SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds that the noise exposure maps submitted for Shreveport Regional Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of Part 150, effective March 23, 2018. Under 49 U.S.C. 47503 of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter referred to amozie on DSK30RV082PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:33 Apr 04, 2018 Jkt 244001 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 Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) 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. The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure maps and accompanying documentation submitted by Shreveport Airport Authority. The documentation that constitutes the ‘‘noise exposure maps’’ as defined in section 150.7 of Part 150 includes: Chapters 2 and 3 of ‘‘14 CFR Pat 150 Noise Exposure Maps, October 2015’’; Exhibit 1 (2014 Noise Exposure Map), Exhibit 2 (2020 Noise Exposure Map), Exhibit 2–1 (Shreveport Regional Airport and Immediate Environs), Exhibit 2–1 (Shreveport Regional Airport Aerial View), Exhibit 2–3 (Instrument Landing System/Localizer Approaches), Exhibit 2–4 (Area Navigation Approaches), Exhibit 3–1 (Runway 6 Arrival Flight Tracks), Exhibit 3–2 (Runway 6 Departure Flight Tracks), Exhibit 3–3 (Runway 14 Arrival Flight Tracks), Exhibit 3–4 (Runway 14 Departure Flight Tracks), Exhibit 3–5 (Runway 24 Arrival Flight Tracks), Exhibit 3–6 (Runway 24 Departure Flight Tracks), Exhibit 3–7 (Runway 32 Arrival Flight Tracks), Exhibit 3–8 (Runway 32 Departure Flight Tracks), Exhibit 3–9 (Touch and Go Flight Tracks), Exhibit 3–10 (Shreveport Regional Airport Aircraft Maintenance Runup Areas, Exhibit 3–11 (2014 Noise Exposure), Exhibit 3–12 (2020 Forecast Noise Exposure), Exhibit 3–13 (Comparison of 2004 and 2014 Noise Exposure), Exhibit 3–14 (Comparative Noise Footprints for Six Most Common Aircraft Types—2004 and 2014); Table 2–1 (Current and Recommended Optimum Runway Lengths), Table 2–2 (Summary of Historical and Forecast Passengers), Table 2–3 (Summary of Historical and Forecast Air Cargo), PO 00000 Frm 00094 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 14715 Table 2–4 (Historical and Forecast Aircraft Operations), Table 2–5 (Instrument Approach Procedures at Shreveport Regional Airport), Table 3– 1 (Annual Aircraft Operations by Month—2014), Table 3–2 (Annual Aircraft Operations by INM Aircraft Type, User Category—2014), Table 3–3 (Calculation of Normalization Factors for Deriving Annual Operations by Aircraft Type), Table 3–4 (Aircraft Operations by Aircraft Category, Operation Type, and Time of Day— 2014), Table 3–5 (Average Annual Day Aircraft Operations by INM Aircraft Type and Time of Day, Itinerant Operations—2014), Table 3–6 (Average Annual Day Aircraft Operations by INM Aircraft Type and Time of Day, Local Operations—2014), Table 3–7 (Arrival Runway Use Percentages—2014), Table 3–8 (Departure Runway Use Percentages—2014), Table 3–9 (Touch and Go Runway Use Percentages— 2014), Table 3–10 (INM Departure Stage Lengths Categories), Table 3–11 (Aircraft Flight Profile Stage Length Percentages by INM Aircraft Type), Table 3–12 (Engine Maintenance Runup Data Used for Noise Modeling—2014), Table 3–13 (Annual Operations Summary—2020), Table 3–14 (Activity Percentage by Aircraft Category, Operation Type, and Time of Day— 2020), Table 3–15 (Annual Aircraft Operations by Aircraft Category, Operation Type, and Time of Day— 2020), Table 3–16 (Average Annual Day Aircraft Operations by INM Aircraft Type and Time of Day, Itinerant Operations—2020), Table 3–17 (Average Annual Day Aircraft Operations by INM Aircraft Type and Time of Day, Local Operations—2020), Table 3–18 (Departure Stage Length Proportions by Aircraft Category—2020), Table 3–19 (Engine Maintenance Runup Data Used for Noise Modeling—2020). The FAA has determined that these noise exposure maps and accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on March 23, 2018. 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 FAR 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 E:\FR\FM\05APN1.SGM 05APN1 14716 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 66 / Thursday, April 5, 2018 / Notices 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 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 FAR Part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has been accomplished. Copies of the full noise exposure map documentation and of the FAA’s evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the following locations: Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, Texas; Henry L.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT) is the lead agency. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration and U.S. Air Force are cooperating agencies. The FAA is evaluating SpaceX’s proposal to conduct Dragon landings in the Gulf of Mexico, which would require the FAA to issue a reentry license. SpaceX has two versions of Dragon: Dragon-1 and Dragon-2. Dragon1 is used for cargo missions to the International Space Station (ISS). SpaceX intends that Dragon-2 will eventually be used to transport astronauts to the ISS. Under the Proposed Action, the FAA would issue a reentry license to SpaceX, which would authorize SpaceX to conduct up to six Dragon landing operations per year in the Gulf of Mexico. Each landing operation would include orbital reentry, splashdown, and recovery. Alternatives under consideration include the Proposed Action and the No Action Alternative. Under the No Action Alternative, the FAA would not issue a reentry license to SpaceX for Dragon reentry and splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. SpaceX would continue to conduct Dragon reentries and splashdowns in the Pacific Ocean authorized under an FAA reentry license. The Draft EA evaluates the potential environmental impacts from the Proposed Action and No Action Alternative on air quality; climate; noise SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and noise-compatible land use; Department of Transportation Act, section 4(f); biological resources (including aquatic plants and animals and special status species); coastal resources; water resources; natural resources and energy supply; and hazardous materials, solid waste, and pollution prevention.
