SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Yale-Mayo Clinic Centers of Excellence in Regulatory Science and
Innovation (CERSI) B12 Pediatric Device Survey

OMB Control Number 0910-NEW

    Despite numerous legislative, regulatory, and scientific efforts,
there has been little change in the number of devices approved for use
in pediatric patients. This has often led to devices being adapted for
use in children without an appropriate level of evidence, exposing them
to inconsistent benefit risk profiles. This health inequity highlights
the need for devices that are designed, evaluated, and labelled for
pediatric patients. To address these challenges, this collection is
being done to survey industry and other key stakeholders in the medical
device ecosystem to identify the barriers that prevent product
developers from entering the pediatric device market as well as the
proper incentives that would motivate them to innovate and sustain
within this market.
    This survey is a followup to the public meeting that FDA held in
August 2018, entitled ``Pediatric Medical Device Development.'' As
mandated by section 502(d) of the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017 (Pub.
L. 115-52), the meeting was convened to address several topics,
including consideration of ways to: (1) increase FDA assistance to
medical device manufacturers in developing devices for pediatric
populations that are approved or cleared, and labeled, for their use
and (2) identify current barriers to pediatric device development and
incentives to address such barriers.
    Feedback from this meeting clarified the need to better understand
factors influencing suboptimal engagement and participation by diverse
innovators in the pediatric medical device space. Information garnered
from this survey may help inform strategic plans to optimize existing
programs for the needs of pediatric medical device innovators and
develop new programs that will support sustained development in this
space.
    In the Federal Register of September 23, 2022 (87 FR 58106), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as a health care professional, and individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

As a fifteen year former smoker, now electronic cigarette user, I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they saved my life. I wish to provide you with my personal story, as well as science- and evidence-based responses to your questions so that you can take my comment into account. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Saab AB, Support and Services (Formerly
Known as Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2020-07-17, which applies to all Saab AB, Support and Services Model
SAAB 2000 airplanes. AD 2020-07-17 requires revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD
2020-07-17, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would require
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as
specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which
is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is proposing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by November
18, 2021.

rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2020-07-17, Amendment 39-19896 (85 FR 21764,
April 20, 2020) (AD 2020-07-17), for all Saab AB, Support and Services
Model SAAB 2000 airplanes. AD 2020-07-17 corresponds to EASA AD 2019-
0263, dated October 22, 2019 (EASA AD 2019-0263). AD 2020-07-17
requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations. The FAA

issued AD 2020-07-17 to address, among other things, fatigue cracking
of principal structural elements (PSEs) and corrosion prevention and
control. This unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in
reduced structural integrity of a PSE, and lead to loss of control of
the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2020-07-17 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2020-07-17, the FAA has determined that new
or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary, and
revised (fatigue) life limits for various parts are also necessary.
    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0132, dated May 25, 2021 (EASA
AD 2021-0132) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for all Saab AB, Support and Services Model SAAB 2000 airplanes. EASA
AD 2021-0132 superseded EASA AD 2019-0263.
    This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address, among other things, fatigue cracking of
PSEs and corrosion prevention and control. This unsafe condition, if
not addressed, could result in reduced structural integrity of a PSE,
and lead to loss of control of the airplane. See the MCAI for
additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0132 describes new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations for safe life limits, structural limitation items, and fuel
airworthiness items, as well as certification maintenance requirements.
    This AD would also require EASA AD 2019-0263, which the Director of
the Federal Register approved for incorporation by reference as of May
26, 2020 (85 FR 21764, April 20, 2020).
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD because the FAA has
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2020-07-17.
This proposed AD would also require revising the existing maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations, which are specified in EASA AD
2021-0132 described previously, as incorporated by reference. Revising
the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations required
by this AD terminates the requirements of AD 2020-07-17. Any
differences with EASA AD 2021-0132 are identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this AD.
    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections) and
Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance
with these actions and CDCCLs is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance according to paragraph
(m)(1) of this proposed AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2021-0132 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
EASA AD 2021-0132 in its entirety through that incorporation, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this proposed AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading
of a particular section in EASA AD 2021-0132 does not mean that
operators need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD
requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance times,''
compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section
titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in EASA AD 2021-
0132. Service information required by EASA AD 2021-0132 for compliance
will be available at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and
locating Docket No. FAA-2021-0841 after the FAA final rule is
published.

Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using the New Process

    The FAA's process of incorporating by reference MCAI ADs as the
primary source of information for compliance with corresponding FAA ADs
has been limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily those with service
bulletins as the primary source of information for accomplishing the
actions required by the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now expanding the
process to include MCAI ADs that require a change to airworthiness
limitation documents, such as airworthiness limitation sections.
    For these ADs that incorporate by reference an MCAI AD that changes
airworthiness limitations, the FAA requirements are unchanged.
Operators must revise the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in the new
airworthiness limitation document. The airworthiness limitations must
be followed according to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e).
    The previous format of the airworthiness limitation ADs included a
paragraph that specified that no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections), intervals, or CDCCLs may be used unless the actions,
intervals, and CDCCLs are approved as an alternative method of
compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the procedures specified in the
AMOCs paragraph under ``Other FAA Provisions.'' This new format
includes a ``New Provisions for Alternative Actions, Intervals, and
CDCCLs'' paragraph that does not specifically refer to AMOCs, but
operators may still request an AMOC to use an alternative action,
interval, or CDCCL.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 9 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this
proposed AD:
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from

AD 2020-07-17 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane
estimate. The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new
proposed maintenance/inspection program revision to be $7,650 (90 work-
hours x $85 per work-hour).

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13   [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by:
0
a. Removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-07-17, Amendment 39-19896
(85 FR 21764, April 20, 2020); and
0
b. Adding the following new AD:

Saab AB, Support and Services (Formerly Known as Saab AB, Saab
Aeronautics): Docket No. FAA-2021-0841; Project Identifier MCAI-
2021-00622-T.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive by
November 18, 2021.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2020-07-17, Amendment 39-19896 (85 FR 21764,
April 20, 2020) (AD 2020-07-17).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Saab AB, Support and Services Model SAAB
2000 airplanes, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 05, Time Limits/

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address, among other things, fatigue cracking of
principal structural elements (PSEs) and corrosion prevention and
control. This unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in
reduced structural integrity of a PSE, and lead to loss of control
of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Retained Maintenance or Inspection Program Revision, With No
Changes

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD
2020-07-17, with no changes. Except as specified in paragraph (h) of
this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times
specified in, and in accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA) AD 2019-0263, dated October 22, 2019 (EASA AD 2019-

required by paragraph (j) of this AD terminates the requirements of
this paragraph.

(h) Retained Exceptions to EASA AD 2019-0263, With Revised Exceptions

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD
2020-07-17, with revised exceptions.
    (1) The requirements specified in paragraphs (1) and (2) of EASA
AD 2019-0263 do not apply to this AD.
    (2) Paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2019-0263 specifies revising ``the
approved AMP [aircraft maintenance program]'' within 12 months after
its effective date, but this AD requires revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the
``limitations, tasks and associated thresholds and intervals''
specified in paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2019-0263 within 90 days after
May 26, 2020 (the effective date of AD 2020-07-17).
    (3) The initial compliance time for doing the tasks specified in
paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2019-0263 is at the applicable ``associated
thresholds'' specified in paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2019-0263, or
within 90 days after May 26, 2020 (the effective date of AD 2020-07-
17), whichever occurs later.
    (4) The provisions specified in paragraphs (4) and (5) of EASA
AD 2019-0263 do not apply to this AD.
    (5) The ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD 2019-0263 does not apply
to this AD.

Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs), With a New
Exception

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (i) of AD
2020-07-17, with a new exception. Except as required by paragraph
(j) of this AD, after the maintenance or inspection program has been
revised as required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative
actions (e.g., inspections), intervals, and CDCCLs are allowed
unless they are approved as specified in the provisions of the
``Ref. Publications'' section of EASA AD 2019-0263.

(j) New Maintenance or Inspection Program Revision

International Airport; the Corpus Christi VORTAC; Aransas County
Airport, Rockport, TX; Nueces County Airport, Robstown, TX; Dallas/Fort
Worth International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth, TX; McKinney National
Airport, McKinney, TX; Lancaster Airport; Bourland Field Airport, Fort
Worth, TX; and Jasper County-Bell Field would be adjusted to coincide
with the FAA's aeronautical database. Also, the names of McCampbell-
Porter Airport (formerly T.P. McCampbell Airport); McKinney National
Airport (formerly Collin County Regional Airport); and Ralph M. Hall/
Rockwall Municipal Airport (formerly Rockwall Municipal Airport) would
be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective
September 15, 2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying:
    Class D airspace within a 4.1-mile radius (reduced from a 5-mile
radius) of Georgetown Municipal Airport, Georgetown, TX;
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Corpus Christi, TX; Within a 6.6-mile radius (reduced from a 7.6-
mile radius) of Aransas County Airport, Rockport, TX, with extensions
to the north of the airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 10 miles, to
the southeast of the airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 10 miles, to
the south of the airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 10 miles, and to
the northwest of the airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 10 miles, and
updating the geographic coordinates of Corpus Christi International
Airport (also located in Class E extension airspace), Nueces County
Airport, Robstown, TX, and the name of McCampbell-Porter Airport
(formerly T.P. McCampbell Airport) to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database. The Corpus Christi VORTAC listed for Sinton, TX,
also would have geographic coordinates updated.
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Dallas/Fort Worth, TX;
    Within a 6.6-mile radius (increased from a 6.5-mile radius) of the
Lancaster Airport, Lancaster, TX, with an extension southeast of the
airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 9.2 miles and updating the
geographic coordinates of the airport;
    By updating the geographic coordinates of Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport, McKinney National Airport, and Bourland Field
Airport, and the name of McKinney National Airport (formerly Collin
County Regional Airport) and Ralph M. Hall/Rockwall Municipal Airport
(formerly Rockwall Municipal Airport) to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database;
    By removing the 10.4-mile segment extending from the 6.6-mile
radius of Gainesville Municipal Airport, Gainesville, TX;
    Within a 6.6-mile radius (increased from a 6.5-mile radius) of
Georgetown Municipal Airport, Georgetown, TX, with extensions to the
northwest of the airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 9.8 miles, and to
the north of the airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 10.4 miles.
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
at

Hebbronville, TX; Within a 6.5-mile radius (reduced from a 6.9-mile
radius) of O.S. Wyatt Airport, Realitos, TX;
    And within a 6.6-mile radius (increased from a 6.5-mile radius) of
Jasper County-Bell Field, Jasper, TX, with an extension to the north of
the airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 6.7 miles, and updating the
geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of
NDBs, cancellation of NDB approaches, and implementation of RNAV
procedures, and would enhance the safety and management of the standard
instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at these airports.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph
5000, 6002, 6003, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9Z, dated
August 6, 2015, and effective September 15, 2015, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed
in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

``Toxicological Reviews of Cyanobacterial Toxins: Anatoxin-a,
Cylindrospermopsin and Microcystins LR, RR, YR and LA'' (NCEA-C-1743,
NCEA-C-1763 and NCEA-C-1765). Cyanobacteria, commonly referred to as
blue-green algae, are found in freshwater, estuarine and marine
environments. Cyanobacteria, other freshwater algae, and their toxins
are included as microbial contaminants on EPA's Office of Water (OW)
Contaminant Candidate List (CCL). These draft assessments discuss
potential human health effects of exposure to these cyanobacterial
toxins for four durations--acute, short-term, subchronic and chronic--
focusing on noncancer effects due to oral exposure.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Proposed Airport Access Restriction and Opportunity for
Public Comment

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

ACTION: Notice; Request for Comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (hereinafter
referred to as ``the Act'' or ``ANCA'') provides notice, review, and
approval requirements for airports seeking to impose noise or access
restrictions on Stage 3 aircraft operations that become effective after
October 1, 1990. 49 U.S.C. 47521 et seq. This notice is issued pursuant
to ANCA and 14 CFR 161.315(b).
    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it has
determined the application for an airport noise and access restriction
submitted by the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) for Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX) under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47524 of
the ANCA, and 14 CFR part 161, to be complete. The LAWA application
seeks approval to adopt a new ordinance that would require all aircraft
operators to comply with prevailing flows whenever LAX is in Over-Ocean
or Westerly Operations from midnight to 6:30 a.m. The determination of
completeness is not an approval or disapproval of the proposed airport
access restriction. FAA will review the application, public comments,
and any other information obtained under Sec.  161.137(b) and issue a
decision approving or disapproving the proposed restriction. FAA
intends to issue its decision by November 8, 2014.
    Public Comments: Interested parties are invited to file comments on
the application. Comments are due 30 days after the publication of this
notice in the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Byers, Planning and
Environmental Division, APP-400, 800 Independence Avenue SW.,
Washington DC 20591.
    Email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments on the application for
the proposed noise and access restriction, including the environmental
analysis, should be submitted in writing to this contact office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 30, 2013 the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) received an application from LAWA under 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 161 seeking a Stage 3 aircraft noise and
access restriction at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The
application was reviewed in accordance with 14 CFR 161.313(a), and was
determined to be incomplete in the areas of Noise Exposure Maps (NEMs);
Noise Study Area; Technical Data Supporting Noise Impact analysis; and
Cost Benefit Analysis. Notice of this decision was sent to LAWA on
March 1. On March 15, 2013, the FAA provided LAWA additional
information regarding the type of information and analysis required to
complete the application.

    On March 28, 2013 LAWA stated its intent to revise the Part 161
application and resubmit it for further review. On July 5, 2013 FAA
received a ``Supplemental Analysis'' from LAWA that supplemented their
initial application. The FAA reviewed the Supplemental Analysis and
determined it to be incomplete. Notice of this decision was sent to
LAWA on August 2. The areas of Airport Noise Study Area and Noise
Contours; Technical Data Supporting Noise Impact Analysis; and Cost--
Benefit Analysis continued to be incomplete. On August 20, 2013 LAWA
stated its intent to revise the Part 161 application and resubmit it to
the FAA. On May 12, 2014, FAA received LAWA's revised application. On
May 22, LAWA submitted an errata sheet. On June 10, 2014, FAA
determined LAWA's application to be complete. ANCA establishes a 180
day review period for the application. Under 14 CFR 161.313(c)(4)(ii),
the review period starts on the date of receipt of the last supplement
to the application.
    Pursuant to 14 CFR 161.317, FAA may approve or disapprove, in whole
or in part, the proposed restriction or any alternative restriction
submitted by LAWA. This notice also announces the availability of the
proposed airport access restriction for public review and invites
interested parties to file comments to the FAA within 30 days after
this notice is published in the Federal Register.
    FAA Action Under Part 161 Subpart D. FAA will review and render a
decision on the restriction as a whole, including its impacts on
aircraft operations that are not classified as Stage 3, at the time it
issues its decision to approve or disapprove the application for a
Stage 3 aircraft noise and access restriction submitted under Subpart D
of Part 161. This review will include a determination on how the
restriction proposal addresses other applicable Federal law and LAX's
grant assurances.
    The FAA's evaluation will be conducted under the provisions of 14
CFR Part 161. FAA may approve the restriction only if it finds on the
basis of substantial evidence that the following six statutory criteria
are met. These six statutory conditions of approval are: Condition 1:
The restriction is reasonable, nonarbitrary, and nondiscriminatory;
Condition 2: The restriction does not create an undue burden or
interstate or foreign commerce; Condition 3: The proposed restriction
maintains safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace; Condition
4: The proposed restriction does not conflict with any existing Federal
statute or regulation; Condition 5: The applicant has provided adequate
opportunity for public comment on the proposed restriction; and
Condition 6: The proposed restriction does not create an undue burden
on the national aviation system.
    Interested persons are invited to file comments to the FAA on the
proposed restriction application. LAWA's application is available on
their Web site at: http://www.lawa.org/LAX Part161.aspx. Your comments
should relate to the factors that Part 161 requires an airport sponsor
to address in its application for restriction approval. All relevant
comments received within the public comment period will be considered
by FAA to the extent practicable before FAA makes its final decision on
the application.
    Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Issued in Washington, DC on June 20, 2014.
