Federal Aviation Administration


Announcement of Receipt of Notice of Proposed Restriction on 
Stage 2 Operations at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, 
Minneapolis, MN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been notified by 
the Metropolitan Airports Commission that it proposes ``an ordinance to 
promote and conserve the public safety, health, peace, convenience and 
welfare; to regulate aircraft noise at Minneapolis-St. Paul 
International Airport by prohibiting operation of aircraft exceeding 
the noise limits established under federal law for Stage 3 aircraft as 
of January 1, 2000, and prescribing the penalty for violation 
thereof.''
    The Metropolitan Airports Commission has provided notice of the 
proposed restriction and an opportunity to comment to the public 
pursuant to the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 and Federal 
Aviation Regulations, part 161. Notice of the ordinance and 
availability of the analysis was locally published by the Metropolitan 
Airports Commission on May 4 and 5, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This Federal notice is given in accordance with Federal 
Aviation Regulations, Part 161, Sec. 161.203(e). Because of the late 
publication of this announcement, the FAA has requested, and the 
Metropolitan Airports Commission has agreed, to extend the comment 
period. The extended comment period ends at 5 pm. on June 9, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information about this 
proposal and for copies of the complete text of the proposed 
restriction, and copies of the supporting analysis, contact Rebecca

Email: ([email protected]). These documents are also available for 
public inspection at the above address. The comment period, which 
previously ended on May 21, 1999, has been extended to June 9, 1999.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on May 19, 1999.
