DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Public Notice for Waiver of
Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance,
Bolton Field Airport; Columbus, OH
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with
respect to land.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) is considering a
proposal to change a portion of the
airport from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use and to authorize the
release of 13.6672 acres of airport
property for an exchange of property
between the Columbus Regional Airport
Authority (CRAA) and the City of
Columbus. The land currently houses a
solid waste transfer station that will
remain on the site. The land was
conveyed to the City of Columbus in
Deed Volume 2803, page 547 of the
Recorder’s Office, Franklin County,
Ohio. The land was acquired by the City
of Columbus with funding from Federal
Grant 8–39–0026–01. There are no
impacts to the airport by allowing the
airport to dispose of the property.
Approval does not constitute a
commitment by the FAA to financially
assist in the disposal of the subject
airport property nor a determination of
eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from
the FAA. In exchange, the CRAA will
receive a parcel of land (43.562 acres)
currently being used as a golf course
facility adjacent to Port Columbus
International Airport. This parcel is
partially located in the existing Runway
Protection Zone for Runway 10R–28L as
indicated on the approved Airport
Layout Plan (ALP) for Port Columbus
International Airport.
In accordance with section 47107(h)
of title 49, United States Code, this
notice is required to be published in the
Federal Register 30 days before
modifying the land-use assurance that
requires the property to be used for an
aeronautical purpose.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before October 24, 2005.

Federal Aviation Administration
Noise Exposure Map Notice; Receipt of
Noise Compatibility Program and
Request for Review, Portland
International Jetport, Portland, ME
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure
map for Portland International Jetport,
as submitted by the City of Portland,
Maine under the provisions of Title I of
the Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96–193)
and 14 CFR part 150, is in compliance
with applicable requirements. The FAA
also announces that it is reviewing a
proposed noise compatibility program
that was submitted for Portland
International Jetport under part 150 in
conjunction with the noise exposure
map, and that this program will be
approved or disapproved on or before
March 8, 2006.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the
FAA’s determination on the noise
exposure map and of the start of its
review of the associated noise
compatibility program is September 9,
2005. The public comment period ends
on November 11, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
C. Silva, Federal Aviation
Administration, New England Region,
Airports Division, ANE–600, 12 New
England Executive Park, Burlington,
Massachusetts 01803.
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 noise exposure map submitted
for Portland International Jetport is in
compliance with applicable
requirements of part 150, effective
September 9, 2005. Further, FAA is
reviewing a proposed noise
compatibility program for that airport
which will be approved or disapproved
on or before March 8, 2006. This notice
also announces the availability of this
E:\FR\FM\22SEN1.SGM
22SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 183 / Thursday, September 22, 2005 / Notices
program for public review and
comment.
Under section 103 of Title I of the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act of 1979 (hereinafter referred to as
‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may
submit to the FAA a noise exposure
map which meets applicable regulations
and which depicts non compatible land
uses as of the date of submission of such
map, a description of projected aircraft
operations, and the ways in which such
operations will affect such map. The Act
requires such map 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 a noise exposure map that is
found by FAA to be in compliance with
the requirements of Federal Aviation
Regulation (FAR) part 150, promulgated
pursuant to Title I of the Act, may
submit a noise compatibility program
for FAA approval which sets forth the
measures the operator has taken, or
proposes, for the introduction of
additional non-compatible uses.
The city of Portland, Maine submitted
to the FAA, on August 31, 2005, a noise
exposure map, descriptions, and other
documentation that were produced
during the Airport Noise Compatibility
Planning (part 150) study at Portland
International Jetport from December
2001 to August 2005. It was requested
that the FAA review this material as the
noise exposure map, as described in
section 103(a)(1) 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 104(b) of the Act.
The FAA has completed its review of
the noise exposure maps and related
descriptions submitted by City of
Portland, Maine. The specific maps
under consideration were: (1) ‘‘Figure
24. Noise Exposure Map DNL Contours
for Year 2002 Operations with and
without Terrain Adjustments’’; (2)
‘‘Figure 26. Noise Exposure Map DNL
Contours for 2007 Forecast Operations
Compared to Contours for 2002 Existing
Operations’’; and (3) ‘‘Figure 38. Noise
Compatibility Program DNL Contours
for 2007 NEM’’; along with the
supporting documentation in Noise
Exposure Map and Noise Compatibility
Program Updates, August 2005. The
FAA has determined that the maps for
Portland International Jetport are in
compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is
effective on September 9, 2005.
FAA’s determination on an airport
operator’s noise exposure maps is
limited to a finding that the maps were
VerDate Aug<31>2005
14:53 Sep 21, 2005
Jkt 205001
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 the program. If
questions arise concerning the precise
relationship of specific properties to
noise exposure contours depicted on a
noise exposure map submitted under
section 103 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 map
to resolve questions concerning, for
example, which properties should be
covered by the provisions of section 107
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 a noise exposure map.
Therefore, the responsibility for the
detailed overlaying of noise exposure
contours onto the map depiciting
properties on the surface rests
exclusively with the airport operator
that submitted the map, or with those
public agencies and planning agencies
with which consultation is required
under section 103 of the Act. The FAA
has relied on the certification by the
airport operator, under § 150.21 of FAR
part 150, that the statutorily required
consultation has been accomplished.
The FAA has formally received the
noise compatibility program for
Portland International Jetport, also
effective on September 9, 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 March 8, 2006.
The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be
conducted under the provisions of 14
CFR part 150, § 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. All

comments, other than those properly

the map, and the proposed noise
compatibility program are available for
