Federal Aviation Administration 

Acceptance of Noise Exposure Maps 

for Indianapolis International Airport 

(IND), Indianapolis, Indiana 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the updated noise 

exposure maps submitted by the 

Indianapolis International Airport (IND) 

under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 

et. seq (Aviation Safety and Noise 

Abatement Act) and 14 CFR part 150 are 

in compliance with applicable 

requirements. 

DATES: This notice is effective April 18, 

2014, and applicable April 8, 2014. The 

public comment period ends May 8, 

2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Amy Hanson, Environmental Protection 

Specialist, CHI–603, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Chicago Airport District 

Office, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des 

Plaines, IL 60018. Telephone number: 

847–294–7354. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the updated noise exposure maps 

submitted for Indianapolis International 

Airport (IND) are in compliance with 

applicable requirements of Title 14 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

150, effective (Note 1). Under 49 U.S.C. 

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 

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 14 CFR 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 FAA has completed its review of 

the updated noise exposure maps and 

accompanying documentation 

submitted by Indianapolis International 

Airport (IND). The documentation that 

constitutes the ‘‘noise exposure maps’’ 

as defined in section 150.7 of Part 150 

includes: Exhibit NEM–1, Existing 

(2013) Noise Exposure Map; Exhibit 

NEM–2, Future (2018) Noise Exposure 

Map; Table 1, Distribution of Average 

Daily Operations by Aircraft Type 

Existing (2013) Conditions; Exhibit 2, 

Noise Abatement Flight Paths (Day— 

7:00AM to 7:00PM); Exhibit 3, Noise 

Abatement Flight Paths (Evening and 

Night—7:00PM to 7:00AM); Exhibit 4, 

North Flow Large Passenger Jet INM 

Flight Tracks; Exhibit 5, North Flow 

Large Cargo Jet INM Flight Tracks; 

Exhibit 6, North Flow Regional/Air Taxi 

Jet INM Flight Tracks; 

Exhibit 7, North Flow Propeller 

Aircraft INM Flight Tracks; Exhibit 8, 

South Flow Large Passenger Jet INM 

Flight Tracks; Exhibit 9, South Flow 

Large Cargo Jet INM Flight Tracks; 

Exhibit 10, South Flow Regional/Air 

Taxi Jet INM Flight Tracks; Exhibit 11, 

South Flow Propeller Aircraft INM 

Flight Tracks; Exhibit 12, Existing 

(2013) Noise Exposure Contour; Exhibit 

13, Existing (2013) Noise Exposure 

Contour Compared to (Previous) Future 

2008 NEM/NCP (from 2008 Update); 

Exhibit 14, INM Grid Point Locations; 

Exhibit 15, Future (2018) Noise 

Exposure Contour; Exhibit 16, Future 

(2018) Noise Exposure Contour 

compared to Existing (2013) Noise 

Exposure Contour; and Exhibit 17, 

Completed Land Use and 

Environmental Mitigation Program 

Boundaries. 

The FAA has determined that these 

updated noise exposure maps and 

accompanying documentation are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on April 3, 2014. 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 a 

commitment to approve a noise 

compatibility program or to fund the 

implementation of that program.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 75 / Friday, April 18, 2014 / Notices 21993 

If questions arise concerning the 

precise relationship of specific 

properties to noise exposure contours 

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 FAR part 150, 

that the statutorily required consultation 

has been accomplished. 

Copies of the full updated noise 

exposure map documentation and of the 

FAA’s evaluation of the maps are 

available for examination, upon prior 

appointment during normal business 

hours, at the following locations:

Street in a modified diamond 

configuration, where the southbound 

off-ramp is located on 2550 South, and 

the southbound on-ramp is located on 

Pennsylvania Avenue; construct 

northbound and southbound auxiliary 

lanes on I–15 between the 24th Street 

and 21st Street Interchanges; widen 

24th Street from two lanes to four lanes 

from the planned intersection of 2550 

South and Pennsylvania Avenue to 900 

West; restripe 2550 South from two 

lanes to three lanes; construct a new 

alignment to the southeast of Midland 

Drive at Pennsylvania Avenue 

connecting to the intersection of 1900 

West and Midland Drive comprised of 

four lanes, a center turn lane, paved 

shoulders, curb, gutter, parkstrip, and 

sidewalk; realign the access road for the 

Northern Utah Community Correctional 

Center to avoid conflicts with the 

northbound I–15 on-ramp; remove the 

railroad tracks beneath I–15 at 24th 

Street and construct additional track on 

Midland Drive and north of 24th Street.
