comment. The FAA is also announcing
the availability of the Noise Analysis in
major local newspapers in the vicinity
of FLL.
Background
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood
International Airport (FLL) is owned
and operated by, and lies within,
Broward County, Florida. The cities of
Dania Beach, Hollywood, Davie, and
Fort Lauderdale and adjacent, or in
close proximity, to the airport. The
airport is bordered by Interstate 595 to
the north, Griffin Road to the south, U.S.
Route 1 to the east and Interstate 95 to
the west.
In 1989, FAA accepted Noise
Exposure Maps (NEMs) submitted by
Broward County for FLL. FAA also
received and approved a Noise
Compatibility Program (NCP) for FLL
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq., as
implemented by 14 CFR part 150 (part
150). The FAA reviews airport noise
compatibility programs for consistency
with statutory and regulatory criteria. 65
FR 43802, 43809 (July 14, 2000). To
qualify for approval, program measures,
among other things, (1) Must be
reasonably consistent with the goals of
reducing existing noncompatible land
uses around the airport and of
preventing the introduction of
additional noncompatible land uses; (2)
must not derogate safety or adversely
affect the safe and efficient use of
airspace; (3) must not impose an undue
burden on interstate or foreign
commerce; (4) must not be unjustly
discriminatory or violate other airport
grant agreement assurances; and (5)
must be consistent with the powers and
responsibilities of the FAA
Administrator. The FAA must approve
NCPs that meet the specified criteria.
FLL’s approved 1989 NCP included an
informal runway use program. Under
this runway use program the
northernmost parallel runway at FLL,
Runway 9L/27R, was designated as the
‘‘preferred runway’’ for turbojet
departures and arrivals. FLL has three
runways, two parallel east-west
runways and a crosswind runway
(generally running from the northwest
to the southeast). The northernmost
parallel runway is as noted above; the
southernmost parallel runway is 9R/
27L; the crosswind runway is 13/31.
Pursuant to FAA Order 8400.9,
National Safety and Operational Criteria
for Runway Use Programs, and FAA
order 7110.65M, ‘‘Air Traffic Control’’,
Pilot/Controller Glossary, a runway use
program is a runway selection plan
designed to enhance noise abatement
efforts. The Air Traffic Service (now
‘‘Air Traffic Operations’’) administers
E:\FR\FM\31OCN1.SGM
31OCN1
63830
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 210 / Tuesday, October 31, 2006 / Notices
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
runway use programs as ‘‘Formal’’ or
‘‘Informal.’’ Formal programs are
defined and acknowledged in a Letter of
Understanding between the Office of
Flight Operations, Air Traffic Service,
the airport proprietor, and the users.
Once established, participation in a
formal program is mandatory for aircraft
operators and pilots as provided for in
14 CFR 91.129(h). An informal runway
use program does not require a Letter of
Understanding, and participation in the
program is voluntary for aircraft
operators/pilots.
In 1995, Broward County submitted
revised NEMs and a revised NCP for
FLL. The NCP included a
recommendation to continue the
informal runway use program. FAA
approved continuation of the informal
runway use program as a voluntary
measure. About 10 years later, by letter
dated June 23, 2005, FAA advised
Broward County that air traffic had
recently increased to levels that
periodically exceeded the capacity of
the noise abatement runway, 9L/27R,
resulting in delays affecting the national
airspace system. FAA announced that
the non-preferred runways would
experience an increase in use when the
capacity of the preferred runway was
exceeded in the future. The June 23,
2005, letter expressly noted that FAA
was not proposing to change the
informal runway use program; however,
when demand for the preferred runway
exceeded its capacity, FAA would make
use of all available runways. Prior to
June 23, 2005, occasionally Runway 13/
31, and more frequently Runway 9L/
27R, were made available for use by
turbojet aircraft in some situations. The
County specifically agreed to allow use
of Runway 13/31 when Runway 9L/27R
was being resurfaced and to allow use
of both Runway 13/31 and 9R/27L
between three and four hours per year
during air-shows. In addition, Runway
13/31 was used by turbojet aircraft
during aircraft emergencies, crosswind
conditions, and severe weather
conditions. In recent years Runway 9R/
27L has been used for turbojet aircraft
on a limited basis, during peak demand
hours.
Runway use at FLL since June 23,
2005, can generally be described as
follows: In the early part of the day, air
carrier and turbojet traffic primarily
consists of arrivals, with relatively few
departures. The capacity of the
preferred runway is typically not
exceeded during this period. As the day
progresses, the number of air carrier and
turbojet arrivals progressively increases
while air carrier and turbojet departures
significantly increases and the capacity
of 9R/27L may be exceeded. It is at this
point that runway 9R/27L is utilized to
alleviate departure and/or arrival
backlog that runway 9L/27R cannot
accommodate. Occasionally, the
crosswind runway must be tactically
used to alleviate departure and/or
arrival baggage. This permits ATO to
reduce the departure/arrival backlog
more quickly and allows the airport to
return to operating on the parallel
runways. Typically, in the latter part of
the day/evening, the air carrier and
turbojet traffic levels off and the
preferred runway is eventually able to
handle the air carrier and turbojet traffic
demand. As shown in the runway and
utilization data described in this
Request for Public Comment, the change
in use of runway 13/31 following June
23, 2005, has been minor and did not
change the noise contour. Setting aside
the proposed runway development that
is the subject of the current EIS, FAA
does not anticipate any major changes
in future runway utilization unless there
is a major change at the airport (i.e.,
number of operations, runway
characteristics, etc.).
This Noise Analysis discloses the
noise impacts at FLL during a 12-month
period from July 2003 to June 2004 and
a 12-month period from April 2005 to
March 2006. The Noise Analysis
includes two maps that identify land
uses in areas surrounding FLL that
experience noise levels of 65, 70 and 75
DNL dB or greater. The noise contours
are superimposed over the land uses.
The 2004 and 2005 maps are available
on FAA’s Web site, as noted below.
The first map represents the noise
conditions at FLL for the 12-month
period from July 2003 through June
2004 (the 2004 map: See https://
www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/
airports/regional_guidance/southern/
environmental/media/
fll_exhib1_2004_baseline.pdf). Between
July 2003 and June 2004, 304,430
annual operations occurred at FLL,
which equates to 834 average-annual
Summary units 2004
Multi family
day operations. The second map
represents the noise conditions at FLL
for a 12-month period between April
2005 and March 2006 (the 2005 map:
See https://www.faa.gov/
airports_airtraffic/airports/
regional_guidance/southern/
environmental/media/
fll_exhib2_2005_baseline.pdf). Between
April 2005 and March 2006, 320,400
annual operations occurred at FLL,
which constitutes 878 average-annual
day operations. A comparison of the two
maps reflects how noise impacts
changed between 2004 and 2005,
including any effect of increasing use of
the non-preferred runways during
periods when demand exceeds the
capacity of the north parallel runway
(See https://www.faa.gov/
airports_airtraffic/airports/
regional_guidance/southern/
environmental/media/
fll_exhib3_2004_2005_baseline.pdf).
Each map was generated using FAA’s
Integrated Noise Model (INM) Version
6.1. Inputs to the INM include the
runway length and direction, number of
aircraft operations (the landing or takeoff of an aircraft is considered one
‘‘operation’’) during the period
evaluated, the types of aircraft flown,
the time of day when they were flown,
how frequently each runway was used
for arriving and departing aircraft, the
routes of flight used to and from the
runways (flight tracks), and ground
runup activity. The INM calculates
noise exposure for the area around the
airport and outputs contours of equal
noise exposure. The same flight tracks
were used in preparing both maps
because no change in the flight tracks
occurred during the relevant period.
Aircraft types and times of operations
were determined using Official Airline
Guide (OAG) data, landing fee reports
for the relevant periods, and the
Airports Noise and Operations
Management System (ANOMS) data.
The ANOMS data was provided by
Broward County.
The number of housing units, number
of people, and area within each noise
exposure contour for 2004 is illustrated
below. This data compiled using parcel
records from the Broward County
property appraiser’s office and through
a review of aerial photography.

Comparison of 2004 and 2005 Noise
Contours:
Number of Operations and Fleet Mix:
Annual operations increased by 15,970
between July 2003 and March 2006,
which results in an increase of 44
average-annual day operations. This
increase occurred in the air carrier and
commuter/air tai categories, while the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:25 Oct 30, 2006
Jkt 211001
general aviation category experienced a
decrease. In addition to the increase in
operations, there was also a change in
the fleet mix of the air carrier and
commute/air taxi categories. The air
carrier fleet experienced a reduction in
the older noisier aircraft, such as the
727–200 (Hushkitted), 737–200
(Hushkitted) and the MD90 aircraft, and
an increase in newer quieter aircraft,
such as Airbus 319, 320 and 321
aircraft. The commute/air taxi agency
experienced an increase in regional jets
and turboprop aircraft. The percentage
of nighttime operations decreased from
PO 00000
Frm 00081
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the 2004 Map to the 2005 Map. The
percent of nighttime operations for the
2004 Map was approximately 11 percent
while the percentage of nighttime
operations for the 2005 Map decreased
to approximately 10 percent.
Runway Utilization: The runway
utilization at FLL is comparable
between the period covered by the 2004
Map and the 2005 Map. The minor
difference in runway utilization
percentages is within a normal variance
for a large airport when comparing data
from different time periods. The 2005
map reflects increase use of Runway 9R

Flight Tracks: No change in the flight
tracks occurred between July 2003 and
March 2006.
Ground Runup Noise: There was a
small increase in the number of engine
runups that is reflected in the 2005
Map. This change was in proportion to
the increase or decrease in the overall
operations of the types of aircraft
performing the runups.
Noise Contours: The 2005 noise
contour is smaller than the 2004 contour
due to the changes in fleet mix and the
decrease in the percentage of nighttime
operations. The shape of the noise
contours off all runway ends remains
the same, which is reflective of no
significant changes in runway end
utilization or flight tracks. The minor
change in the utilization of Runway 13/
31 did not change the noise contour.
The two areas where differences in
the noise contours occur are to the west
of the airport, off Runway 9L/27R and
to the northwest of the airport, off
Runway 13/31 (See

Request for Public Comment on Noise Analysis for Fort Lauderdale-
Hollywood International Airport, Broward County, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is requesting public
comments on a Noise Analysis that was prepared for the Fort Lauderdale-
Hollywood International Airport (FLL). This Analysis identifies noise
impacts in the areas surrounding FLL during a 12-month period from July
2003 to June 2004 and a 12-month period from April 2005 to March 2006.
This Noise Analysis is being provided for public comment as part of a
settlement agreement between the FAA and Broward County related to
runway utilization at FLL.
DATES: The public is invited to comment on this Noise Analysis on or
before November 30, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Address your comments to the Docket Management System, U.S.
Department of Transportation, Room Plaza 401, 400 Seventh Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20590-0001. You must identify the docket number FAA-

Noise Model (INM) input data used in preparing the noise contours is
available upon request from the point of contact.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Noise Analysis is separate and
independent from the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process
initiated by the FAA for a proposed runway project on January 19, 2005.
70 FR 3095 (January 19, 2005). The 2004 Map was previously provided for
public review during the scoping process for the above EIS. The 2005
Map derives from noise analysis conducted for the above EIS.
The purpose of this Noise is to notify Federal, State, local
government agencies, and the public about the availability of the Noise
Analysis and the opportunity for review and comment. The FAA is also
announcing the availability of the Noise Analysis in major local
newspapers in the vicinity of FLL.
Background
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is owned and
operated by, and lies within, Broward County, Florida. The cities of
Dania Beach, Hollywood, Davie, and Fort Lauderdale and adjacent, or in
close proximity, to the airport. The airport is bordered by Interstate
595 to the north, Griffin Road to the south, U.S. Route 1 to the east
and Interstate 95 to the west.
In 1989, FAA accepted Noise Exposure Maps (NEMs) submitted by
Broward County for FLL. FAA also received and approved a Noise
Compatibility Program (NCP) for FLL pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 47501 et
seq., as implemented by 14 CFR part 150 (part 150). The FAA reviews
airport noise compatibility programs for consistency with statutory and
regulatory criteria. 65 FR 43802, 43809 (July 14, 2000). To qualify for
approval, program measures, among other things, (1) Must be reasonably
consistent with the goals of reducing existing noncompatible land uses
around the airport and of preventing the introduction of additional
noncompatible land uses; (2) must not derogate safety or adversely
affect the safe and efficient use of airspace; (3) must not impose an
undue burden on interstate or foreign commerce; (4) must not be
unjustly discriminatory or violate other airport grant agreement
assurances; and (5) must be consistent with the powers and
responsibilities of the FAA Administrator. The FAA must approve NCPs
that meet the specified criteria. FLL's approved 1989 NCP included an
informal runway use program. Under this runway use program the
northernmost parallel runway at FLL, Runway 9L/27R, was designated as
the ``preferred runway'' for turbojet departures and arrivals. FLL has
three runways, two parallel east-west runways and a crosswind runway
(generally running from the northwest to the southeast). The
northernmost parallel runway is as noted above; the southernmost
parallel runway is 9R/27L; the crosswind runway is 13/31.
Pursuant to FAA Order 8400.9, National Safety and Operational
Criteria for Runway Use Programs, and FAA order 7110.65M, ``Air Traffic
Control'', Pilot/Controller Glossary, a runway use program is a runway
selection plan designed to enhance noise abatement efforts. The Air
Traffic Service (now ``Air Traffic Operations'') administers
[[Page 63830]]
runway use programs as ``Formal'' or ``Informal.'' Formal programs are
defined and acknowledged in a Letter of Understanding between the
Office of Flight Operations, Air Traffic Service, the airport
proprietor, and the users. Once established, participation in a formal
program is mandatory for aircraft operators and pilots as provided for
in 14 CFR 91.129(h). An informal runway use program does not require a
Letter of Understanding, and participation in the program is voluntary
for aircraft operators/pilots.
In 1995, Broward County submitted revised NEMs and a revised NCP
for FLL. The NCP included a recommendation to continue the informal
runway use program. FAA approved continuation of the informal runway
use program as a voluntary measure. About 10 years later, by letter
dated June 23, 2005, FAA advised Broward County that air traffic had
recently increased to levels that periodically exceeded the capacity of
the noise abatement runway, 9L/27R, resulting in delays affecting the
national airspace system. FAA announced that the non-preferred runways
would experience an increase in use when the capacity of the preferred
runway was exceeded in the future. The June 23, 2005, letter expressly
noted that FAA was not proposing to change the informal runway use
program; however, when demand for the preferred runway exceeded its
capacity, FAA would make use of all available runways. Prior to June
23, 2005, occasionally Runway 13/31, and more frequently Runway 9L/27R,
were made available for use by turbojet aircraft in some situations.
The County specifically agreed to allow use of Runway 13/31 when Runway
9L/27R was being resurfaced and to allow use of both Runway 13/31 and
9R/27L between three and four hours per year during air-shows. In
addition, Runway 13/31 was used by turbojet aircraft during aircraft
emergencies, crosswind conditions, and severe weather conditions. In
recent years Runway 9R/27L has been used for turbojet aircraft on a
limited basis, during peak demand hours.
Runway use at FLL since June 23, 2005, can generally be described
as follows: In the early part of the day, air carrier and turbojet
traffic primarily consists of arrivals, with relatively few departures.
The capacity of the preferred runway is typically not exceeded during
this period. As the day progresses, the number of air carrier and
turbojet arrivals progressively increases while air carrier and
turbojet departures significantly increases and the capacity of 9R/27L
may be exceeded. It is at this point that runway 9R/27L is utilized to
alleviate departure and/or arrival backlog that runway 9L/27R cannot
accommodate. Occasionally, the crosswind runway must be tactically used
to alleviate departure and/or arrival baggage. This permits ATO to
reduce the departure/arrival backlog more quickly and allows the
airport to return to operating on the parallel runways. Typically, in
the latter part of the day/evening, the air carrier and turbojet
traffic levels off and the preferred runway is eventually able to
handle the air carrier and turbojet traffic demand. As shown in the
runway and utilization data described in this Request for Public
Comment, the change in use of runway 13/31 following June 23, 2005, has
been minor and did not change the noise contour. Setting aside the
proposed runway development that is the subject of the current EIS, FAA
does not anticipate any major changes in future runway utilization
unless there is a major change at the airport (i.e., number of
operations, runway characteristics, etc.).
This Noise Analysis discloses the noise impacts at FLL during a 12-
month period from July 2003 to June 2004 and a 12-month period from
April 2005 to March 2006. The Noise Analysis includes two maps that
identify land uses in areas surrounding FLL that experience noise
levels of 65, 70 and 75 DNL dB or greater. The noise contours are
superimposed over the land uses. The 2004 and 2005 maps are available
on FAA's Web site, as noted below.
The first map represents the noise conditions at FLL for the 12-
month period from July 2003 through June 2004 (the 2004 map: See http:/
/www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/airports/regional_guidance/southern/
environmental/media/fll_exhib1_2004_baseline.pdf). Between July 2003
and June 2004, 304,430 annual operations occurred at FLL, which equates
to 834 average-annual day operations. The second map represents the
noise conditions at FLL for a 12-month period between April 2005 and
March 2006 (the 2005 map: See https://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/
airports/regional_guidance/southern/environmental/media/fll_exhib2_
2005_baseline.pdf). Between April 2005 and March 2006, 320,400 annual
operations occurred at FLL, which constitutes 878 average-annual day
operations. A comparison of the two maps reflects how noise impacts
changed between 2004 and 2005, including any effect of increasing use
of the non-preferred runways during periods when demand exceeds the
capacity of the north parallel runway (See https://www.faa.gov/
airports_airtraffic/airports/regional_guidance/southern/
environmental/media/fll_exhib3_2004_2005_baseline.pdf).
Each map was generated using FAA's Integrated Noise Model (INM)
Version 6.1. Inputs to the INM include the runway length and direction,
number of aircraft operations (the landing or take-off of an aircraft
is considered one ``operation'') during the period evaluated, the types
of aircraft flown, the time of day when they were flown, how frequently
each runway was used for arriving and departing aircraft, the routes of
flight used to and from the runways (flight tracks), and ground runup
activity. The INM calculates noise exposure for the area around the
airport and outputs contours of equal noise exposure. The same flight
tracks were used in preparing both maps because no change in the flight
tracks occurred during the relevant period.
Aircraft types and times of operations were determined using
Official Airline Guide (OAG) data, landing fee reports for the relevant
periods, and the Airports Noise and Operations Management System
(ANOMS) data. The ANOMS data was provided by Broward County.
The number of housing units, number of people, and area within each
noise exposure contour for 2004 is illustrated below. This data
compiled using parcel records from the Broward County property
appraiser's office and through a review of aerial photography.

Approximately 4.9 square miles are within the 2005 Map's 65+ DNL
noise contour. However, 2.2 square miles of that area is over either
airport property or the Atlantic Ocean.
Comparison of 2004 and 2005 Noise Contours:
Number of Operations and Fleet Mix: Annual operations increased by
15,970 between July 2003 and March 2006, which results in an increase
of 44 average-annual day operations. This increase occurred in the air
carrier and commuter/air tai categories, while the general aviation
category experienced a decrease. In addition to the increase in
operations, there was also a change in the fleet mix of the air carrier
and commute/air taxi categories. The air carrier fleet experienced a
reduction in the older noisier aircraft, such as the 727-200
(Hushkitted), 737-200 (Hushkitted) and the MD90 aircraft, and an
increase in newer quieter aircraft, such as Airbus 319, 320 and 321
aircraft. The commute/air taxi agency experienced an increase in
regional jets and turboprop aircraft. The percentage of nighttime
operations decreased from the 2004 Map to the 2005 Map. The percent of
nighttime operations for the 2004 Map was approximately 11 percent
while the percentage of nighttime operations for the 2005 Map decreased
to approximately 10 percent.
Runway Utilization: The runway utilization at FLL is comparable
between the period covered by the 2004 Map and the 2005 Map. The minor
difference in runway utilization percentages is within a normal
variance for a large airport when comparing data from different time
periods. The 2005 map reflects increase use of Runway 9R
[[Page 63832]]
by general aviation jets and commuter propeller aircraft. Runway end
utilization percentages reflect an average annual day.

Department.
Flight Tracks: No change in the flight tracks occurred between July
2003 and March 2006.
Ground Runup Noise: There was a small increase in the number of
engine runups that is reflected in the 2005 Map. This change was in
proportion to the increase or decrease in the overall operations of the
types of aircraft performing the runups.
Noise Contours: The 2005 noise contour is smaller than the 2004
contour due to the changes in fleet mix and the decrease in the
percentage of nighttime operations. The shape of the noise contours off
all runway ends remains the same, which is reflective of no significant
changes in runway end utilization or flight tracks. The minor change in
the utilization of Runway 13/31 did not change the noise contour.
The two areas where differences in the noise contours occur are to
the west of the airport, off Runway 9L/27R and to the northwest of the
airport, off Runway 13/31 (See https://www.faa.gov/airports_
airtraffic/airports/regional_guidance/southern/
environmental/media/fll_exhibx_housing_diff_
2004_2005.pdf). For the area west of the airport, off Runway
9L/27R, a total of nine (9) mobile homes are no longer in the 2005 65
DNL noise contour when compared to the 2004 65 DNL dB noise contour.
For the area northwest of the airport, off Runway 13/31, a total of
thirty-seven (37) homes (consisting of twenty-seven (27) mobile homes,
two (2) multi-family homes with a total of nine (9) units, and eight
(8) single-family homes) are no longer in the 2005 65 DNL dB noise
contour when compared to the 2004 65 DNL dB noise contour.
