Federal Aviation Administration
Approval of Noise Compatibility
Program; Capital City Airport, Lansing,
MI
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the noise compatibility
program submitted by Capital Region
Airport Authority under the provisions
of 49 U.S.C. (the Aviation Safety and
Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter
referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 CFR
part 150. These findings are made in
recognition of the description of Federal
and nonfederal responsibilities in
Senate Report No. 96–52 (1980). On
February 7, 2005 the FAA determined
that the noise exposure maps submitted
by Capital Region Airport Authority
under part 150 were in compliance with
applicable requirements. On August 5,
2005, the FAA approved the Capital
City Airport noise compatibility
program. All of the recommendations of
the program were approved. No program

elements relating to new or revised
flight procedures for noise abatement
were proposed by the airport operator.
DATES: The effective date of the FAA’s
approval of the Capital City Airport
noise compatibility program is August
5, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Katherine S. Jones, Community Planner,
Detroit Airports District Office, Metro
Airport Center, 11677 South Wayne
Road, Suite 107, Romulus, Michigan,
Phone (734) 229–2900. Documents
reflecting this FAA action may be
reviewed at this same location.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA has
given its overall approval to the noise
compatibility program for Capital City
Airport, effective August 5, 2005.
Under section 47504 of 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 Regulations (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
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
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
prescribed by law.
Specific limitations with respect to
FAA’s approval of an airport noise
compatibility program are delineated in
FAR part 150, seciton 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 an 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. Where federal funding is sought,
requests for project grants must be
submitted to the FAA Airports District
Office in Romulus, Michigan.
Capital Region Airport Authority
submitted to the FAA on February 1,
2005, the noise exposure maps,
descriptions, and other documentation
produced during the noise compatibility
planning study conducted from 2004
through 2005. The Capital City Airport
noise exposure maps were determined
by FAA to be in compliance with
applicable requirements on February 7,
2005. Notice of this determination was
published in the Federal Register on
March 18, 2005 (FR Doc. 05–5341 Filed
3–17–05; 8:45 am).
The Capital City Airport study
contains a proposed noise compatibility
program comprised of actions designed
for phased implementation by airport
management and adjacent jurisdictions
from 2005 to 2008. It was requested that
the FAA evaluate and approve this
material as a noise compatibility
program as described in section 47504
of the Act. The FAA began its review of
the program on February 7, 2005 and
was required by a provision of the Act
to approve or disapprove the program
within 180 days (other that the use of
new or modified flight procedures for
noise control). Failure to approve or
disapprove such program within the
180-day period shall be deemed to be an
approval of such program.
The submitted program contained six
(6) proposed actions for noise mitigation

on and/or off the airport. The FAA
completed its review and determined
that the procedural and substantive
requirements of the Act and FAR part
150 have been satisfied. The overall
program, therefore, was approved by the
FAA effective August 5, 2005.
Outright approval was granted for all
of the specific program elements. These
elements were: Encourage real estate
sellers to provide notification of
potential noise impacts; Encourage local
jurisdictions to require new
development to provide proper sound
insulation in noise-impacted areas
through the building code process;
encourage local jurisdictions to enact/
continue an environmental review
process that allows for Airport review of
new development to ensure
consideration of noise issues/impacts;
encourage local jurisdictions to develop
policies related to noise impacts in
Comprehensive Plans to encourage
compatible development in noiseimpacted areas; present noise exposure
contours at various public outreach
efforts to continue public awareness of
community noise exposure; and update
noise exposure maps in five years or
with a significant change in aircraft
activity, fleet mix, or physical layout.
These determinations are set forth in
detail in a Record of Approval signed by
the Associate Administrator of Airports
on August 5, 2005. 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 the
Capital Region Airport Authority,
Capital City Airport, 4100 Capital City
Boulevard, Lansing, Michigan 48906.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA has given
its overall approval to the noise compatibility program for Capital

Capital Region Airport Authority submitted to the FAA on February
1, 2005, the noise exposure maps, descriptions, and other documentation
produced during the noise compatibility planning study conducted from
2004 through 2005. The Capital City Airport noise exposure maps were
determined by FAA to be in compliance with applicable requirements on
