ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its determination that the noise exposure maps submitted by the City and County of San Francisco for San Francisco International Airport under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et. seq (Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act) 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 February 10, 2016 and applicable January 29, 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Camille Garibaldi, Federal Aviation Administration, San Francisco Airports District Office, 1000 Marina Boulevard, Suite 220, Brisbane, California 94005– 1835; or telephone number: (650) 827– 7613. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds that the noise exposure maps submitted for San Francisco International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150 (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘part 150’’), effective January 29, 2016. Under 49 U.S.C. 47503 of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may submit to the FAA noise exposure maps which meet applicable regulations and which 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 noise exposure maps that are found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of part 150, promulgated pursuant to the Act, may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets forth the measures the operator has taken or proposes to take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional noncompatible uses. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00123 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure maps and accompanying documentation submitted by City and County of San Francisco. The documentation that constitutes the ‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in section 150.7 of part 150 includes: Exhibit 5–1–2014 Noise Exposure Map—San Francisco International Airport [existing condition] and Exhibit 5–2–2019 Noise Exposure Map—San Francisco International Airport [5-year forecast condition]. The Noise Exposure Maps contain current and forecast information including the depiction of the airport and its boundary; the runway configurations, land uses such as residential, commercial, industrial, and open space/recreational land use; locations of noise sensitive public buildings (such as schools, hospitals, and historic properties on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places); and the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) 65, 70, and 75 decibel airport noise contours resulting from existing and forecast airport operations. The frequency of airport operations is described in section 4.6 of the Noise Exposure Map Update report. Flight tracks associated with San Francisco International Airport are depicted in Exhibits 4–3 through 4–10a. The San Francisco International Airport noise monitoring system is described in section 4.7 and monitoring locations are shown on Exhibit 4–11 of the report. Estimates of the number of people residing within the CNEL contours is located in section 5.5 of the Noise Exposure Map Update report. The FAA has determined that these noise exposure maps and accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on January 29, 2016. 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 part 150. Such determination does not constitute approval of the applicant’s data, information or plans, or a commitment to approve a noise 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 47503 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 E:\FR\FM\10FEN1.SGM 10FEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 10, 2016 / Notices in interpreting the noise exposure maps to resolve questions concerning, for example, which properties should be covered by the provisions of section 47506 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 noise exposure maps. 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 those maps, or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which consultation is required under section 47503 of the Act. The FAA has relied on the certification by the airport operator, under section 150.21 of part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has been accomplished.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:22 Feb 09, 2016 Jkt 238001 This notice provides information regarding FHWA’s finding that a Buy America waiver is appropriate for the use of non-domestic Ferryboat Propulsion System (propeller, shafting, and reducing gear) for MV Matanuska ferry in the State of Alaska. DATES: The effective date of the waiver is February 11, 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions about this notice, please contact Mr. Gerald Yakowenko, FHWA Office of Program Administration, (202) 366–1562, or via email at gerald. yakowenko@dot.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Electronic Access Background The FHWA’s Buy America policy in 23 CFR 635.410 requires a domestic manufacturing process for any steel or iron products (including protective coatings) that are permanently incorporated in a Federal-aid construction project. The regulation also provides for a waiver of the Buy America requirements when the application would be inconsistent with the public interest or when satisfactory quality domestic steel and iron products are not sufficiently available. This notice provides information regarding FHWA’s finding that a Buy America waiver is appropriate for use of a nondomestic Ferryboat Propulsion System (propeller, shafting, and reducing gear) for MV Matanuska ferry in the State of Alaska. In accordance with Division K, section 122 of the ‘‘Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015’’ (PL 113–235), FHWA published a notice of intent to issue a waiver on its Web site (https:// www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/ contracts/waivers.cfm?id=116) on December 8, 2015. The FHWA received no comments in response to the publication. Based on all the information available to the agency, FHWA concludes that there are no domestic manufacturers of Ferryboat Frm 00124 Fmt 4703 Propulsion System (propeller, shafting, and reducing gear). In accordance with the provisions of section 117 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users, Technical Corrections Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110– 244, 122 Stat. 1572), FHWA is providing this notice as its finding that a waiver of Buy America requirements is appropriate. The FHWA invites public comment on this finding for an additional 15 days following the effective date of the finding. Comments may be submitted to FHWA’s Web site via the link provided to the waiver page noted above. Authority: (23 U.S.C. 313; PL 110–161, 23 CFR 635.410) Issued on: February 4, 2016. Gregory G.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its 
determination that the noise exposure maps submitted by the City and 
County of San Francisco for San Francisco International Airport under 
the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et. seq (Aviation Safety and Noise 
Abatement Act) 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 February 10, 2016 and applicable January 29, 
2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Camille Garibaldi, Federal Aviation 
Administration, San Francisco Airports District Office, 1000 Marina 
Boulevard, Suite 220, Brisbane, California 94005-1835; or telephone 
number: (650) 827-7613.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds 
that the noise exposure maps submitted for San Francisco International 
Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150 (hereinafter referred to as ``part 
150''), effective January 29, 2016. Under 49 U.S.C. 47503 of the 
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter referred to as 
``the Act''), an airport operator may submit to the FAA noise exposure 
maps which meet applicable regulations and which 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 noise exposure maps that are found 
by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of part 150, 
promulgated pursuant to the Act, may submit a noise compatibility 
program for FAA approval which sets forth the measures the operator has 
taken or proposes to take to reduce existing non-compatible uses and 
prevent the introduction of additional non-compatible uses.
    The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure maps and 
accompanying documentation submitted by City and County of San 
Francisco. The documentation that constitutes the ``Noise Exposure 
Maps'' as defined in section 150.7 of part 150 includes: Exhibit 5-1-
2014 Noise Exposure Map--San Francisco International Airport [existing 
condition] and Exhibit 5-2-2019 Noise Exposure Map--San Francisco 
International Airport [5-year forecast condition]. The Noise Exposure 
Maps contain current and forecast information including the depiction 
of the airport and its boundary; the runway configurations, land uses 
such as residential, commercial, industrial, and open space/
recreational land use; locations of noise sensitive public buildings 
(such as schools, hospitals, and historic properties on or eligible for 
the National Register of Historic Places); and the Community Noise 
Equivalent Level (CNEL) 65, 70, and 75 decibel airport noise contours 
resulting from existing and forecast airport operations. The frequency 
of airport operations is described in section 4.6 of the Noise Exposure 
Map Update report. Flight tracks associated with San Francisco 
International Airport are depicted in Exhibits 4-3 through 4-10a. The 
San Francisco International Airport noise monitoring system is 
described in section 4.7 and monitoring locations are shown on Exhibit 
4-11 of the report. Estimates of the number of people residing within 
the CNEL contours is located in section 5.5 of the Noise Exposure Map 
Update report. The FAA has determined that these noise exposure maps 
and accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable 
requirements. This determination is effective on January 29, 2016.
    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 part 150. Such determination 
does not constitute approval of the applicant's data, information or 
plans, or a commitment to approve a noise 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 47503 
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

[[Page 7187]]

in interpreting the noise exposure maps to resolve questions 
concerning, for example, which properties should be covered by the 
provisions of section 47506 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 noise exposure maps. 
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 those maps, 
or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which 
consultation is required under section 47503 of the Act. The FAA has

150.21 of part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has been 
accomplished.
