AGENCY: ACTION: Federal Aviation Administration Notice. Release of Airport Property, Martin County Airport, Stuart, FL The FAA has determined that the minimum random drug and alcohol testing percentage rates for the period January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, will remain at 25 percent of safety-sensitive employees for random drug testing and 10 percent of safetysensitive employees for random alcohol testing.

Discussion: Pursuant to 14 CFR 120.109(b), the FAA Administrator’s decision on whether to change the minimum annual random drug testing rate is based on the reported random drug test positive rate for the entire aviation industry. If the reported random drug test positive rate is less than 1.00%, the Administrator may continue the minimum random drug testing rate at 25%. In 2010, the random drug test positive rate was 0.503%. Therefore, the minimum random drug testing rate will remain at 25% for calendar year 2012. Similarly, 14 CFR 120.217(c), requires the decision on the minimum annual random alcohol testing rate to be based on the random alcohol test violation rate. If the violation rate remains less than 0.50%, the Administrator may continue the minimum random alcohol testing rate at 10%. In 2010, the random alcohol test violation rate was 0.11%. Therefore, the minimum random alcohol testing rate will remain at 10% for calendar year 2012. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about how the annual random testing percentage rates are determined please refer to the Code of Federal Regulations Title 14, § 120.109(b) (for drug testing), and 120.217(c) (for alcohol testing). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Notice and request for public comment. AGENCY: The FAA hereby proposes to rule and invites public comment on its intent to release certain obligated properties, namely approximately 200 acres at the Martin County Airport, Stuart, FL, from the conditions, reservations, and restrictions as contained in a Surplus Property Agreement between the FAA and the Martin County, dated July 1, 1947, and in accordance with the provisions of Title 49 U.S.C. 47153(c). In anticipation and consideration of its request for a release, Martin County contracted for the installation of Engineered Materials Arresting Systems (EMAS) on Runway 12–30 at the Martin County Airport. The County also advised that its release request is designed to clarify the airport property and to correct ambiguities in title records since portions of the property contemplated by its release requested have been transferred over a number of years to a number of private and public parties. The release of the airport premises thus allows for the FAA and Martin County to establish a reliable and accurate boundary of obligated airport property. The property to be released includes parcels occupied by portions of the Martin County Golf Course, the YMCA, residential developments, a drainage area, and vacant lands. These parcels are currently designated as nonaeronautical use. The County accommodated the installation EMAS on Runway 12–30, enhancing safety for aeronautical users without impacting useable runway length in consideration of its request that a portion of the airport property be released of its federal obligations. The release of the nearly 200 acres also allows the FAA and the airport sponsor to establish and agree upon the boundary of airport property obligated through the Surplus Property Act of 1944. Additionally, the release will not prevent accomplishing the purpose for which the property was SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\01DEN1.SGM 01DEN1

    Discussion: Pursuant to 14 CFR 120.109(b), the FAA Administrator's 
decision on whether to change the minimum annual random drug testing 
rate is based on the reported random drug test positive rate for the 
entire aviation industry. If the reported random drug test positive

random drug testing rate at 25%. In 2010, the random drug test positive 
rate was 0.503%. Therefore, the minimum random drug testing rate will 
remain at 25% for calendar year 2012.
    Similarly, 14 CFR 120.217(c), requires the decision on the minimum 
annual random alcohol testing rate to be based on the random alcohol 
test violation rate. If the violation rate remains less than 0.50%, the 
Administrator may continue the minimum random alcohol testing rate at 
10%. In 2010, the random alcohol test violation rate was 0.11%. 
Therefore, the minimum random alcohol testing rate will remain at 10% 
for calendar year 2012.

random testing percentage rates are determined please refer to the Code 
of Federal Regulations Title 14, Sec.  120.109(b) (for drug testing),
