Assurance Obligations and Land
Exchange, Tucson International
Airport, Tucson, Pima County, Arizona
AGENCY
: Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION
: Notice of request to release
airport land.
SUMMARY
: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) is considering a
proposal and invites public comment on
the application for release of
approximately 158-acres more or less of
property from federal Grant Assurance
obligations and land exchange at
Tucson International Airport, Tucson,
Arizona. Tucson Airport Authority
(TAA) is requesting a total release from
federal obligations on approximately
158-acres more or less of TAA property,
and to authorize a land exchange of
approximately 61.4-acres more or less
[and cash] between TAA and the United
States Air Force (USAF). The release
property is comprised of a portion of
two parcels along the southern
boundary of the abandoned Hughes
Access Road, adjacent to the main
airport airfield and campus.
DATES
: Comments must be received on
or before March 24, 2023.
ADDRESSES
: Comments on the request
may be mailed or delivered to the FAA
at the following address: Mr. Mike N
Williams, Manager, Phoenix Airports
District Office, Federal Aviation
Administration, 3800 N Central Ave,
Suite 1025, 10th Floor, Phoenix,
Arizona, 85012. In addition, one copy of
the comment submitted to the FAA
must be mailed or delivered to Ms.
Danette Bewley, A.A.E., President and
Chief Executive Officer, Tucson Airport
Authority, 7250 S Tucson Boulevard,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: The
release property is 158-acres more or
less is a portion of two combined
parcels, Parcel 22 and Parcel 34. Parcel
22 was acquired from the State of
Arizona with Airport Improvement
Program (AIP) funding via Patent dated
February 24, 2002. Parcel 34 was
acquired from the State of Arizona with
Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) funding
via Patent dated June 6, 2002. The 158-
acres more or less portion of subject
land identified as Parcel G is not
currently required for aeronautical
purposes. TAA is intending to exchange
Parcel G property and cash, with
approximately 61.4-acres more or less of
USAF property known as Parcel F.
The exchange is based on appraisals
estimating fair market value of the
affected parcels. TAA will acquire fee
simple ownership of 61.4-acres more or
less and easements restricting
development on 182.6-acres more or
less from USAF in exchange for USAF
acquiring fee simple ownership of
158.0-acres more or less, use restriction
easements on 107-acres more or less,
access easement of three acres of TAA
land and $1,640,000 in financial
compensation. TAA will also fund the
demolition and replacement of several
munitions storage bunkers located on
USAF property. Such use of the land
represents a compatible land use that
will not interfere with the airport or its
operation, thereby protecting the
interests of civil aviation. The resulting
actions would allow future airport
development for TAA and will support
the USAF through providing the
required munitions safety separation
distances.
In accordance with the Wendell H.
Ford Aviation Investment and Reform
Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public
Law 106–181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat.
61), this notice must be published in the
Federal Register 30 days before the DOT
Secretary may waive any condition
imposed on a federally obligated airport
by surplus property conveyance deeds
or grant agreements.
Issued in El Segundo, California, on
February 15, 2023.

[Docket No. FMCSA–2022–0172]
Hours of Service: Exemption
Application From Flat Top Transport,
LLC
AGENCY
: Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation.
ACTION
: Notice of final disposition;
denial of application for exemption.
SUMMARY
: FMCSA announces its
decision to deny Flat Top Transport’s
request for an exemption from the
hours-of-service (HOS) regulations. Flat
Top Transport requested a four-month
exemption for ‘‘immediate and
emergency delivery of dry and bulk food
grade products to locations that supply
stores and distribution centers
nationally.’’ FMCSA analyzed the
application and public comments and
determined that the exemption would
not achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to, or greater than, the level
that would be achieved absent such
exemption.

FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315(b) to grant
exemptions from Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). FMCSA
must publish a notice of each exemption
request in the Federal Register (49 CFR
381.315(a)). The Agency must provide
the public an opportunity to inspect the
information relevant to the application,
including any safety analyses that have
been conducted. The Agency must
provide an opportunity for public
comment on the request.
The Agency reviews safety analyses
and public comments submitted and
determines whether granting the
exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to, or greater than,
the level that would be achieved by the
current regulation (49 CFR 381.305).
The Agency must publish its decision in
