determination that the noise exposure
maps submitted by the City of
Brownsville, Texas for Brownsville
South Padre Island International 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.
SUMMARY:
Effective Date: The effective date

Administration, 2601 Meacham
Boulevard, Fort Worth, Texas 76137,
(817) 222–5681.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure maps submitted
for Brownsville South Padre Island
International Airport are in compliance
with applicable requirements of part
150, effective August 30, 2010. 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
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 noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation
submitted by the City of Brownsville,
Texas. The documentation that
constitutes the ‘‘noise exposure maps’’ as
defined in section 150.7 of part 150
includes: Tables 5.1 through 5.13 and
Figures 5.1 through 5.5 for year 2009
existing conditions and Tables 6.1
through 6.10 and Figures 6.1 through
6.5 for year 2015 future conditions at
Brownsville South Padre Island
International Airport. The FAA has
determined that these noise exposure
maps and accompanying documentation
are in compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is
effective on August 30, 2010.
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
