Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 14 / Tuesday, January 22, 2008 / Notices 3795 

approval to implement specific noise 

compatibility measures may be 

required, and an FAA decision on the 

request may require an environmental 

assessment of the proposed action. 

Approval does not constitute a 

commitment by the FAA to financially 

assist in the implementation of the 

program nor a determination that all 

measures covered by the program are 

eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the 

FAA. Where federal funding is sought, 

requests for project grants must be 

submitted to the FAA Airports District 

Office in Dulles, Virginia. 

MWAA submitted to the FAA on 

August 2, 2007, the noise exposure 

maps, descriptions, and other 

documentation produced during the 

noise compatibility planning study 

conducted from July 2002 through 

August 2007. The Ronald Regan 

Washington National Airport noise 

exposure maps were determined by 

FAA to be in compliance with 

applicable requirements on August 6, 

2007. Notice of this determination was 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 13, 2007 (72 FR 45294). 

The Ronald Regan Washington 

National Airport study contains a 

proposed noise compatibility program 

comprised of actions designed for 

phased implementation by airport 

management and adjacent jurisdictions 

from August 2007 to (or beyond) the 

year 2009. It was requested that the FAA 

evaluate and approve this material as a 

noise compatibility program as 

described in section 47504 of the Act. 

The FAA began its review of the 

program on August 6, 2007 and was 

required by a provision of the Act to 

approve or disapprove the program 

within 180 days. Failure to approve or 

disapprove such program within the 

180-day period shall be deemed to be an 

approval of such program. 

The submitted program contained 

fourteen (14) proposed actions for noise 

mitigation on and off the airport. The 

FAA completed its review and 

determined that the procedural and 

substantive requirements of the Act and 

FAR part 150 have been satisfied. The 

overall program, therefore, was 

approved by the FAA effective January 

10, 2008. 

Outright approval was granted for 

four Noise Abatement Measures and all 

six Noise Mitigation Measures. Four 

Noise Abatement Measures were 

disapproved for purposes of part 150. 

The approved measures included such 

items as: Revising the language in the 

Airport Facility Directory to reflect the 

current novice abatement procedures at 

the Airport; Requesting a voluntary 

phase-out of hushkitted Stage 3 aircraft; 

Establishing a system to report airline 

compliance with noise abatement 

measures; Enhance the noise complaint 

system; Amend comprehensive plans 

and zoning maps to promote compatible 

land uses; Encourage Airport noise 

overlay zoning; Amend building codes 

to require soundproofing; Disclose noise 

levels prior to contract for sale or lease; 

Expand Airport Noise Information 

Program and Encourage local 

jurisdictions to adopt discretionary 

project review guidelines for 

Subdivision, Rezoning, Special Use, 

Conditional Use and Variance 

Applications. Four Noise Abatement 

Measures were disapproved for 

purposes of part 150. The Noise 

Exposure Maps and Noise Compatibility 

Study show no present or forecasted 

incompatible land uses within the DNL 

65 dB and the Noise Compatibility 

Study does not state that the airport 

sponsor has selected land use guidelines 

different from those in Table 1 of part 

150. Disapproval for purposes of part 

150 does not prohibit the airport 

sponsor from implementing those 

measures. The disapproved measures 

included such items as: Form a working 

group to develop advanced navigation 

procedures for arrivals and departures 

on all runways; Encourage air traffic 

control controllers to direct flights 

arriving on Runway 01 or departing on 

Runway 19 during nighttime hours (10 

p.m. to 7 a.m.) when traffic permits, to 

distribute the locations at which aircraft 

turn onto, or off of, the route along the 

center of the Potomac River over the 

areas between 5 and 10 miles south of 

the Airport; Encourage air traffic control 

controllers to direct flights arriving on 

Runway 01 or departing on Runway 19 

during daytime hours (7 a.m. to 10 p.m.) 

when traffic permits, to distribute the 

locations at which aircraft turn into, or 

off of, the route along the center of the 

Potomac River over the areas between 5 

and 10 miles south of the Airport and 

Update the Airport’s Noise Monitoring 

and Flight Tracking System. 

These determinations are set forth in 

detail in the Record of Approval signed 

by the Division Manager on January 10, 

2008. The Record of Approval, as well 

as other evaluation materials and the 

documents comprising the submittal, 

are available for review at the FAA 

office listed above and at the 

administrative offices of the MWAA. 

The Record of Approval also will be 

available on-line at: http://www.faa.gov/ 

airports_airtraffic/airports/ 

environmental/airport_noise/. 

Issued in Dulles, Virginia, on January 11, 

2008.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Maritime Administration 

[Docket No. MARAD–2008–0005] 

Requested Administrative Waiver of 

the Coastwise Trade Laws 

AGENCY: Maritime Administration, 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Invitation for public comments 

on a requested administrative waiver of 

the Coastwise Trade Laws for the vessel 

KANALOA. 

SUMMARY: As authorized by Public Law 

105–383 and Public Law 107–295, the 

Secretary of Transportation, as 

represented by the Maritime 

Administration (MARAD), is authorized 

to grant waivers of the U.S.-build 

requirement of the coastwise laws under 

certain circumstances. A request for 

such a waiver has been received by 

MARAD. The vessel, and a brief 

description of the proposed service, is 

listed below. The complete application 

is given in DOT docket MARAD–2008–

0005 at http://www.regulations.gov. 

Interested parties may comment on the 

effect this action may have on U.S. 

vessel builders or businesses in the U.S. 

that use U.S.-flag vessels. If MARAD 

determines, in accordance with Public 

Law 105–383 and MARAD’s regulations 

at 46 CFR part 388 (68 FR 23084; April 

30, 2003), that the issuance of the 

waiver will have an unduly adverse 

effect on a U.S.-vessel builder or a 

business that uses U.S.-flag vessels in 

that business, a waiver will not be 

granted. Comments should refer to the 

docket number of this notice and the 

vessel name in order for MARAD to 

properly consider the comments. 

Comments should also state the
