The specific documentation determined to constitute the NEMs includes Exhibit NEM–1, ‘‘2019 Existing Condition Noise Exposure Map’’ and Exhibit NEM–2 and ‘‘2027 Forecast Noise Exposure Map’’, which addressed the current and forecast NEM graphics requirements and all other narrative, graphic or tabular representations of the data required by appendix A in 14 CFR part 150 and 49 U.S.C. 47503 and 47506. The FAA completed its review of the NEMs and supporting documentation and determined the NEMs comply with the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. This determination is effective on March 31, 2023. FAA’s determinations for this NEM submitted by Hawaii Department of Transportation is limited to a finding that the maps were developed in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47503 and the procedures in appendix A of 14 CFR part 150. FAA’s determination does not constitute approval of the Hawaii Department of Transportation data, information or plans, or constitute 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 an NEM it should be noted 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 NEMs to resolve questions concerning, for example, which properties should be covered by the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47506. These functions are inseparable from the 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’s review of NEMs. Therefore, the responsibility for the detailed overlaying of noise exposure contours onto the map depicting properties on the surface rests exclusively with the Hawaii Department of Transportation data that submitted the NEMs or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which consultation is required. The FAA relied on the certification by the Hawaii Department of Transportation this required consultation has been accomplished per 14 CFR 150.21 and 49 U.S.C. 47503. 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: VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:13 Apr 05, 2023 Jkt 259001 Federal Aviation Administration, Honolulu Airports District Office, 300 Ala Moana Boulevard, Room 7–128, Honolulu, Hawaii, 96850.

To be sure someone is there to help you, VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:13 Apr 05, 2023 Jkt 259001 B. Privacy Act In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(6), DOT solicits comments from the public on the exemption request. 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 (Federal Docket Management System), which can be reviewed at https://www.transportation.gov/ individuals/privacy/privacy-act-systemrecords-notices, the comments are searchable by the name of the submitter. II. Background FMCSA received applications from 132 individuals who requested an exemption from the FMCSRs prohibiting persons with a clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition that is likely to cause a loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to operate a CMV from operating CMVs in interstate commerce. FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and concluded that granting these exemptions would not provide a level of safety that would be equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that would be obtained by complying with § 391.41(b)(8). III. Basis for Exemption Determination Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such exemption. The statute also allows the Agency to renew exemptions at the end of the 5-year period. FMCSA grants medical exemptions from the FMCSRs for a 2year period to align with the maximum duration of a driver’s medical certification. The Agency’s decision regarding these exemption applications is based on the eligibility criteria, the terms and conditions for Federal exemptions, and an individualized assessment of each applicant’s medical information provided by the applicant. IV. Conclusion The Agency has determined that these applicants do not satisfy the eligibility criteria or meet the terms and conditions of the Federal exemption and granting these exemptions would not provide a level of safety that would be equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that would be obtained by PO 00000 Frm 00140 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20605 complying with § 391.41(b)(8). Therefore, the 132 applicants in this notice have been denied exemptions from the physical qualification standards in § 391.41(b)(8). Each applicant has, prior to this notice, received a letter of final disposition regarding his/her exemption request. Those decision letters fully outlined the basis for the denial and constitute final action by the Agency. This notice summarizes the Agency’s recent denials as required under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) by periodically publishing names and reasons for denial. The following 132 applicants do not meet the minimum time requirement for being seizure-free, either on or off of anti-seizure medication: Gary Abels (MN) Zachary Adams (MS) William Allen (MI) Evan Bailey (CA) Sherman Ballard (FL) Eduardo Barboza (CA) Michael Bartelt (WI) Mark Bartlebaugh (TN) Austin Baze (CA) Duncan Bennett (TN) Blake Bloddington (KS) Gary Bohl (WY) Alber Brown (GA) Kenneth Brown (IN) Dwight Bryson (VA) Steven Bucklin (IL) Rashawn Buggs (OH) Walter Burks (MS) Todd Burrey (OH) Galen Butcher (WA) Lydia Capelle (WY) Pietro Capobianco (NJ) Robert Carels (PA) William Carol III (MD) Perry Chase (VT) Michael Curtin (NY) Charles Curtis (NC) Wade Davis (NC) Jean Daza (NJ) Aristedes Debarros (RI) Michael Di Leonard (NY) Joseph S.
