DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Noise Exposure Map Notice
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure
maps submitted by Ohio State
University for Ohio State University
Airport under the provisions of 49
U.S.C. 47501, et seq. (Aviation Safety
and Noise Abatement Act) and 14 CFR
Part 150 are in compliance with
applicable requirements.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date
of the FAA’s determination on the noise
exposure maps is June 24, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Ernest Gubry, Detroit Airports District
Office, 11677 South Wayne Road, Suite
107, Romulus, Michigan 48174, 734–
229–2905.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure maps submitted
for Ohio State University Airport are in
compliance with applicable
requirements of Part 150, effective June
24, 2009. 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 non-compatible 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
Regulation (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 noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation
submitted by Ohio State University. The
documentation that constitutes the
‘‘noise exposure maps’’ as defined in 14
CFR 50.7 includes: Existing 2008 Noise
Exposure Map (FAR Part 150 Noise

Future 2013 Noise Exposure Map (FAR
Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study
Update Final Noise Exposure Map
Report, Figure D6–2, refer also to FAR
Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study
Update Final Noise Exposure Map
Report CD–Rom Map A and Map B). The
FAA has determined that these noise
exposure maps and accompanying
documentation are in compliance with
applicable requirements. This
determination is effective on June 24,
2009.
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:
