54876 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 204 / Friday, October 23, 2009 / Notices 

1ADBF states that eliminating TCBY as a rail 

carrier through this acquisition will enable ADBF’s 

owners to restructure their railroad holdings by 

filing a class exemption notice for continuance in 

control of three other disconnected short line 

railroads they control. It appears that ADBF’s 

owners presently are not authorized to have 

common control of more than one rail carrier. If that 

is the case, the Board expects the owners to 

promptly submit an appropriate filing for 

authorization for that common control. 

2The class exemption invoked by ADBF does not 

provide for retroactive effectiveness. 

ADBF acquired the rail line as part of a 

corporate restructuring, but did not file 

its verified notice of exemption with the 

Board until October 9, 2009.1 Thus, the 

effective date of the exemption is 

November 8, 2009 (30 days after the 

exemption is filed).2

ADBF certifies that its projected 

annual revenues as a result of this 

transaction do not exceed those that 

would qualify it as a Class III carrier and 

that its projected annual revenues will 

not exceed $5 million. 

According to ADBF, there is no 

provision or agreement that may limit 

future interchange with a third-party 

connecting carrier. 

Pursuant to the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law 

110–161, § 193, 121 Stat. 1844 (2007), 

nothing in this decision authorizes the 

following activities at any solid waste 

rail transfer facility: collecting, storing 

or transferring solid waste outside of its 

original shipping container; or 

separating or processing solid waste 

(including baling, crushing, compacting 

and shredding). The term ‘‘solid waste’’ 

is defined in section 1004 of the Solid 

Waste Disposal Act, 42 U.S.C. 6903. 

If the notice contains false or 

misleading information, the exemption 

is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the 

exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) 

may be filed at any time. The filing of 

a petition to revoke does not 

automatically stay the effectiveness of 

the exemption. Petitions for stay must 

be filed no later than November 2, 2009. 

An original and 10 copies of all 

pleadings, referring to STB Finance 

Docket No. 35035, must be filed with 

the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423– 

0001. In addition, a copy of each 

pleading must be served on John D. 

Heffner, 1750 K Street, NW., Suite 200, 

Washington, DC 20006.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Aircraft Noise Impacts Research 

Roadmap 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of meeting participation. 

SUMMARY: This notice advises interested 

persons that the FAA is conducting 

workshops to develop an aircraft noise 

impacts research roadmap. The 

roadmap is intended to advance our 

scientific knowledge in order to 

optimally address the impacts of aircraft 

noise on society. The main objective of 

the workshops is to outline key research 

elements of the roadmap, prioritize 

research questions, and identify ways to 

overcome potential research challenges. 

DATES: The first workshop will be held 

in Washington, DC, on December 10 and 

11, 2009 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. A followon workshop will be held on March 4, 

2010, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: The first workshop will be 

held at the National Academy of 

Sciences Keck Center, 500 Fifth Street, 

NW., Washington, DC. The follow-on 

workshop will be held in conjunction 

with the University of California-Davis 

Symposium on Aviation Noise and Air 

Quality and will be held at the Holiday 

Inn-San Diego—On the Bay, 1355 North 

Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA 92101. 

Attendance is open to all interested 

parties.

details will soon be available at http:// 

www.fican.org under FAA Workshop. 

Background: Based on the advice of 

its Research, Engineering and 

Development Advisory Committee 

(REDAC), the FAA is developing a 

comprehensive aircraft noise impacts 

research roadmap for the FAA and other 

interested parties to implement more 

systematic, effective, and 

complementary research programs. The 

FAA held a preliminary forum with 

international noise researchers in 

conjunction with Internoise 2009 in 

August 2009 to discuss research needed 

to advance the current understanding of 

the relationship between aircraft noise 

and its impacts such as community 

annoyance and sleep disturbance. The 

FAA now invites researchers, 

practitioners, and other interested 

parties to participate in a series of 

upcoming Aircraft Noise Impacts 

Research Roadmap workshops to 

contribute to developing the research 

roadmap with information received 

from that forum.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 10, 2005, the President 

signed into law the Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) 

(Pub. L. 109–59, 119 Stat. 1144). Section 

1914 of SAFETEA–LU mandates the 

establishment of the Motorcyclist 

Advisory Council as follows: ‘‘The 

Secretary, acting through the 

Administrator of the Federal Highway 

Administration, in consultation with the 

Committee on Transportation and 

Infrastructure of the House of 

Representatives and the Committee on 

Environment and Public Works of the 

Senate, shall appoint a Motorcyclist 

Advisory Council to coordinate with 

and advise the Administrator on 

infrastructure issues of concern to 

motorcyclists, including— 

(1) Barrier design; 

(2) Road design, construction, and 

maintenance practices; and 

(3) The architecture and 

implementation of intelligent 

transportation system technologies.’’ 

In addition, section 1914 specifies the 

membership of the council: ‘‘The 

Council shall consist of not more than 

10 members of the motorcycling 

community with professional expertise 

in national motorcyclist safety 

advocacy, including— 

(1) At least— 

(A) One member recommended by a 

national motorcyclist association; 

(B) One member recommended by a 

national motorcycle rider’s foundation; 

(C) One representative of the National 

Association of State Motorcycle Safety 

Administrators; 

(D) Two members of State 

motorcyclists’ organizations; 

(E) One member recommended by a 

national organization that represents the 

builders of highway infrastructure; 

(F) One member recommended by a 

national association that represents the 

traffic safety systems industry; and 

(G) One member of a national safety 

organization; and 

(2) At least one, and not more than 

two, motorcyclists who are traffic 

system design engineers or State 

transportation department officials.’’ 

To carry out this requirement, the 

FHWA published a notice of intent to 

form an advisory committee in the 

Federal Register on December 23, 2005 

(70 FR 76353). This notice, consistent 

with the requirements of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 

announced the establishment of the 

Council and invited comments and 

nominations for membership. The 

FHWA announced the ten members 

selected to the Council in the Federal 

Register on October 5, 2006 (71 FR 

58903). An electronic copy of this 

document and the previous Federal 

Register notices associated with the 

MAC–FHWA can be downloaded 

through the Federal eRulemaking Portal 

at: http://www.regulations.gov and the 

Office of the Federal Register’s home 

page at: http://www.archives.gov/ 

federal_register. 

The FHWA anticipates that the MAC– 

FHWA will meet at least once a year, 

with meetings held in the Washington, 

DC, metropolitan area and the FHWA 

will publish notices in the Federal 

Register to announce the times, dates, 

and locations of these meetings. 

Meetings of the Council are open to the 

public and time will be provided in 

each meeting’s schedule for comments 

by members of the public. Attendance 

will necessarily be limited by the size of 

the meeting room. Members of the 

public may present oral or written 

comments at the meeting or may present 

written materials by providing copies to 

Ms. Fran Bents, Westat, 1650 Research 

Boulevard, Rockville, MD 20850–3195, 

(240) 314–7557, ten (10) days prior to 

the meeting. 

The agenda topics for the meetings 

will include a discussion of the 

following issues: (1) Barrier design; (2) 

road design, construction, and 

maintenance practices; and (3) the 

architecture and implementation of 

intelligent transportation system 

technologies. 

Conclusion 

The seventh meeting of the 

Motorcyclist Advisory Council to the 

Federal Highway Administration will be 

held on November 5, 2009, at the 

Crystal City Marriott, 1999 Jefferson 

Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202
