Stage 2 Aircraft at San Francisco International Airport, San Francisco,
California
agency: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
action: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
summary: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been notified by
San Francisco International Airport that it proposes to amend its
current Noise Abatement Regulation 4(C), which currently restricts
operation of Stage 2 aircraft between 11:00 and 7:00 a.m., locally, by
extending the restricted hours to between 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. local
time. The San Francisco International Airport has provided notice of
the proposed restriction and an opportunity to comment to the public,
pursuant to the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990, and 14 CFR
161.203.
effective date: In its notice, published on August 14, 15, and 17, 1998
in the San Francisco Examiner, the San Francisco International Airport
indicated that the effective date of the proposed restriction is March
5, 1999.
for further information contact: Ms. Jean Caramatti, Secretary to the
San Francisco Airport Commission, San Francisco International Airport,
International Terminal, Fifth Floor, P.O. Box 8097, San Francisco,
California 94128, Telephone: 650/794-5000. Copies of the complete text
of the proposed restriction and the supporting analysis may be obtained
by making a request in writing to the above address. These documents
are also made available for public inspection at the above office upon
written request.
supplemntary information: This notice announces FAA's notification by
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) that it proposes to amend its
current Noise Abatement Regulation 4(C), which currently restricts
operation of Stage 2 aircraft between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.,
locally, and requires operators to agree to adhere to SFO's
preferential runway use program in order to operate aircraft during
those hours. The proposed restriction expands the current restriction
on nighttime operation of Stage 2 aircraft by (1) extending the
restricted hours to 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. local time, (2) requiring
operators to agree to adhere to SFO's preferential runway use program
in order to operate aircraft during those hours, and (3) eliminating
the existing exemption from restriction of operations between the hour
of 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. local time, for Stage 2 aircraft operators
that agree to adhere to SFO's preferential runway use program. The
proposed effective date for the proposed restriction is March 5, 1999.
Public comments on the proposed restriction must be submitted directly
to the individual named above under the heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT and must be received on or before October 23, 1998.
Issued in Hawthorne, California on September 14, 1998.
