Federal Aviation Administration

Noise Exposure Map Notice for Harrisburg International Airport,
Middletown, Pennsylvania

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure maps submitted by the Susquehanna
Regional Airport Authority for Harrisburg International Airport under
the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. (Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act) and 14 CFR part 150 are in compliance with applicable
requirements.

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the FAA's determination on
the noise exposure maps is May 3, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Harrisburg Airports District Office
(HAR ADO), Susan L. McDonald, Environmental Protection Specialist,
Federal Aviation Administration, HAR ADO, 3905 Hartzdale Drive, Suite
508, Camp Hill, PA 17011, Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure maps submitted for the Harrisburg International
Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of 14 CFR part
150, effective January 13, 2004. Under 49 U.S.C. Section 47503 of the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter referred to as
``the Act''), an airport operator may submit to the FAA noise exposure
maps which meet applicable regulations and which depict non-compatible
land uses as of the date of submission of such maps, a description of
projected aircraft

operations during a forecast period that is at least five (5) years in
the future, and the ways in which such operations will affect such
maps. The Act requires such maps to be developed in consultation with
interested and affected parties in the local community, government
agencies, and persons using the airport. An airport operator who has
submitted noise exposure maps that are found by FAA to be in compliance
with the requirements of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150,
promulgated pursuant to the Act, may submit a noise compatibility
program for FAA approval which sets forth the measures the operator has
taken or proposes to take to reduce existing non-compatible uses and
prevent the introduction of additional non-compatible uses.
    The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation submitted by the Susquehanna Regional
Airport Authority. The documentation that constitutes the ``Noise
Exposure Maps'' (NEM) as defined in Section 150.7 of Part 150 includes:
2015 Base Year NEM Figure (3-1) and 2020 Future Year NEM Figure (4-1).
The Noise Exposure Maps contain current and forecast information,
including the depiction of the airport and its boundaries, the runway
configurations, and land uses such as residential, open space,
commercial/office, community facilities, libraries, churches, open
space, infrastructure, vacant and warehouse and those areas within the
Day Night Average Sound Level (DNL) 65, 70 and 75 noise contours.
Estimates for the area within these contours for the 2015 Base Year are
shown in Table 3-1 and Table 4-1; and in Chapters 3 and 4 of the NEM.
Estimates of the future residential population within the 2020 Future
Year noise contours are shown in Table 4-1 and in Chapter 4 of the NEM.
Appendix E, Figure E-1, displays the location of noise monitoring
sites. Flight tracks for the existing and the five-year forecast Noise
Exposure Maps are found in Chapter 2 and Appendix F. The type and
frequency of aircraft operations (including nighttime operations) are
found in Appendix F, Tables F-1 through and F-3. The FAA has determined
that these noise exposure maps and accompanying documentation are in
compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is
effective on May 3, 2016.
    FAA's determination on an airport operator's noise exposure maps is
limited to a finding that the maps were developed in accordance with
the procedures contained in Appendix A of FAR Part 150. Such
determination does not constitute approval of the applicant's data,
information or plans; or a commitment to approve a noise compatibility
program or to fund the implementation of that program. If questions
arise concerning the precise relationship of specific properties to
noise exposure contours depicted on a noise exposure map submitted
under Section 47503 of the Act, it should be noted that the FAA is not
involved in any way in determining the relative locations of specific
properties with regard to the depicted noise contours, or in
interpreting the noise exposure maps to resolve questions concerning,
for example, which properties should be covered by the provisions of
Section 47506 of the Act. These functions are inseparable from the
ultimate land use control and planning responsibilities of local
government. These local responsibilities are not changed in any way
under Part 150 or through FAA's review of noise exposure maps.
Therefore, the responsibility for the detailed overlaying of noise
exposure contours onto the map depicting properties on the surface
rests exclusively with the airport operator that submitted those maps,
or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which
consultation is required under Section 47503 of the Act. The FAA has
relied on the certification by the airport operator, under Section
150.21 of FAR Part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has
been accomplished.
    Copies of the full noise exposure map documentation and of the
FAA's evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the
following locations:

[Docket ID FEMA-2017-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1737]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR). The LOMR will be used by
insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings and the contents of those buildings.
For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is shown
in the table below and must be used for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

BILLING CODE P9110-12-P


			  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

		        DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

			  OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

			          WASHINGTON, D.C.

Issued by the Department of Transportation on March 11, 2005

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST-2004-19039

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Application of SPIRIT AIRLINES, INC. (SPIRIT) filed 1/13/05 for:

XX  Waiver of start-up condition for scheduled services in the Ft.
Lauderdale-

Mexico City market

Background:

By Notice of Action Taken dated September 22, 2004, the Department
granted Spirit’s application, in Docket OST-2004-19039, to conduct
daily Ft. Lauderdale-Mexico City combination services with MD-80
aircraft on a year-round basis.  Spirit had advised us that it would
commence services on the route on January 15, 2005.  Thus, consistent
with our policy for U.S.-Mexico route awards, the authority was subject
to the condition that the dormancy notice period would begin on January
15, 2005.  Under those terms, Spirit must begin Ft. Lauderdale-Mexico
City services no later than April 15, 2005 (90 days from the date the
dormancy notice period begins--January 15).

Application for Waiver of the Startup Condition:

On January 13, 2005, Spirit filed an application in the captioned docket
for a waiver of the start-up condition imposed, and asked that the
start-up deadline be extended for an additional period through December
15, 2005.  Spirit states that the delay for instituting the Ft.
Lauderdale-Mexico City service has been necessitated by aircraft fleet
modifications at the carrier (replacing its MD-80 aircraft with new
Airbus aircraft).  Spirit further states that, given current industry
conditions and the realities of its aircraft delivery schedule, it must
defer the anticipated start-up of the subject services until late fall
2005.  Spirit notes that no party will be prejudiced by approval of the
application because no other carrier serves the Ft. Lauderdale-Mexico
City market.

Applicant rep.: Anita M. Mosner<PHONE_NUMBER>  DOT Analyst:  Thuy H.
Cooper<PHONE_NUMBER>

Disposition:

After careful consideration of this matter, we have decided to grant the
application filed by Spirit for a waiver of the start-up deadline
imposed by the Notice of Action Taken dated September 22, 2004 (in
Docket OST-2004-19039), and have amended the start-up deadline through
December 15, 2005, for Ft. Lauderdale-Mexico City combination air
transportation.  We found that waiving the startup condition imposed on
Spirit’s award here was in the public interest in the circumstances
presented; namely, that Spirit has accelerated its retirement of its
MD-80 aircraft and is working to take delivery of new Airbus aircraft
that it will use to serve the Ft. Lauderdale-Mexico City market; that it
is the only U.S. carrier authorized to serve the Ft. Lauderdale-Mexico
City market (leaving one U.S. designation opportunity available in this
market); and that no party opposed its request for a waiver.

In taking this action, however, we put Spirit on notice that, should
other U.S. carriers file applications for Ft. Lauderdale-Mexico City
authority, we reserve the right to reconsider our decision here to
determine whether or not that decision continues to be in the public
interest.  In addition, there should be no expectation that an
additional waiver request to further extend the start-up deadline will
necessarily be granted.  Any future request to extend the waiver at
issue here will have to be considered in light of any specific arguments
offered and responses thereto, and in the context of the circumstances
present at that time, including whether another carrier seeks to use the
designation at issue.

As a condition of the waiver approval here, we direct Spirit to advise
us no later than July 15, 2005, of its intent to use the designation on
or before December 15, 2005.  Based on Spirit’s response, along with
any other relevant circumstances presented to us at that time, we
reserve the right to reconsider whether or not approval of the waiver
continues to be in the public interest.  If Spirit fails to respond to
this request, the Department will withdraw Spirit’s designation for
the Ft. Lauderdale-Mexico City market.

The above action was effective when taken: March 11, 2005, through
December 15, 2005.

XX  Action taken by:	Paul L. Gretch, Director

			Office of International Aviation

________________________________________________________________________
______

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy, and (2) grant of the request was consistent with the public
interest.  To the extent not granted, we denied all requests in the
referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority
granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

An electronic version of this document is available on the World Wide
Web at:

http://dms.dot.gov//reports/reports_aviation.asp

   Spirit should provide this information in the form of a letter
addressed to the Director, Office of International Aviation, X-40, 400
Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC  20590 and place a copy of the letter
in Docket OST-2004-19039.

   Spirit’s extension of the start-up deadline is effective through
December 15, 2005, or until the date on which Spirit begins service in
the Ft. Lauderdale-Mexico City market, whichever occurs earlier.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket Nos. ER06-200-000; ER06-200-002]

Big Horn Wind Project LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

February 9, 2006.
    Big Horn Wind Project LLC (Big Horn) filed an application for
market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate tariff. The
proposed rate tariff provides for the sales of energy, capacity and
ancillary services at market-based rates. Big Horn also requested
waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, Big Horn
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability
by Big Horn.
    On February 8, 2006, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director,
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--West, granted the request
for blanket approval under Part 34. The Director's order also stated
that the Commission would publish a separate notice in the Federal
Register establishing a period of time for the filing of protests.
Accordingly, any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket
approval of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by Big
Horn should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules
of Practice and Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214 (2004).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to
intervene or protests is March 10, 2006.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above,
Big Horn is authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or
liabilities as a guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect
of any security of another person; provided that such issuance or
assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of
