Request for Comment and Information; Draft Report to Congress on Potential Hazards to Aircraft by Locating Waste Disposal Sites in Vicinity of Airports

This notice requests comment to help fulfill a requirement in Section 203 of the Airport and Airway Safety Capacity, Noise Improvement, and Intermodal Transportation Act of 1992 (Public Law 102- 581). Section 203(b)(2) directs the Secretary of Transportation to conduct a study to determine whether a municipal solid waste facility, located within a 5-mile radius of the end of a runway, has the potential for attracting or sustaining bird movements (from feeding, watering, or roosting in the area) and poses a hazard to runways or approach and departure patterns of aircraft. The Secretary of Transportation has directed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct this study. This notice solicits comments from the public on a draft report, as directed by Congress. The FAA believes a wide-range of public views will be beneficial in developing a comprehensive final Report to Congress.
