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 Regional Office in
Fort Worth, Texas.
The Lafayette Airport Commission
submitted to the FAA on November 29,
2011 the noise exposure maps,
descriptions, and other documentation
produced during the noise compatibility
planning study conducted from August
14, 2013 through August 6, 2014. The
Lafayette Regional Airport noise
exposure maps were determined by
FAA to be in compliance with
applicable requirements on April 4,
2012. Notice of this determination was
published in the Federal Register on
April 13, 2012.
The Lafayette Regional Airport study
contains a proposed noise compatibility
program comprised of actions designed
for phased implementation by airport
management and adjacent jurisdictions
from August 6, 2014 to the year 2017.
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 May
25, 2015 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 two
proposed actions for noise mitigation off
the airport. 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 effective November 23, 2015.
Outright approval was granted for
both of the specific program elements. A
preventive land use mitigation measure
would offer owners of vacant residential

parcels located within the existing DNL
65 contour the opportunity to
participate in the Avigation Easement
Acquisition Program. A remedial
measure would offer owners of
residential properties located within the
DNL 65 contour the opportunity to
participate in the Avigation Easement
Acquisition Program.
These determinations are set forth in
detail in a Record of Approval signed by
the FAA Southwest Region Airports
Division Manager on November 23,
2015. 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 offices of the Lafayette
Airport Commission. The Record of
Approval also will be available on-line
