Federal Aviation Administration
Approval of Noise Compatibility
Program; Ocala International Airport;
Ocala, FL
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the Noise Compatibility
Program submitted by the City of Ocala
under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. (the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act, hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’)
and 14 CFR 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 28, 2008,
the FAA determined that the noise
exposure maps submitted by the City of
Ocala under part 150 were in
compliance with applicable
requirements. On June 23, 2008, the
FAA approved the Ocala International
Airport noise compatibility program. All
of the recommendations of the program
were approved. No program elements
relating to new or revised flight
procedures for noise abatement were
proposed by the airport operator.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date
of the FAA’s approval of the Ocala
International Airport Noise
Compatibility Program is June 23, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Lindy McDowell, Federal Aviation
Administration, Orlando Airports
District Office, 5950 Hazeltine National
Drive, Suite 400, Orlando, Florida
32822, phone number: 407–812–6331.
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 Ocala
International Airport, effective June 23,
2008.
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
E:\FR\FM\17JYN1.SGM

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
Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) part
150 is a local program, not a Federal
Program. The FAA does not substitute
its judgment for that of the airport
operator with respect to which measure
should be recommended for action. The
FAA’s approval or disapproval of FAR
part 150 program recommendations is
measured according to the standards
expressed in FAR part 150 and the Act,
and is limited to the following
determinations:
a. The Noise Compatibility Program
was developed in accordance with the
provisions and procedures of FAR 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
FAR Part 150, Section 1505. 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
assessment of the proposed action.
Approval does not constitute a
commitment by the FAA to financially
assist in the implementation of the
VerDate Aug<31>2005

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 Airports District
Office in Orlando, Florida.
City of Ocala submitted to the FAA on
October 2, 2007, the Noise Exposure
Maps, descriptions, and other
documentation produced during the
noise compatibility planning study
conducted from August, 2004, through
October, 2005. The Ocala International
Airport Noise Exposure Maps were
determined by FAA to be in compliance
with applicable requirements on
December 28, 2007. Notice of this
determination was published in the
Federal Register on December 28, 2007.
The Ocala International Airport study
contains a proposed Noise
Compatibility Program comprised of
actions designed for phased
implementation by airport management
and adjacent jurisdictions from the year
2007 to the year 2012. It was requested
that 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 December 28, 2007, and
was required by a provisions 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
seven (7) proposed actions for noise
mitigation on and 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 June 23,
2008.
Outright approval was granted for all
of the specific program elements.
Mitigation measures approved include:
Land Use Measures
1. Update City of Ocala Land
Development Regulations
Prevent future development of noise
sensitive uses within the 60 DNL and
greater noise contours. (NCP, pages ES–
4, 96, 97; and Table ES–1.)
FAA Action: Approved. This is within
the authority of the local land use
jurisdictions; the Federal government
does not control local land use. Outside
the DNL 65 dB noise contour, FAA as
a matter of policy encourages local
efforts to prevent new noncompatible

development immediately abutting the
DNL 65 dB contour and to provide a
buffer for possible growth in noise
contours beyond the forecast period.
2. Land Use Mitigation Program
Purchase developed and undeveloped
land within the DNL 65dB and greater
noise contours. (NCP, pages ES–4, 65,
66, 97; Figures 11.4, 11.5; and Tables
ES–1, 9.2, 9.3, 11.4.)
FAA Action: Approved. Acquisitions
are limited to existing non-compatible
land uses located with in the 65 DNL
noise contour of the approved NEMs,
and are consistent with FAA’s 1998
remedial mitigation policy (63 FR
16409). The specific identification of
structures recommended for inclusion
in the program and specific definition of
the scope of the program will be
required prior to approval for Federal
funding. Approval of this measure does
not commit the FAA to future Federal
funding assistance.
3. Redevelopment Program
Redevelop land purchases as part of
the Land Use Mitigation Program. (NCP,
pages ES–4, 101, 107; and Table ES–1.)
Ensures that any re-development or reuse of land purchased as part of the
Land Use Mitigation Program will be
compatible with airport operations.
FAA Action: Approved. Eligibility for
Federal funding of any re-use/redevelopment program will be
determined at the time of application.
4. Public Notification
Advertise noise exposure contours
and availability of Part 150 documents
local newspapers 3 times each year.
(NCP, pages ES–4, 101, 102; and Table
ES–1.)
FAA Action: Approved.
Program Management Measures
1. Pilot Education Program
Development, publication and
distribution of informational materials
for pilots outlining noise abatement
policies. (NCP, pages ES–4, 104; and
Table ES–1.)
FAA Action: Approved. Inserts or
other information must not be construed
as mandatory air traffic procedures.
Prior to release, language in the
brochure shall be reviewed for wording
and content by the appropriate FAA
office. The content of the brochure is
subject to specific approval by
appropriate FAA officials outside of the
FAR Part 150 process and is not
approved in advance by this
determination.

3. Periodic NCP Review
Review of operational activity and
NCP implementation to assist in
determining future NEM/NCP update
timing. (NCP, pages ES–4, 105; and
Table ES–1.)
FAA Action: Approved. If made
necessary by NEM changes, an update to
the NCP would address requirements of
150.23(e)(9). Section 150.21(d), as
amended, states that the NEM should be
updated if there is either a substantial
new noncompatible use within the DNL
65 dB contour, or if there is a significant
reduction in noise over existing
noncompatible land uses [69 FR 57622,
dated 9/24/04].
These determinations are set forth in
detail in a Record of Approval signed by
the FAA on June 23, 2008. The Record
of Approval, as well as other evaluation

operations at John F. Kennedy
VerDate Aug<31>2005
21:03 Jul 16, 2008
Jkt 214001
International Airport (JFK) and Newark
Liberty International Airport (EWR). By
Orders dated January 15 and May 15,
2008, the FAA restricted the number of
scheduled operations respectively at
JFK and EWR. These orders were a
result of persistent congestion and
delays at JFK and EWR during the peak
operating hours, as well as a dramatic
projected increase in fight delays at both
airports during the summer of 2008 if
proposed schedules were implemented
as requested by carriers. The FAA
recently published a notice of proposed
rulemaking that addresses the operating
limits of scheduled and unscheduled
operations at both airports for the longer
term. The FAA believes that in the
interim it is necessary to limit
unscheduled operations, as even the
addition of a few operations in the
critical peak hours can result in added
congestion and delay. The intended
effect of this action would be consistent
with the previously issued Orders
governing scheduled operations. This
final Order would take effect at 6 a.m.,
Eastern Time, on August 28, 2008, and
would expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern
Time, on October 24, 2009.
This proposed Order would
implement a reservation system to limit
unscheduled operations at the airports
and includes special provisions for
public charter operations. A final Order
would be enforceable under the FAA’s
civil penalty authority.

Federal Aviation Administration
Approval of Noise Compatibility Program; Ocala International
Airport; Ocala, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the Noise Compatibility Program submitted by the City of
Ocala under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. (the Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR 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 28, 2008, the FAA determined that the noise
exposure maps submitted by the City of Ocala under part 150 were in
compliance with applicable requirements. On June 23, 2008, the FAA
approved the Ocala International Airport noise compatibility program.
All of the recommendations of the program were approved. No program
elements relating to new or revised flight procedures for noise
abatement were proposed by the airport operator.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the FAA's approval of the
Ocala International Airport Noise Compatibility Program is June 23,
2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Lindy McDowell, Federal Aviation
Administration, Orlando Airports District Office, 5950 Hazeltine
National Drive, Suite 400, Orlando, Florida 32822, phone number: 407-
812-6331. 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 Ocala
International Airport, effective June 23, 2008.
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
[[Page 41155]]
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 Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) part 150 is a local program,
not a Federal Program. The FAA does not substitute its judgment for
that of the airport operator with respect to which measure should be
recommended for action. The FAA's approval or disapproval of FAR part
150 program recommendations is measured according to the standards
expressed in FAR part 150 and the Act, and is limited to the following
determinations:
a. The Noise Compatibility Program was developed in accordance with
the provisions and procedures of FAR 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 FAR Part 150, Section
1505. 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 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 Airports District Office in Orlando, Florida.
City of Ocala submitted to the FAA on October 2, 2007, the Noise
Exposure Maps, descriptions, and other documentation produced during
the noise compatibility planning study conducted from August, 2004,
through October, 2005. The Ocala International Airport Noise Exposure
Maps were determined by FAA to be in compliance with applicable
requirements on December 28, 2007. Notice of this determination was
published in the Federal Register on December 28, 2007.
The Ocala International Airport study contains a proposed Noise
Compatibility Program comprised of actions designed for phased
implementation by airport management and adjacent jurisdictions from
the year 2007 to the year 2012. It was requested that 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
December 28, 2007, and was required by a provisions 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 seven (7) proposed actions for
noise mitigation on and 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 June 23, 2008.
Outright approval was granted for all of the specific program
elements. Mitigation measures approved include:
Land Use Measures
1. Update City of Ocala Land Development Regulations
Prevent future development of noise sensitive uses within the 60
DNL and greater noise contours. (NCP, pages ES-4, 96, 97; and Table ES-
1.)
FAA Action: Approved. This is within the authority of the local
land use jurisdictions; the Federal government does not control local
land use. Outside the DNL 65 dB noise contour, FAA as a matter of
policy encourages local efforts to prevent new noncompatible
development immediately abutting the DNL 65 dB contour and to provide a
buffer for possible growth in noise contours beyond the forecast
period.
2. Land Use Mitigation Program
Purchase developed and undeveloped land within the DNL 65dB and
greater noise contours. (NCP, pages ES-4, 65, 66, 97; Figures 11.4,
11.5; and Tables ES-1, 9.2, 9.3, 11.4.)
FAA Action: Approved. Acquisitions are limited to existing non-
compatible land uses located with in the 65 DNL noise contour of the
approved NEMs, and are consistent with FAA's 1998 remedial mitigation
policy (63 FR 16409). The specific identification of structures
recommended for inclusion in the program and specific definition of the
scope of the program will be required prior to approval for Federal
funding. Approval of this measure does not commit the FAA to future
Federal funding assistance.
3. Redevelopment Program
Redevelop land purchases as part of the Land Use Mitigation
Program. (NCP, pages ES-4, 101, 107; and Table ES-1.) Ensures that any
re-development or re-use of land purchased as part of the Land Use
Mitigation Program will be compatible with airport operations.
FAA Action: Approved. Eligibility for Federal funding of any re-
use/re-development program will be determined at the time of
application.
4. Public Notification

documents local newspapers 3 times each year. (NCP, pages ES-4, 101,
102; and Table ES-1.)
FAA Action: Approved.
Program Management Measures
1. Pilot Education Program
Development, publication and distribution of informational
materials for pilots outlining noise abatement policies. (NCP, pages
ES-4, 104; and Table ES-1.)
FAA Action: Approved. Inserts or other information must not be
construed as mandatory air traffic procedures. Prior to release,
language in the brochure shall be reviewed for wording and content by

2. Community Information Program
Development, publication and distribution of informational
materials for residents and businesses outlining airport noise
abatement efforts. (NCP, pages ES-4, 104, 105; and Table ES-1.)
FAA Action: Approved.
3. Periodic NCP Review
Review of operational activity and NCP implementation to assist in
determining future NEM/NCP update timing. (NCP, pages ES-4, 105; and
Table ES-1.)
FAA Action: Approved. If made necessary by NEM changes, an update
to the NCP would address requirements of 150.23(e)(9). Section
150.21(d), as amended, states that the NEM should be updated if there
is either a substantial new noncompatible use within the DNL 65 dB
contour, or if there is a significant reduction in noise over existing
noncompatible land uses [69 FR 57622, dated 9/24/04].
