damage from an oil or hazardous

material spill and control location and

procedures for Lightering activities.

The Port and Tanker Act of 1978,

requires the Coast Guard to develop

regulations for the Lightering of oil and

hazardous materials which take place in

the navigable waters of the U.S. or high

seas if the cargo is designed for a port

or place subject to the jurisdiction of the

U.S.

This information will be used to

inform the local Coast Guard Captain of

the Port of the time and place of cargo

transfer.

Also, to ensure the vessels involved

are in compliance with Coast Guard

inspection requirements, possess a valid

Certificate of Responsibility and have

approved pollution response plans on

file.

Burden Estimate and Frequency: The

current total annual respondent burden

estimate is 315 hours. The average

burden hour per response is 2 hours

reporting. The frequency of reporting

will be occasionally.

Title: (a) Report of MARPOL 73/78

Oil, Noxious Liquid Substance (NLS)

and Garbage Discharge; (b) Application

for Equivalents, Exemptions, and

Alternatives; and (c) Voluntary Reports

of Pollution Sightings [ICR No. 2115–

0556].

OMB No.: 2115–0556.

Affected Entities: Individuals business

or other for-profit organizations and the

Federal Government.

Abstract: Discharge of pollutants in

excess of what is permitted under

MARPOL 73/78 and pollution sightings

must be reported to the Coast Guard so

that appropriate response to the

threatening pollutions incidents and

effective enforcement of MARPOL 73/78

and its implementing law and

regulations will be possible. Public

should be allowed to apply, in writing

for equivalents, exemptions and

alternatives.

The Act to prevent Pollution from

Ships (33 U.S.C. 1901–1911) requires

that the master or other person in charge

of a ship to report discharges of

pollutants that violate MARPOL 73/78.

Coast Guard will use this information

to determine what corrective action is

required to prevent, minimize, or

mitigate the impact of oil or hazardous

chemical pollution on the public health

or welfare, or the environment.

Burden Estimate and Frequency: The

current total annual respondent burden

estimate is 15 hours. The average

burden hour per response is 30 minutes

reporting. The frequency of reporting

and recordkeeping will be occasionally.

Title: Various Forms and Posting

Requirements Under 46 CFR

Subchapters K and T ‘‘Small Passenger

Vessel (Under 100 Gross Tons)’’ [ICR

No. 2115–0578].

OMB No.: 2115–0578.

Affected Entities: Small passenger

vessel owners.

Abstract: The reporting and

recordkeeping requirements are

necessary for the proper administration

and enforcement of small passenger

vessel program. The requirements effect

small passenger vessels (under 100 gross

tons) which carry more than 6

passengers.

Under 46 U.S.C. 3305 and 3306, the

Coast Guard must prescribe regulations

for the design, construction, alteration,

repair and operation of small passenger

vessels to secure the safety of

individuals and property on board. The

Coast Guard’s proposed use of this

information is to ensure that compliance

with the requirements for proper safety

equipment, operation and crew

emergency preparedness are met.

Burden Estimate and Frequency: The

current total annual respondent burden

estimate is 405,608 hours. The average

burden hour per response is 1 hour

reporting and 4 hours recordkeeping.

The frequency of recordkeeping will be

occasionally.

Federal Aviation Administration

Noise Exposure Map Notice; SarasotaBradenton International Airport,

Sarasota, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) announces its

determination that the noise exposure

maps submitted by Sarasota Manatee

Airport Authority for SarasotaBradenton International Airport under

the provisions of Title 1 of the Aviation

Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979

(Public Law 96–193) and 14 CFR Part

150 are in compliance with applicable

requirements.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the

FAA’s determination on the noise

exposure maps is May 7, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Tommy J. Pickering, P.E., Federal

Aviation Administration, Orlando

Airports District Office, 9677 Tradeport

Drive, Suite 130, Orlando, Florida

32827–5397, (407) 648–6583, Extension

29.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice announces that the FAA finds

that the noise exposure maps submitted

for Sarasota-Bradenton International

Airport are in compliance with

applicable requirements of Part 150,

effective May 7, 1996.

Under Section 103 of the Aviation

Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979

(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’), an

airport operator may submit to the FAA

noise exposure maps which meet

applicable regulations and which depict

noncompatible land uses as of the date

of submission of such maps, a

description of projected aircraft

operations, and the ways in which such

operations will affect such maps. The

Act requires such maps to be developed

in consultation with interested and

affected parties in the local community,

government agencies, and persons using

the airport.

An airport operator who has

submitted noise exposure maps that are

found by FAA to be in compliance with

the requirements of Federal Aviation

Regulations (FAR) Part 150,

promulgated pursuant to Title 1 of the

Act, may submit a noise compatibility

program for FAA approval which sets

forth the measures the operator has

taken or proposes for the reduction of

existing noncompatible uses and for the

prevention of the introduction of

additional noncompatible uses.

The FAA has completed its review of

the noise exposure maps and related

descriptions submitted by Sarasota

Manatee Airport Authority. The specific

maps under consideration are

‘‘EXISTING (1995) NOISE EXPOSURE

MAP’’ and ‘‘FUTURE (2000) NOISE

EXPOSURE MAP’’ in the submission.

The FAA has determined that these

maps for Sarasota-Bradenton

International Airport are in compliance

with applicable requirements. This

determination is effective on May 7,

1996. FAA’s determination on an airport

operator’s noise exposure maps 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 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 to noise exposure contours

depicted on a noise exposure map

submitted under Section 103 of the Act,
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 98 / Monday, May 20, 1996 / Notices 25265

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 107 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 FAA’s review of noise

exposure maps. 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 which submitted those

maps, or with those public agencies and

planning agencies with which

consultation is required under Section

103 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.

Copies of the noise exposure maps

and of the FAA’s evaluation of the maps

are available for examination at the

following locations:
