ACTION: Notice.
The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the noise compatibility
program submitted by the City of
Hawthorne, California. On April 11,
2014, the FAA determined that the
noise exposure maps submitted by the
City of Hawthorne were in compliance
with applicable requirements. On
December 18, 2017, the FAA approved
the Hawthorne Municipal Airport Noise
Compatibility Program. All 11 of the
recommendations of the program were
approved. No program elements relating
to new or revised flight procedures for
noise abatement were proposed by the
airport operator.
DATES: The applicability date of the
FAA’s approval of the Hawthorne
Municipal Airport noise compatibility
program is December 18, 2017.

Under section 47504 of 49, United
States Code (U.S.C.) (the Aviation Safety
and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter
referred to as ‘‘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
14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
part 150 (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘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 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 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
part 150, § 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
action. A request for Federal action or
approval to implement specific noise
compatibility measures may be
required. Prior to an FAA decision on a
request to implement the action, an
environmental review of the proposed
action may be required. 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-inaid funding from the FAA. Where
Federal funding is sought, requests for
project grants must be submitted to the
FAA Los Angeles Airports District
Office in the Western-Pacific Region.
The City of Hawthorne submitted
their noise compatibility program to the
FAA on June 20, 2017, including the
noise exposure maps, descriptions and
other documentation produced during
the noise compatibility planning study
conducted from September 7, 2011
through June 20, 2017. The Hawthorne
Municipal Airport noise exposure maps
were determined by FAA to be in
compliance with applicable
requirements on April 11, 2014. Notice
of this determination was published in
the Federal Register (79 FR 24489) on
April 30, 2014.
The noise exposure maps are based on
operational data that is now over five
years old. FAA received certification, in
accordance with 14 CFR 150.21, that the
noise exposure maps are representative
of conditions at the airport for the
existing and forecast timeframe as of the
date of March 2014. Due to the aircraft
operational and fleet mix changes since
2014, at the airport, FAA recommends
the City of Hawthorne review, revise,
and update, as appropriate the future
noise exposure maps under 14 CFR
150.21 at the earliest opportunity.
The Hawthorne Municipal Airport
study contains a proposed noise
compatibility program comprised of
actions designed for phased
implementation by airport management
and adjacent jurisdictions through 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 June 23, 2017, 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 11
proposed actions for noise abatement,
noise mitigation, land use planning and
PO 00000

program management measures on and
off the airport. The FAA completed its
review and determined that the
procedural and substantive
requirements of the Act and part 150
have been satisfied. The overall program
was approved by the FAA on December
18, 2017.
Outright approval was granted for all
11 specific program measures. The
approved measures include: Continue to
implement Hawthorne Municipal
Airport Fly Quietly pilot and public
education program; Continue to use the
existing ground run-up area on the
south side of the airport; Support the
land use compatibility guidelines for
project review found in the City of
Hawthorne and Inglewood Noise
Elements of the General Plan; The City
of Hawthorne should amend its Noise
Element to include monitoring and
updating the part 150 Noise
Compatibility Study; Incorporate the
Hawthorne Municipal Airport 65
Community Noise Equivalent Level
(CNEL) noise contour into the City of
Hawthorne General Plan Map; The City
of Hawthorne should adopt formal
project review guidelines addressing
noise compatibility issues; The City of
Hawthorne should establish an Airport
Overlay Zone; Establish a voluntary
residential property acquisition and
redevelopment program to remove
noise-sensitive land uses within the
2017 65 CNEL noise contour; Continue
Use of Airport’s Noise Complaint
Handling System; Update Noise
Exposure Maps and Noise Compatibility
Program; and Monitor Implementation
of updated part 150 Noise Compatibility
Program.
These determinations are set forth in
detail in a Record of Approval signed by
the Director, Office of Airports,
Western-Pacific Region on December 18,
2017. 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 City of
Hawthorne.
The Record of Approval also will be

Under section 47504 of 49, United States Code (U.S.C.) (the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as
``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 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150 (hereinafter
referred to as ``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 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 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 non-compatible land uses;
c. Program measures would not create an undue burden on interstate
or foreign commerce, unjustly discriminate against types or classes of

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 part 150, Sec. 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. Prior to an FAA decision on a request to implement the
action, an environmental review of the proposed action may be required.
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 Los Angeles Airports
District Office in the Western-Pacific Region.
The City of Hawthorne submitted their noise compatibility program
to the FAA on June 20, 2017, including the noise exposure maps,
descriptions and other documentation produced during the noise
compatibility planning study conducted from September 7, 2011 through
June 20, 2017. The Hawthorne Municipal Airport noise exposure maps were
determined by FAA to be in compliance with applicable requirements on
April 11, 2014. Notice of this determination was published in the
Federal Register (79 FR 24489) on April 30, 2014.

CFR 150.21, that the noise exposure maps are representative of
conditions at the airport for the existing and forecast timeframe as of
the date of March 2014. Due to the aircraft operational and fleet mix
changes since 2014, at the airport, FAA recommends the City of
Hawthorne review, revise, and update, as appropriate the future noise

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 11 proposed actions for noise
abatement, noise mitigation, land use planning and program management
measures on and off the airport. The FAA completed its review and
determined that the procedural and substantive requirements of the Act
and part 150 have been satisfied. The overall program was approved by
the FAA on December 18, 2017.
Outright approval was granted for all 11 specific program measures.
The approved measures include: Continue to implement Hawthorne
