Covered Aviation 

Employees for the Period of January 1, 

2006, Through December 31, 2006 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The FAA has determined that 

the minimum random drug and alcohol 

testing percentage rates for the period 

January 1, 2006, through December 31, 

2006, will remain at 25 percent of 

covered aviation employees for random 

drug testing and 10 percent of covered 

aviation employees for random alcohol 

testing. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. 

Mark Crispi, Office of Aerospace 

Medicine, Drug Abatement Division, 

Program Analysis Branch (AAM–810), 

Federal Aviation Administration, 800 

Independence Avenue, SW., 

Washington, DC 20591; telephone (202) 

267–8442. 

Discussion: Pursuant to 14 CFR part 

121, appendix I, section V.C, the FAA 

Administrator’s decision on whether to 

change the minimum annual random 

drug testing rate is based on the 

reported random drug test positive rate 

for the entire aviation industry. If the 

reported random drug test positive rate 

is less than 1.00%, the Administrator 

may continue the minimum random 

drug testing rate at 25%. In 2004, the 

random drug test positive rate was 

0.54%. Therefore, the minimum random 

drug testing rate will remain at 25% for 

calendar year 2006. 

Similarly, 14 CFR part 121, appendix 

J, section III.C, requires the decision on 

the minimum annual random alcohol 

testing rate to be based on the random 

alcohol test violation rate. If the 

violation rate remains less than 0.50%, 

the Administrator may continue the 

minimum random alcohol testing rate at 

10%. In 2004, the random alcohol test 

violation rate was 0.09%. Therefore, the 

minimum random alcohol testing rate 

will remain at 10% for calendar year 

2006. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If you 

have questions about how the annual 

random testing percentage rates are 

determined please refer to the Code of 

Federal Regulations Title 14: part 121, 

appendix I, section V.C (for drug 

testing), and appendix J, section III.C 

(for alcohol testing).
