Petition for Exemption 

Docket No.: FAA–2017–0976. 

Petitioner: Bombardier Inc. 

Section of 14 CFR Affected: 

§ 25.1447(c)(1). 

Description of Relief Sought: 

ombardier requests an exemption to 

allow for the automatic deployment of 

oxygen dispensing units to occur at a 

higher pressure altitude than that 

required by 14 CFR 25.1447(c)(1) on 

BD–700–2A12 (Global 7000) and BD– 

700–2A13 (Global 8000) airplanes. 

Bombardier proposes that during 

operations at airports with elevations 

more than 13,800 feet above sea level, 

the FAA allow the required oxygen 

dispensing units to be automatically 

presented to the occupants before the 

cabin pressure altitude exceeds 17,000 

feet rather than 15,000 feet.

BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Requests for Comments; 

Clearance of a New Information 

Collection: FAA Aircraft Noise 

Complaint and Inquiry System (FAA 

Noise Portal) 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA 

invites public comments about our 

intention to request the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval for a voluntary information 

collection. The collection is part of 

FAA’s goal to more effectively and 

efficiently address noise complaints or 

inquiries it receives. The collection 

includes information such as name, 

email address, street or cross street, city, 

state, zip code and a description of the 

aircraft noise complaint or inquiry. The 

level of information to be collected is 

necessary to allow FAA to respond to 

the noise complaint or inquiry. 

Currently, the FAA receives noise 

complaints or inquiries in many formats 

sent to many different people in the 

agency. This collection will provide 

clear points of entry at the FAA regional 

and headquarters level for the public to 

submit noise complaints or inquiries 

using a web based system with 

consistent collection fields that will 

populate a national database. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by January 2, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA 

at the following address: Barbara Hall, 

Federal Aviation Administration, ASP– 

110, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort 

Worth, TX 76177. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for FAA’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to 

enhance the quality, utility and clarity 

of the information collection; and (d) 

ways that the burden could be 

minimized without reducing the quality 

of the collected information. The agency 

will summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Barbara Hall by email at: 

Barbara.L.Hall@faa.gov; phone: 940– 

594–5913. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2120–XXXX. 

Title: FAA Aircraft Noise Complaint 

and Inquiry System (FAA Noise Portal). 

Form Numbers: There are no forms. 

Type of Review: This is clearance of 

new information collection. 

Background: The purpose of the FAA 

Noise Portal is to allow the FAA to more 

efficiently and effectively respond to 

and address noise complaints or 

inquiries in a clear, consistent and 

repeatable manner that is responsive to 

the public and applies the best use of 

FAA resources. Currently, there is no 

clear FAA process or point of entry for 

the public to submit noise complaints/ 

inquiries. As a result, the public noise 

complaints are forwarded within the 

FAA until the appropriate person or 

organization responds to it. This creates 

a delay in FAA responses to the public. 

A public link to the FAA Noise Portal 

collection will be posted on each of the 

nine FAA regional Web sites and the 

FAA Headquarters Noise Ombudsman 

Web site for members of the public who 

want to submit an aircraft related noise 

complaint or inquiry to the FAA. The 

FAA Noise Portal includes required and 

optional fields for the public to 

complete. Once completed, the 

information is automatically sent to the 

FAA Regional Administrators Office or 

Noise Ombudsman who in turn assigns 

it to the appropriate FAA office to 

respond to the complaint within a 

specified time frame. All incoming 

complaints/inquiries are automatically 

entered into an FAA database that can 

be tracked to ensure timely responses 

and queried for informational purposes. 

The Web sites will also identify and 

provide links to other entities 

responsible for addressing aircraft noise 

related issues (e.g., airports, military, 

helicopters) and will contain links to 

pertinent aircraft noise related policy, 

environmental or community 

involvement documents. In addition, 

the Web sites will contain a mailing 

address and phone number for those 

members of the public who wish to mail 

a postal letter or use a voice prompt and 

recording system option to complete the 

required fields included in the FAA 

Noise Portal. 

Respondents: Generally, any member 

of the public in the United States with 

a valid email address who believes the 

FAA is the appropriate entity to answer 

their aircraft noise complaint or inquiry. 

Frequency: Members of the public are 

not limited to the number of times they 

can submit a complaint/inquiry to the 

FAA. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Fifteen minutes to enter the 

complaint or inquiry into the FAA 

Noise Portal fields. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

11,250 hours. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on October 26, 

2017.
