SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 24, 2012, the Secretary, as mandated by Section 411 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112– 95, 126 Stat. 11 (2012)), established the Advisory Committee on Aviation Consumer Protection (ACACP) and announced those persons appointed as members. The committee’s charter, drafted in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, sets forth policies for the operation of the advisory committee and is available on the Department’s Web site at https:// facasms.fido.gov/committee/ charters.aspx?cid=2448&aid=47. The fifth meeting of the ACACP initially was scheduled for Tuesday, October 8, 2013, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time at the Federal Aviation Administration headquarters in Washington, DC. Due to the lapse in funding of the Federal government on October 1, 2013, key preparations for the fifth committee meeting by law had to be placed on hold until funding was resumed. The meeting has been rescheduled for Monday, December 16, 2013, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time in the Oklahoma City Room at the U.S. Department of Transportation headquarters, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC. The agenda for the meeting includes an update from the DOT’s Office of Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings (Enforcement Office) on the implementation status of the ACACP’s initial set of recommendations to the Secretary submitted to Congress on March 22, 2013. Other issues to be discussed include making consumer rights information available to the public on airport posters, delays in the clearance of passengers arriving on international flights through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection facilities at U.S. airports, customized airfare pricing and potential consumer protection issues, and the ACACP’s recommendations for calendar year 2013 to the Secretary of Transportation on additional needed consumer protection measures. As announced in the notices of previous meetings of the ACACP, the meeting will be open to the public, and, time permitting, comments by members of the public are invited. Since access to the U.S. Department of Transportation headquarters building is controlled for security purposes, we ask that any member of the general public who plans to attend the fifth meeting notify the Department contact noted above no later PO 00000 Frm 00146 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 than five (5) calendar days prior to the meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds that the noise exposure maps submitted for Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150 (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘Part 150’’), effective November 21, 2013. 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 Mohave County Airport Authority. The documentation that constitutes the ‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in section 150.7 of Part 150 includes: Exhibit 1 Existing (2012) Noise Exposure Map and Exhibit 2 Future (2017) Noise Exposure Map. The existing and future Noise Exposure Maps contain current and forecast information including the depiction of the airport and its boundaries, the runway configuration and runway expansion (future), noise sensitive land uses such as residential, noise sensitive VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:56 Nov 27, 2013 Jkt 232001 institutions, and schools are shown within the existing and future noise contours. Arrival and departure flight tracks for the existing and five-year forecast Noise Exposure Maps are found in Exhibits 2C, 2D, 2F, 2G and 2H. Table 2C summarized the operational fleet mix for Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport for existing (2012) and future (2017) conditions. Table 2D summarizes the type and frequency (in percentage) of aircraft operations (including nighttime operations) for existing conditions (2012) and future conditions (2017). The FAA has determined that these noise exposure maps and accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on November 21, 2013. 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 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 Part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has been accomplished.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds 
that the noise exposure maps submitted for Laughlin/Bullhead 
International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of 
14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150 (hereinafter referred to 
as ``Part 150''), effective November 21, 2013. 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 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 the Mohave County Airport 
Authority. The documentation that constitutes the ``Noise Exposure 
Maps'' as defined in section 150.7 of Part 150 includes: Exhibit 1 
Existing (2012) Noise Exposure Map and Exhibit 2 Future (2017) Noise 
Exposure Map. The existing and future Noise Exposure Maps contain 
current and forecast information including the depiction of the airport 
and its boundaries, the runway configuration and runway expansion

sensitive institutions, and schools are shown within the existing and 
future noise contours. Arrival and departure flight tracks for the 
existing and five-year forecast Noise Exposure Maps are found in 
Exhibits 2C, 2D, 2F, 2G and 2H. Table 2C summarized the operational 
fleet mix for Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport for existing 
(2012) and future (2017) conditions. Table 2D summarizes the type and 
frequency (in percentage) of aircraft operations (including nighttime 
operations) for existing conditions (2012) and future conditions 
(2017). The FAA has determined that these noise exposure maps and 
accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable 
requirements. This determination is effective on November 21, 2013.
    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
