Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 111 / Friday, June 11, 2021 / Notices 31369 

promulgated pursuant to section 47502 

of the Act, and developed in 

consultation with public agencies and 

planning authorities in the area 

surrounding the airport, state and 

Federal agencies, interested and affected 

parties in the local community, and 

aeronautical users of the airport. In 

addition, an airport operator that 

submitted a noise exposure map, which 

the FAA determined is compliant with 

statutory and regulatory requirements, 

may submit a noise compatibility 

program for FAA approval that sets 

forth measures the operator has taken or 

proposes to take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The FAA completed its review of the 

noise exposure map and supporting 

documentation submitted by the City of 

San Antonio Aviation Department and 

determined the noise exposure map and 

accompanying documentation are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. The documentation that 

constitutes the Noise Exposure Map 

includes: Table 4–1 Annual Aircraft 

Operations by Aircraft Category; Figure 

2–3 Airport Diagram; Table 4–5 Aircraft 

Arrival; Table 4–6 Departure Runway 

Use; Figure 4–6 Modeled Fixed-Wing 

Flight Tracks—Runways 31L and 31R; 

Figure 4–7 Modeled Fixed-Wing Flight 

Tracks—Runways 13L and 13R; Figure 

4–8 Modeled Fixed-Wing Flight 

Tracks—Runway 4; Figure 4–9 Modeled 

Fixed-Wing Flight Tracks—Runway 22; 

Figure 4–3 Nighttime Runway 

Utilization—2021 Existing Conditions; 

and Figure 4–5 Nighttime Runway 

Utilization—2026 Future Conditions. 

This determination is effective on June 

1, 2021. 

FAA’s determination on an airport’s 

noise exposure map is limited to a 

finding that the noise exposure map was 

developed in accordance with the Act 

and procedures contained in 14 CFR 

part 150, Appendix A. FAA’s 

acceptance of an NEM does not does not 

constitute approval of the applicant’s 

data, information or plans, or a 

commitment to approve a noise 

compatibility program or to fund the 

implementation of that program. If 

questions arise concerning the precise 

relationship of specific properties 

within noise exposure contours 

depicted on a noise exposure map, 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 noise 

exposure maps 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 14 

CFR part 150 or through FAA review 

and acceptance of a noise exposure 

map. 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 a noise exposure map or 

with those public and planning agencies 

with which consultation is required 

under section 47503 of the Act. The 

FAA relied on the certification by the 

airport operator, under of 14 CFR 150.21 

that the required consultations and 

opportunity for public review has been 

accomplished during the development 

of the noise exposure maps. 

Copies of the noise exposure map and 

supporting documentation and the 

FAA’s evaluation of the noise exposure 

maps are available for examination at 

the following locations: Federal 

Aviation Administration, Airports 

Division, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort 

Worth, Texas 76177, and San Antonio 

International Airport, 9800 Airport 

Boulevard, San Antonio, Texas 78216.

Act, Public Law 117–2 (Mar. 11, 2021) 

(ARPA) to primary airports to provide 

relief from rent and minimum annual 

guarantee (MAG) obligations to eligible 

airport concessions. This information 

collection permits FAA to confirm that 

rent relief is consistent with the 

requirements of CRRSA and ARPA. If 

FAA does not receive emergency 

approval, the economic recovery of the 

nation’s air transport system may be 

delayed because of the inability to of 

airports to maintain continuity of 

operations and assure the sustainability 

of vital concession partners. 

CRRSA directed FAA to provide $200 

million in grants to primary airports for 

the purpose of providing relief from rent 

and MAG obligations to eligible airport 

concessions. In addition, ARPA directed 

FAA to provide $800 million in grants 

to primary airports for the purpose of 

providing relief from rent and MAG 

obligations to eligible airport 

concessions. FAA developed a 

streamlined information collection to 

confirm that airport sponsors and 

concessions receiving rent relief met 

CRRSA and ARPA eligibility and other 

legal requirements. Specifically, airport 

sponsors must provide relief on a 

proportional basis and after December 

27, 2020, and March 11, 2021, 

respectively, as well as conduct 

prioritized consultation with Airport 

Concession Disadvantaged Business 

Enterprises (ACDBEs). 

The information will be collected 

from airport sponsors (public agencies) 

who request payment under a 

concessions relief grant. FAA’s Office of 

Airports (ARP) will use the information 

to determine whether airport sponsors 

and airport concessions benefitting from 

rent relief meet the eligibility and other 

requirements under CRRSA and ARPA 

prior to processing a payment of Federal 

funds. 

Comments received will not be 

considered before approval of this 

emergency collection but will be 

considered in the renewal process. 

Respondents: FAA estimates 

approximately 404 respondents. 

Frequency: Information will be 

collected one time for each grant 

program. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 6 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

Approximately 4,848 hours annually.

Title 49 United States Code (U.S.C.) 

Section 20157(h) requires FRA to certify 

that a host railroad’s PTC system 

complies with 49 CFR part 236, subpart 

I, before the technology may be operated 

in revenue service. Before making 

certain changes to an FRA-certified PTC 

system or the associated FRA-approved 

PTCSP, a host railroad must submit, and 

obtain FRA’s approval of, an RFA to its 

PTCSP under Title 49 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) Section 236.1021. 

Under 49 CFR 236.1021(e), FRA’s 

regulations provide that FRA will 

publish a notice in the Federal Register 

and invite public comment in 

accordance with 49 CFR part 211, if an 

RFA includes a request for approval of 

a material modification of a signal and 

train control system. Accordingly, this 

notice informs the public that host 

railroads’ recent RFAs to their PTCSPs 

are available in their respective public 

PTC dockets, and this notice provides 

an opportunity for public comment on 

these RFAs. 

On May 26, 2021, the following three 

host railroads jointly submitted an RFA 

to their respective PTCSPs for their 

Interoperable Electronic Train 

Management Systems (I-ETMS): Central 

Florida Rail Corridor (CFRC), North 

County Transit District (SDNX), and 

Trinity Railway Express (TRE). Their 

joint RFA is available in Docket 

Numbers FRA–2010–0044, FRA–2010–
