Regulations (CFR) Part 150, effective
December 14, 2021. Under 49 U.S.C.
47503 of the Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act (‘‘the Act’’), an airport
operator may submit to the FAA Noise
Exposure Maps which meet applicable
regulations and which depict noncompatible 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 airport operator has taken
or proposes to take to reduce existing
non-compatible uses and prevent the
introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
The FAA has completed its review of
the Noise Exposure Maps and
accompanying documentation

submitted by the Airport Sponsor. The
documentation that constitutes the
‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in 14
CFR 150.7 includes: 2020 Noise
Exposure Map (Map 1 of 5); 2025 Noise
Exposure Map (Map 2 of 5); AEDT
Flight Tracks—All Arrivals (Map 3 of 5);
AEDT Flight Tracks—All Departures
(Map 4 of 5); AEDT Flight Tracks—All
Touch and Go (Map 5 of 5); and the
Final Noise Exposure Map Report and
its appendices. The Airport Sponsor has
certified that the submitted NEMs
reasonably represent current year (2021)
activity and projected (2026) activity at
the airport. The FAA independently
reviewed the submitted certification, as
well as current forecasts and data for the
airport, and concurred that the
submitted NEMs reasonably reflect
current and projected activity at the
airport. The FAA has determined that
these Noise Exposure Maps and
accompanying documentation are in
compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is
effective on December 14, 2021.
FAA’s determination on the 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
14 CFR part 150. Such determination
does not constitute approval of the
airport operator’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 exposure
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 14
CFR 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
PO 00000
Frm 00091
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
71703
the certification by the airport operator,
under 14 CFR 150.21, that the
statutorily required consultation has
been accomplished.

Maps documentation and of the FAA’s
evaluation of the maps are available for
examination by appointment at the
