Federal Aviation Administration
FAA Approval of Noise Compatibility
Program 14 CFR Part 150; Port
Columbus International Airport,
Columbus, OH
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the noise compatibility
program (NCP) submitted by the
Columbus Regional Airport Authority
(CRAA) under the provisions of 49
U.S.C. Sections 47501, et seq. (the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act, hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’)
and 14 CFR Part 150 (Part 150). These
findings are made in recognition of the
description of Federal and nonfederal
responsibilities in Senate Report No.
96–52 (1980). On December 5, 2007 the
FAA determined that the noise exposure
maps submitted by the CRAA under
Part 150 were in compliance with
applicable requirements. On May 19,
2008, the FAA approved the Port
Columbus International Airport noise
compatibility program updates. Twentyone (21) measures were approved or
approved as voluntary. Four (4)
measures required no action. Two (2)
program elements related to new or
revised flight procedures for noise
abatement that were proposed by CRAA.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date
of the FAA’s approval of the Port
Columbus International Airport noise
compatibility program is May 19, 2008.

Katherine S. Jones, Community Planner,
Detroit Airports District Office, Metro
Airport Center, 11677 South Wayne
Road, Suite 107, Romulus, Michigan,
Phone (734) 229–2900. Documents
reflecting this FAA action may be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA has
given its overall approval to the noise
compatibility program for Port
Columbus International Airport,
effective May 19, 2008.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 111 / Monday, June 9, 2008 / Notices
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
Part 150 is a local program, not a
Federal program. The FAA does not
substitute its judgment for that of the
airport sponsor with respect to which
measures should be recommended for
action. The FAA’s approval or
disapproval of Part 150 program
recommendations is measured
according to the standards expressed in
Part 150 and the Act and is limited to
the following:
a. The noise compatibility program
was developed in accordance with the
provisions and procedures of 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
14 CFR 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005

determination 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.
On November 27, 2007, the CRAA
submitted to the FAA the noise
exposure maps, descriptions, and other
documentation produced during the
noise compatibility planning study
conducted in 2006–2007. The Port
Columbus International Airport noise
exposure maps were determined by
FAA to be in compliance with
applicable legal requirements on
December 5, 2007. Notice of this
determination was published in the
Federal Register on December 20, 2007
(FR Doc. 07–6109 Filed 12–19–07; 8:45
a.m.).
The CRAA study contains a proposed
noise compatibility program comprised
of actions designed for phased
implementation by airport management
and local jurisdictions starting in 2008.
It was requested that the FAA evaluate
and approve this material as a NCP as
described in Section 47504 of the Act.
The FAA began its review of the
program on December 5, 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).
The submitted program contained
twenty-seven (27) proposed actions for
noise mitigation on and/or off the
airport which continue or expand the
intent of the 2001 Record of Approval
(ROA) approval. The FAA previously
approved twenty-one (21) of these
measures on January 10, 2001. The 2007
NCP recommends twenty-five (25)
proposed actions for approval and two
(2) actions to be withdrawn. The
proposed actions are a combination of
existing, amended, and new from the
2001 ROA. The FAA completed its
review and determined that the
procedural and substantive
requirements of the Act and Part 150
have been satisfied. The overall
program, therefore, was approved by the
FAA effective May 19, 2008.
Consistent with the 2001 ROA, the
2008 ROA approved all twenty-five (25)
proposed actions in the NCP. Outright
approval was granted for nineteen (19)
program elements. These elements were:

routinely update the noise contours and
periodically update the noise program;
and establish a land use compatibility
task force which meets periodically to
discuss issues relevant to airport noise
compatibility planning. Approval as a
voluntary measure was granted for two
(2) program elements. These elements
were: Increase nighttime use of Runway
10L/28R and amend FAA Tower Order
CMH ATCT 7110.1 to read as follows:
‘‘Unless wind, weather, runway closure,
or loss of NAVAIDs dictate otherwise,
between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.
local time, runways 28L and 10R are
assigned jet aircraft; jet aircraft with
Stage 3 engines may use Runway 10L/
28R for arrival operations between the
hours of 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. local time;
and jet aircraft with Stage 3 engines may
use Runway 10L and 28R after 6 a.m.’’;
and maximize east flow and amend
FAA Tower Order CMH ATCT 7110.lb
and the Airport Facilities Directory to
reflect implementation of the ‘‘east
flow’’ informal preferential runway use
system. No action was taken on two (2)
program elements. These elements were:
Construct a new run-up barrier at the
north airfield, if the EJA (NetJets)
building does not adequately attenuate
jet maintenance run-up noise for
adjacent residential areas located along
1–270; and offer a program for noise
insulation for noncompatibile structures
for noncompatible churches within the
65+ DNL contour for the 2012
NEMINCP condition in exchange for an
avigation easement. No action was
required as the measure relates to flight
procedures under 49 U.S.C. 47504 was
taken on two (2) program elements.
These program elements were:
Implement a 15-degree turn off of
Runway 28R, after crossing the runway
end to a 295-degree heading, only
during peak operating periods when
traffic warrants; and create performancebased overlay procedures for all existing
and proposed arrival/departure

FAA Approval of Noise Compatibility Program 14 CFR Part 150; Port
Columbus International Airport, Columbus, OH
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the noise compatibility program (NCP) submitted by the
Columbus Regional Airport Authority (CRAA) under the provisions of 49
U.S.C. Sections 47501, et seq. (the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act, hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR Part 150 (Part
150). These findings are made in recognition of the description of
Federal and nonfederal responsibilities in Senate Report No. 96-52
(1980). On December 5, 2007 the FAA determined that the noise exposure
maps submitted by the CRAA under Part 150 were in compliance with
applicable requirements. On May 19, 2008, the FAA approved the Port
Columbus International Airport noise compatibility program updates.
Twenty-one (21) measures were approved or approved as voluntary. Four
(4) measures required no action. Two (2) program elements related to
new or revised flight procedures for noise abatement that were proposed
by CRAA.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the FAA's approval of the
Port Columbus International Airport noise compatibility program is May
19, 2008.

Planner, Detroit Airports District Office, Metro Airport Center, 11677
South Wayne Road, Suite 107, Romulus, Michigan, Phone (734) 229-2900.
Documents reflecting this FAA action may be reviewed at this same
location.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA has given
its overall approval to the noise compatibility program for Port
Columbus International Airport, effective May 19, 2008.
[[Page 32623]]
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 Part 150 is a local program, not a Federal program. The FAA does
not substitute its judgment for that of the airport sponsor with
respect to which measures should be recommended for action. The FAA's
approval or disapproval of Part 150 program recommendations is measured
according to the standards expressed in Part 150 and the Act and is
limited to the following:
a. The noise compatibility program was developed in accordance with
the provisions and procedures of 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 non-compatible 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 14 CFR 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 determination
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.
On November 27, 2007, the CRAA submitted to the FAA the noise
exposure maps, descriptions, and other documentation produced during
the noise compatibility planning study conducted in 2006-2007. The Port
Columbus International Airport noise exposure maps were determined by
FAA to be in compliance with applicable legal requirements on December
5, 2007. Notice of this determination was published in the Federal
Register on December 20, 2007 (FR Doc. 07-6109 Filed 12-19-07; 8:45
a.m.).
The CRAA study contains a proposed noise compatibility program
comprised of actions designed for phased implementation by airport
management and local jurisdictions starting in 2008. It was requested
that the FAA evaluate and approve this material as a NCP as described
in Section 47504 of the Act. The FAA began its review of the program on
December 5, 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).
The submitted program contained twenty-seven (27) proposed actions
for noise mitigation on and/or off the airport which continue or expand
the intent of the 2001 Record of Approval (ROA) approval. The FAA
previously approved twenty-one (21) of these measures on January 10,
2001. The 2007 NCP recommends twenty-five (25) proposed actions for
approval and two (2) actions to be withdrawn. The proposed actions are
a combination of existing, amended, and new from the 2001 ROA. The FAA
completed its review and determined that the procedural and substantive
requirements of the Act and Part 150 have been satisfied. The overall
program, therefore, was approved by the FAA effective May 19, 2008.
Consistent with the 2001 ROA, the 2008 ROA approved all twenty-five
(25) proposed actions in the NCP. Outright approval was granted for
nineteen (19) program elements. These elements were: Amend the Port
Columbus International Airport Night Time Aircraft Runway-up Policy to
designate a new run-up location such that EJA's new building will
provide attenuation of jet engine maintenance run-ups for adjacent
residential areas located along 1-270; construct a noise berm/wall;
replacement and potential relocation of Ground Run-up Barrier B
(location/materials/size); offer a program for noise insulation for
noncompatible structures for noncompatible residences within the 65+
DNL contour for Future (2012) Noise Compatibility Program condition, in
exchange for an avigation easement; seek cooperation from the City of
Columbus and Franklin County to amend their land use compatibility
standards to achieve the level of compatibility identified in the
recommended land use compatibility guidelines; seek cooperation from
the City of Columbus and Franklin County to amend the boundaries of the
Airport Environs Overlay (AEO) district to include proposed Airport
Land Use Management District corresponding to the 60 DNL of the 20-year
NCP contour (2023); seek cooperation from the Franklin County, City of
Gahanna, and Jefferson Township to amend the Franklin County zoning
resolution, Section 660.07, Avigation Easement, to require applicants
for rezoning, change of use, or special use permit to convey an
avigation easement to the appropriate Airport; seek cooperation from
Jefferson Township and the City of Gahanna to adopt the proposed
Airport Land Use Management District as part of their official zoning
regulations; seek cooperation from Franklin County, Jefferson Township,
Mifflin Township, and the City of Gahanna to adopt subdivision codes
applicable to the proposed Airport Land Use Management District; seek
cooperation from Franklin County, Jefferson Township, Mifflin Township,
and the City of Gahanna to adopt building codes applicable to the
proposed Airport Land Use Management District; seek cooperation from
the board of realtors to participate in a fair disclosure program for
property located within the proposed Airport Land Use Management
District; periodically place advertisements in a variety of media
outlets delineating the boundaries of the Airport Land Use Management
District; development an Airport Land Use Management District based on
the 2023 Noise Exposure Map/Noise Compatibility Program noise contour,
other geographic, and jurisdictional boundaries; maintain the noise
abatement elements of FAA (Airport Traffic Control Tower) ATCT Tower
Order; maintain the Noise Management Office for noise compatibility

management; maintain an on-going public involvement program regarding
the noise compatibility program; maintain the noise and flight track
monitoring system and expand and upgrade the system as necessary and
add four permanent noise monitoring towers and upgrade the computer
software and hardware as necessary; routinely update the noise contours
and periodically update the noise program; and establish a land use
compatibility task force which meets periodically to discuss issues
relevant to airport noise compatibility planning. Approval as a
voluntary measure was granted for two (2) program elements. These
elements were: Increase nighttime use of Runway 10L/28R and amend FAA
Tower Order CMH ATCT 7110.1 to read as follows: ``Unless wind, weather,
runway closure, or loss of NAVAIDs dictate otherwise, between the hours
of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. local time, runways 28L and 10R are assigned jet
aircraft; jet aircraft with Stage 3 engines may use Runway 10L/28R for
arrival operations between the hours of 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. local time;
and jet aircraft with Stage 3 engines may use Runway 10L and 28R after
6 a.m.''; and maximize east flow and amend FAA Tower Order CMH ATCT
7110.lb and the Airport Facilities Directory to reflect implementation
of the ``east flow'' informal preferential runway use system. No action
was taken on two (2) program elements. These elements were: Construct a
new run-up barrier at the north airfield, if the EJA (NetJets) building
does not adequately attenuate jet maintenance run-up noise for adjacent
residential areas located along 1-270; and offer a program for noise
insulation for noncompatibile structures for noncompatible churches
within the 65+ DNL contour for the 2012 NEMINCP condition in exchange
for an avigation easement. No action was required as the measure
relates to flight procedures under 49 U.S.C. 47504 was taken on two (2)
program elements. These program elements were: Implement a 15-degree
turn off of Runway 28R, after crossing the runway end to a 295-degree
heading, only during peak operating periods when traffic warrants; and
create performance-based overlay procedures for all existing and
proposed arrival/departure procedures (RNAV/RNP/GPS/CDA).
These determinations are set forth in detail in a ROA signed by the
Great Lakes Region Airports Division Manager on May 19, 2008. The ROA,
as well as other evaluation materials and the documents comprising the
submittal, are available for review at the FAA office listed above. The
ROA also will be available online at https://www.faa.gov/airports_
