Noise Compatibility Program and
Request for Review for Harrisburg

ACTION: Notice.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure
maps submitted by the Susquehanna
Area Regional Airport Authority for the
Harrisburg International Airport 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
are in compliance with applicable
requirements. The FAA also announces
that it is reviewing a proposed noise
compatibility program that was
submitted for the Harrisburg
International Airport under part 150 in
conjunction with the noise exposure
map, and that this program will be
approved or disapproved on or before
July 12, 2006.
DATES: The effective date of the FAA’s
determination on the noise exposure
maps and of the start of its review of the
associated noise compatibility program
is January 13, 2006. The public
comment period ends March 14, 2006.

Telephone 717–730–2832. 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 maps submitted
for the Harrisburg International Airport
are in compliance with applicable
requirements of part 150, effective
January 13, 2006. Further, FAA is
reviewing a proposed noise

compatibility program for that airport
which will be approved or disapproved
on or before July 12, 2006. This notice
also announces the availability of this
proposed noise compatibility 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 noise exposure maps
which meet applicable regulations and
which depict non-compatible 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,
governmental agencies, and persons
using the Airport.
An airport operator who has
submitted noise exposure maps that are
found by FAA to be in compliance with
the requirements of Federal Aviation
Regulations (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 reduction of
existing non-compatible uses and for the
prevention of the introduction of
additional non-compatible uses.
The Susquehanna Area Regional
Authority submitted to the FAA on
December 16, 2005 noise exposure
maps, descriptions and other
documentation which were produced
during the development of the Final
Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study
dated May 2005 and the Addendum 1
to that study dated December 2005. It
was requested that the FAA review this
material as the noise exposure maps, 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 the
Susquehanna Area Regional Airport
Authority. The specific maps under
consideration are the Existing (2004)
Noise Exposure Map (NEM) for the
existing conditions and the Future
(2010) NEM with Noise Compatibility
Program (NCP) Implementation. The
FAA has determined that these maps for
the Harrisburg International Airport are
in compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is
effective on January 13, 2006. FAA’s
determination on an airport operator’s
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
5101
noise exposure maps 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 a
commitment to approve a noise
compatibility program or to fund the
implementation of that 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 maps 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 noise
exposure maps. 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, which submitted those
maps, 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 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 the
Harrisburg International Airport, also
effective January 13, 2006. Preliminary
review of the submitted material
indicates that it conforms to the
requirements for the submittal or 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 July 12, 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 use.
Interested persons are invited to
comment on the proposed program with
specific reference to these factors. All
comments, other than those properly
addressed to local land use authorities,
will be considered by the FAA to the
extent practicable. Copies of the noise
exposure maps, the FAA’s evaluation of
the maps, and the proposed noise
compatibility program for the
Harrisburg International Airport are
