Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 140 / Thursday, July 22, 2010 / Notices on voluntary reporting of unsafe events; and (d) opinions and observations about the operation of C3RS at their work site. It is estimated that the survey will take no more than 30 minutes to complete for a maximum total burden of 1,800 hours (3,600 respondents*30 minutes/ 60 = 1,800 hours). The survey will be administered at three pilot sites within three to four years resulting in an average annual burden of 600 hours (1,800/3). ADDRESSES: The agency seeks public comments on its proposed information collection. Comments should address whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

AGENCY: This notice announces the cancellation of Technical Standard Order (TSO) C–60, Airborne Area Navigation Equipment Using Loran-C inputs and all subsequent revisions. The effect of the cancelled TSOs will result in the revocation of all TSOAs issued for the production of those navigational systems. These actions are necessary because the Loran-C Navigation System ceased operation on February 8, 2010. sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:46 Jul 21, 2010 Jkt 220001 Comments must be received on or before August 23, 2010 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Kevin Bridges, AIR–130, Federal Aviation Administration, 470 L’Enfant Plaza, Suite 4102, Washington, DC 20024.

The purpose and need of the ORD West ASR–9 is to enhance air traffic management for ORD to achieve the benefits of providing expanded radar coverage that would allow terminal air traffic control for additional new approach routes (West High and Wide approaches), as evaluated and approved in the O’Hare Modernization Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and ROD. The proposed ASR–9 would be constructed at a 200 foot (ft) × 200 ft area located west of the intersection of Kress Road and Western Drive on land leased from DPA. The total height of the ASR–9 tower structure would be 116 ft above ground level. The ASR–9 system consists of a tower, a rotating radar sail that transmits and receives the radio signals, an equipment building housing radar equipment, and an emergency generator with an aboveground storage tank for diesel fuel. One moving target indicator reflector and two Calibration and Performance Monitoring Equipment modules would be located at least 1 nautical mile from the preferred ASR– 9 site.

Telephone number: (847) 294– 7494. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final EA evaluated the construction and operation of a new ATCT at AZO. The ATCT would be located on vacant land in the northeast quadrant of AZO, east of main Runway 17/35 and between Runways 23 and 27. The ATCT site will occupy approximately 9.28 acres, and is 857 feet above mean sea level. The new ATCT will be a Low Activity Level facility with a 395-square-foot cab accommodating two operational positions and two support positions. The new ATCT will improve visibility of airport surfaces, have the capability to meet future operational and administrative expansion requirements, and increase the efficient functionality of the facility. In addition to the ATCT, the Final EA evaluated the construction and operation of a new 20,000-squarefoot standard design Terminal Radar Approach Control Facility/Base Building conforming to the guidelines of the Terminal Facilities Design Standards for Base Building and Environmental Support Buildings with modified space designations and minor room sizing. The Base Building would meet current and future administrative space requirements. The project also includes, and the Final EA evaluated, construction of a paved parking area next to the Base Building, relocation of a portion of the existing airport perimeter road approximately 40 feet to the west of its current location, construction of a new paved access drive from East Kilgore Road to the ATCT site, construction of a 10-foot fence around the entire facility and a new fence from East Kilgore Road to the facility, Dopplerization of the Very High Frequency Omni-Directional Range facility, lease of the ATCT parcel from the airport, approval of Federal funding for the project, and update of the Airport Layout Plan.
