Federal Aviation Administration

[Docket Number: FAA-2024-2081]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; 
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Airport Noise 
Compatibility Planning

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) invites public comments about our 
intention to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) 
approval to renew an information collection. The collection involves 
information on voluntary airport noise compatibility programs. The 
information to be collected is necessary because noise compatibility 
program measures are eligible for Federal grants in-aid if they are 
provided to FAA for review and approval in advance. The respondents are 
airport sponsors/operators that voluntarily submit noise exposure maps 
and noise compatibility programs to the FAA for review and approval.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by October 4, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of 
Transportation/FAA. Comments can be submitted by electronic mail to 
[email protected] or by the following additional options:
    By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov (Enter docket number into 
search field).
    By mail to: The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th 
Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or
    By fax to: 202-395-6974.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Staehle by electronic mail at: 
[email protected] or by phone at: 202-267-7935.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of

information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the accuracy of the 
estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the quality, utility and 
clarity of the information collection; and (d) ways that the burden 
could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected 
information. The agency will summarize and/or include your comments in 
the request for OMB's clearance of this information collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0517.
    Title: Airport Noise Compatibility Planning.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an Information Collection.
    Background: The voluntarily submitted information from the current 
collection process pursuant to Tile 14 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR) part 150, (e.g., airport noise exposure maps and airport noise 
compatibility programs, or their revisions) is used by the FAA to 
conduct reviews of the submissions to determine if an airport sponsor's 
noise compatibility program is eligible for Federal grant funds. If 
airport sponsors did not voluntarily submit noise exposure maps and 
noise compatibility programs for FAA review and approval, the airport 
sponsor would not be eligible for the set aside of discretionary grant 
funds.
    Respondents: Approximately 15 airport sponsors.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 2,080 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 31,200 hours.

    Issued in: Washington, DC, July 30, 2024.

Environmental Protection Specialist, Office of Airports, Planning and 
Environmental Division, APP-400.
