Under Section 103 of Title I of the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act of 1979 (hereinafter referred to as
‘‘the Act’’) (49 U.S.C. 47503), an airport
operator may submit to the FAA noise
exposure maps that meet applicable
regulations and that depict noncompatible 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

that are found by FAA to be in
compliance with the requirements of
Part 150 of FAA’s regulations (14 CFR
Part 150), promulgated pursuant to Title
I of the Act, may submit a noise
compatibility program for FAA approval
that sets forth the measures the operator
has taken, or proposes, for the
introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
The FAA has completed its review of
the noise exposure map and related
descriptions submitted by the
Connecticut Airport Authority. The
specific maps under consideration were
Exhibit NEM–1, Existing (2013) Noise
Exposure Map and Exhibit NEM–2,
Future (2018) Noise Exposure Map in
the submission. The FAA has
determined that these maps for Bradley
International Airport are in compliance
with applicable requirements. This
determination is effective on December
31, 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 103 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 107 of the Act (49
U.S.C. 47506). 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 a noise exposure map.
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 the map or with those
public agencies and planning agencies
with which consultation is required
under Section 103 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.
