Notice of Availability of the Final
Supplemental Environmental
Assessment (SEA) and Amended
Finding of No Significant Impact/
Record of Decision (FONSI/ROD) for
the Runway 13/31 Shift/Extension and
Associated Improvements Project for
the Detroit Lakes-Becker County
Airport (DTL) in Detroit Lakes, MN
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The FAA is issuing this notice
to advise the public that the FAA has
prepared and approved (September 6,
2017) an Amended FONSI/ROD based
on the Final SEA for the DTL Runway
13/31 Shift/Extension and Associated
Improvements Project. The Final SEA
was prepared in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969, as amended, FAA
Orders 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’ and
5050.4B, ‘‘NEPA Implementing
Instructions for Airport Actions’’.

Mr.
Josh Fitzpatrick, Environmental
Protection Specialist, FAA DakotaMinnesota Airports District Office
(ADO), 6020 28th Avenue South, Suite
102, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55450.
Telephone number is (612) 253–4639.
Copies of the Amended FONSI/ROD
and/or Final SEA are available upon
written request by contacting Mr. Josh
Fitzpatrick through the contact
information above.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final
SEA evaluated the DTL Runway 13/31
Shift/Extension and Associated
Improvements Project. Due to airfield
deficiencies identified by the FAA and
Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT) at DTL, the
purpose of the proposed action is to
provide a usable, reliable, and safe
primary runway at an airport in or near
the City of Detroit Lakes that is
compliant with FAA and MnDOT
design standards, guidance, and
minimum system objectives for key
airports.
During the design phase, it was
discovered that several additional
project components were not evaluated
by the 2016 FEA and FONSI/ROD,
therefore, the FAA determined that the
proposed action needs to be updated
with a SEA to include project
components not explicitly considered.
The additional project components as
part of the proposed action include: 1.
Existing utilities impacted by the
project. 2. Visual NAVAIDS (wind cone
and segmented circle) impacted by the
project. 3. Buildings to be removed in
conjunction with the project. 4.
Relocation of Highway 59 access. 5.
Effluent discharge from upgraded
wastewater treatment facility.
The FAA prepared the Final Federal
SEA, pursuant to the requirements of
the NEPA. The Final SEA identified and
evaluated all reasonable alternatives.
After careful analysis, the City of Detroit
Lakes selected the following alternatives
as the preferred alternative: 1.
Alternative AU2, Runway 13 Overhead
Power Line Removal/Relocation. 2.
Alternative AU3, Runway 31 Overhead
Power Line Removal/Relocation. 3.
Alternative UU1, Runway 31 Fiber
Optic Communications Line-No Action.
4. Alternative UU5, Runway 31 UE
Power Line Relocation-Relocate Line
West in Longview Driver Right of Way.
5. Alternative WC2, Relocate Wind Cone
and Segmented Circle. 6. Alternative
BD2, Remove Buildings on Tracts 13
and 19. 7. Alternative HA2: Relocate
Highway 59 Access to the Northeast. 8.

Protection Zone (RPZ). These
alternatives satisfy the purpose and
need while minimizing impacts.
The evaluation of these components
in the preferred alternative conducted
under the SEA has not resulted in
additional or an increase in impacts
associated with the proposed action.
Based on the analysis in the Final
SEA, the FAA has determined that the
preferred alternative will not result in
significant impacts to resources
identified in accordance with FAA
Orders 1050.1F and 5054.4B. Therefore,
an environmental impact statement will
not be prepared.

Petition for Decision of
Inconsequential Noncompliance
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Grant of Petition.
AGENCY:
BMW of North America, LLC
(BMW), has determined that certain
model year (MY) 2016 BMW 7 Series
motor vehicles do not fully comply with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) No. 108, Lamps, reflective
devices and associated equipment.
BMW filed a noncompliance report
dated January 21, 2016. BMW also
petitioned NHTSA on February 12,
2016, for a decision that the subject
noncompliance is inconsequential as it
relates to motor vehicle safety.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
further information on this decision
contact Leroy Angeles, Office of Vehicle
Safety Compliance, the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), telephone (202) 366–5304,
facsimile (202) 366–5930.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Overview: BMW of North America,
LLC (BMW), has determined that certain
model year (MY) 2016 BMW 7 Series
motor vehicles do not fully comply with
paragraph S7.7.13.3 of Federal Motor
asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:56 Nov 20, 2017
Jkt 244001
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
108, Lamps, reflective devices and
associated equipment. BMW filed a
noncompliance report dated January 21,
2016, pursuant to 49 CFR part 573,
Defect and Noncompliance
Responsibility and Reports. BMW also
petitioned NHTSA on February 12,
2016, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d)
and 30120(h) and 49 CFR part 556), for
an exemption from the notification and
remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C.
Chapter 301 on the basis that this
noncompliance is inconsequential as it
relates to motor vehicle safety.
Notice of receipt of the petition was
published with a 30-day public
comment period, on March 4, 2016, in
the Federal Register (81 FR 11645). One
comment was received. To view the
petition, comments and all supporting
documents log onto the Federal Docket
Management System (FDMS) Web site
at: https://www.regulations.gov/. Then
follow the online search instructions to
locate docket number ‘‘NHTSA–2016–
0025.’’
II. Vehicles Involved: Approximately
5,076 MY 2016 BMW 7 Series passenger
cars, which were manufactured between
August 03, 2015, and November 20,
2015, are potentially involved.
III. Noncompliance: BMW states that
the rear license plate lamp may not fully
conform to paragraph S7.7.13.3 of
FMVSS No. 108 because it exceeds the
illumination ratio specified in that
paragraph.
IV. Rule Text: Paragraph S7.7.13.3 of
FMVSS No. 108 requires, in pertinent
part:
S7.7.13.3 The ratio of the average of the
two highest illumination values divided by
the average of the two lowest illumination
values must not exceed 20:1 for vehicles
other than motorcycles and motor driven
cycles.
V. Summary of BMW’s Petition: BMW
described the subject noncompliance
and stated its belief that the
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety for the following
reasons:
• The out-of-specification lamps
satisfy all other requirements of FMVSS
No. 108.
• The out-of-specification lamps only
deviate from paragraph 7.7.13.3 of
FMVSs No. 108 with regard to the
lamp’s illumination ratio and not the
lamp’s actual illumination.
• Personnel who participated in a
company assessment reported no
difference in their visual perception of
the simulated license plates that were
used as test specimens.
• BMW has not received any
customer complaints related to the
issue.

• BMW is not aware of any accidents
or injuries related to this issue.
• NHTSA has previously granted
petitions in which the illumination of
test points remains well above the
requirements.
• Vehicle production has been
corrected.
In support of its petition, BMW
submitted the following information
pertaining to laboratory testing and
analysis of the subject noncompliance:
(1) FMVSS No. 108 Lamp
Certification: BMW submitted a test
report dated April 7, 2015 pertaining to
lamps manufactured by U–SHIN Italia
S.p.A. (U–SHIN) prior to vehicle
production. According to BMW, this
report indicates that the lamp satisfies
FMVSS No. 108 requirements, as the
ratio of the average of the two highest
illumination values divided by the
average of the two lowest illumination
values is 14.1, and FMVSS No. 108
requires that the value be less than 20.
(2) Evaluation by Measurement
Equipment: Both BMW and U–SHIN
performed a number of tests of both inspecification and out-of-specification
lamps to assess the performance of the
subject lamps to the pertinent
requirement of FMVSS No. 108. BMW
submitted one representative test report
for each test condition. The results are
as follows:
—U–SHIN out-of-specification lamp
tests: These showed an illumination
ratio of 22.0. BMW noted, however,
that each of the eight (8) test points
satisfies the applicable FMVSS No.
108 photometric (illumination)
requirements.
—BMW out-of-specification lamp tests:
BMW performed its own out-ofspecification tests to verify U–SHIN’s
test results and to obtain results for
the lamps when equipped within a
vehicle. These showed an
illumination ratio of 22.2. BMW
noted, however, that each of the eight
(8) test points satisfies the applicable
FMVSS No. 108 photometric
(illumination) requirements.
—U–SHIN in-specification lamp tests:
These showed an illumination ratio of
13.8. As with the previously
described tests, BMW noted, however,
that each of the eight (8) test points
satisfies the applicable FMVSS No.
108 photometric (illumination)
requirements.
—BMW in-specification tests: BMW
performed their own in-specification
tests to verify U–SHIN’s test results
and to obtain results for the lamps
when equipped within a vehicle.
These showed an illumination ratio of
13.9. BMW again noted, however, that
