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:

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).
