Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results. As a general matter, information collections will not result in any new system of records containing privacy information and will not ask questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Abstract Supersonic flight over land is currently restricted in the U.S. and many countries because sonic boom noise disturbs people on the ground and can potentially damage private property. NASA is researching the public acceptability of quiet commercial supersonic flight. As sufficient research is assembled, there is potential for a change in federal and international regulations. The 2018 Quiet Supersonic Flight Community Response Test will correlate human annoyance response with low level supersonic exposure in a community setting. The supersonic exposure will be generated with an F– 18 research aircraft performing a specialized maneuver. This effort is designed to evaluate remote aircraft basing and operations, community engagement, sonic boom measurements, PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20857 and community annoyance surveys. The effort will improve research methods for future community-scale response testing using a purpose-built, low boom flight demonstration aircraft (LBFD). NASA supported a prior risk reduction field test to evaluate data collection methods for low boom community response at Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB) in November 2011. The annoyance response findings from the study are not readily generalizable to a larger population, as the residents at EAFB are accustomed to hearing full level sonic booms on a routine basis. II.

This may include clarification of existing requirements and regulations. This may also include communicating and clarifying the NRC’s technical or policy positions on regulatory matters that have not been communicated to, or are not broadly understood by, the nuclear industry. Documents regarding Regulatory Issue Summaries historically have been published in the ‘‘Notices’’ section of the Federal Register. Under the Federal Register Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 15), the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register issues regulations regarding publishing documents in the Federal Register (see chapter I of title 1 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 CFR)). Based on these governing regulations, the OFR classifies agency documents published in the Federal Register in one of three categories: Rules and regulations, proposed rules, and notices. The regulation establishing document types is available in 1 CFR 5.9. In accordance with the OFR’s request that the NRC reclassify Regulatory Issue Summaries, these documents will be published in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ or ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    Supersonic flight over land is currently restricted in the U.S. and 
many countries because sonic boom noise disturbs people on the ground 
and can potentially damage private property. NASA is researching the 
public acceptability of quiet commercial supersonic flight. As 
sufficient research is assembled, there is potential for a change in 
federal and international regulations.
    The 2018 Quiet Supersonic Flight Community Response Test will 
correlate human annoyance response with low level supersonic exposure 
in a community setting. The supersonic exposure will be generated with 
an F-18 research aircraft performing a specialized maneuver. This 
effort is designed to evaluate remote aircraft basing and operations, 
community engagement, sonic boom measurements, and community annoyance 
surveys. The effort will improve research methods for future community-
scale response testing using a purpose-built, low boom flight 
demonstration aircraft (LBFD).
    NASA supported a prior risk reduction field test to evaluate data 
collection methods for low boom community response at Edwards Air Force 
Base (EAFB) in November 2011. The annoyance response findings from the 
study are not readily generalizable to a larger population, as the 
residents at EAFB are accustomed to hearing full level sonic booms on a 
routine basis.
