ACTION: Notice. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its determination that revision two of the future noise exposure map submitted by the city of Fort Worth for Fort Worth Alliance Airport under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et. seq (Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act) and 14 CFR Part 150 is in compliance with applicable requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that FAA finds, effective May 5, 2009, the second revision of the future noise exposure map submitted for Fort Worth Alliance Airport is in compliance with applicable requirements of Part 150. Under 49 U.S.C. section 47503 of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may submit to the FAA noise exposure maps which meet applicable regulations and which depict noncompatible land uses as of the date of submission of such maps, a description of projected aircraft VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:37 May 13, 2009 Jkt 217001 operations, and the ways in which such operations will affect such maps. The Act requires such maps 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 noise exposure maps that are found by FAA to be in compliance with 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 take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional noncompatible uses. The FAA has completed its review of the future noise exposure map (second revision) and accompanying documentation submitted by the city of Fort Worth. The documentation that constitutes the ‘‘future noise exposure map’’ as defined in section 150.7 of Part 150 includes: Section 5.0, and Exhibits 5.1–5.6. The FAA has determined that these noise exposure maps and accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on May 5, 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 47503 of the Act, it should be noted that the FAA is not involved in any way in determining the relative locations of specific properties with regard to the depicted noise contours, or in interpreting the noise exposure maps to resolve questions concerning, for example, which properties should be covered by the provisions of section 47506 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 noise exposure maps. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00077 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 that submitted those maps, or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which consultation is required under section 47503 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. Copies of the full noise exposure map documentation and of the FAA’s evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the following locations: Federal Aviation Administration, 2601 Meacham Boulevard, Fort Worth, Texas; Mr. Kent Penney, Airport Systems Director, City of Fort Worth, Aviation Department, 4201 N.

Worth, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its 
determination that revision two of the future noise exposure map 
submitted by the city of Fort Worth for Fort Worth Alliance Airport 
under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et. seq (Aviation Safety and 
Noise Abatement Act) and 14 CFR Part 150 is in compliance with 
applicable requirements.

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the FAA's determination on 
the future noise exposure map is May 5, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: DOT/FAA Southwest Region, Mr. Paul 
Blackford ASW 652b, 2601 Meacham Blvd. Fort Worth, Texas 76137, (817) 
222-5607.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that FAA finds, 
effective May 5, 2009, the second revision of the future noise exposure 
map submitted for Fort Worth Alliance Airport is in compliance with 
applicable requirements of Part 150. Under 49 U.S.C. section 47503 of 
the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter referred to as 
``the Act''), an airport operator may submit to the FAA noise exposure 
maps which meet applicable regulations and which depict noncompatible 
land uses as of the date of submission of such maps, a description of 
projected aircraft operations, and the ways in which such operations 
will affect such maps. The Act requires such maps 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 noise exposure maps that are found 
by FAA to be in compliance with 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 take to reduce existing 
non-compatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional non-
compatible uses.
    The FAA has completed its review of the future noise exposure map 
(second revision) and accompanying documentation submitted by the city 
of Fort Worth. The documentation that constitutes the ``future noise 
exposure map'' as defined in section 150.7 of Part 150 includes: 
Section 5.0, and Exhibits 5.1-5.6. The FAA has determined that these 
noise exposure maps and accompanying documentation are in compliance 
with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on May 5, 
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 47503 of the Act, it should be noted that the FAA is not 
involved in any way in determining the relative locations of specific 
properties with regard to the depicted noise contours, or in 
interpreting the noise exposure maps to resolve questions concerning, 
for example, which properties should be covered by the provisions of 
section 47506 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 noise exposure maps.
    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 those maps, 
or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which 
consultation is required under section 47503 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.
    Copies of the full noise exposure map documentation and of the 
FAA's evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the 
following locations: Federal Aviation Administration, 2601 Meacham 
Boulevard, Fort Worth, Texas; Mr. Kent Penney, Airport Systems 
Director, City of Fort Worth, Aviation Department, 4201 N. Main St., 
Suite 200, Fort Worth, Texas. Questions may be directed to the 
individual named above under the heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 
CONTACT.
