Under 49 U.S.C., section 47503 (the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act, hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the
Act’’), an airport operator may submit to
the FAA noise exposure maps which
meet applicable regulations and which
depict non-compatible land uses as of
the date of submission of such maps, a
description of projected aircraft
operations, and the ways in which such
operations will affect such maps. The
Act requires such maps to be developed
in consultation with interested and
affected parties in the local community,
government agencies, and persons using
the airport.
An airport operator who has
submitted noise exposure maps that are
found by the FAA to be in compliance
with the requirements of Federal
Aviation Regulations (FAR) part 150,
promulgated pursuant to the Act, may
submit a noise compatibility program
for FAA approval which sets forth the
measures the operator has taken or
proposes to take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the
introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
The director of the King County
International Airport submitted to the
FAA on November 2, 2004, noise
exposure maps, descriptions and other
documentation that were produced
during the King County International
Airport FAR Part 150 Study dated
March 2002 and a Supplemental Report
dated July 2004. It was requested that
the FAA review this material as the
noise exposure maps, as described in
section 47503 of the Act, and that the
noise mitigation measures, to be
implemented jointly by the airport and
surrounding communities, be approved
as a noise compatibility program under
section 47504 of the Act.
The FAA has completed its review of
the noise exposure maps and related
descriptions submitted by the director
of the King County International
Airport. The specific documentation
determined to constitute the noise
exposure maps includes the following
from the King County International
Airport FAR Part 150 Study of 2004 and
Supplemental Report of July 2004:
• Figure S1 at page S.6, Revised
Existing Noise Exposure Map, 2003;
• Figure S3 at page S11 Revised
Future Noise Exposure Map, 2008;
• Table S1 at page S.2 Summary of

• Pages S.37 through S.47 present the
Consultation Process during the study;
Appendix F presents Revised
Consultation; and
• The potential exists for numerous
properties to be eligible for inclusion in
the National Register of Historic Places.
Consultation with the State Historic
Preservation Office has indicated that it
is not necessary to perform a detailed
evaluation of potential eligible
properties at this stage of planning.
Detailed evaluation will occur during
the preparation of environmental
documents required prior to
implementation of the program.
The FAA has determined that these
maps for King County International
Airport are in compliance with
applicable requirements. This
determination is effective on December
23, 2004. The FAA’s determination on
an airport operator’s noise exposure
maps is limited to a finding that the
maps were developed in accordance
with the procedures contained in
appendix A of FAR Part 150. Such
determination does not constitute
approval of the applicant’s data,
information or plans, or constitute a
commitment to approve a noise
compatibility program or to fund the
implementation of that program.
If questions arise concerning the
precise relationship of specific
properties to noise exposure contours
depicted on a noise exposure map
submitted under section 47503 of the
Act, it should be noted that the FAA is
not involved in any way in determining
the relative locations of specific
properties with regard to the depicted
noise contours, or in interpreting the
noise exposure maps to resolve
questions concerning, for example,
which properties should be covered by
the provisions of section 47506 of the
Act. These functions are inseparable
from the ultimate land use control and
planning responsibilities of local
government. These local responsibilities
are not changed in any way under part
150 or through the FAA’s review of
noise exposure maps. Therefore, the
responsibility for the detailed
overlaying of noise exposure contours
onto the map depicting properties on
the surface rests exclusively with the
airport operator that submitted those
E:\FR\FM\12JAN1.SGM
12JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 12, 2005 / Notices
maps, or with those public agencies and
planning agencies with which
consultation is required under section
47503 of the Act. The FAA has relied on
the certification by the airport operator,
under section 150.21 of FAR part 150,
that the statutorily required consultation
has been accomplished.
The FAA has formally received the
noise compatibility program for King
County International Airport, also
effective on December 23, 2004.
Preliminary review of the submitted
material indicates that it conforms to the
requirements for the submittal of noise
compatibility programs, but that further
review will be necessary prior to
approval or disapproval of the program.
The formal review period, limited by
law to a maximum of 180 days, will be
completed on or before June 21, 2005.
The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be
conducted under the provisions of 14
CFR part 150, section 150.33. The
primary considerations in the
evaluation process are whether the
proposed measure may reduce the level
of aviation safety, create an undue
burden on interstate or foreign
commerce, or be reasonably consistent
with obtaining the goal of reducing
existing non-compatible land uses and
preventing the introduction of
additional non-compatible land uses.
Interested persons are invited to
comment on the proposed program with
specific reference to these factors. The
FAA will consider all comments, other
than those properly addressed to local
land use authorities, to the extent
practicable. Copies of the noise
exposure maps, the FAA’s evaluation of
the maps, and the proposed noise
compatibility program are available for
examination at the following locations:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure maps submitted for King County International

Under 49 U.S.C., section 47503 (the Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as ``the Act''), an airport
operator may submit to the FAA noise exposure maps which meet
applicable regulations and which depict non-compatible land uses as of
the date of submission of such maps, a description of projected
aircraft operations, and the ways in which such operations will affect
such maps. The Act requires such maps to be developed in consultation
with interested and affected parties in the local community, government
agencies, and persons using the airport.
An airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps that are
found by the FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of Federal
Aviation Regulations (FAR) part 150, promulgated pursuant to the Act,
may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets
forth the measures the operator has taken or proposes to take to reduce
existing non-compatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional
non-compatible uses.
The director of the King County International Airport submitted to
the FAA on November 2, 2004, noise exposure maps, descriptions and
other documentation that were produced during the King County
International Airport FAR Part 150 Study dated March 2002 and a
Supplemental Report dated July 2004. It was requested that the FAA
review this material as the noise exposure maps, as described in
section 47503 of the Act, and that the noise mitigation measures, to be
implemented jointly by the airport and surrounding communities, be
approved as a noise compatibility program under section 47504 of the
Act.
The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure maps and
related descriptions submitted by the director of the King County
International Airport. The specific documentation determined to
constitute the noise exposure maps includes the following from the King
County International Airport FAR Part 150 Study of 2004 and
Supplemental Report of July 2004:
