SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
In the July 17th notice, the Trade
Representative proposed modifying the
action in this investigation by
maintaining the original $34 billion
action and the proposed $16 billion
action, and by taking a further,
supplemental action. In particular, the

the proposed level of the additional
duty from 10 percent to 25 percent. This
additional 25 percent duty would be
applied to the proposed list of products
in the Annex to the July 17th notice.
The possible increase in the proposed
rate of the additional duty is intended

practices covered in the investigation.

provisions of the Aviation Safety and
Noise Abatement Act, (hereinafter
referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 CFR

the FAA determined that the noise

requirements. On August 1, 2018 the

Noise Compatibility Program. Five of
the 15 measures recommended in the

the purposes of Part 150. Three of the
approved recommendations were
approved as a continuation of a measure
approved in a prior ROA, one was
approved as voluntary, and one was
approved for the purposes of Part 150.
The attachment to this ROA provides a
summary of all of the recommendations
in the three NCPs (1985, 2004 and 2018)
for JAC along with FAA’s decision and
the status of each.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date
of the FAA’s approval of the Jackson
Hole Airport Noise Compatibility
Program is August 1, 2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Administration, Denver Airports District
Office, 26805 E 68th Ave., Suite 224,
Denver, CO 80249, telephone 303–342–
1261. Documents reflecting this FAA
action may be reviewed at this same
location.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA has
given its overall approval to the noise
compatibility program for the Jackson
Hole Airport, effective August 1, 2018.
Under section 47504 of the Act, an
airport operator who has previously
submitted a noise exposure map may
submit to the FAA a noise compatibility
program which sets forth the measures
taken or proposed by the airport
operator for the reduction of existing
non-compatible land uses and
prevention of additional non-compatible
land uses within the area covered by the
noise exposure maps. The Act requires
such programs to be developed in
consultation with interested and
affected parties including local
communities, government agencies,
airport users, and FAA personnel.
Each airport noise compatibility
program developed in accordance with
the Part 150 regulations is a local
program, not a Federal program. The
FAA does not substitute its judgment for
that of the airport proprietor with
respect to which measures should be
recommended for action. The FAA’s
approval or disapproval of Part 150
program recommendations is measured
according to the standards expressed in
Part 150 and the Act and is limited to
the following determinations:
a. The noise compatibility program
was developed in accordance with the
provisions and procedures of Part 150;
b. Program measures are reasonably
consistent with achieving the goals of
reducing existing non-compatible land
uses around the airport and preventing
the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses;
c. Program measures would not create
an undue burden on interstate or foreign
