DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

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.

precise relationship of specific 

properties to noise exposure contours

21940 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 75 / Tuesday, April 19, 2011 / Notices 

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 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 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 

the certification by the airport operator, 

under section 150.21 of Part 150, that 

the statutorily required consultation has 

been accomplished. 

The FAA has formally received the 

noise compatibility program for the 

Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, 

also effective on April 5, 2011. 

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 October 2, 2011. 

The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be 

conducted under the provisions of 

section 150.33 of Part 150. 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 

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 noise exposure maps, the FAA’s 

evaluation of the maps, and the 

proposed noise compatibility program 

are available for examination at the 

following locations:
