SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by the Town of 

Addison for Addison Airport 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: Effective Date: The effective date 

of the FAA’s determination on the noise 

exposure maps is September 22, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul 

Blackford, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Airports Division, 2601

76137–4298, telephone (817) 222–5607.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for Addison Airport are in compliance 

with applicable requirements of part 

150, effective September 22, 2004. 

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 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 Federal Aviation 

Regulations (FAR) 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 noise exposure maps and 

accompanying documentation 

submitted by the Town of Addison. The 

documentation that constitutes the 

‘‘noise exposure maps’’ as defined in 

section 150.7 of part 150 includes the 

following from the August 2004, 14 CFR 

part 150 Noise Compatibility Study 

Update: Exhibit 1, 2002 Noise Exposure 

Map Contour With Land Use; Exhibit 2, 

2007 Noise Exposure Map Contour With 

Land Use; Exhibit 2E, Forecast 

Summary; Exhibit 3A, Aircraft Noise 

Measurement Sites and Table 3B, 

Measurement Results Summary; Table 

3D, Operational Fleet Mix Projections 

and Table 3F, Existing Runway Use; 

Exhibits 3F–3H and 3J, Flight Tracks; 

Table 3G, Comparative Areas of Noise 

Exposure; Table 4B, Noise Sensitive 

Land Uses Exposed to 2002 Aircraft 

Noise; Table 4C, Population Exposed to 

2002 Aircraft Noise; Table 4E, Noise—

Sensitive Land Uses Exposed to 2007 

Aircraft Noise; Appendix B, 

Coordination, Consultation, and Public 

Involvement. There are no Historic 

Resources within the DNL 65 contour. 

The FAA has determined that these 

noise exposure maps and accompanying 

documentation is in compliance with 

applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on September 

22, 2004. 

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. 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 noise exposure map 

documentation and of the FAA’s 

evaluation of the maps is available for 

examination at the following locations:

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

In 1999, the FAA established an 

Aviation Weather Technology Transfer 

(AWTT) Board to manage the orderly 

transfer of weather capabilities and 

products from research and 

development into operations. The 

Manager of Operations Planning Policy 

and Administration chairs the AWTT 

Board. The board is composed of 

stakeholders in the Air Traffic 

Organization, ATO and Regulation and 

Certification, AVR in the Federal 

Aviation Administration and the Office 

of Climate, Water and Weather Services, 

OS and the Office of Science and 

Technology, OST in the National 

Weather Service. 

The AWTT Board meets semiannually or as needed, to determine the 

readiness of weather research and 

development (R&D) products for 

experimental use, full operational use 

for meteorologists or full operational use 

for end users. The board’s 

determinations will be based upon 

criteria in the areas of users’ needs; 

benefits; costs; risks; technical 

readiness; operational readiness and 

budget requirements. 

The user interface process is designed 

to allow FAA to both report progress 

and receive feedback from industry 

users. Each AWTT board meeting will 

be preceded by a half-day industry 

review session approximately one 

month prior to each board meeting. 

These industry review sessions will be 

announced in the Federal Register and 

open to all interested parties. 

This meeting is the industry review 

session intended to receive feedback on 

weather R&D products that will be 

presented for consideration at the 

November 2004 AWTT Board meeting. 

The products to be considered are the 

Graphical Turbulence Guidance Flight 

(GTG) Flight Level 100–200 and the 

Forecast Icing Product—Alaska (FIP–
