In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The information is used to determine if applicants satisfy requirements for renewing a launch license to protect the public from risks associated with reentry operations.

The FAA announces that it is reviewing a proposed Naples Airport Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) Update submitted by the Naples Airport Authority. This NCP Update was submitted subsequent to a determination by the FAA that the associated Noise Exposure Maps (NEMs) previously submitted for the Naples Airport, were prepared in compliance with applicable requirements. As required by title 14 Code of Federal Regulations part 150, the NCP Update will be approved or disapproved (other than the proposed use of flight procedures for noise control) on or before December 15, 2024. Finally, this notice announces that the proposed NCP Update will be available for public review and comment for 60 days from the publication date of this notice.

This action amends Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways V-66, V-155, V-157, V-258, V-266, V-454, and V- 469; and revokes VOR Federal Airway V-189 and Colored Federal Airway Green 13 (G-13) in the eastern United States. The FAA is taking this action due to the planned decommissioning of the Danville, VA (DAN), VOR; Franklin, VA (FKN), VOR/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC); Lawrenceville, VA (LVL), VORTAC; Wright Brothers, NC (RBX), VOR/ Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME); and Manteo, NC (MQI), Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB). This action is in support of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program.

PHMSA is amending the Hazardous Materials Regulations to require railroads that carry hazardous materials to generate in electronic form, maintain, and provide to first responders, emergency response officials, and law enforcement personnel, certain information regarding hazardous materials in rail transportation to enhance emergency response and investigative efforts. The amendments in this final rule address a safety recommendation of the National Transportation Safety Board and statutory mandates in The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act, as amended by the Infrastructure, Investment, and Jobs Act, and complement existing regulatory requirements pertaining to the generation, maintenance, and provision of similar information in hard copy form, as well as other hazard communication requirements.

This action updates five latitude/longitude points in the description of the East-West Corridor of the Valparaiso, Florida, Terminal Area. The changes are needed to reconcile the coordinates of U.S. maritime limits described in the Valparaiso Terminal Area description with those maritime limits published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) pursuant to its statutory authority. The FAA has developed these revised coordinates using updated digital data that more precisely define maritime limits and other geophysical features used in the boundary descriptions. This action is administrative and does not make substantive changes to the Valparaiso, Florida, Terminal Area.
