Announcement of Receipt of Notice To Withdraw Proposed 
Restriction on Operations of Stage 2 Aircraft at San Francisco 
International Airport, San Francisco, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Withdrawal of Proposed Restriction on Stage 2 
Operations.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been notified by 
San Francisco International Airport (SFO), that it has withdrawn its 
proposed restriction on the operation of Stage 2 aircraft operations. 
The proposed restriction was announced in the Federal Register on 
September 28, 1998. In that notice SFO proposed to amend its current 
Noise Abatement Regulation 4(C), which currently restricts operation of 
Stage 2 aircraft between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., locally, and 
requires operators to agree to adhere to SFO's preferential runway use 
program in order to operate aircraft during these hours. The proposed 
restriction also expanded the current restriction on nighttime 
operation of Stage 2 aircraft by (1) extending the restricted hours to 
7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. local time, (2) requiring operators to agree to 
adhere to SFO's preferential runway use program in order to operate 
aircraft during those hours, and (3) eliminating the existing exemption 
from restriction of operations between the hour of 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 
a.m. local time, for Stage 2 aircraft operators that agree to adhere to 
SFO's preferential runway use program.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The San Francisco International Airport has provided 
notice of the withdrawal of the proposed restriction effective December 
16, 1998.
