This
notice announces that the FAA is
reviewing a proposed NCP Update for
the Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport.
As required by title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, part 150 (hereinafter
referred to as part 150), the NCP Update
will be approved or disapproved on or
before November 22, 2023. This notice
also announces the availability of this

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 131 / Tuesday, July 11, 2023 / Notices
comment for 60 days from the
publication date of this notice.
Under the Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act (49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq.),
an airport operator (hereinafter referred
to as Sponsor) who has submitted NEMs
that are found by the FAA to be in
compliance with the requirements of
part 150 may submit for FAA approval
a NCP or NCP Update that sets forth the
measures the Sponsor has taken, or
proposes to take, to reduce existing
noncompatible uses and prevent the
introduction of additional
noncompatible uses within the area
covered by the NEMs. The FAA has
formally received the NCP Update for
the Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport
effective on May 26, 2023. The City of
Westfield, Massachusetts, through its
Aviation Department, requested the
FAA review this material and that the
noise mitigation measures, to be
implemented jointly by the Sponsor and
surrounding communities, be approved
as NCP Update under the Act.
Preliminary review of the submitted
material indicates that it conforms to
part 150 requirements for the submittal
of an NCP, but that further review is
necessary prior to approval or
disapproval of the NCP Update. The
formal review period, limited by law to
a maximum of 180 days, will be
completed on or before November 22,
2023.
A public information meeting on the
NCP Update was held by the Sponsor on
March 16, 2022, and a public hearing
was held on February 1, 2023. The
FAA’s detailed evaluation will be
conducted under the provisions of part
150, § 105.33. The primary
considerations in the evaluation process
are whether the proposed measures may
reduce the level of aviation safety or
create an undue burden on interstate or
foreign commerce, and whether they are
reasonably consistent with obtaining the
goal of reducing existing noncompatible
land uses and preventing the
introduction of additional
noncompatible land uses.
Each airport NCP/NCP Update
developed in accordance with part 150
is a local program, not a Federal
program. The FAA does not substitute
its judgment for that of the Sponsor with
respect to which measures should be
recommended for action. The FAA’s
approval or disapproval of each specific
measure proposed by a Sponsor in an
NCP/NCP Update is determined by
applying approval criteria prescribed in
§ 150.35(b) of part 150. Only measures
that meet the approval criteria can be
approved and considered for Federal
funding eligibility. FAA approval or
disapproval of a measure only indicates
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:25 Jul 10, 2023
Jkt 259001
whether that measure would, if
implemented, be consistent with the
purposes of part 150. When a measure
is disapproved by the FAA, Sponsors
are encouraged to work with their
communities and the FAA, outside of
the part 150 process as necessary, to
implement initiatives that provide noise
benefits for the surrounding community.
Interested persons are invited to
comment on the proposed NCP Update
with specific reference to these factors.
To maximize the effectiveness of
comments and the FAA’s understanding
of them, comments should be as specific
as possible, identifying the concern(s) as
well as suggested or desired resolution
to the concern(s). When possible, quote
text and cite details such as page and
section numbers, NCP Update measure
number, etc. to which the comment(s)
pertain. This commenting procedure is
intended to ensure that substantive
comments and concerns are made
available to the FAA in a timely manner
so that the FAA has an opportunity to
address them in its Record of Approval.
All comments in their entirety become
part of the public record, including any
personal information provided in the
comment including name, address,
phone number, etc. All relevant
comments, other than those properly
addressed to local land use authorities,
will be considered by the FAA to the
extent practicable.
Copies of the proposed NCP Update
are available for examination online at:
www.barnesairport.com and hard copy
is available at Westfield-Barnes Regional
Airport, 110 Airport Road, Suite 207,
Westfield, MA 01085.
Please direct questions or requests to

NCP Update document to the individual
named above under the heading, FOR
