BILLING CODE 4910–7E–P

Federal Aviation Administration

Receipt of Noise Compatibility

Program and Request for Review;

James M. Cox-Dayton International

Airport, Dayton, OH

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 James M. Cox-Dayton

International Airport under the

provisions of Title I of the Aviation

Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979

(Pub. L. 96–193) (hereinafter referred to

as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 CFR Part 150 by

the city of Dayton, Ohio. This program

was submitted subsequent to a

determination by the FAA that

associated noise exposure maps

submitted under 14 CFR Part 150 for

James M. Cox-Dayton International

Airport were in compliance with

applicable requirements effective June

6, 1994. The proposed noise

compatibility program will be approved

or disapproved on or before October 30,

1996.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the

start of the FAA’s review of the noise

compatibility program is May 3, 1996.

The public comment periods ends July

2, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Lawrence C. King, Airports Engineer,

Federal Aviation Administration,

Detroit Airports District Office, Willow

Run Airport, East, 8820 Beck Road,

Belleville, Michigan 48111. 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 James M. CoxDayton International Airport which will

be approved or disapproved on or before

October 30, 1996. 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 the FAA to be in compliance

with the requirements of Federal

Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150,

promulgated pursuant to Title I 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 formally recieved the

noise compatibility program for James

M. Cox-Dayton International Airport,

effective on May 3, 1996. It was

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

104(b) 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 October 30,

1996.

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, create an undue

burden on interstate or foreign

commerce, or be 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, other than those properly

addressed to local and 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, Detroit

Airports District Office, Willow Run

Airport, East, 8820 Beck Road, Belleville,

individual named above under the

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

BILLING CODE 4910–13–M

Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Exemption or Waiver of

Compliance

In accordance with 49 CFR Sections

211.9 and 211.41, notice is hereby given

that the Federal Railroad

Administration (FRA) has received from

the Northeast Illinois Railroad

Corporation (Metra) a request for an

extension of the time period necessary

to comply with a previously granted

temporary waiver of compliance with

certain requirements of the Federal

safety laws and regulations. The petition

is described below, including the

regulatory provisions involved, the

nature of the relief being requested, and

the petitioner’s arguments in favor of

the relief.

Northeast Illinois Railroad Corporation

(Metra); Waiver Petition Docket

Number LI–93–13

The Locomotive Safety Standards (49

CFR Part 229) were revised on July 8,

1993, to require each lead locomotive of

trains operating over 30 miles per hour

to be equipped with an event recorder

by May 5, 1995. On September 3, 1993,

Metra petitioned FRA for an extension

of the May 5, 1995 time limit in which

to apply event recorders under 49 CFR

229.135. On February 6, 1995, FRA

granted authority to extend this time

limit for compliance to July 1, 1996, as

requested, under Docket LI–93–13, and

contingent upon Metra providing FRA

with a status report of their event

recorder installation schedule at

quarterly intervals thereafter.

Metra seeks an extension of the time

period necessary to comply with the

previously granted temporary waiver of

compliance. Metra’s projected

completion dates were contingent upon

the delivery of event recording devices,

the rebuilding of their electric multiple

unit cars by an outside company, and

the construction of new non-multiple

unit control cab cars to replace a group

of older non-multiple unit control cab

cars. Metra has been unable to maintain

the projected completion dates due to a

lack of manpower within Metra, internal

scheduling problems at the car

rebuilder, and internal scheduling

problems at the car builder. Metra

requests that the compliance date be

extended to March 3, 1998.

Interested parties are invited to

participate in these proceedings by

submitting written views, data, or

comments. FRA does not anticipate

scheduling a public hearing in

connection with these proceedings since

the facts do not appear to warrant a

hearing. If any interested party desires

an opportunity for oral comment, they

should notify FRA, in writing, before

the end of the comment period and

specify the basis for their request.

All communications concerning these

proceedings should identify the

appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver

Petition Docket Number LI–93–13) and

must be submitted in triplicate to the

Docket Clerk, Office of Chief Counsel,

FRA, Nassif Building, 400 Seventh

Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590.

Communications received within 45

days of the date of publication of this

notice will be considered by FRA before

final action is taken. Comments received

after that date will be considered as far

as practicable. All written

communications concerning these

proceedings are available for

examination during regular business

hours (9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.) in Room

8201, Nassif Building, 400 Seventh

Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590.
