adverse impacts, if any, of commercial 

air tour operations on the natural 

resources, cultural resources, and visitor 

experiences of a national park unit and 

any tribal lands within or abutting the 

park. It should be noted that the ATMP 

has no authorization over other non-airtour operations such as military and 

general aviation operations.In 

compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) and FAA Order 1050.1E, an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) is being 

prepared. 

The FAA and NPS are now inviting 

the public, agencies, tribes, and other 

interested parties to provide comments, 

suggestions, and input on the scope of 

issues to be addressed in the 

environmental process.

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map; Receipt of Noise 

Compatibility Program and Request for 

Review; Lambert-St. Louis 

International Airport, St. Louis, MO 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by the St. Louis Airport 

Authority for the Lambert-St. Louis 

International Airport under the 

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. 

(Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

Act, hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) 

and 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR) Part 150 (hereinafter referred to as 

‘‘Part 150’’) are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. The FAA also 

announces that it is reviewing a 

proposed noise compatibility program 

that was submitted for the Lambert-St. 

Louis International Airport under Part 

150 in conjunction with the noise 

exposure map, and that this program 

will be approved or disapproved on or 

before October 2, 2011. 

DATES: The effective date of the FAA’s 

determination on the noise exposure 

maps and of the start of its review of the 

associated noise compatibility program 

is April 5, 2011. The public comment 

period ends June 4, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

FAA, Todd Madison, ACE–611B, 901 

Locust, Kansas City, Missouri, 64106– 

2325, todd.madison@faa.gov, 816–329– 

2640. Comments on the proposed noise 

compatibility program should also be 

submitted to the above office. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces the FAA finds that the 

noise exposure maps submitted for the 

Lambert-St. Louis International Airport 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements of Part 150, effective April 

5, 2011. Further, FAA is reviewing a 

proposed noise compatibility program 

for that airport which will be approved 

or disapproved on or before October 2, 

2011. This notice also announces the 

availability of this program for public 

review and comment. 

Under 49 U.S.C. 47503 of 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 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 St. Louis Airport Authority 

submitted to the FAA on December 23, 

2010, noise exposure maps, descriptions 

and other documentation that were 

produced during the ‘‘2010 Update to 14 

CFR Part 150 Noise Exposure Maps and 

Noise Compatibility Program.’’ It was 

requested that the FAA review this 

material as the noise exposure maps, as 

described in section 47503 of the Act, 

and that the noise mitigation measures, 

to be implemented jointly by the airport 

and surrounding communities, be 

approved as a noise compatibility 

program under section 47504 of the Act. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the noise exposure maps and related 

descriptions submitted by the St. Louis 

Airport Authority. The specific 

documentation determined to constitute 

the noise exposure maps includes: 

Current Noise Exposure Map (2010) as 

shown on Exhibit NEM–1, Future Noise 

Exposure Map/Noise Compatibility 

Program Map (2015) as shown on 

Exhibit NEM–2, and the associated 

supporting report, ‘‘14 CFR Part 150 

Noise Exposure Map Update and Noise 

Compatibility Program Update,’’ which 

contains all other narrative, graphic, or 

tabular representations of the data as 

required by section A150.101 of Part 

150, and sections 47503 and 47506 of 

the Act. The FAA has determined that 

these maps for the Lambert-St. Louis 

International Airport are in compliance 

with applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on April 5, 

2011. 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 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
