DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Noise Exposure Map Notice;
Burlington International Airport; South
Burlington, Vermont
Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure
maps for Burlington International
Airport, as submitted by the City of
Burlington, Vermont, under the
provisions of Title I of the Aviation
Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979
(Public Law 96–193) and 14 CFR part
150, are in compliance with applicable
requirements.
DATES: The effective date of the FAA’s
determination on the noise exposure
maps is December 22, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Richard Doucette, Federal Aviation
Administration, New England Region,
Airports Division, 12 New England
Executive Park, Burlington,
Massachusetts 01803.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure maps submitted
for Burlington International Airport are
in compliance with applicable
requirements of Part 150, effective
December 22, 2015.
Under Section 103 of Title I of the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act of 1979 (hereinafter referred to as
‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may
submit to the FAA noise exposure maps
that meet applicable regulations and
that 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 such noise exposure maps
that are found by FAA to be in
compliance with the requirements of
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 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 City of
Burlington, Vermont. The specific maps
under consideration were ‘‘Figure 12,
2015 Existing Conditions Noise
Exposure Map’’ and ‘‘Figure 13, 2020
Forecast Conditions Noise Exposure
Map’’ in the submission. The FAA has
determined that these maps for
Burlington International Airport are in
compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is
effective on December 22, 2015.
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
FAR 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.
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 FAR Part 150,
that the statutorily required consultation
has been accomplished.
Copies of the noise exposure maps
and of the FAA’s evaluation of the maps
are available for examination at the
following locations:
