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 acton 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 Detroit Airports
District Office in Romulus, Michigan.
Columbus Regional Airport Authority
submitted to the FAA on December 21,
2006 the noise exposure maps,
descriptions, and other documentation
produced during the noise compatibility
planning study conducted from 2005
through 2006. The Rickenbacker
International Airport noise exposure
maps were determined by FAA to be in
compliance with applicable
requirements on January 25, 2007.
Notice of this determination was
published in the Federal Register on
February 6, 2007 (FR Doc. 07–507 Filed
2–5–07; 8:45 am).
The Rickenbacker International
Airport study contains a proposed noise
compatibility program comprised of
actions designed for phased
implementation by airport management
and adjacent jurisdictions starting in
2007. 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 January 25, 2007 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 program contained
thirteen (13) proposed actions for noise
mitigation on and/or 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 July 9,
2007.
Outright approval was granted for all
of the specific program elements. These
elements were: Straight out departures
of itinerant aircraft from Runway 23L/R
until reaching 3,000 feet mean sea level
before turning on course; Formalize
civil noise abatement procedures which
include: right turns to a 070-degree
heading after departing to the northeast;
and observing a preferential reverse
flow runway use for civil jet aircraft;
Formalize military noise abatement
procedures, which include: right turns
to a 070-degree heading after departing
to the northeast; preferential southwest
flow for touch-and-go operations; and
observing preferential reverse flow use;
Develop an Airport Land Use
Management District (ALUMD) based on
the most recent Future 60 Day-Night
Average Sound Level (DNL) Noise
Exposure Map/Noise Compatibility
Program (NEM/NCP) noise contour,
natural geographic and jurisdictional
boundaries; Implement land use
controls to discourage residential
development and encourage airport
compatible development within the
ALUMD; Offer acquisition to eligible
undeveloped properties within the 65DNL noise contour of the Future (2011)
NEM/NCP; For those undeveloped
properties that are offered but unwilling
to be acquired through LU–20, offer
avigation easements to restrict the
development of incompatible land uses
within the 65-DNL noise contour of the
Future (2011) NEM/NCP: Seek
cooperation from the Board of Realtors
to participate in a voluntary fair
disclosure program for the property
located within the ALUMD; Establish a
Noise Abatement Committee; Establish/
continue a noise complaint response
program; Periodic review and update of
the NEM and NCP; Develop a public
information program to communicate
information about the NCP; and Provide
for updates/enhancement of the CRAA

a.m. to 4:15 p.m., e.t., Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
conformance with 23 U.S.C. 144(r), the
FHWA has produced a report that
summarizes the types of construction
materials used in new bridge
construction and bridge rehabilitation
projects. Data on Federal-aid and nonFederal-aid highway bridges are
included in the report for completeness.
The December 2006 National Bridge
Inventory (NBI) dataset was used to
identify the material types for bridges
that were new or replaced within the
defined time period. The FHWA’s
Financial Management Information
System (FMIS) and the 2006 NBI were
used to identify the material types for
bridges that were rehabilitated within
the defined time period. Currently
preventative maintenance projects are
included in the rehabilitation totals.
The report, which is available at
https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/bridge/
britab.htm, consists of the following
tables:
• Construction Materials for New and
Replaced Bridges, a summary report
which includes Federal-aid highways
and non-Federal-aid highways built in
2004 and 2005.
• Construction Materials for
Rehabilitated Bridges, a summary report
which includes Federal-aid and nonFederal-aid highways rehabilitated in
2004 and 2005.
• Construction Materials for
Combined New, Replaced and
Rehabilitated Bridges, a summary report
which combines the first two tables
cited above.
• Federal-aid Highways: Construction
Materials for New and Replaced Bridges
2004, a detailed State-by-State report
with counts and areas for Federal-aid
bridges built or replaced in 2004.
• Non-Federal-aid Highways:
Construction Materials for New and
Replaced Bridges 2004, a detailed Stateby-State report with counts and areas for
non-Federal-aid bridges built or
replaced in 2004.
• Federal-aid Highways: Construction

with counts and areas for Federal-aid
bridges built or replaced in 2005.
• Non-Federal-Aid Highways:
Construction Materials for New and

• Federal-aid Highways: Construction
Materials for Rehabilitated Bridges
2005, a detailed State-by-State report
with counts and areas for rehabilitated
Federal-aid bridges 2005.
• Non-Federal-aid Highways:
Construction Materials for Rehabilitated
Bridges 2005, a detailed State-by-State
report with counts and areas for
rehabilitated non-Federal-aid bridges
types in 2005.
• Federal-aid Highways: Construction
Materials for New, Replaced and
Rehabilitated Bridges 2004, which
combines the 2004 reports on new,
replaced and rehabilitated Federal-aid
bridges.
• Non-Federal-aid Highways:
Construction Materials for New,
Replaced and Rehabilitated Bridges
2004, which combines the 2004 reports
on new, replaced and rehabilitated nonFederal-aid bridges.
• Federal-aid Highways: Construction
Materials for New, Replaced and
Rehabilitated Bridges 2005, which
combines the 2005 reports on new,
replaced and rehabilitated Federal-aid
bridges.
• Non-Federal-aid Highways:
Construction Materials for New
Replaced and Rehabilitated Bridges
2005, which combines the 2005 reports
on new, replaced and rehabilitated nonFederal-aid bridges.
The tables provide data for 2 years:
2004 and 2005. The 2004 data is
considered complete for new and
rehabilitated bridges, with a minimal
likelihood of upward changes in the
totals. The 2005 data is considered
partially complete for new bridges and
complete for rehabilitated bridges,
because many new bridges built in 2005
will not appear in the NBI until they are
placed into service the following year.
Therefore, next year’s report will
include 2005’s data on new bridge
construction, because the data will be
complete.
Each table displays simple counts of
bridges and total bridge deck area. Total
bridge deck area is measured in square
meters, by multiplying the bridge length
by the deck width out-to-out. The data
is categorized by the following material
types, which are identified in the NBI:
Steel, concrete, pre-stressed concrete
and other. The category ‘‘Other’’
includes wood, timber, masonry,
