SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA has
given its overall approval to the Noise
Compatibility Program Update for Key
West International Airport, effective
March 11, 2015.
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 Sponsor 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 Sponsor with respect to which
measures should be recommended for
action. The FAA’s approval or
disapproval of each specific measure
proposed by an airport Sponsor in a
Record of Approval (ROA) is
determined by applying approval
criteria prescribed in 14 CFR 150.35(b).
The Administrator approves programs
under this part, if:
(1) It is found that the program
measures to be implemented would not
create an undue burden on interstate or
foreign commerce (including any unjust
discrimination) and are reasonably
consistent with achieving the goals of
reducing existing noncompatible land
uses around the airport and of
preventing the introduction of
additional noncompatible land uses;
(2) The program provides for revision
if made necessary by the revision of the
Noise Exposure Map (NEM); and
(3) Those aspects of programs relating
to the use of flight procedures for noise
control can be implemented within the
period covered by the program and
without:
(i) Reducing the level of aviation
safety provided;

Frm 00140
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

(ii) Derogating the requisite level of
protection for aircraft, their occupants
and persons and property on the
ground;
(iii) Adversely affecting the efficient
use and management of the Navigable
Airspace and Air Traffic Control
Systems; or
(iv) Adversely affecting any other
powers and responsibilities of the
Administrator prescribed by law or any
other program, standard, or requirement
established in accordance with law.
Approval of a first time NCP or NCP
Update 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 review 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 Airports District
Office in Orlando, Florida.
The Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners submitted to the FAA
on October 29, 2013, the Noise Exposure
Maps for the Key West International
Airport. The Noise Exposure Maps were
determined by FAA to be in compliance
with applicable requirements on
December 19, 2013. Notice of this
determination was published in the
Federal Register on December 27, 2013.
On September 15, 2014, the Monroe
County Board of County Commissioners
submitted to the FAA the descriptions
of the Sponsor’s proposed noise
compatibility measures and other
documentation produced during the
Noise Compatibility Program Update
study conducted from November, 2011
through February 11, 2015.
The Key West International Airport
study contains a proposed Noise
Compatibility Program Update
comprised of actions designed for
phased implementation by airport
management and adjacent jurisdictions
from September 15, 2014 beyond the
year 2015. It was requested that FAA
evaluate and approve this material as a
Noise Compatibility Program Update as
described in Section 47504 of the Act.
The FAA began its review of the Noise
Compatibility Program Update on
September 15, 2014, and was required
by provisions of the Act to approve or
disapprove the program within 180 days
E:\FR\FM\06APN1.SGM

18492
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 65 / Monday, April 6, 2015 / Notices
(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 Update
contained twenty-five (25) proposed
actions for noise mitigation both 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 March 11, 2015.
Outright approval was granted for
thirteen (13) the specific program
elements. No FAA action was requested
or given for twelve (12) of the twentyfive (25) specific program elements.
These elements are the sole
responsibility of the Monroe County
Board of County Commissioners to both
implement and fund.
These determinations are set forth in
detail in a Record of Approval signed by
the FAA on March 11, 2015. When a
measure is disapproved by the FAA,
airport Sponsors are encouraged to work
with their local communities,
governments and the FAA, outside of
the formal Part 150 process as
necessary, to implement initiatives that
provide noise benefits for the
surrounding community.
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 Key West
International Airport. The Record of
Approval will also be available on-line

sponsor of the committee. The FAA and
seven other government agencies use
RTCA as a federal advisory committee.
On January 2, 1976, the FAA, the major
government user of RTCA products,
assumed sponsorship on behalf of all
government agencies. RTCA brings
together representatives of the
government and industry to form
special committees and steering
committees to provide advice and
recommendations on key operational
and technological issues that impact the
Next Generation Air Transportation
System (NextGen) implementation and
the Air Traffic Management System. The
Secretary of Transportation has
determined that that information and
use of committee are necessary in the
public interest in connection with the
performance of duties imposed on the
FAA by law.
