proposal to change a portion of the
airport from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use and to authorize the
sale of the airport property. The 3.27acre parcel is on Airport Boulevard near
the western border of the airport. It is
contained within Parcels 18–1 and 18–
2 on the current Exhibit A. The current
Airport Layout Plan identifies this land
as part of an area reserved for future
aviation related development. The land
was acquired under FAA Project No(s).
ADAP 5–18–0037–01 and ADAP 5–18–
0037–02. The release of the land is
considered beneficial to the safety of the
airport because the Buck Creek
Township Fire Department proposes to
construct a new fire station at this
location. 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. The disposition of proceeds
from the disposal of the airport property
will be in accordance FAA’s Policy and
Procedures Concerning the Use of
Airport Revenue, published in the
Federal Register on February 16, 1999.
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.

Federal Aviation Administration
Noise Compatibility Program Notice;
Collin County Regional Airport;
McKinney, Texas
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the noise compatibility
program submitted by the city of
McKinney 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 November
1, 2005 the FAA determined that the
noise exposure maps submitted by the
city of McKinney under Part 150 were
in compliance with applicable
requirements. On April 28, 2006, the
FAA approved the Collin County
Regional 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 Collin
County Regional Airport noise
compatibility program is April 28, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Paul Blackford, Environmental
Specialist, Federal Aviation
Administration, Texas Airports

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA has
given its overall approval to the noise
compatibility program for Collin County
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703
Regional Airport, effective April 28,
2006.
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

cchase on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 98 / Monday, May 22, 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 city of McKinney submitted to
FAA on October 3, 2005, the noise
exposure maps, descriptions, and other
documentation produced during the
noise compatibility planning study
conducted from April 2003 through
October 2005. The Collin County
Regional Airport noise exposure maps
were determined by FAA to be in
compliance with applicable
requirements on November 1, 2005.
Notice of this determination was
published in the Federal Register on
November 14, 2005.
The Collin County Regional 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
November 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 an approval of such program.
The submitted program contained
twenty-one (21) 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 April 28,
2006.
Outright approval was granted for
thirteen (13) of the specific program
elements. Three (3) elements were
disapproved, four (4) elements were
disapproved pending submittal of
additional information, and one (1)
element required no action.
Disapproved elements include a
recommendation to remove runway end
signs (element 1b), a recommendation to
include selected alternatives for study

in National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) documents (element 1c), and a
recommendation addressing jet aircraft
visual arrivals to runway 35 (elements
3). The elements did not meet Part 150
approval criteria of reducing noncompatible land uses exposed to 65
DNL. Element 3 was additionally
disapproved because of its potential to
create unsafe aircraft operating
conditions. Elements disapproved
pending submittal of additional
information include establishment of
departure procedures for aircraft
departing runway 35 (element 2),
establishment of noise abatement
procedures for jet departures to the
south (element 4), designation of engine
run-up locations (element 8a), and
restrictions to hours in which aircraft
engine maintenance run-ups may be
performed (element 8b). Supporting
information, for each of the four
elements, is required to quantify affects
on non-compatible land uses and
demonstrate potential benefits.
Approved measures include
recommendations for helicopter
operations near the airport (two
elements, approved as voluntary);
continuance of flight training
predominantly east of the airport
(approved as voluntary); and fixed-wing
training aircraft maintain current
patterns east of the airport (approved as
voluntary). Additionally nine (9)
measure contained in the Future Noise
Abatement/Land Use Control
Recommendations were approved.
These determinations are set forth-in
detail in a Record of Approval signed by
the Acting Associate Administrator for
Airports, ARP–1, on April 28, 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 administrative offices of the
Collin County Regional Airport. The
Record of Approval also will be
available on-line at https://www.faa.gov/
