The formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, was initiated on July 15, 2022. Notice of the intent to review the NCP was published in the Federal Register on July 21, 2022 (Notice of Receipt and Request for Review of Noise Compatibility Program, volume 87, Federal Register, pages 43594–5, July 21, 2022). That Federal Register Notice also announced the start of a 60-day period of public review for the NCP documentation. The FAA received no comments from interested parties during the public review period. The TEB proposed NCP is comprised of actions designed for phased implementation by airport management and adjacent jurisdictions within the next one to five years. It was requested that the FAA evaluate and approve this material as a noise compatibility program as described in 49 U.S.C. 47504. The FAA began its review of the program on July 15, 2022 and was required by a provision of 49 U.S.C. 47504 to approve or disapprove the program within 180 days, other than the use of new or modified flight procedures for noise control. Failure to approve or disapprove such program within the 180-day period shall be deemed an approval of such program. The submitted program contained 33 proposed measures to minimize impacts of aviation noise on and off the airport. The FAA completed its review and determined that the procedural and substantive requirements of the 49 U.S.C. 47504 and 14 CFR part 150 were satisfied. A Record of Approval for the overall program was issued by the FAA, effective January 10, 2023.

The relevant FRA Docket Number is FRA– 2017–0109.2 Specifically, PATH seeks to extend its waiver of compliance from a portion of 49 CFR 229.123, Emergency roof access, which requires passenger cars ordered on or after April 1, 2009, or placed in service for the first time on or after April 1, 2011, to have two emergency roof access locations. Alternatively, PATH requests continued approval to install a single emergency roof access location on any newly ordered passenger cars. In 1 PATH submitted supplemental information to its October 6, 2022, petition, by letter dated November 29, 2022. 2 Additional relief applicable to this equipment (pertaining to requirements for each lead locomotive to be equipped with a pilot, snowplow, or end plate across both rails) may be found in Docket Number FRA–2008–0135. PO 00000 Frm 00155 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2753 support of its request, PATH states that its PA–5 vehicles are of a ‘‘unique nature’’ and PATH’s operations are ‘‘more representative of an inter-urban rapid transit system.’’ The supplemental information further adds that the vehicles have ‘‘multiple emergency exits on each side . . . that can be opened by the passengers or first responders in the event of an emergency.’’ A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications concerning the petition, is available for review online at www.regulations.gov. Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party desires an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for their request. All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the appropriate docket number and may be submitted at https:// www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Communications received by March 20, 2023 will be considered by FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic form of any written communications and comments received into any of our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or signing the document, if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) solicits comments from the public to better inform its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit, including any personal information the commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of records notice (DOT/ALL– 14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at https://www.transportation.gov/privacy.
