Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice for San 

Francisco International Airport, San 

Francisco, California 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by the City and County 

of San Francisco for San Francisco 

International 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 February 10, 2016 and 

applicable January 29, 2016. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Camille Garibaldi, Federal Aviation 

Administration, San Francisco Airports 

District Office, 1000 Marina Boulevard, 

Suite 220, Brisbane, California 94005– 

1835; or telephone number: (650) 827– 

7613. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for San Francisco International Airport 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements of 14 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) part 150 (hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘part 150’’), effective 

January 29, 2016. 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 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 City and County of San 

Francisco. The documentation that 

constitutes the ‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ 

as defined in section 150.7 of part 150 

includes: Exhibit 5–1–2014 Noise 

Exposure Map—San Francisco 

International Airport [existing 

condition] and Exhibit 5–2–2019 Noise 

Exposure Map—San Francisco 

International Airport [5-year forecast 

condition]. The Noise Exposure Maps 

contain current and forecast information 

including the depiction of the airport 

and its boundary; the runway 

configurations, land uses such as 

residential, commercial, industrial, and 

open space/recreational land use; 

locations of noise sensitive public 

buildings (such as schools, hospitals, 

and historic properties on or eligible for 

the National Register of Historic Places); 

and the Community Noise Equivalent 

Level (CNEL) 65, 70, and 75 decibel 

airport noise contours resulting from 

existing and forecast airport operations. 

The frequency of airport operations is 

described in section 4.6 of the Noise 

Exposure Map Update report. Flight 

tracks associated with San Francisco 

International Airport are depicted in 

Exhibits 4–3 through 4–10a. The San 

Francisco International Airport noise 

monitoring system is described in 

section 4.7 and monitoring locations are 

shown on Exhibit 4–11 of the report. 

Estimates of the number of people 

residing within the CNEL contours is 

located in section 5.5 of the Noise 

Exposure Map Update report. The FAA 

has determined that these noise 

exposure maps and accompanying 

documentation are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on January 29, 

2016. 

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 

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

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 10, 2016 / Notices 7187 

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. 

Copies of the full noise exposure map 

documentation and of the FAA’s 

evaluation of the maps are available for 

examination at the following locations:

Federal Highway Administration 

Buy America Waiver Notification 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice provides 

information regarding FHWA’s finding 

that a Buy America waiver is 

appropriate for the use of non-domestic 

Ferryboat Propulsion System (propeller, 

shafting, and reducing gear) for MV 

Matanuska ferry in the State of Alaska. 

DATES: The effective date of the waiver 

is February 11, 2016. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions about this notice, please 

contact Mr. Gerald Yakowenko, FHWA 

Office of Program Administration, (202) 

366–1562, or via email at gerald.

yakowenko@dot.gov. For legal 

questions, please contact Mr. Jomar 

Maldonado, FHWA Office of the Chief 

Counsel, (202) 366–1373, or via email at

Background 

The FHWA’s Buy America policy in 

23 CFR 635.410 requires a domestic 

manufacturing process for any steel or 

iron products (including protective 

coatings) that are permanently 

incorporated in a Federal-aid 

construction project. The regulation also 

provides for a waiver of the Buy 

America requirements when the 

application would be inconsistent with 

the public interest or when satisfactory 

quality domestic steel and iron products 

are not sufficiently available. This 

notice provides information regarding 

FHWA’s finding that a Buy America 

waiver is appropriate for use of a nondomestic Ferryboat Propulsion System 

(propeller, shafting, and reducing gear) 

for MV Matanuska ferry in the State of 

Alaska. 

In accordance with Division K, 

section 122 of the ‘‘Consolidated and 

Further Continuing Appropriations Act 

of 2015’’ (PL 113–235), FHWA 

published a notice of intent to issue a 

waiver on its Web site (https:// 

www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/

contracts/waivers.cfm?id=116) on 

December 8, 2015. The FHWA received 

no comments in response to the 

publication. Based on all the 

information available to the agency, 

FHWA concludes that there are no 

domestic manufacturers of Ferryboat 

Propulsion System (propeller, shafting, 

and reducing gear). 

In accordance with the provisions of 

section 117 of the Safe, Accountable, 

Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity 

Act: A Legacy for Users, Technical 

Corrections Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110– 

244, 122 Stat. 1572), FHWA is providing 

this notice as its finding that a waiver 

of Buy America requirements is 

appropriate. The FHWA invites public 

comment on this finding for an 

additional 15 days following the 

effective date of the finding. Comments 

may be submitted to FHWA’s Web site 

via the link provided to the waiver page 

noted above.
