SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA finds
that the updated noise exposure maps
submitted for Chicago Executive Airport
are in compliance with applicable
requirements of14 CFR part 150,
effective (Note 1). Under 49 U.S.C.
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, 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 14 CFR 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 noncompatible uses and prevent the
introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
The FAA has completed its review of
the updated noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation
submitted by Chicago Executive Airport.
The documentation that constitutes the
‘‘noise exposure maps’’ as defined in
section 150.7 of Part 150 includes:
Figure D3, Existing (2016) Noise
Exposure Map; Figure D4, Future (2022)
Noise Exposure Map; Table B2,
Summary Annual and Aircraft
Operations Forecast; Figure D1, Arrival
Flight Tracks; Figure D2, Departure
Flight Tracks; Table E1, Existing Land
Use Within Existing Noise Contours,
2016; and Table E2, Existing Land Use
Within Existing Noise Future Noise
Contours.
The FAA has determined that these
updated noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation are in
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:04 Aug 17, 2018
Jkt 244001
compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is
effective on August 9, 2018. 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 agencies 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.
Copies of the full updated noise
exposure map documentation and of the
FAA’s evaluation of the maps are
available for examination, upon prior
appointment during normal business
hours, at the following locations:
Chicago Executive Airport, 1020
South Plant Road, Wheeling, Illinois

Act (NEPA) agency, will prepare an EIS
for a proposal to satisfy transportation
and safety goals at Interstate 15 (I–15)/
Green Spring Drive (Exit 10) Interchange
and the surrounding roadway system in
Washington County within Washington
City, Utah. The proposed project study
area extends east and west along I–15
between the I–15/Green Spring Drive
Interchange (Exit 10) and I–15/
Washington Parkway Interchange (Exit
13). The extent of the proposed study
area is generally bound by Buena Vista
Boulevard to the north and Telegraph
Street to the south. The proposed logical
termini for this study are I–15 Exit 10
and Exit 13, as well as Buena Vista
Boulevard, and Telegraph Street. Each
of these streets are major arterials that
provide north-south and east-west travel
within the study area.
The environmental review process for
this project began in the summer of
2017. An information meeting was held
August 29, 2017 to gather public input
related to the transportation needs
within the study area and inform the
community of the environmental
process. Based on community concerns
regarding potential outcomes of this
study, UDOT decided the appropriate
level of environmental review needed
for this project would be best provided
by proceeding with an EIS.
As part of the EIS, UDOT will
consider a range of alternatives based on
the purpose and need of the project and
taking into account agency and public
input. The currently contemplated
alternatives include: (1) Taking no
action (no-build); (2) making the
existing system operate more efficiently;
(3) adding capacity to the system; (4)
dispersing of traffic more evenly
throughout the system; (5) reducing
traffic in the system; (6) combinations of
any of the above; and (7) other
reasonable alternatives if identified
during the scoping process. Alternatives
will be refined based on input from
agencies and the public during the
initial coordination/scoping period and
agency and public involvement
opportunities. Alternatives that do not
meet the project purpose and need or
that are otherwise not reasonable will
not be carried forward for detailed
consideration.
A Coordination Plan is being prepared
to define the agency and public
participation procedure for the
environmental review process. The plan
will outline: (1) How agencies and the
public will provide input during the
scoping process; (2) the development of
the purpose and need; and (3)
alternatives development.
Letters describing the proposed action
and soliciting comments will be sent to

appropriate Federal, State, Participating,
and local agencies, Native American
tribes, and to private organizations and
citizens who have previously expressed
or are known to have an interest in this
proposal. A public scoping, purpose and
need, and alternatives meeting is
scheduled for August 28, 2018 from 4:30
to 7:30 p.m. at the Washington City
Community Center in Washington,
Utah. Public notice will be given of the
time and place of the meeting.
Information regarding this meeting and
the project may also be obtained
through a public website maintained by
UDOT at www.mp11.org.
During the NEPA process, other
public meetings may be held as
appropriate to allow the public, as well
as Federal, State, and local agencies,
and tribes, to provide comments on the
purpose of and need for the project,
potential alternatives, and social,
economic, and environmental issues of
concern. In addition, a public hearing
will be held following the release of the
Draft EIS. Public notice advertisements
and direct mailings will notify
interested parties of the time and place
of any public meetings and of the public
hearing. The Draft EIS will be available
for public and agency review and
comment prior to the public hearing.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to this proposed action are
addressed and all significant issues
identified, comments, and suggestions
are invited from all interested parties.
Comments or questions concerning this
proposed action and the EIS should be
directed to UDOT at the mail or email
address provided above by September
14, 2018. For additional information
please visit the project website at
