DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Noise Exposure Map Notice: Receipt of
Noise Compatibility Program and
Request for Review
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure
maps submitted by Capital Region
Airport Authority for Capital City
Airport under the 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. The FAA also
announces that it is reviewing a
proposed noise compatibility program
that was submitted for Capital City
Airport under Part 150 in conjunction
with the noise exposure map, and that
this program will be approved or
disapproved on or before August 5,
2005.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date
of the FAA’s determination on the noise
exposure maps and of the start of its
review of the associated noise
compatibility program is February 7,
2005. The public comment period ends
April 8, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Katherine S. Jones, Federal Aviation
Administration, Detroit Airports District
Office, 11677 South Wayne Road, Suite
107, Romulus, Michigan, phone number
(734) 229–2958. Comments on the
proposed noise compatibility program
should also be submitted to the above
office.
This
notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure maps submitted
for Capital City Airport are in
compliance with applicable
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

requirements of Part 150, effective
February 7, 2005. Further, FAA is
reviewing a proposed noise
compatibility program for that airport
which will be approved or disapproved
on or before August 5, 2005. This notice
also announces the availability of this
program for public review and
comment.
Under 49 U.S.C. 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 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.
Capital Region Airport Authority
submitted to the FAA on February 1,
2005 noise exposure maps, descriptions
and other documentation that were
produced during the Capital City
Airport FAR Part 150 Noise
Compatibility Study Update, January
2005. 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 Capital
Region Airport Authority. The specific
documentation determined to constitute
the noise exposure maps includes:
Noise Exposure Map Existing
Conditions (2003), Noise Exposure Map
Future (2008) with Runway Extension,
FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study
Update Volume I contains the required
information for Section 47503 and
section A150.101 including the
following specific references: Current
and forecast operations in Table II–9;
E:\FR\FM\18MRN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 52 / Friday, March 18, 2005 / Notices
fleet mix and nighttime operations in
Tables IV–2, IV–3, IV–4, and IV–5; flight
patterns in Exhibits IV–3, IV–4, Iv–5,
IV–6, IV–7, IV–8, IV–9, IV–10, and land
use in Exhibits III–2 and III–3. The FAA
has determined that these maps for
Capital City Airport are in compliance
with applicable requirements. This
determination is effective on February 7,
2005. FAA’s determinations on an
airport operator’s noise exposure maps
is limited to a finding that the maps are
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 find
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 statutorily required consultation
has been accomplished.
The FAA has formally received the
noise compatibility program for Capital
Region Airport Authority, also effective
on February 7, 2005. Preliminary review
of the submitted material indicates that
in 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 August 6, 2005.
The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be
conducted under the provisions of 14
VerDate jul<14>2003
16:14 Mar 17, 2005
Jkt 205001
CFR part 150, section 150.33. The
primary considerations in the
evaluation process are whether the
proposed measures may reduce the level
of aviation safety, create an undue
burden on interstate or foreign
commerce, or by 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. All
comments, other than those properly
addressed to local land use authorities,
will be considered by the FAA 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:

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.
Capital Region Airport Authority submitted to the FAA on February

9, IV-10, and land use in Exhibits III-2 and III-3. The FAA has
determined that these maps for Capital City Airport are in compliance
with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on
February 7, 2005. FAA's determinations on an airport operator's noise
