Notice of Availability for the Final Air Quality General
Conformity Determination (Final GCD) for Proposed Operations of Lynx
Aviation, Inc. at Denver International Airport, Denver, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of availability of the Final Air Quality General
Conformity Determination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 176 (c) of the Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990, the FAA announces the availability of the Final General
Conformity Determination for Proposed Operations of Lynx Aviation, Inc.
(Lynx), at Denver International Airport (DEN). FAA has determined that
emissions from Lynx's operations at DEN conform to the applicable
Colorado State Implementation Plans (SIPs).
    In accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR Sec.  93.156(b), FAA
made the Draft Air Quality General Conformity Determination (Draft GCD)
for Proposed Operations of Lynx Aviation, Inc., at Denver International
Airport, Denver, CO available for public review beginning on July 20,
2007. FAA published notice of the draft determination in the ``Rocky
Mountain News,'' Denver, Colorado on July 20 and 21, 2007 and DEN made
copies of the draft determination available at the airport. FAA
published the Notice of Availability and Public Comment Period for the
Draft General Conformity Determination in the Federal Register on July
20, 2007 (72 FR 39877).
    FAA received one comment during the public comment period, which
ended on August 20, 2007. The commenter stated that jet aviation
activity results in excessive pollution and that there should be less
aviation activity in general in the United States. The commenter did
not provide comments specific to the Draft General Conformity
Determination; therefore, a response to the comment is not necessary.
    Consequently, the Final General Conformity Determination consists
of the Draft General Conformity Determination, with two typographical
corrections.
    1. Page 1, first sentence in the first paragraph under Introduction
was revised to read: ``Lynx Aviation, Inc. (Lynx Aviation) has
announced its

[[Page 54968]]

interest in initiating scheduled service at Denver International
Airport (DEN), now commencing in October 2007.''
    2. Page 3, first sentence in the second paragraph under Aircraft
and Supportng Equipment Emissions was revised to read: ``Under the
Proposed Action alternative, Lynx Aviation intends to introduce service
at DEN on October 1, 2007.''

    Note: The above corrections do not impact the analysis or the
results. FAA will also publish this Notice of Availability for the
Final General Conformity Determination in the ``Rocky Mountain
News,'' Denver, Colorado.
