SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 47501–47510; 14 CFR
part 150.
This notice announces that the FAA
has given its overall approval to
Westover Metropolitan Airport noise
compatibility program, effective
February 6, 2015.
Under Section 104 (a) of the Aviation
Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979
(hereinafter the Act), an airport operator
who has previously submitted a noise
exposure map may submit to the FAA
a noise compatibility program which
sets forth the measures taken or
proposed by the airport operator for the
reduction of existing non-compatible
land uses and prevention of additional
non-compatible land uses within the
area covered by the noise exposure
maps.
The Act requires such programs to be
developed in consultation with
interested and affected parties including
local communities, government
agencies, airport users, and FAA
personnel.
Each airport noise compatibility
program developed in accordance with
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR), Part
150 is a local program, not a federal
program. The FAA does not substitute
its judgment for that of the airport
proprietor with respect to which
measures should be recommended for
action. The FAA’s approval or
disapproval of FAR Part 150 program
recommendations is measured
according to the standards expressed in
Part 150 and the Act, and is limited to
the following determinations:
(a) The noise compatibility program
was developed in accordance with the
provisions and procedures of FAR Part
150;
(b) program measures are reasonably
consistent with achieving the goals of
reducing existing non-compatible land
uses around the airport and preventing
the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses;
(c) program measures would not
create an undue burden on interstate or
foreign commerce, unjustly discriminate
against types or classes of aeronautical
uses, violate the terms of airport grant
agreements, or intrude into areas
preempted by the federal government;
and
(d) program measures relating to the
use of flight procedures can be
implemented within the period covered

by the program without derogating
safety, adversely affecting the efficient
use and management of the navigable
airspace and air traffic control systems,
or adversely affecting other powers and
responsibilities of the Administrator as
prescribed by law.
Specific limitations with respect to
FAA’s approval of an airport noise
compatibility program are delineated in
FAR Part 150, Section 150.5. Approval
is not a determination concerning the
acceptability of land uses under Federal,
state, or local law. Approval does not by
itself constitute a FAA implementing
action. A request for Federal action or
approval to implement specific noise
compatibility measures may be
required, and an FAA decision on the
request may require an environmental
assessment of the proposed action.
Approval does not constitute a
commitment by the FAA to financially
assist in the implementation of the
program nor a determination that all
measures covered by the program are
eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the
FAA under the Airport and Airway
Improvement Act of 1982. Where
Federal funding is sought, requests for
project grants must be submitted to the
FAA Regional Office in Burlington,
Massachusetts.
The Westover Metropolitan
Development Corporation submitted to
the FAA, on September 25, 2014, noise
exposure maps, descriptions, and other
documentation produced during the
noise compatibility planning study
conducted from 2013 to 2014. The
Westover Metropolitan Airport noise
exposure maps were determined by
FAA to be in compliance with
applicable requirements on September
25, 2014. Notice of this determination
was published in the Federal Register
on February 6, 2013.
The Westover Metropolitan Airport
study contains a proposed noise
compatibility program comprised of
actions designed for implementation by
airport. The Westover Metropolitan
Development Corporation requested that
the FAA evaluate and approve this
material as a noise compatibility
program as described in Section 104(b)
of the Act. The FAA began its review of
the program on September 25, 2014, and
was required by a provision of the Act
to approve or disapprove the program
within 180 days (other than the use of
new flight procedures for noise control).
Failure to approve or disapprove such a
program within the 180-day period shall
be deemed to be an approval of such a
program.
The submitted program contained a
change to one noise mitigation measure
in the Noise Compatibility Program.

This change allows for voluntary
acquisition of residential properties
located in the 65DNL noise contour. The
FAA completed its review and
determined that the procedural and
substantive requirements of the Act and
FAR Part 150 have been satisfied. The
New England Region Airports Division
Manager therefore approved the overall
program on February 6, 2015. The
Record of Approval, as well as other
evaluation materials and the documents
comprising the submittal, are available
for review at the FAA office listed above
and at the administrative offices of
Westover Metropolitan Airport.
