approval to renew an information collection. The collection involves 
information on voluntary airport noise compatibility programs. The 
respondents are airport operators that voluntarily submit noise 
exposure maps and noise compatibility programs to the FAA for review 
and approval. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period 
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was 
published on May 25, 2018. 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 in approval in 
advance.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by August 30, 2018.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0517.
    Title: Airport Nosie 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: 3,950 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 59,250 hours.
