Notice of Availability for the Final Air Quality General 
Conformity Determination (Final GCD) for Proposed Operations of Lynx 
Aviation, Inc. at Denver International Airport, Denver, CO

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

ACTION: Notice of availability of the Final Air Quality 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 Proposed Operations of Lynx Aviation, Inc. 
(Lynx), at Denver International Airport (DEN). FAA has determined that 
emissions from Lynx's operations at DEN conform to the applicable 
Colorado State Implementation Plans (SIPs).
    In accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR Sec.  93.156(b), FAA 
made the Draft Air Quality General Conformity Determination (Draft GCD) 
for Proposed Operations of Lynx Aviation, Inc., at Denver International 
Airport, Denver, CO available for public review beginning on July 20, 
2007. FAA published notice of the draft determination in the ``Rocky 
Mountain News,'' Denver, Colorado on July 20 and 21, 2007 and DEN made 
copies of the draft determination available at the airport. FAA 
published the Notice of Availability and Public Comment Period for the 
Draft General Conformity Determination in the Federal Register on July 
20, 2007 (72 FR 39877).
    FAA received one comment during the public comment period, which 
ended on August 20, 2007. The commenter stated that jet aviation 
activity results in excessive pollution and that there should be less 
aviation activity in general in the United States. The commenter did 
not provide comments specific to the Draft General Conformity 
Determination; therefore, a response to the comment is not necessary.
    Consequently, the Final General Conformity Determination consists 
of the Draft General Conformity Determination, with two typographical 
corrections.
    1. Page 1, first sentence in the first paragraph under Introduction 
was revised to read: ``Lynx Aviation, Inc. (Lynx Aviation) has 
announced its

[[Page 54968]]

interest in initiating scheduled service at Denver International 
Airport (DEN), now commencing in October 2007.''
    2. Page 3, first sentence in the second paragraph under Aircraft 
and Supportng Equipment Emissions was revised to read: ``Under the 
Proposed Action alternative, Lynx Aviation intends to introduce service 
at DEN on October 1, 2007.''

    Note: The above corrections do not impact the analysis or the 
results. FAA will also publish this Notice of Availability for the 
Final General Conformity Determination in the ``Rocky Mountain 
News,'' Denver, Colorado.
