Download as PDF rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES 2724 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 13 / Monday, January 22, 2007 / Notices 5M, Comparison of 2004 and 2009 Noise Contours; Table 6–2, Summary of Noise Monitoring Date; Table 6–3, Noise Monitor Sites Ranked by Triangulated Distance from the Aircraft; Table 6–4, Noise Monitor Sites Ranked by Distance from the Ground Path of the Aircraft; Figure 6.2, Noise Monitoring Data vs. INM Prediction; Figure 6.3, Noise Exposure vs. Distance from Aircraft; Figure 6.4, Noise Exposure vs. Distance from Aircraft Ground Path; Table 6.5, Shreveport Regional Airport Air Carrier/ Air Taxi/Commuter Schedule; Table 6.6, Air Cargo Arrivals/Departures; Exhibit 6A, Noise Monitoring Locations. The FAA has determined that these maps for the Shreveport Regional Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on January 12, 2007. The FAA’s determination on an airport operator’s 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 constitute 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 47503 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 47506 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 that submitted those maps, or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which consultation is required under section 47503 of the Act. The FAA has relied on the certification by the airport operator, under § 150.21 of FAR part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has been accomplished. The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for Shreveport Regional Airport, also VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:20 Jan 19, 2007 Jkt 211001 effective on January 12, 2007. 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. The formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, will be completed on or before July 11, 2007. The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be conducted under the provisions of 14 CFR part 150, § 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 uses. 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 are available for examination at the following locations: Federal Aviation Administration, Louisiana/New Mexico Airports Development Office, Room 692, 2601 Meacham Boulevard, Fort Worth, TX 76137–4298; Director of Airports, Shreveport Airport Authority, 5103 Hollywood Avenue, Suite 300, Shreveport, LA 71109. Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, January 12, 2007. Kelvin L. Solco, Manager, Airports Division.
