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: 1. The noise compatibility program was developed in accordance with the provisions and procedures of FAR part 150; 2. 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; 3. 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 4. Program measures relating to the uses 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 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 New York Airports District Office in Garden City, New York. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:58 Mar 10, 2006 Jkt 208001 The South Jersey Transportation Authority submitted its noise exposure maps, descriptions, and other documentation produced during the noise compatibility study in 2003 to the FAA on December 31, 2004. The Atlantic City International Airport’s noise exposure maps were determined by FAA to be in compliance with applicable requirements on July 15, 2005. Notice of this determination was published in the Federal Register on July 27, 2005. The Atlantic City International Airport study contains a proposed noise compatibility program update 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 104(b) of the Act. The FAA began its review of the program on July 15, 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 noise compatibility program contained three proposed actions for noise mitigation. The FAA completed its review and determined that the procedural and substantive requirements of the Act and FAR part 150 have been satisfied. The Acting Associate Administrator for Airports approved the overall program effective January 11, 2006. All three program measures have been approved in whole or in part. Measure 3 (use of Runway 13–31 as the preferential runway for night departures) was disapproved in part due to ATCT concerns. These determination are set forth in detail in a Record of Approval signed by the Acting Associate Administrator for Airports on January 11, 2006. 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 administration offices of the South Jersey Transportation Authority. The Record of Approval also will be available on-line at https://www.faa.gov/arp/environmental/ 14cfr150/index14.cfm.

compatibility program modification for Orlando Sanford International 
Airport which will be approved or disapproved on or before August 30, 
2006. This notice also announces the availability of this program 
modification for public review and comment.
    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 the Act, 
may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets 
forth the measures the operator has taken or proposes to reduce 
existing non-compatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional 
non-compatible uses.
    The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for 
Orlando Sanford International Airport, effective on March 3, 2006. The 
airport operator has requested that the FAA review this material and 
that the modified noise mitigation measures, to be implemented jointly 
by the airport and surrounding communities, be approved as a noise 
compatibility program under section 47504 of the Act. 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 modification. The formal review period, limited by law 
to a maximum of 180 days, will be completed on or before August 30, 
2006.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the 
provisions of 14 CFR part 150, Sec.  150.33. The primary considerations 
in the evaluation process are whether the proposed measures may reduce 
the level of aviation safety or create an undue burden on interstate or 
foreign commerce, and whether they are 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 relating to 
these factors, 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 are available for 
examination at the following locations: Federal Aviation 
Administration, Orlando Airports District Office, 5950 Hazeltine 
National Dr., Suite 400, Orlando, Florida 32822.
    Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the 
heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
