(to be determined).
Title: Neighborhood Environmental
Survey.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA
forms associated with this collection of
information.
Type of Review: Clearance of a new
information collection.
Background: This Neighborhood
Environmental Survey is necessary to
update the relationship between aircraft

FAA will use the information from this
collection to derive the empirical data to
support potential updates to or
validation of the national aviation noise
policy.
Respondents: 12,147 respondents
affected by airport noise.
Frequency: One time per respondent.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Five minutes for a mail
survey, twenty minutes for a telephone
survey for selected respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
1,544 hours.

Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information collection; and (d)

FAA Approval of Noise Compatibility
Program; Seattle-Tacoma International
Airport, Seattle, Washington
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the noise compatibility
program submitted by the SeattleTacoma International Airport under the
provisions of the Aviation Safety and
Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter
referred to as ‘‘the Act’’ and FAA
regulations. These findings are made in
recognition of the description of Federal
and nonfederal responsibilities in
Senate Report No. 96–52 (1980). On
December 13, 2013, the FAA
determined that the noise exposure
maps submitted by the Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport were in
compliance with applicable
requirements. On May 29, 2014, the
FAA approved the Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport noise
compatibility program. Nineteen of the
Twenty-two recommendations of the
program were approved. One
recommendation was disapproved, one
withdrawn and one approved in part
and disapproved in part.
SUMMARY:

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 113 / Thursday, June 12, 2014 / Notices
The effective date of the FAA’s
approval of the Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport noise
compatibility program is May 29, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cayla Morgan, Federal Aviation
Administration, Seattle Airports District
Office, 1601 Lind Ave. SW., Renton,
WA 98057–3356, telephone 425 227
2653. 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 for SeattleTacoma International Airport, effective
May 29, 2014.
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 Federal
Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150 is
a local program, not a Federal program.
The FAA does not substitute its
judgment for that of the airport
proprietor with respect to which
measures should be recommended for
action. The FAA’s approval or
disapproval of FAR Part 150 program
recommendations is measured
according to the standards expressed in
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 FAR 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
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 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 FAA Seattle Airports
District Office in Seattle, Washington.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
submitted to the FAA on October 24,
2013, the noise exposure maps,
descriptions, and other documentation
produced during the noise compatibility
planning study conducted from 2009
through 2013. The Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport noise exposure
maps were determined by FAA to be in
compliance with applicable
requirements on December 13, 2014.
Notice of this determination was
published in the Federal Register on
December 23, 2013 (78 FR 77548–
77549).
The Seattle-Tacoma International
Airport study contains a proposed noise
compatibility program comprised of
actions designed for phased
implementation by airport management
and adjacent jurisdictions. It was
requested that the 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
December 13, 2014, 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 9
noise abatement measures, 10 noise

mitigation/land use compatibility
measures, and 3 administrative
recommendations. The FAA completed
its review and determined that the
procedural and substantive
requirements of the Act and FAR Part
150 have been satisfied. The overall
program therefore, was approved by the
FAA on May 29, 2014.
Approval was granted for 19
measures. One measure was withdrawn
so no action was required. Measure
A–10 to address maintenance run-ups
was previously disapproved in the 2002
NCP and continues to be disapproved.
Measure M–2B for sound insulation of
schools was approved as a continuation
of a previously approved program but
the sound insulation of the Highline
Community College was disapproved
for Airport Improvement Program
funding as it is outside the newly
revised noise remedy boundary.
These determinations are set forth in
detail in a Record of Approval signed by
the Airports Division Manager,
Northwest Mountain Region on May 29,
2014. 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 Airport Noise
Office of the Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport. The Record of
Approval also will be available on-line
at https://www.faa.gov/airports/
