Release of Airport Property: Melbourne
International Airport, Melbourne, FL
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and Request for Public
Comment.
AGENCY:
The FAA hereby provides
notice of intent to release certain airport
properties totaling 22.15 acres at the
Melbourne International Airport,
Melbourne, Florida from the conditions,
reservations, and restrictions as
contained in a Quitclaim Deed
agreement between the FAA and the
City of Melbourne, dated August 6,
1947. The release of property will allow
the Melbourne Airport Authority to
dispose of the property for other than
aeronautical purposes. The property is
located on the north side of the airfield,
along the west side of Neiman Avenue
and south of Laurie Street in Brevard
County, Florida. The parcel is currently
designated as non-aeronautical use. The
property will be released of its federal
obligations to enhance the storm water
management of the surrounding
community, a benefit that cannot be
quantified. The property will be
swapped for another City-owned parcel.
The 22.15-acre parcel to be acquired is
located west of Apollo Boulevard and
North of General Aviation Drive in
Brevard County, Florida. This parcel is
adjacent to airport property and is
currently vacant. The fair market value
of the Neiman Avenue/Laurie Street
parcel has been determined by appraisal
to be $53,000. The fair market value of
the Apollo Boulevard/General Aviation
Way parcel has been determined by
appraisal to be $450,000.
Documents reflecting the Sponsor’s
request are available, by appointment
only, for inspection at the Melbourne
International Airport and the FAA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, § 2, 109 Stat.
163 (1995) (codified as revised at 44
U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days notice to the public for
comment on information collection
activities before seeking approval for
reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically,
FRA invites interested respondents to
comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection
activities regarding (i) whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (ii)
the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the
burden of the information collection
activities, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (iii) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public by
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)(I)–(iv); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(I)–(iv). FRA believes that
soliciting public comment will promote
its efforts to reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information mandated
by Federal regulations. In summary,
FRA reasons that comments received
will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce
reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it
organizes information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (iii) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.

Below is a brief summary of the
currently approved ICRs that FRA will
submit for clearance by OMB as
required under the PRA:
Title: Inspection and Maintenance
Standards for Steam Locomotives.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0505.
Abstract: The Locomotive Boiler
Inspection Act (LBIA) of 1911 required
each railroad subject to the Act to file
copies of its rules and instructions for
the inspection of locomotives. The
original LBIA was expanded to cover
the entire steam locomotive and tender
and all its parts and appurtenances.
This Act then requires carriers to make
inspections and to repair defects to
ensure the safe operation of steam
locomotives. The collection of
information is used by tourist or historic
railroads and by locomotive owners/
operators to provide a record for each
day a steam locomotive is placed in
service, as well as a record that the
required steam locomotive inspections
are completed. The collection of
information is also used by FRA Federal
inspectors to verify that necessary safety
inspections and tests have been
completed and to ensure that steam
locomotives are indeed ‘‘safe and
suitable’’ for service and are properly
operated and maintained.
Form Number(s): FRA–1, FRA–2,
FRA–3, FRA–4, FRA–5, FRA–19.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Respondent Universe: 82 Steam

I.C.C.2d 377 (1989). Any request for a stay should
be filed as soon as possible so that the Board may
take appropriate action before the exemptions’
effective date.
4 Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing
fee, which is currently set at $1,500. See 49 CFR
1002.2(f)(25).
5 Applicants state that they do not believe that the
right-of-way is suitable for other public purposes,
given the availability of other infrastructure in the
area. They note that the line contains reversionary
property interests which could affect the transfer of
title or use of the property for other than railroad
purposes.

that it organizes information collection requirements in a ``user
friendly'' format to improve the use of such information; and (iii)
accurately assess the resources expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 3501.
Below is a brief summary of the currently approved ICRs that FRA
will submit for clearance by OMB as required under the PRA:
Title: Inspection and Maintenance Standards for Steam Locomotives.
OMB Control Number: 2130-0505.
Abstract: The Locomotive Boiler Inspection Act (LBIA) of 1911
required each railroad subject to the Act to file copies of its rules
and instructions for the inspection of locomotives. The original LBIA
was expanded to cover the entire steam locomotive and tender and all
its parts and appurtenances. This Act then requires carriers to make
inspections and to repair defects to ensure the safe operation of steam
locomotives. The collection of information is used by tourist or
historic railroads and by locomotive owners/operators to provide a
record for each day a steam locomotive is placed in service, as well as
a record that the required steam locomotive inspections are completed.
The collection of information is also used by FRA Federal inspectors to
verify that necessary safety inspections and tests have been completed
and to ensure that steam locomotives are indeed ``safe and suitable''
for service and are properly operated and maintained.
Form Number(s): FRA-1, FRA-2, FRA-3, FRA-4, FRA-5, FRA-19.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Respondent Universe: 82 Steam Locomotive Owners/Operators.
Frequency of Submission: On occasion; annually.
