ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure
map for Waterbury-Oxford Airport, as
submitted by the Connecticut
Department of Transportation under the
provisions of Title I of the Aviation
Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979
(Pub. L. 96–193) and 14 CFR Part 150,
is in compliance with applicable
requirements. The FAA also announces
that it is reviewing a proposed noise
compatibility program that was
submitted for Waterbury-Oxford Airport
under Part 150 in conjunction with the
noise exposure map, and that this
program will be approved or
disapproved on or before May 5, 2009.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date
of the FAA’s determination on the noise
exposure map and of the start of its
review of the associated noise
compatibility program is November 6,
2008. The public comment period ends
on January 5, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
C. Silva, Federal Aviation
Administration, New England Region,
Airports Division, ANE–600, 12 New
England Executive Park, Burlington,
Massachusetts 01803.
Comments on the proposed noise
compatibility program should also be
submitted to the above office.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure map submitted
for Waterbury-Oxford Airport is in
compliance with applicable
requirements of Part 150, effective
November 6, 2008. Further, FAA is
reviewing a proposed noise
compatibility program for that airport
which will be approved or disapproved
on or before May 5, 2009. This notice
also announces the availability of this
program for public review and
comment.
Under Section 103 of Title I of the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act of 1979 (hereinafter referred to as
‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may
submit to the FAA a noise exposure
map which meets applicable regulations
and which depicts non-compatible land
uses as of the date of submission of such
PO 00000
Frm 00139
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

map, a description of projected aircraft
operations, and the ways in which such
operations will affect such map. The Act
requires such map to be developed in
consultation with interested and
affected parties in the local community,
government agencies, and persons using
the airport. An airport operator who has
submitted a noise exposure map that is
found by FAA to be in compliance with
the requirements of Federal Aviation
Regulation (FAR) Part 150, promulgated
pursuant to Title I of the Act, may
submit a noise compatibility program
for FAA approval which sets forth the
measures the operator has taken, or
proposes, for the introduction of
additional non-compatible uses.
The Connecticut Department of
Transportation submitted to the FAA,
on October 9, 2008, a noise exposure
map, descriptions, and other
documentation that were produced
during the Airport Noise Compatibility
Planning (Part 150) study at Bradley
International Airport from September
2004 to October 2008. It was requested
that the FAA review this material as the
noise exposure map, as described in
Section 103(a)(1) of the Act, 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 104(b) of the Act.
The FAA has completed its review of
the noise exposure maps and related
descriptions submitted by Connecticut
Department of Transportation. The
specific maps under consideration were
Figures 5–7, (2007 Baseline Noise
Contours), 5–8 (2012 Baseline Noise
Contours) and 5–9 (2012 NCP Noise
Contours), along with the supporting
documentation in Noise Exposure Map
and Noise Compatibility Program:
Volume 1. The FAA has determined that
the maps for Bradley International
Airport are in compliance with
applicable requirements. This
determination is effective on November
6, 2008.
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 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 103 of the Act, it should be
noted that the FAA is not involved in

rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 231 / Monday, December 1, 2008 / Notices
any way in determining the relative
locations of specific properties with
regard to the depicted noise contours, or
in interpreting the noise exposure map
to resolve questions concerning, for
example, which properties should be
covered by the provisions of Section 107
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 a noise exposure map.
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 the map, or with those
public agencies and planning agencies
with which consultation is required
under Section 103 of the Act. The FAA
has relied on the certification by the
airport operator, under Section 150.21
of FAR Part 150, that the statutorily
required consultation has been
accomplished.
The FAA has formally received the
noise compatibility program for Bradley
International Airport, also effective on
November 6, 2008. 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 May 5, 2009.
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, 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 map, the FAA’s evaluation of
the map, and the proposed noise
compatibility program are available for
examination at the following locations:

Under Section 103 of Title I of the Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act of 1979 (hereinafter referred to as ``the Act''), an
airport operator may submit to the FAA a noise exposure map which meets
applicable regulations and which depicts non-compatible land uses as of

promulgated pursuant to Title I of the Act, may submit a noise
compatibility program for FAA approval which sets forth the measures
the operator has taken, or proposes, for the introduction of additional
non-compatible uses.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation submitted to the FAA,
