Petition for Waiver of Compliance, 30386-30387 [2013-12100]

Download as PDF TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 30386 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 99 / Wednesday, May 22, 2013 / Notices 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 as prescribed by law. Specific limitations with respect to FAA’s approval of an airport noise compatibility program are delineated in FAR 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 a 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 under the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982. Where Federal funding is sought, requests for project grants must be submitted to the FAA Regional Office in Burlington, Massachusetts. The Tweed-New Haven Airport Authority submitted to the FAA, on November 13, 2012, noise exposure maps, descriptions, and other documentation produced during the noise compatibility planning study conducted from 2010 to 2012. The Tweed-New Haven Regional Airport noise exposure maps were determined by FAA to be in compliance with applicable requirements on November 26, 2012. Notice of this determination was published in the Federal Register on February 6, 2013. The Tweed-New Haven Regional Airport study contains a proposed noise compatibility program comprised of actions designed for implementation by airport management and adjacent jurisdictions from the date of study completion to beyond the year 2018. The Tweed-New Haven Airport Authority requested that the FAA evaluate and approve this material as a noise compatibility program as described in Section 104(b) of the Act. The FAA began its review of the program on November 26, 2012, and was required by a provision of the Act to approve or disapprove the program within 180 days (other than the use of VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:59 May 21, 2013 Jkt 229001 new flight procedures for noise control). Failure to approve or disapprove such a program within the 180-day period shall be deemed to be an approval of such a program. The submitted program contained 21 proposed actions 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 FAR Part 150 have been satisfied. The New England Region Airports Division Manager therefore approved the overall program effective May 9, 2013. FAA’s determinations are set forth in detail in a Record of Approval endorsed by the Acting Associate Administrator on May 9, 2013. 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 offices of Tweed-New Haven Regional Airport. Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts on May 9, 2013. Mary Walsh, Manager, Airports Division, FAA New England Region.
