AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure

maps (NEM’s) submitted by the airport
director for the Boise Air Terminal/
Gowen Field 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 the Boise Air
Terminal/Gowen Field under part 150
in conjunction with the NEM’s and this
program will be approved or
disapproved on or before February 13,
2006.
DATES: The effective date of the FAA’s
determination on the NEM’s and the
start of its review of the associated noise
compatibility program is August 12,
2005. The public comment period ends
October 12, 2005.

Administration, Seattle Airports District
Office, 1601 Lind Ave., SW., Suite 250,
Renton, WA 98055–4056, telephone
(425) 227–2653. Comments on the
proposed noise compatibility program
should also be submitted to the above
office.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA finds
that the NEM’s submitted for the Boise
Air Terminal/Gowen Field are in
compliance with applicable
requirements of part 150, effective
August 12, 2005. Further, the FAA is
reviewing a proposed noise
compatibility program for that airport
which will be approved or disapproved
on or before February 13, 2006. This
notice also announces the availability of
this program for public review and
comment.
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 NEM’s 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 NEM’s 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
E:\FR\FM\23AUN1.SGM
23AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 162 / Tuesday, August 23, 2005 / Notices
proposes to take, to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the
introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
The director of the Boise Air
Terminal/Gowen Field submitted to the
FAA on September 9, 2004, NEM’s,
descriptions and other documentation
that were produced during the Boise Air
Terminal/Gowen Field FAR Part 150
Study dated July 2004. It was requested
that the FAA review this material as the
NEM’s, 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 NEM’s and related descriptions
submitted by the director of the Boise
Air Terminal/Gowen Field. The specific
documentation determined to constitute
the NEM’s includes the following from
the Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field
FAR Part 150 Study of July 2004:
• Figure 5–1, Existing Noise Exposure
Map, 2004
• Figure 5–2, Future Noise Exposure
Map, 2009
• Tables(s) 2.17 and 2.18, Summary
of Annual Activity for 2003 and 2008
• Table 5.1 at page 5.2, Existing and
Future Noise Exposure Map with
Existing and Future Land Use, presents
estimates of the number of persons
residing within the day/night noise
level 60 through 75 noise contours
• Figures 3–1 and 3–2 present Flight
Tracks
• Pages 9–1 through 9–3 present the
Record of Consultation during the study
• Appendix F presents Revised
Consultation
The FAA has determined that these
maps for the Boise Air Terminal/Gowen
Field are in compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is
effective on August 12, 2005. The FAA’s
determination on an airport operator’s
NEM’s 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 funds the
implementation of that program.
If questions arise concerning the
precise relationship of specific
properties to noise exposure contours
depicted on a NEM’s 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
VerDate Aug<18>2005
15:03 Aug 22, 2005
Jkt 205001
regard to the depicted noise contours, or
interpreting the NEM’s 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
NEM’s. 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
who 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 Boise Air
Terminal/Gowen Field, also effective on
August 12, 2005. 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 February 13,
2006.
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 measures 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:

tests are required. This policy adds
analysis or inspection as valid means of
compliance, in lieu of test. The FAA
