Background The Omega navigation system ceased operation on September 30, 1997. Because the Omega system has been decommissioned for over 10 years, the FAA intends to cancel all Omega Technical Standard Orders and revoke all associated Technical Standard Order Authorizations (TSOA). The FAA database contains three (3) specific TSOs for equipment based on the Omega system as a means of navigation, and numerous TSOAs issued for the design and manufacture of Omega avionics equipment. This announcement serves as notice to all Omega TSOA holders that the FAA is cancelling all TSOs (including active historical TSOs) and revoking all TSOAs for Omega avionics equipment.

E8–18133 Filed 8–7–08; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–13–M DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration Approval of Noise Compatibility Program for Fresno-Yosemite International Airport, Fresno, CA Federal Aviation Administration, DOT ACTION: Notice AGENCY: pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its findings on the noise compatibility program submitted by the City of Fresno, California under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. (the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 CFR Part 150. These findings are made in recognition of the description of Federal and nonfederal responsibilities in Senate Report No. 96–52 (1980). On July 6, 2005 (70 FR 50437–50438), the FAA determined that the noise exposure maps submitted by the city of Fresno under Part 150 were in compliance with applicable requirements. On July 28, 2008, the FAA approved the FresnoYosemite International Airport noise compatibility program. All of the recommendations of the program were approved. No program elements relating to new or revised flight procedures for noise abatement were proposed by the airport operator. DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the FAA’s approval of the Fresno Yosemite International Airport noise compatibility program is July 28, 2008. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David B. Kessler, AICP, Regional Environmental Protection Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, Western Pacific Region, Mailing address: P.O. Box 92007, Los Angeles, CA 90009–2007. Street Address: 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Hawthorne, California 90261. Telephone 310/725– 3615. Documents reflecting this FAA action may be reviewed at this same location. This notice announces that the FAA has given its overall approval to the Noise Compatibility Program for FresnoYosemite International Airport, effective July 28, 2008. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:25 Aug 07, 2008 Jkt 214001 Under section 47504 of the Act, an airport operator who has previously submitted a noise exposure map may submit to the FAA a noise compatibility program which sets forth the measures taken or proposed by the airport operator for the reduction of existing non-compatible land uses and prevention of additional non-compatible land uses within the area covered by the Noise Exposure Maps. The Act requires such programs to be developed in consultation with interested and affected parties including local communities, government agencies, airport users, and FM personnel. Each airport noise compatibility program developed in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150 is a local program, not a Federal program. The FAA does not substitute its judgment for that of the airport proprietor with respect to which measures should be recommended for action. The FAA’s approval or disapproval of 14 CFR Part 150 program recommendations is measured according to the standards expressed in Part 150 and the Act and is limited to the following determinations: a. The Noise Compatibility Program was developed in accordance with the provisions and procedures of FAR Part 150; b. Program measures are reasonably consistent with achieving the goals of reducing existing non-compatible land uses around the airport and preventing the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses; c. Program measures would not create an undue burden on interstate or foreign commerce, unjustly discriminate against types or classes of aeronautical uses, violate the terms of airport grant agreements, or intrude into areas preempted by the Federal Government; and d. Program measures relating to the use of flight procedures can be implemented within the period covered by the program without derogating safety, adversely affecting the efficient use and management of the navigable airspace and air traffic control systems, or adversely affecting other powers and responsibilities of the Administrator prescribed by law. Specific limitations with respect to FAA’s approval of an airport noise compatibility program are delineated in FAR Part 150, section 150.5. Approval is not a determination concerning the acceptability of land uses under Federal, state, or local law. Approval does not by itself constitute an FAA implementing action. A request for Federal action or approval to implement specific noise compatibility measures may be PO 00000 Frm 00112 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 required, and an FAA decision on the request may require an environmental assessment of the proposed action. Approval does not constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the implementation of the program nor a determination that all measures covered by the program are eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA under the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, as amended. Where federal funding is sought, requests for project grants must be submitted to the FAA Airports District Office in Burlingame, California. The City of Fresno submitted to the FAA on April 20, 2005, the Noise Exposure Maps, descriptions, and other documentation produced during the noise compatibility planning study conducted from October 2002 through June 2006. The Fresno-Yosemite International Airport Noise Exposure Maps were determined by FAA to be in compliance with applicable requirements on July 6, 2005. Notice of this determination was published in the Federal Register on August 26, 2005 (70 FR 50437–50438). The Fresno-Yosemite International Airport study contains a proposed noise compatibility program comprised of actions designed for phased implementation by airport management and adjacent jurisdictions from (2004 to beyond the year 2009). It was requested that the FAA evaluate and approve this material as a Noise Compatibility Program as described in 49 U.S.C. § 47504 of the Act. The City of Fresno initially submitted its noise compatibility program for the subject airport to the FAA on May 26, 2006 (71 FR 33032–33033). In a letter received by FAA on September 15, 2006, the City of Fresno requested that FAA suspend its review and processing of the noise compatibility program in order to modify the document. FAA terminated its formal review of the City of Fresno’s noise compatibility program effective September 15, 2006 (71 FR 56582). Subsequently, the City of Fresno submitted their revised noise compatibility program to FAA. Therefore, the FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for FAT, effective on April 18, 2008. The FAA began its review of the program on April 18, 2008, and was required by a provision of the Act to approve or disapprove the program within 180 days (other than the use of new or modified flight procedures for noise control). Failure to approve or disapprove such program within the 180-day period shall be deemed to be an approval of such program. E:\FR\FM\08AUN1.SGM 08AUN1
