Pilot portfolio is performing very well,
at about one-half the rate of liquidation
and one-quarter the rate of loan
purchase compared to all other 7(a)
loans of $150,000 or less. In addition,
the demand for GO Loans has continued
during FY2011 in response to the
ongoing need to rebuild the Gulf Coast
areas devastated by Hurricanes Katrina
and Rita and the setback in these efforts
caused by the several natural disasters
that affected the region this year. The
approximate number of GO Loans is
only slightly less than the number of
loans approved in FY 2010 at
approximately 520 loans.
Thus, the Agency believes it is
appropriate to extend this unique and
vital program through December 31,
2013, with no further extensions after
that. In the interim, the Agency will
determine whether a program should be
developed that provides for disaster
recovery financial assistance under
SBA’s 7(a) Business Loan Program that
could be applied to any region that
meets a predetermined set of criteria.
Accordingly, the SBA is also extending
its waiver of the Agency regulations
identified in the Federal Register notice
at 70 FR 69645 with the exception noted
above through December 31, 2013 only.
SBA’s waiver of these regulations is
authorized by 13 CFR 120.3. These
waivers apply only to those loans
approved under the GO Loan Pilot,
which expires December 31, 2013. As
part of the GO Loan Pilot, these waivers
apply only to those small businesses
located in, locating to, or relocating in
the parishes/counties that have been
Presidentially-declared as disaster areas
resulting from Hurricanes Katrina or
Rita, plus any contiguous parishes/
counties. A list of all eligible parishes/
counties will be included in an SBA
procedural notice that will announce
the extension of the GO Loan Pilot.
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 636(a)(24); 13 CFR

ACTION:
Notice.
The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the Noise Compatibility
Program Update (NCP) submitted by the
City of Kissimmee under the provisions
of 49 U.S.C. (the Aviation Safety and
Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter
referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 CFR
part 150. These findings are made in
recognition of the description of Federal
and nonfederal responsibilities in
Senate Report No. 96–52 (1980). On
December 11, 2009, the FAA
determined that the Noise Exposure
Maps submitted by the City of
Kissimmee under Part 150 were in
compliance with applicable
requirements. On September 23, 2011,
the FAA approved the Kissimmee
Gateway Airport Noise Compatibility
Program Update. Some of the
recommendations of the Program were
approved.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date
of the FAA’s approval of the Kissimmee
Gateway Airport Noise Compatibility
Program Update is September 23, 2011.

Documents reflecting this FAA action
may be reviewed at this same location.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA has
given its overall approval to the Noise
Compatibility Program Update for
Kissimmee Gateway Airport, effective
September 23, 2011.
Under Section 47504 of the Act, an
airport operator who has previously
submitted a Noise Exposure Map may
submit to the FAA a Noise
Compatibility Program which sets forth
the measures taken or proposed by the
airport operator for the reduction of
existing non-compatible land uses and
prevention of additional non-compatible
land uses within the area covered by the
Noise Exposure Maps. The Act requires
such programs to be developed in
consultation with interested and
affected parties including local
communities, government agencies,
airport users, and FAA personnel.
Each airport noise compatibility
program developed in accordance with
Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) part 150 is a local program, not
a Federal program. The FAA does not
substitute its judgment for that of the
airport operator with respect to which
measure should be recommended for
action. The FAA’s approval or
SUMMARY:

disapproval of 14 CFR part 150 program
recommendations is measured
according to the standards expressed in
14 CFR part 150 and the Act, and is
limited to the following determinations:
a. The Noise Compatibility Program
was developed in accordance with the
provisions and procedures of 14 CFR
part 150;
b. Program measures are reasonably
consistent with achieving the goals of
reducing existing non-compatible land
uses around the airport and preventing
the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses;
c. Program measures would not create
an undue burden on interstate or foreign
commerce, unjustly discriminate against
types or classes of aeronautical uses,
violate the terms of airport grant
agreements, or intrude into areas
preempted by the Federal government;
and
d. Program measures relating to the
use of flight procedures can be
implemented within the period covered
by the program without derogating
safety, adversely affecting the efficient
use and management of the navigable
airspace and air traffic control systems,
or adversely affecting other powers and
responsibilities of the Administrator
prescribed by law.
Specific limitations with respect to
FAA’s approval of an airport Noise
Compatibility Program are delineated in
14 CFR part 150, Section 150.5.
Approval is not a determination
concerning the acceptability of land
uses under Federal, state, or local law.
Approval does not by itself constitute an
FAA implementing action. A request for
Federal action or approval to implement
specific noise compatibility measures
may be required, and an FAA decision
on the request may require an
environmental assessment of the
proposed action. Approval does not
constitute a commitment by the FAA to
financially assist in the implementation
of the program nor a determination that
all measures covered by the program are
eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the
FAA. Where Federal funding is sought,
requests for project grants must be
submitted to the appropriate FAA
Airports District Office.
The City of Kissimmee submitted to
the FAA on November 16, 2009, the
Noise Exposure Maps, descriptions, and
other documentation produced during
the noise compatibility planning study
conducted from September 19, 2008,
through September 23, 2011. The
Kissimmee Gateway Airport Noise
Exposure Maps were determined by
FAA to be in compliance with
applicable requirements on December
11, 2009. Notice of this determination

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 190 / Friday, September 30, 2011 / Notices
was published in the Federal Register
on December 29, 2009.
The Kissimmee Gateway Airport
study contains a proposed Noise
Compatibility Program Update
comprised of actions designed for
phased implementation by airport
management and adjacent jurisdictions
from Sepember 23, 2011 to the year
2014. It was requested that FAA
evaluate and approve this material as a
Noise Compatibility Program as
described in Section 47504 of the Act.
The FAA began its review of the
Program on April 1, 2011, and was
required by a provision of the Act to
approve or disapprove the Program
within 180-days (other than the use of
new or modified flight procedures for
noise control). Failure to approve or
disapprove such Program within the
180-day period shall be deemed to be an
approval of such Program.
The submitted Program contained a
total of nineteen (19) elements, four (4)
of which were FAA and/or airport
operator actionable measures for noise
mitigation on and off the airport. The
FAA completed its review and
determined that the procedural and
substantive requirements of the Act and
14 CFR part 150 have been satisfied.
The overall Program, therefore, was
approved by the FAA effective
September 23, 2011.
Outright approval was granted for two
(2) of the specific program elements. In
addition, two (2) of the program
elements were disapproved by the FAA.
Operational Measure #2 was
disapproved for purposes of part 150
because it did not provide any
quantifiable reduction in noise impacts
to non-compatible land uses. Land Use
Measure #16 was disapproved for
purposes of part 150 because the local
municipal jurisdictions have not yet
adopted a lower local standard which
defines incompatible land uses below
DNL 65 dBA. The other fifteen (15)
program elements were elements from
the original Noise Compatibility
Program completed by the City of
Kissimmee and approved by the FAA in
1994, which were requested to be
rescinded by the airport operator in the
current Program. At the airport
operators request, the FAA has
withdrawn its 1994 approval of these 15
elements in accordance with 14 CFR
part 150.35(d)(5).
These determinations are set forth in
detail in a Record of Approval signed by
the FAA on September 23, 2011. The
Record of Approval, as well as other
evaluation materials and the documents
comprising the submittal, are available
for review at the FAA office listed above

Noise Exposure Map Update for
Buffalo Niagara International Airport,
Buffalo, NY
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the updated noise
exposure maps submitted by the Niagara
Frontier Transportation Authority
(NFTA), for Buffalo Niagara
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
of the FAA’s determination on the noise
exposure maps is September 20, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Suki Gill, Environmental Protection
Specialist, Federal Aviation
Administration, New York Airports
District Office, 600 Old Country Road,
Suite 446, Garden City, NY 11530,
Telephone (516) 227–3815.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA finds
that the updated noise exposure maps
submitted for Buffalo Niagara
International Airport are in compliance
with applicable requirements of 14 Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150
(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘part 150’’),
effective September 20, 2011. 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 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 NFTA. The
documentation that constitutes the
‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in
section 150.7 of part 150 includes:
Figure 6 ‘‘2008 Noise Exposure Map
with Land Use’’ and Figure 9 ‘‘2013
Noise Exposure Map & Affected Land
Uses.’’ The FAA has determined that
these noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation are in
compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is
effective on September 20, 2011.
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
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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the Noise Compatibility Program Update (NCP) submitted by
the City of Kissimmee under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. (the Aviation
Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'')
and 14 CFR part 150. These findings are made in recognition of the
description of Federal and nonfederal responsibilities in Senate Report
No. 96-52 (1980). On December 11, 2009, the FAA determined that the
Noise Exposure Maps submitted by the City of Kissimmee under Part 150
were in compliance with applicable requirements. On September 23, 2011,
the FAA approved the Kissimmee Gateway Airport Noise Compatibility
Program Update. Some of the recommendations of the Program were
approved.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the FAA's approval of the
Kissimmee Gateway Airport Noise Compatibility Program Update is
September 23, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Allan M. Nagy, Federal Aviation
Administration, Orlando Airports District Office, 5950 Hazeltine
National Drive, Suite 400, Orlando, Florida 32822, phone number: 407-
812-6331. Documents reflecting this FAA action may be reviewed at this
same location.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA has given
its overall approval to the Noise Compatibility Program Update for
Kissimmee Gateway Airport, effective September 23, 2011.
Under Section 47504 of the Act, an airport operator who has
previously submitted a Noise Exposure Map may submit to the FAA a Noise
Compatibility Program which sets forth the measures taken or proposed
by the airport operator for the reduction of existing non-compatible
land uses and prevention of additional non-compatible land uses within
the area covered by the Noise Exposure Maps. The Act requires such
programs to be developed in consultation with interested and affected
parties including local communities, government agencies, airport
users, and FAA personnel.
Each airport noise compatibility program developed in accordance
with Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150 is a local
program, not a Federal program. The FAA does not substitute its
judgment for that of the airport operator with respect to which measure
should be recommended for action. The FAA's approval or disapproval of
14 CFR part 150 program recommendations is measured according to the
standards expressed in 14 CFR part 150 and the Act, and is limited to
the following determinations:
a. The Noise Compatibility Program was developed in accordance with
the provisions and procedures of 14 CFR part 150;
b. Program measures are reasonably consistent with achieving the
goals of reducing existing non-compatible land uses around the airport
and preventing the introduction of additional non-compatible land uses;
c. Program measures would not create an undue burden on interstate
or foreign commerce, unjustly discriminate against types or classes of
aeronautical uses, violate the terms of airport grant agreements, or
intrude into areas preempted by the Federal government; and
d. Program measures relating to the use of flight procedures can be
implemented within the period covered by the program without derogating
safety, adversely affecting the efficient use and management of the
navigable airspace and air traffic control systems, or adversely
affecting other powers and responsibilities of the Administrator
prescribed by law.
Specific limitations with respect to FAA's approval of an airport
Noise Compatibility Program are delineated in 14 CFR part 150, Section
150.5. Approval is not a determination concerning the acceptability of
land uses under Federal, state, or local law. Approval does not by
itself constitute an FAA implementing action. A request for Federal
action or approval to implement specific noise compatibility measures
may be required, and an FAA decision on the request may require an
environmental assessment of the proposed action. Approval does not
constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the
implementation of the program nor a determination that all measures
covered by the program are eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the
FAA. Where Federal funding is sought, requests for project grants must
be submitted to the appropriate FAA Airports District Office.
The City of Kissimmee submitted to the FAA on November 16, 2009,
the Noise Exposure Maps, descriptions, and other documentation produced
during the noise compatibility planning study conducted from September
19, 2008, through September 23, 2011. The Kissimmee Gateway Airport
Noise Exposure Maps were determined by FAA to be in compliance with
applicable requirements on December 11, 2009. Notice of this
determination
[[Page 60962]]
was published in the Federal Register on December 29, 2009.
The Kissimmee Gateway Airport study contains a proposed Noise
Compatibility Program Update comprised of actions designed for phased
implementation by airport management and adjacent jurisdictions from
Sepember 23, 2011 to the year 2014. It was requested that FAA evaluate
and approve this material as a Noise Compatibility Program as described
in Section 47504 of the Act. The FAA began its review of the Program on
April 1, 2011, and was required by a provision of the Act to approve or
disapprove the Program within 180-days (other than the use of new or
modified flight procedures for noise control). Failure to approve or
disapprove such Program within the 180-day period shall be deemed to be
an approval of such Program.
The submitted Program contained a total of nineteen (19) elements,
four (4) of which were FAA and/or airport operator actionable measures
for noise mitigation on and off the airport. The FAA completed its
review and determined that the procedural and substantive requirements
of the Act and 14 CFR part 150 have been satisfied. The overall
Program, therefore, was approved by the FAA effective September 23,
2011.
Outright approval was granted for two (2) of the specific program
elements. In addition, two (2) of the program elements were disapproved
by the FAA. Operational Measure 2 was disapproved for purposes
of part 150 because it did not provide any quantifiable reduction in
noise impacts to non-compatible land uses. Land Use Measure 16
was disapproved for purposes of part 150 because the local municipal
jurisdictions have not yet adopted a lower local standard which defines
incompatible land uses below DNL 65 dBA. The other fifteen (15) program
elements were elements from the original Noise Compatibility Program
completed by the City of Kissimmee and approved by the FAA in 1994,
which were requested to be rescinded by the airport operator in the
current Program. At the airport operators request, the FAA has
withdrawn its 1994 approval of these 15 elements in accordance with 14
CFR part 150.35(d)(5).
These determinations are set forth in detail in a Record of
Approval signed by the FAA on September 23, 2011. The Record of
Approval, as well as other evaluation materials and the documents
comprising the submittal, are available for review at the FAA office
listed above and at the administrative office of the City of Kissimmee.
The Record of Approval also will be available on-line at: https://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/airports/environmental/airport_noise/part_150/states/.
