DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration


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, FAA 
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information 
collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was 
published on January 28, 2013, vol. 78, no. 18, page 5857. The 
respondents are those airport operators voluntarily submitting noise 
exposure maps and noise compatibility programs to the FAA for review 
and approval.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by May 13, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at (405) 954-9362, or by 
email at: Kathy.A.DePaepe@faa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    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 
CFR Part 150 collection, 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 operators did not voluntarily submit noise exposure maps and 
noise compatibility programs for FAA review and approval, the airport 
operator would not be eligible for the set aside of discretionary grant 
funds.
    Respondents: Approximately 15 airport operators.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 3882.6 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 56,160 hours.

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, and sent via electronic mail to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov, or faxed to (202) 395-6974, or mailed to the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and 
Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 
20503.
    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.
