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. 49
U.S.C. 47503 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 submitted
noise exposure maps that the FAA
determined complies with the
requirements of 14 CFR part 150, may
submit a noise compatibility program,
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, for
FAA approval.
San Diego County Regional Airport
Authority submitted to the FAA on May
6, 2022, noise exposure maps,
descriptions and other documentation
that were produced during the San
Diego International Airport 14 CFR part
150 Update Final Report, dated May
2022. It was requested that the FAA
review this material as the noise
exposure maps, as described in 49
U.S.C. 47503, and that the noise
mitigation measures, to be implemented
jointly by the airport and surrounding
communities, be approved as a noise
compatibility program under 49 U.S.C.
47503.
The FAA has completed its review of
the noise exposure maps and related
descriptions submitted by the San Diego
County Regional Airport Authority. The
specific documentation determined to
constitute the noise exposure maps
includes: ‘‘Figure NEM–1 Existing 2018
Noise Exposure Map (NEM);’’ ‘‘Figure
NEM–2 Future Noise Exposure Map
(NEM) 2026.’’ The Noise Exposure Maps
contain current and forecast information
including the depiction of the airport
and its boundaries, the runway
configuration, land uses such as
residential, open space, commercial/
office, community facilities, libraries,
churches, infrastructure, and those areas
within the Community Noise Equivalent
Level (CNEL) 65, 70, and 75 decibel (dB)
noise contours. Estimates for the
number of people within these contours
for the year 2018 are shown on Figure
NEM–1 Existing 2018 Noise Exposure
Map. Figures 3.9 and 3.10 show the
location of noise monitoring sites. Flight
tracks for the existing and the forecast
Noise Exposure Maps are found in
Figures 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3. The type and
frequency of aircraft operations

(including nighttime operations) are
found in Tables 4.3 and 4.4. The FAA
determined that these noise exposure
maps for San Diego International
Airport are in compliance with
applicable statuary and regulatory
requirements. This determination is
effective on September 1, 2022. The
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
14 CFR part 150. Such determination
does not constitute approval of the
applicant’s data, information or plans,
or constitute 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 49 U.S.C. 47503, 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 49 U.S.C. 47503. 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 the 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 49 U.S.C. 47503. The
FAA has relied on the certification by
the airport operator, 14 CFR 150.21, that
the statutorily required consultation has
been accomplished.
The FAA has formally received the
noise compatibility program for San
Diego International Airport, also
effective on September 1, 2022.
Preliminary review of the submitted
material indicates that it conforms to the
requirements for the submittal of noise
compatibility programs, but that further
review will be necessary prior to
approval or disapproval of the program.
The formal review period, limited by
law to a maximum of 180 days, will be
completed on or before February 28,
2023.
The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be
conducted under the provisions of 14
PO 00000
Frm 00122
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
55075
CFR 150.33. The primary considerations
in the evaluation process are whether
the proposed measures may reduce the
level of aviation safety, create an undue
burden on interstate or foreign
commerce, or be reasonably consistent
with obtaining the goal of reducing
existing non-compatible land uses and
preventing the introduction of
additional non-compatible land uses.
Interested persons are invited to
comment on the proposed program with
specific reference to these factors. All
comments, other than those properly
addressed to local land use authorities;
will be considered by the FAA to the
extent practicable. Copies of the noise
exposure maps, the FAA’s evaluation of
the maps, and the proposed noise
compatibility program are available for
examination at the following locations:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
determined the noise exposure map
submitted by Laredo International
Airport, is in compliance with
applicable statutory and regulatory
requirements, effective August 25, 2022.
Under Title 49 United States Code
(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 depicting noncompatible uses as of the date such map
is submitted, a description of estimated
aircraft operations during a forecast
period that is at least five years in the
future and how those operations will
affect the map. A noise exposure map
must be prepared in accordance with
Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) part 150, the regulations
promulgated pursuant to section 47502
of the Act, and developed in
consultation with public agencies and
planning authorities in the area
surrounding the airport, state and
Federal agencies, interested and affected
parties in the local community, and
aeronautical users of the airport. In
addition, an airport operator that
submitted a noise exposure map, which
the FAA determined is compliant with
statutory and regulatory requirements,
may submit a noise compatibility
program for FAA approval that sets
forth measures the operator has taken or
proposes to take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the
introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
The FAA completed its review of the
noise exposure map and supporting
documentation submitted by Laredo
International Airport and determined
the noise exposure map and
accompanying documentation are in
compliance with applicable
requirements. The documentation that
constitutes the Noise Exposure Map
includes: Figure 1–2 Airport Operating
Area; Table 5–2 2019 Aircraft
Operations and Fleet Mix; Table 5–4
2026 Aircraft Operations and Fleet Mix;
Figure 5–1 Existing Flight Tracks—

exposure map developed in accordance
with the Act and procedures contained
in 14 CFR part 150, Appendix A. FAA’s
acceptance of an NEM does not 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

questions arise concerning the precise
relationship of specific properties
within noise exposure contours
depicted on a noise exposure map, it

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 review
and acceptance of a noise exposure
map. 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 a noise exposure map or
with those public and planning agencies
with which consultation is required
under section 47503 of the Act. The
FAA relied on the certification by the
airport operator, under of 14 CFR 150.21
that the required consultations and
opportunity for public review has been
accomplished during the development
of the noise exposure maps. Copies of
