AGENCY: ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its determination that the noise exposure maps submitted by the City of Flagstaff for Flagstaff Pulliam 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. VerDate jul<14>2003 14:54 Apr 19, 2005 Jkt 205001 The effective date of the FAA’s determination on the noise exposure maps is April 7, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michelle Simmons, Environmental Protection Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, Western Pacific Region Headquarters, PO Box 92007, Los Angeles, California 90009, Telephone: (301) 725–3614. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds that the noise exposure maps submitted for Flagstaff Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of Part 150, effective April 7, 2005. Under 49 U.S.C. 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 noncompatible 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 City of Flagstaff, Arizona. The documentation that constitutes the ‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in section 150.7 of Part 150 includes: Exhibit 1 ‘‘Existing Conditions (2003) Noise Exposure Map,’’ and Exhibit 2 ‘‘Five-Year Forecast (2008) Noise Exposure Map.’’ The Noise Exposure Maps contain current and forecast information including the depiction of the airport and its boundaries, the runway configurations, land uses such as residential, open space, commercial/ office, community facilities, libraries, churches, open space, infrastructure, vacant and warehouse and those areas within the Yearly Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) 65, 70 and 75 noise contours. Estimates for the number of people within these contours for the year 2003 are shown in Table 4B. EFFECTIVE DATE: PO 00000 Frm 00103 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20617 Estimates of the future residential population within the 2008 noise contours are shown in Table 4D. Exhibit 3J displays the location of noise monitoring sites. Flight tracks for the existing and the five-year forecast Noise Exposure Maps are found in Exhibits 3E, 3F, and 3G. The type and frequency of aircraft operations (including nighttime operations) are found in Tables 3C and 3D. The FAA has determined that these noise exposure maps and accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on April 7, 2005. 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 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 statutorily required consultation has been accomplished.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its 
determination that the noise exposure maps submitted by the City of 
Flagstaff for Flagstaff Pulliam 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.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the FAA's determination on the 
noise exposure maps is April 7, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michelle Simmons, Environmental 
Protection Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, Western Pacific 
Region Headquarters, PO Box 92007, Los Angeles, California 90009, 
Telephone: (301) 725-3614.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds 
that the noise exposure maps submitted for Flagstaff Airport are in 
compliance with applicable requirements of Part 150, effective April 7, 
2005. Under 49 U.S.C. 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 non-compatible 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 City of Flagstaff, Arizona. The 
documentation that constitutes the ``Noise Exposure Maps'' as defined 
in section 150.7 of Part 150 includes: Exhibit 1 ``Existing Conditions 
(2003) Noise Exposure Map,'' and Exhibit 2 ``Five-Year Forecast (2008) 
Noise Exposure Map.'' The Noise Exposure Maps contain current and 
forecast information including the depiction of the airport and its 
boundaries, the runway configurations, land uses such as residential, 
open space, commercial/office, community facilities, libraries, 
churches, open space, infrastructure, vacant and warehouse and those 
areas within the Yearly Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) 65, 70 and 
75 noise contours. Estimates for the number of people within these 
contours for the year 2003 are shown in Table 4B. Estimates of the 
future residential population within the 2008 noise contours are shown 
in Table 4D. Exhibit 3J displays the location of noise monitoring 
sites. Flight tracks for the existing and the five-year forecast Noise 
Exposure Maps are found in Exhibits 3E, 3F, and 3G. The type and 
frequency of aircraft operations (including nighttime operations) are 
found in Tables 3C and 3D. The FAA has determined that these noise 
exposure maps and accompanying documentation are in compliance with 
applicable requirements. This determination is effective on April 7, 
2005.
    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 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 statutorily required consultation has 
been accomplished.

FAA's evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the
