14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–24 Edition) 

§ 161.319 

(e) The FAA will approve or dis-

approve only the Stage 3 aspects of a 
restriction if the restriction applies to 
both Stage 2 and Stage 3 aircraft oper-
ations. 

(f) An order approving a restriction 

may be subject to requirements that 
the applicant: 

(1) Comply with factual representa-

tions and commitments in support of 
the restriction; and 

(2) Ensure that any environmental 

mitigation actions or commitments by 
any party that are set forth in the en-
vironmental documentation provided 
in support of the restriction are imple-
mented. 

§ 161.319 Withdrawal or revision of re-

striction. 

(a) The applicant may withdraw or 

revise a proposed restriction at any 
time prior to FAA approval or dis-
approval, and must do so if substantial 
changes are made as described in 
§ 161.309. The applicant shall notify the 
FAA in writing of a decision to with-
draw the proposed restriction for any 
reason. The FAA will publish a notice 
in the F

that it has 

terminated its review without preju-
dice to resubmission. A resubmission 
will be considered a new application. 

(b) A subsequent amendment to a 

Stage 3 restriction that was in effect 
after October 1, 1990, or an amendment 
to a Stage 3 restriction previously ap-
proved by the FAA, is subject to the 
procedures in this subpart if the 
amendment will further reduce or limit 
aircraft operations or affect aircraft 
safety. The applicant may, at its op-
tion, revise or amend a restriction pre-
viously disapproved by the FAA and re-
submit it for approval. Amendments 
are subject to the same requirements 
and procedures as initial submissions. 

§ 161.321 Optional use of 14 CFR part 

150 procedures. 

(a) An airport operator may use the 

procedures in part 150 of this chapter, 
instead of the procedures described in 
§§ 161.303(b) and 161.309(b) of this part, 
as a means of providing an adequate 
public notice and opportunity to com-
ment on proposed Stage 3 restrictions, 
including submitted alternatives. 

(b) If the airport operator elects to 

use 14 CFR part 150 procedures to com-
ply with this subpart, the operator 
shall: 

(1) Ensure that all parties identified 

for direct notice under § 161.303(b) are 
notified that the airport’s 14 CFR part 
150 program submission will include a 
proposed Stage 3 restriction under part 
161, and that these parties are offered 
the opportunity to participate as con-
sulted parties during the development 
of the 14 CFR part 150 program; 

(2) Include the information required 

in § 161.303(c) (2) through (5) and § 161.305 
in the analysis of the proposed restric-
tion in the 14 CFR part 150 program 
submission; and 

(3) Include in its 14 CFR part 150 sub-

mission to the FAA evidence of compli-
ance with the notice requirements in 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section and in-
clude the information required for a 
part 161 application in § 161.311, to-
gether with a clear identification that 
the 14 CFR part 150 submission in-
cludes a proposed Stage 3 restriction 
for FAA review and approval under 
§§ 161.313, 161.315, and 161.317. 

(c) The FAA will evaluate the pro-

posed part 161 restriction on Stage 3 
aircraft operations included in the 14 
CFR part 150 submission in accordance 
with the procedures and standards of 
this part, and will review the total 14 
CFR part 150 submission in accordance 
with the procedures and standards of 14 
CFR part 150. 

(d) An amendment of a restriction, as 

specified in § 161.319(b) of this part, may 
also be processed under 14 CFR part 150 
procedures. 

§ 161.323 Notification of a decision not 

to implement a restriction. 

If a Stage 3 restriction has been ap-

proved by the FAA and the restriction 
is not subsequently implemented, the 
applicant shall so advise the interested 
parties specified in § 161.309(a) of this 
part. 

§ 161.325 Availability of data and com-

ments on an implemented restric-

tion. 

The applicant shall retain all rel-

evant supporting data and all com-
ments relating to an approved restric-
tion for as long as the restriction is in
