DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Noise Compatibility Program Notice;
Addison Airport, Addison, TX
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the noise compatibility
program submitted by the town of
Addison 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 September
22, 2004, the FAA determined that the
noise exposure maps submitted by the
town of Addison under part 150 were in
compliance with applicable
requirements. On December 22, 2005,
the FAA approved the Addison Airport
noise compatibility program. Most of
the recommendations of the program
were approved.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date
of the FAA’s approval of the Addison
Airport noise compatibility program is
December 22, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Paul Blackford, Environmental
Specialist, Federal Aviation
Administration, Texas Airports
Development Office, ASW–650, 2601
Meacham Boulevard, Fort Worth, Texas
76193–0650. Telephone (617) 222–5607.

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

compatibility program for Addison
Airport, effective December 22, 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
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, 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

2984
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 18, 2006 / Notices
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 town of Addison submitted to
FAA on September 1, 2004, the noise
exposure maps, descriptions, and other
documentation produced during the
noise compatibility planning study
conducted from October 2001 through
September 2004. The Addison Airport
noise exposure maps were determined
by FAA to be in compliance with
applicable requirements on September
22, 2004. Notice of this determination
was published in the Federal Register
on September 29, 2004.
The Addison Airport study contains a
proposed noise compatibility program
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 as described in
section 47504 of the Act. The FAA
began its review of the program on July
1, 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 to be an approval of such
program.
The submitted program contained
nineteen (19) proposed actions for noise
mitigation on and 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
December 22, 2005.
Outright approval was granted for
twelve (12) of the specific program
elements. One (1) element was
disapproved, one (1) element was
disapproved pending submittal of
additional information, two (2) elements
were partially approved, and three (3)
elements required no action.
Disapproved element proposed to create
a departure procedure for runway 15
that incorporates maintaining runway
heading for 1.5 distance measuring

equipment (DME) prior to turning on
course for business jets and turboprop
aircraft. In addition to impacts on
airspace operational efficiency, the
element did not meet Part 150 approval
criteria of reducing non-compatible land
uses exposed to 65 DNL. Element
disapproved pending submittal of
additional information proposed
acquisition of a 6.98-acre section of
land, which borders airport property to
the northwest and is contained within
the 2007 70 and 75 DNL noise contours.
The 6.98-acre section of land is zoned
for compatible industrial and
transportation land uses and is located
within the jurisdiction of the Town of
Addison. Supporting information is
required to demonstrate that
noncompatible development is highly
likely, and that existing and proposed
new local land use controls are
inadequate to prevent that development.
Approved measures included sound
insulation of fifteen (15) single-family
homes and 368 apartment units within
the 2007 65 DNL contour; one (1)
measure contained in the Noise
Abatement Element; nine (9) measures,
two (2) approved in part, contained in
the Land Use Management Element; and
four (4) measures included in the
Program Management Element.
These determinations are set forth in
detail in a Record of Approval signed by
the Associate Administrator for
Airports, ARP–1, on December 22, 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 Addison
Airport. The Record of Approval also
will be available on-line at https://
