Final General Conformity Determination for Proposed Operations of 
Southwest Airlines Co. at Denver International Airport, Denver, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Final General Conformity 
Determination.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 
1990, the FAA announces the availability of the Final General 
Conformity Determination for Operations of Southwest Airlines Co. 
(Southwest) at Denver International Airport (DEN). FAA has determined 
that emissions from Southwest's operations at DEN conform to the 
Colorado State Implementation Plan (SIP).
    In accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 93.156 (b), the Draft 
Conformity Determination, Proposed Operations of Southwest Airlines Co. 
at Denver International Airport, Denver, CO was made available for 
public review beginning April 21, 2006. Notice of the draft 
determination was published in the Rocky Mountain News, Denver, 
Colorado on April 21, 2006, and copies of the draft determination were 
made available at DEN. The Notice of Draft General Conformity 
Determination was published in the Federal 1Register on April 27, 2006 
(71 FR 24903).
    No comments were submitted during the public comment period, which 
ended on May 30, 2006. Consequently, the Final General Conformity 
Determination consists of the Draft General Conformity Determination, 
with the following typographical corrections. The corrections are 
needed to clarify terms describing aircraft operations and to correct 
the reference to the maximum foreseeable aircraft activity used to 
predict aircraft emissions, as documented in Table 1.
    1. Page 24903, last sentence on this page under SUPPLEMENTARY 
INFORMATION shall be revised to read: ``At that time Southwest 
indicated an interest in increasing service to as many as 50 or 60 
daily landing/take-off cycles (LTOs) at DEN, but agreed to maintain * * 
*''
    2. Page 24904, second sentence of the last paragraph under 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION shall be revised to read: ``This General 
Conformity Determination addresses FAA's proposed Federal action to 
amend

[[Page 37637]]

Southwest's operation specifications (OpSpecs) to accommodate future 
aircraft activity as high as 60 daily LTOs at DEN * * *''
    3. Page 24904, fourth sentence of the 1st paragraph under Aircraft 
and Supporting Equipment Emissions shall be revised to read: ``Under 
the Proposed Action scenario, aircraft emissions were quantified based 
on this maximum foreseeable level and conservatively assumed to occur 
every day of the year for a total of 21,900 LTOs per year.''


    Note: The above corrections do not impact the analysis or the 
results. This Notice of Availability of this Final General 
Conformity determination will also be published in the Rocky 
Mountain News, Denver, Colorado. Also, the Final Conformity 
Determination will be available at DEN.
