these comments, are contained in
Appendix L of the NEM Report.
The FAA has determined that these
noise exposure maps and accompanying
documentation are in compliance with
applicable requirements. This
determination is effective on May 19,
2017.
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 47503 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
47506 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 noise exposure maps.
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 those maps, or with
those public agencies and planning
authorities with which consultation is
required under Section 47503 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.

documentation and of the FAA’s
evaluation of the maps are available for

Federal Aviation Administration
Noise Exposure Map Notice for John F. Kennedy International
Airport, New York City, New York
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure maps submitted by the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey for John F. Kennedy International
Airport under the provisions of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act 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 May 19, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eastern Region Airports Division (AEA-
600), Andrew Brooks, Environmental Program Manager, Federal Aviation
Administration, AEA-600, 1 Aviation Plaza, Jamaica, New York 11434,
Telephone: (718) 553-3330.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure maps submitted for John F. Kennedy
International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of
14 CFR part 150, effective January 13, 2004. Under 49 U.S.C. Section
47503 of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter
referred to as ``the Act''), an airport operator may submit to the FAA
noise exposure maps which meet applicable regulations and which depict
non-compatible land uses as of the date of submission of such maps, a
description of projected aircraft operations during a forecast period
that is at least five (5) years in the future, 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 noise exposure maps that are found
by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of Federal Aviation
Regulations (FAR) Part 150, promulgated pursuant to the Act, may submit
a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets forth the
measures the operator has taken or proposes to take to reduce existing
non-compatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional non-
compatible uses.
The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation submitted by the Port Authority of New York
and New Jersey. The documentation that constitutes the ``Noise Exposure
Maps'' (NEM) as defined in Section 150.7 of Part 150 includes a 2016
Base Year NEM, Figure 5-1, and a 2021 Future Year NEM, Figure 5-2,
located in Chapter 5 of the NEM Report. Details of the NEM contours are
provided by Runway end in Figures 5-3 through 5-6 of Chapter 5. The
figures contained within Chapter 5 are scaled to fit within the report
context; however, the official, to scale, 2016 Base Year NEM and 2021
Future Year NEM are both located in Appendix M of the official NEM
Report submittal. The Noise Exposure Maps contain current and forecast
information including the depiction of the airport and its boundaries,
the runway configurations, land uses such as single and two-family
residential; multi-family residential; mixed residential and
commercial; commercial and office; industrial and manufacturing;
transportation, parking and utilities; public facilities and
institutions; unclassified; open space, cemetaries, and outdoor
recreation; vacant land; places of worship; schools; historic
structures; hospitals; and day care/assisted living facilities and
those areas within the Day Night Average Sound Level (DNL) 65, 70 and
75 noise contours. Estimates for the area within these contours for the
2016 Base Year and 2021 Future Year are shown in Table 5-1 and Table 5-
4 in Chapter 5 of the NEM Report respectively. Estimates of the
residential population within the 2016 Base Year and 2021 Future Year
noise contours are also shown in Table 5-1 and Table 5-4 in Chapter 5
of the NEM Report respectively. Figure 4-12, in Chapter 4, displays the
location of noise monitoring sites. Flight tracks are found in Figures
4-2 through 4-5 of Chapter 4 and detailed in Appedices E and M. The
type and frequency of aircraft operations (including nighttime
operations) are found in Chapter 4, Tables 4-1 and 4-2.
As discussed in Chapter 6 of the NEM Report, the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey provided the general public the opportunity to
review and comment on the NEMs. This public comment period opened on
October 26, 2016 and closed on November 28, 2016. Public workshops for
the Draft NEMs were held on November 2 and November 3, 2016. All
comments received during the public comment
[[Page 24771]]
period and throughout the development of the NEMs, as well as responses
to these comments, are contained in Appendix L of the NEM Report.
The FAA has determined that these noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is effective on May 19, 2017.
FAA's determination on an airport operator's noise exposure maps is
limited to a finding that the maps were developed in accordance with

determination does not constitute approval of the applicant's data,
information or plans, or a commitment to approve a noise compatibility

arise concerning the precise relationship of specific properties to
noise exposure contours depicted on a noise exposure map submitted
under Section 47503 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

for example, which properties should be covered by the provisions of
Section 47506 of the Act. These functions are inseparable from the
ultimate land use control and planning responsibilities of local
