ACTION: Notice.
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the update to the
noise exposure maps submitted by the
Allegheny County Airport Authority for
the Pittsburgh International Airport
under the provisions of Title I of the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96–193) and 14 CFR
part 150 are in compliance with
applicable requirements.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date
of the FAA’s determination on the
updated noise exposure maps in
November 8, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Edward S. Gabsewics, CEP,
Environmental Specialist, Federal
Aviation Administration, Harrisburg
Airports District Office, 3905 Hartzdale
Drive, Suite 508, Camp Hill, PA 17011,
Telephone 717–730–2832.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA finds
that the updated noise exposure maps
submitted for the Pittsburgh
International Airport are in compliance
with applicable requirements of Part
150, effective November 8, 2007.
Under section 103 of Title I of the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act of 1979 (hereinafter referred to as
‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may
submit to the FAA noise exposure maps
which meet applicable regulations and
which depict non-compatible land uses
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:16 Nov 21, 2007
Jkt 214001
as of the date of submission of such
maps, a description of projected aircraft
operations, and the ways in which such
operations will affect such maps. The
Act requires such maps to be developed
in consultation with interested and
affected parties in the local community,
governmental agencies, and persons
using the Airport.
An airport operator who has
submitted noise exposure maps that are
found by FAA to be in compliance with
the requirements of Federal Aviation
Regulations (FAR) Part 150,
promulgated pursuant to Title I of the
Act, may submit a noise compatibility
program for FAA approval which sets
forth the measures the operator has
taken or proposes for the reduction of
existing non-compatible uses and for the
prevention of the introduction of
additional non-compatible uses.
The FAA has completed its review of
the updated noise exposure maps and
related documentation submitted by the
Allegheny County Airport Authority.
The documentation that constitutes the
‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in
section 150.7 of Part 150 includes:
Exhibit 4.3–1 ‘‘Existing (2005) Noise
Exposure Contours’’, and Exhibit 5.3–1
‘‘Future (2010) Noise Exposure
Contours’’ as well as all supporting
information. The FAA has determined
that these maps for the Pittsburgh
International Airport are in compliance
with applicable requirements. This
determination is effective on November
8, 2007.
FAA’s determination on an 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
FAR Part 150. Such determination does
not constitute approval of the
applicant’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 103 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
contours, or in interpreting the noise
exposure maps to resolve questions
concerning, for example, which
properties should be covered by the
provisions of section 107 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
PO 00000
Frm 00106
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
65803
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, which submitted those
maps, or with those public agencies and
planning agencies with which
consultation is required under section
103 of the Act. The FAA has relied on
the certification by the airport operator,
under section 150.21 of FAR Part 150,
that the statutorily required consultation
has been accomplished.
Copies of the full noise exposure map
documentation and the FAA’s
evaluation of the updated maps for the
Pittsburgh International Airport are
available for examination at the
following locations:

Consumer Information; Rating
Program for Child Restraint Systems

Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice, request for comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In response to Section 14(g) of
the Transportation Recall Enhancement,
Accountability, and Documentation
(TREAD) Act, the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration
established a child restraint consumer
information rating program. This
PO 00000
Frm 00107
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
program conducts a yearly assessment
on the ease of using add-on child
restraints and provides these ratings to
the public. The program has been
successful in encouraging child restraint
manufacturers to improve their harness
designs, labels, and manuals such that
most now receive the top rating.
However, some recent research, as well
as a February 2007 public meeting held
by the agency on the Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
system has indicated that some features
that make child restraints easier to use
are not being captured by the current
program. Additionally, the agency
wants to make sure that the program
continues to provide useful information
to the public. In an effort to further
enhance the program and provide
consumers with updated information
we are proposing some new features and
new rating criteria, and to adjust the
scoring system. The agency anticipates
that these program changes will result
in more child restraints being used
correctly by continuing to encourage
manufacturers to install more features
that help make the restraints easier to
use.
DATES: You should submit your
comments early enough to ensure that
the Docket receives them not later than
December 24, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Comments should refer to
the docket number and be submitted by
