Notice of availability of
proposed advisory circular (AC) and
request for comments.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: This notice announces the
availability of and requests comments
on the proposed advisory circular, AC
23–24. This guidance sets forth one
method that may be used to generate
compliance checklists for some 14 CFR,
part 23 Supplemental Type Certificate
(STC) airplane projects. Guidance is
provided for changes to the airplane
autopilot, engine, propeller, auxiliary
fuel tank, and gross weight. These
compliance checklists may be used to
fulfill some of the requirements for a
Certification Plan as part of an STC
project.
Comments must be received on
or before April 29, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Send all comments on the
proposed AC to: Mr. Mark Orr, Small
Airplane Directorate, Standards Office
(ACE–110), Aircraft Certification
Service, Federal Aviation
Administration, 901 Locust Street,
Room 301, Kansas City, MO 64106.

Discussion
The checklists generated using the
information in the proposed AC are
meant to complement the guidance in
the Guides for Certification of Part 23
Airplanes (ACs 23–8B, 23–16A, 23–17A,
and 23–19) and other more projectspecific guidance. The material in the
proposed AC describes an acceptable
means, but not the only means, of
compliance with 14 CFR part 23. The
material in the proposed AC is not
mandatory or regulatory in nature and
does not constitute a regulation.
Owners/operators of part 23 airplanes
applying for an STC change covered in
this proposed AC may use this material
as a reference to create a project-specific
compliance checklist. This material is
also intended to be a reference for
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
engineers working on STC projects for
these common changes.

determination that the noise exposure
maps submitted by Lee County Port
Authority for Southwest Florida

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq
(Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act) and 14 CFR part 150 are in
compliance with applicable
requirements.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the
FAA’s determination on the noise
exposure maps is February 11, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Bonnie Baskin, Federal Aviation
Administration, Orlando Airports
District Office, 5950 Hazeltine National
Dr., Suite 400, Orlando Florida 32822,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure maps submitted
for Southwest Florida International
Airport are in compliance with
applicable requirements of part 150,
effective February 11, 2005.
Under 49 U.S.C. section 47503 of 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 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 FAA has completed its review of
the noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation
submitted by Lee County Port
Authority. The documentation that
constitutes the ‘‘noise exposure maps’’
as defined in section 150.7 of Part 150
includes: Table 7–1, ‘‘2003, 2008 and
2020 Annual operations’’; Table 8–3,
‘‘2008 Domestic Air Carrier Operations
and Fleet Mix’’; Table 8–3, ‘‘2008
Domestic Air Carrier operations and
Fleet Mix’’; Table 8–3, ‘‘2008 Domestic
Air Carrier Operations and Fleet Mix’’;
Table 8–21, ‘‘2003 and 2008 Departure
Corridor Percentages’’; Table 8–22,
‘‘2003 and 2008 Arrival Corridor
Percentages’’; Table 8–23, ‘‘2003 and
2008 Local Pattern Percentages’’; Table
9–4, ‘‘Estimated Population Within 2003
and 2008 DNL Contours’’; Exhibit 8–1,
‘‘Aircraft Flight Tracks-Northeast Flow’’;
Exhibit 8–2, ‘‘Aircraft Flight TracksSouthwest Flow’’; Exhibit 8–3, ‘‘Local
E:\FR\FM\28FEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 38 / Monday, February 28, 2005 / Notices
Flight Tracks’’; Exhibit 9–1, ‘‘2003 DNL
Noise Contours with Existing Land
Use’’; and Exhibit 9–3, ‘‘2008 DNL
Noise Contours With Existing Land
Use’’. The FAA has determined that
these noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation are in
compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is
effective on February 11, 2005.
FAA’s determination on the 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 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 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 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
statutoril6y required consultation has
been accomplished.
Copies of the full noise exposure
maps documentation and of the FAA’s
evaluation of the maps are available for
examination at the following locations:

Orlando Airports District Office, 5950
