Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 217 / Thursday, November 10, 2005 / Notices the requirements of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) part 150, promulgated pursuant to the Act, may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets forth the measures the operator has taken or proposes to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional noncompatible uses. The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for Vero Beach Municipal Airport, effective on November 2, 2005. The airport operator has 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 47504 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 May 1, 2006. 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 or create an undue burden on interstate of foreign commerce, and whether they are 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 relating to these factors, 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: Federal Aviation Administration, Orlando Airports District Office, 5950 Hazeltine National Dr., Suite 400, Orlando, Florida 32822. Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

ACTION: Notice. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration AGENCY: RTCA Special Committee 186: Automatic Dependent Surveillance— Broadcast (ADS–B) SUMMARY: The FAA has determined that the minimum random drug and alcohol testing percentage rates for the period January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006, will remain at 25 percent of covered aviation employees for random drug testing and 10 percent of covered aviation employees for random alcohol testing.

Discussion: Pursuant to 14 CFR part 121, appendix I, section V.C, the FAA Administrator’s decision on whether to change the minimum annual random drug testing rate is based on the reported random drug test positive rate for the entire aviation industry. If the reported random drug test positive rate is less than 1.00%, the Administrator may continue the minimum random drug testing rate at 25%. In 2004, the random drug test positive rate was 0.54%. Therefore, the minimum random drug testing rate will remain at 25% for calendar year 2006. Similarly, 14 CFR part 121, appendix J, section III.C, requires the decision on the minimum annual random alcohol testing rate to be based on the random alcohol test violation rate. If the violation rate remains less than 0.50%, the Administrator may continue the minimum random alcohol testing rate at 10%. In 2004, the random alcohol test violation rate was 0.09%. Therefore, the minimum random alcohol testing rate will remain at 10% for calendar year 2006.

Aviation Employees for the Period of January 1, 2006, Through December 
31, 2006

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA has determined that the minimum random drug and 
alcohol testing percentage rates for the period January 1, 2006, 
through December 31, 2006, will remain at 25 percent of covered 
aviation employees for random drug testing and 10 percent of covered 
aviation employees for random alcohol testing.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Mark Crispi, Office of Aerospace 
Medicine, Drug Abatement Division, Program Analysis Branch (AAM-810), 
Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., 
Washington, DC 20591; telephone (202) 267-8442.
    Discussion: Pursuant to 14 CFR part 121, appendix I, section V.C, 
the FAA Administrator's decision on whether to change the minimum 
annual random drug testing rate is based on the reported random drug 
test positive rate for the entire aviation industry. If the reported 
random drug test positive rate is less than 1.00%, the Administrator 
may continue the minimum random drug testing rate at 25%. In 2004, the 
random drug test positive rate was 0.54%. Therefore, the minimum random 
drug testing rate will remain at 25% for calendar year 2006.
    Similarly, 14 CFR part 121, appendix J, section III.C, requires the 
decision on the minimum annual random alcohol testing rate to be based 
on the random alcohol test violation rate. If the violation rate 
remains less than 0.50%, the Administrator may continue the minimum 
random alcohol testing rate at 10%. In 2004, the random alcohol test 
violation rate was 0.09%. Therefore, the minimum random alcohol testing 
rate will remain at 10% for calendar year 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If you have questions about how the annual 
random testing percentage rates are determined please refer to the Code 
of Federal Regulations Title 14: part 121, appendix I, section V.C (for 
drug testing), and appendix J, section III.C (for alcohol testing).
