Federal Aviation Administration March 17, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47504 et. seq (the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR part 150 by Wayne County Airport Authority. This program was submitted subsequent to a determination by FAA that associated noise exposure maps submitted under 14 CFR part 150 for Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport were in compliance with applicable requirements, effective March 7, 2006 and was published in the Federal Register on March 21, 2006. The proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or disapproved on or before August 29, 2009.

This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.
