Municipal Airport, Nashua, NH
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure
maps for Nashua Municipal Airport, as
submitted by the Nashua Airport
Authority under the provisions of Title
I of the Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96–193)
PO 00000

and 14 CFR Part 150, are in compliance
with applicable requirements.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date
of the FAA’s determination on the noise
exposure maps is April 29, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Richard Doucette, Federal Aviation
Administration, New England Region,
Airports Division, 12 New England
Executive Park, Burlington,
Massachusetts 01803.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure maps submitted
for Nashua Municipal Airport are in
compliance with applicable
requirements of Part 150, effective April
29, 2009.
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
that meet applicable regulations and
that depict non-compatible land uses 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,
government agencies, and persons using
the airport.
An airport operator who has
submitted such noise exposure maps
that are found by FAA to be in
compliance with the requirements of
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part
150, promulgated pursuant to Title I of
the Act, may submit a noise
compatibility program for FAA approval
that sets forth the measures the operator
has taken, or proposes, for the
introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
The FAA has completed its review of
the noise exposure map and related
descriptions submitted by the Nashua
Airport Authority. The specific maps
under consideration were Figure 1.
Existing (2009) Noise Exposure Map and
Figure 2. Future (2014) Noise Exposure
Map in the submission. The FAA has
determined that these maps for Nashua
Municipal Airport are in compliance
with applicable requirements. This
determination is effective on April 29,
2009.
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
E:\FR\FM\19MYN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 95 / Tuesday, May 19, 2009 / Notices
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
150 or through FAA’s review of a noise
exposure map. 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 that submitted the map
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 noise exposure maps
and of the FAA’s evaluation of the maps
are available for examination at the
following locations:

Municipal Airport, Boire Field, 93

Federal Railroad Administration
Petition for Waiver of Compliance
In accordance with Part 211 of Title
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
notice is hereby given that the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) has
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:48 May 18, 2009
Jkt 217001
received a request for a waiver of
compliance from certain requirements
of its safety standards. The individual
petition is described below, including
the party seeking relief, the regulatory
provisions involved, the nature of the
relief being requested, and the
petitioner’s arguments in favor of relief.
Wallowa Union Railroad; Waiver
Petition Docket Number FRA–2004–
18494
The Wallowa Union Railroad (WURR)
of Wallowa, Oregon, has petitioned for
a permanent waiver of compliance for
one passenger car, WURR 1120, from
the requirements of the Railroad Safety
Glazing Standards, Title 49 CFR Part
223, which require certified glazing in
all windows. The passenger car, WURR
1120, was built by Pullman Standard in
1947, and does not have glazing
material that meets the provisions of
Title 49 CFR Part 223.15 Requirements
for existing passenger cars for certified
glazing in the side facing windows. The
excursion operations on WURR consist
of trips ranging from five miles to sixty
miles. Speeds are generally ten miles
per hour (mph); however, there is a
relatively straight section of track
between milepost (MP) 57 and MP 83,
where the maximum speed is 15 mph.
WURR is located in rural
Northeastern Oregon, with very limited
access to the line outside of the railroad
itself. The largest town that the railroad
runs through has a population of 2,020,
and the county has a population of just
over 7,000 people. The most frequently
used public grade crossing has an ADT
of 3,250.
WURR states that the line, for the
most part, runs through pastures or river
canyons. Only two miles of the sixtythree miles of track are located within
the above mentioned town with the
population of 2,020. WURR requests
that due to the slow speed, the rural
area of operations, no instances of
vandalism from the time the original
waiver was granted in 2004, and
prohibitive cost to replace the side
windows the certified glazing
requirements be waived for the
passenger car WURR 1120.
The railroad also requests passenger
car WURR 1120, together with WURR
2636, which has the required certified
glazing, and both built in 1947, continue
to be classified as antiquated equipment
that is used only for excursion purposes
per 49 CFR 223.3(b)3.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since

the facts do not appear to warrant a

should notify FRA, in writing, before
the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.

proceedings should identify the
