Noise Compatibility Program Revision
Notice; Austin, TX
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the Noise Compatibility
Program revision submitted by the city
of Austin 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 April 5 and
May 8, 2000, The FAA determined that
the noise exposure maps submitted by
the city of Austin under part 150
complied with applicable requirements.
On August 5, 2005, the FAA approved
a revision to the Austin-Bergstrom
International Airport Noise
Compatibility Program. The program
measure in this revision was fully
approved.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the
FAA’s approval of the Austin-Bergstrom
International Airport Noise
Compatibility Program revision is
August 5, 2005.

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 revision for
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport,
effective August 5, 2005.
Under section 47504 of the Act, an
airport operator who has previously
submitted a noise exposure 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’s 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
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,
VerDate Aug<18>2005

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, section 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 regional office in
Fort Worth, Texas.
The city of Austin submitted to the
FAA on April 5, 1999, the noise
exposure maps, descriptions, and other
documentation produced during the
noise compatibility planning study
conducted from August 1998 through
March 1999. Subsequently, the city
submitted a revised 2004 noise exposure
map, which the FAA approved on May
8, 2000. The Austin-Bergstrom
International Airport’s noise exposure
maps were determined by FAA to be in
compliance with applicable
requirements on April 5, 1999 and May
8, 2000. Notices of these determinations
were published in the Federal Register
on April 20, 1999 and May 25, 2000,
respectively.
The Austin-Bergstrom International
Airport study contains a proposed Noise
Compatibility Program revision
comprised of actions designed for
phased implementation by airport
management and adjacent jurisdictions.
It was requested that the FAA evaluate
and approve this material as a Noise
Compatibility Program revision as
described in section 47504 of the Act.
The FAA began its review of the
program revision on February 11, 2005,
and was required by a provision of the
Act to approve or disapprove the
program within 180 days (other than 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 an approval of such program.
The submitted program revision
contained one (1) proposed action for
noise mitigation off the airport. The
FAA completed its review and
PO 00000
Frm 00087
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
determined that the procedural land
substantive requirements of the Act and
FAR Part 150 have been satisfied. The
overall program revision, therefore, was
approved by the FAA effective August
5, 2005.
Outright approval was granted for the
one (1) specific program measure.
Approved action elements included a
land use mitigation measure involving a
land acquisition program and a sound
insulation program. These
determinations are set forth in detail in
a Record of Approval signed by the
Associate Administrator for Airports,
ARP–1, 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
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
The Record of Approval also will be
available on-line at https://www.faa.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA has given
its overall approval to the Noise Compatibility Program revision for
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, effective August 5, 2005.
Under section 47504 of the Act, an airport operator who has
previously submitted a noise exposure may submit to the FAA a Noise

Each Airport's Noise Compatibility Program developed in accordance

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

The city of Austin submitted to the FAA on April 5, 1999, the noise
exposure maps, descriptions, and other documentation produced during
the noise compatibility planning study conducted from August 1998
through March 1999. Subsequently, the city submitted a revised 2004
noise exposure map, which the FAA approved on May 8, 2000. The Austin-
Bergstrom International Airport's noise exposure maps were determined
by FAA to be in compliance with applicable requirements on April 5,
1999 and May 8, 2000. Notices of these determinations were published in
the Federal Register on April 20, 1999 and May 25, 2000, respectively.

and FAR Part 150 have been satisfied. The overall program revision,
therefore, was approved by the FAA effective August 5, 2005.
