4828 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 27, 2009 / Notices 

requested that the FAA review this 

material as the Noise Exposure Maps, as 

described in Section 47503 of the Act, 

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 47504 of the Act. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the Noise Exposure Maps and related 

descriptions submitted by Okaloosa 

County. The specific documentation 

determined to constitute the Noise 

Exposure Maps includes: Table 3–4, 

2008 FAR Part 150 Forecasts; Table 4– 

3, Operational Fleet Mix; Table 4–4, 

2008 Average Daily Operations; Table 

4–5, 2013 Average Daily Operations; 

Table 4–6, Flight Track Utilization; 

Figure 4–2, 2008/2013 Flight Tracks 

Runway 14; 2008/2013 Flight Tracks 

Runway 32; 2008/2013 Flight Tracks 

Touch-and-Go; Figure 4–5, 2008 Official 

Noise Exposure Map; Figure 4–6, 2013 

Official Noise Exposure Map; Table 4– 

9, 2008 Noise Exposure in the Airport 

Environs; Figure 4–7, 2008 Incompatible 

Land Uses; Table 4–10, 2013 Noise 

Exposure in the Airport Environs; and, 

Figure 4–8, 2013 Incompatible Land 

Uses. The FAA has determined that 

these maps for Destin-Ft. Walton Beach 

Airport are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on January 14, 

2009. FAA’s determination on the 

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 

14 CFR Part 150. Such determination 

does not constitute approval of the 

airport operator’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 47503 of the 

Act, 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 exposure 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 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 

that submitted those maps, or with 

those public agencies and planning 

agencies with which consultation is 

required under Section 47503 of the 

Act. The FAA has relied on the 

certification by the airport operator, 

under Section 150.21 of Part 150, that 

the statutorily required consultation has 

been accomplished. 

The FAA has formally received the 

Noise Compatibility Program for DestinFt. Walton Beach Airport, also effective 

on January 14, 2009. 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 July 13, 2009. 

The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be 

conducted under the provisions of 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 non-compatible land 

uses and preventing the introduction of 

additional non-compatible 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 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:

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: Los 

Angeles County, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of the 

California Department of Transportation 

(Caltrans), is issuing this notice to 

advise the public that a draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be prepared for the proposed New 

State Route 138 project in Los Angeles 

County, California. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Ronald Kosinski, Deputy District 

Director, California Department of 

Transportation District 7 Division of 

Environmental Planning, 100 South 

Main Street, Mail Stop 16A, Los 

Angeles, CA 90012. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective 

July 1, 2007, the FHWA assigned, and 

Caltrans assumed, environmental 

responsibilities for this project pursuant 

to 23 U.S.C. 327. Caltrans as the 

delegated National Policy Act (NEPA) 

lead agency will prepare a draft 

Environmental Impact Statement on a 

proposal to construct a new freeway/ 

expressway within the City of Palmdale, 

Los Angeles County, California. The 

proposed alignment follows the existing 

Avenue P–8 corridor from State Route 

14 to 100th Street for a distance of 

approximately 10 miles. This is part of 

a larger overall plan to construct a new 

freeway/expressway between SR–14 in 

Los Angeles County and I–15 in San 

Bernardino County. 

Improvements to this corridor are 

considered necessary to provide for the 

existing and projected traffic demand 

attributed to large-scale growth and 

increasing developments in the northern 

portion of Los Angeles County, 

especially in the cities of Palmdale and 

Lancaster. In addition, insufficient 

regional access both to and from the 

Palmdale Airport constrains the 

likelihood of future airport expansion. 

The Southern California Association of 

Governments (SCAG) has identified the 

Palmdale Airport as the key component 

in the regional airport system and states 

that by 2025, the airport will play an 

important role in servicing the Northern 

Los Angeles Region as this area 

continues to experience growth. 

Alternatives under consideration 

include (1) ‘‘No-Build’’; (2) Constructing 

a new 4-lane east-west State Route 138 

(SR–138) from State Route 14 (SR–14) to 

50th Street, and then transitioning to a 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES6

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 27, 2009 / Notices 4829 

4-lane expressway up to 100th Street; 

and (3) Constructing a freeway/ 

expressway similar in scope to 

Alternative 2 except for the portion 

between 15th Street and 70th Street 

where the alignment shifts south by 

approximately 2190 feet. For this 

segment the centerline alignment would 

follow the original easement granted by 

Los Angeles World Airport (LAWA). 

Incorporated into and studied with the 

various build alternatives will be design 

variations of grade and alignment. 

It is anticipated that this new 

freeway/expressway would be 

constructed on six to eight feet of fill 

material. In areas prone to flooding, the 

fill material (vertical profiles) would 

increase to avoid flooding problems. 

Culverts, ditches, and viaducts would 

also be constructed when necessary to 

avoid floodwaters and washes. For 

alternatives 2 and 3, viaducts are 

proposed from approximately Division 

Street to 10th Street and at Little Rock 

Wash. Alternatives 2 and 3 also include 

a proposal to close the existing partial 

interchange at SR–14 and Rancho Vista 

Blvd. and modifying the existing partial 

interchange at SR–14 and 10th Street 

West to a full interchange. 

It is anticipated that the proposed 

project may require the following 

federal approvals and permits: a 

Biological Opinion from the United 

States Fish and Wildlife Service, 

approval of a PM10 and PM2.5 Hot Spot 

Analysis by the Conformity Working 

Group for transportation conformity 

determination under the Clean Air Act, 

Section 401, 402 and 404 permits under 

the Clean Water Act, and a Farmland 

Conversion Impact Rating under the 

Farmland Protection Policy Act. 

Letters describing the proposed action 

and soliciting comments will be sent to 

appropriate Federal, State and local 

agencies, Participating Agencies, Tribal 

governments, and to private 

organizations and citizens who have 

previously expressed or are known to 

have an interest in this proposal. NEPA 

requires the lead agency to conduct an 

early and open process for determining 

the scope of issues to be addressed and 

for identifying the significant issues 

related to a proposed action. In 

compliance with NEPA, a formal 

scoping meeting will be held in the City 

of Palmdale on February 10, 2009 at the 

Palmdale Cultural Center, located at 

38350 N. Sierra Highway, Palmdale, CA 

93550. Public notice will be given of the 

time and place of the meeting. 

To ensure that the full range of issues 

related to this proposed action are 

addressed and all significant issues 

identified, comments and suggestions 

are invited from all interested parties. 

Comments or questions concerning this 

proposed action and the draft EIS 

should be directed to Caltrans at the 

address provided above.

Title: Troubled Assets Relief Program 

(TARP) Capital Purchase Program (CPP) 

Monthly Survey. 

Description: Authorized under the 

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act 

(EESA) of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–343), the 

Department of the Treasury has 

implemented several aspects of the 

Troubled Asset Relief Program. Among 

these components is a voluntary Capital 

Purchase Program (CPP) under which 

the Department may purchase 

qualifying capital in U.S. banking 

organizations. The Treasury invested 

capital through this program in over 250 

financial institutions. As part of this 

program, Treasury would like to track 

how the capital is being used, and 

whether these capital injections are 

having the desired effect of ensuring 

liquidity within the banking system and 

thereby increasing lending activity. The 

Treasury will be conducting evaluations 

using quarterly Call Report data 

supplied by these financial institutions 

to their primary regulator. However, in 

order to have a more frequent and 

timely snapshot of the current lending 

environment, Treasury is requesting the 

ability to conduct a monthly survey of 

the 20 largest institutions by loans 

outstanding in order to supplement the 

quarterly analysis.
