5650 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 24 / Thursday, February 5, 2004 / Notices 

part 150 by Little Rock Municipal 

Airport Commission. This program was 

submitted subsequent to a 

determination by FAA that associated 

noise exposure maps submitted under 

14 CFR part 150 for Little Rock National 

Airport were in compliance with 

applicable requirements, effective May 

13, 2002 (announced in the Federal 

Register, Volume 67, Number 105, May 

31, 2002). The proposed noise 

compatibility program will be approved 

or disapproved on or before July 21, 

2004.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the 

start of FAA’s review of the noise 

compatibility program is January 23, 

2004. The public comment period ends 

March 23, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim 

Tandy, ASW–630, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Fort Worth, Texas 

76139–0630; telephone 817–222–5635. 

Comments on the proposed noise 

compatibility program should also be 

submitted to the above office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA is 

reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program for Little Rock 

National Airport which will be 

approved or disapproved on or before 

July 21, 2004. This notice also 

announces the availability of this 

program for public review and 

comment. 

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 reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses.

The FAA has formally received the 

noise compatibility program for Little 

Rock National Airport, effective on 

January 23, 2004. The airport operator 

has requested that the FAA review this 

material 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. Preliminary review of 

the submitted material indicates that it 

conforms to FAR Part 150 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 July 21, 2004. 

The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be 

conducted under the provisions of 14 

CFR Part 150, § 150.33. The primary 

considerations in the evaluation process 

are whether the proposed measures may 

reduce the level of aviation safety or 

create an undue burden on interstate or 

foreign commerce, and whether they are 

reasonably consistent with obtaining the 

goal of reducing existing noncompatible land uses and preventing the 

introduction of additional noncompatible land uses. 

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on the proposed program with 

specific reference to these factors. All 

comments relating to these factors, 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 and 

the proposed noise compatibility 

program are available for examination at 

the following locations:
