the requirements of Federal Aviation
Regulations (FAR) Part 150,
promulgated pursuant to the Act, may
submit a noise compatibility program
for FAA approval which sets forth the
measures the operator has taken or
proposes to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the
introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
The FAA has formally received the
noise compatibility program for LAS,
effective on June 9, 2008. The airport
operator has requested that the FAA
review this material and that the noise
mitigation measures, to be implemented
jointly by the airport and surrounding
communities, be approved as a noise
compatibility program under section
47504 of the Act. Preliminary review of
the submitted material indicates that it
conforms to FAR Part 150 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 December 6,
2008.
The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be
conducted under the provisions of 14
CFR Part 150, section 150.33. The
primary considerations in the
evaluation process are whether the
proposed measures may reduce the level
of aviation safety or create an undue
burden on interstate or foreign
commerce, and whether they are
reasonably consistent with obtaining the
goal of reducing existing noncompatible land uses and preventing the
introduction of additional noncompatible land uses.
Interested persons are invited to
comment on the proposed program with
specific reference to these factors. All
comments relating to these factors, 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 and
the proposed noise compatibility
program are available for examination at

contributing element. Early in 2006,
MassHighway presented its current
proposal to acclaim, proposing to
replace the bridge on its existing
alignment, providing a Temporary
Bridge on southern alignment to allow
public safety mutual aid and vehicular
travel. The proposed fixed bridge will
be 7 feet taller than the existing movable
bridge in closed position. This proposal
reduces impacts to the surrounding
area, including the re-drawn Bridge
Village National Register-eligible
Historic District. For these reasons,
FHWA believes that the proper class of
action for the current proposal is a
Categorical Exclusion.
