Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 111 / Friday, June 11, 2021 / Notices
promulgated pursuant to section 47502
of the Act, and developed in
consultation with public agencies and
planning authorities in the area
surrounding the airport, state and
Federal agencies, interested and affected
parties in the local community, and
aeronautical users of the airport. In
addition, an airport operator that
submitted a noise exposure map, which
the FAA determined is compliant with
statutory and regulatory requirements,
may submit a noise compatibility
program for FAA approval that sets
forth measures the operator has taken or
proposes to take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the
introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
The FAA completed its review of the
noise exposure map and supporting
documentation submitted by the City of
San Antonio Aviation Department and
determined the noise exposure map and
accompanying documentation are in
compliance with applicable
requirements. The documentation that
constitutes the Noise Exposure Map
includes: Table 4–1 Annual Aircraft
Operations by Aircraft Category; Figure
2–3 Airport Diagram; Table 4–5 Aircraft
Arrival; Table 4–6 Departure Runway
Use; Figure 4–6 Modeled Fixed-Wing
Flight Tracks—Runways 31L and 31R;
Figure 4–7 Modeled Fixed-Wing Flight
Tracks—Runways 13L and 13R; Figure
4–8 Modeled Fixed-Wing Flight
Tracks—Runway 4; Figure 4–9 Modeled
Fixed-Wing Flight Tracks—Runway 22;
Figure 4–3 Nighttime Runway
Utilization—2021 Existing Conditions;
and Figure 4–5 Nighttime Runway
Utilization—2026 Future Conditions.
This determination is effective on June
1, 2021.
FAA’s determination on an airport’s
noise exposure map is limited to a
finding that the noise exposure map was
developed in accordance with the Act
and procedures contained in 14 CFR
part 150, Appendix A. FAA’s
acceptance of an NEM does not 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
within noise exposure contours
depicted on a noise exposure map, 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 14
CFR part 150 or through FAA review
and acceptance of a noise exposure
map. 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 a noise exposure map or
with those public and planning agencies
with which consultation is required
under section 47503 of the Act. The
FAA relied on the certification by the
airport operator, under of 14 CFR 150.21
that the required consultations and
opportunity for public review has been
accomplished during the development
of the noise exposure maps.
Copies of the noise exposure map and
supporting documentation and the
FAA’s evaluation of the noise exposure
maps are available for examination at
the following locations: Federal
Aviation Administration, Airports
Division, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort
Worth, Texas 76177, and San Antonio
International Airport, 9800 Airport
Boulevard, San Antonio, Texas 78216.

(ARPA) to primary airports to provide
relief from rent and minimum annual
guarantee (MAG) obligations to eligible
airport concessions. This information
collection permits FAA to confirm that
rent relief is consistent with the
requirements of CRRSA and ARPA. If
FAA does not receive emergency
approval, the economic recovery of the
nation’s air transport system may be
delayed because of the inability to of
airports to maintain continuity of
operations and assure the sustainability
of vital concession partners.
CRRSA directed FAA to provide $200
million in grants to primary airports for
the purpose of providing relief from rent
and MAG obligations to eligible airport
concessions. In addition, ARPA directed
FAA to provide $800 million in grants
to primary airports for the purpose of
providing relief from rent and MAG
obligations to eligible airport
concessions. FAA developed a
streamlined information collection to
confirm that airport sponsors and
concessions receiving rent relief met
CRRSA and ARPA eligibility and other
legal requirements. Specifically, airport
sponsors must provide relief on a
proportional basis and after December
27, 2020, and March 11, 2021,
respectively, as well as conduct
prioritized consultation with Airport
Concession Disadvantaged Business
Enterprises (ACDBEs).
The information will be collected

FRA-certified positive train control
(PTC) systems, FRA is publishing this
notice and inviting public comment on
railroads’ RFAs to their PTCSPs.
DATES: FRA will consider comments
received by June 21, 2021. FRA may
consider comments received after that
date to the extent practicable and
without delaying implementation of
valuable or necessary modifications to
PTC systems.
ADDRESSES:

certain changes to an FRA-certified PTC
system or the associated FRA-approved
PTCSP, a host railroad must submit, and
obtain FRA’s approval of, an RFA to its
PTCSP under Title 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Section 236.1021.
Under 49 CFR 236.1021(e), FRA’s
regulations provide that FRA will
publish a notice in the Federal Register
and invite public comment in
accordance with 49 CFR part 211, if an
RFA includes a request for approval of
a material modification of a signal and
train control system. Accordingly, this
notice informs the public that host
railroads’ recent RFAs to their PTCSPs
are available in their respective public
PTC dockets, and this notice provides
an opportunity for public comment on
these RFAs.
On May 26, 2021, the following three
host railroads jointly submitted an RFA
to their respective PTCSPs for their
Interoperable Electronic Train

of railroads’ RFAs, FRA will consider
any comments or data submitted within
the timeline specified in this notice and
to the extent practicable, without
delaying implementation of valuable or
necessary modifications to PTC systems.
See 49 CFR 236.1021; see also 49 CFR
