    An airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps that are

may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets

existing non-compatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional 
non-compatible uses.
    The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program 
update for Modesto City-County Airport, effective on December 6, 2009. 
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

    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the

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 non-
compatible land uses and preventing the introduction of additional non-
compatible land uses.
    Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed program
