Receipt of Revision Number 2 To Approved Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review for the Scottsdale Airport, Scottsdale, AZ, 2984-2985 [06-412]

Download as PDF erjones on PROD1PC68 with NOTICES 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:06 Jan 17, 2006 Jkt 208001 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:// www.faa.gov/arp/environmental/ 14cfr150/index14.cfm. Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, January 10, 2006. Kelvin L.
