Delegation to allow certain authority 

granted therein to be re-delegated and to

[Docket No. 4910–13] 

Noise Exposure Map Update for 

Albany International Airport, Albany, 

NY 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the updated noise 

exposure maps submitted by the Albany 

County Airport Authority (ACAA), for 

Albany 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 December 19, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Suki Gill, Environmental Protection 

Specialist, Federal Aviation 

Administration, New York Airports 

District Office, 600 Old Country Road, 

Suite 446, Garden City, NY 11530, 

Telephone (516) 227–3815. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the updated noise exposure maps 

submitted for Albany International 

Airport are in compliance with 

applicable requirements of 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150 

(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘part 150’’), 

effective December 19, 2011. Under 49 

U.S.C. section 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 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

1The Board will grant a stay if an informed 

decision on environmental issues (whether raised 

by a party or by the Board’s Office of Environmental 

Analysis (OEA) in its independent investigation) 

cannot be made before the exemption’s effective 

date. See Exemption of Out-of-Serv. Rail Lines, 5 

I.C.C.2d 377 (1989). Any request for a stay should 

be filed as soon as possible so that the Board may 

take appropriate action before the exemption’s 

effective date. 

2Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing 

fee, which currently is set at $1,500. See 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(25). 

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 the NFTA. The 

documentation that constitutes the 

‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in 

section 150.7 of part 150 includes: 

Figure NEM–1 ‘‘Existing (2009) Noise 

Exposure Map’’ and Exhibit NEM–2 

‘‘Future (2014) Noise Exposure Map’’. 

The FAA has determined that these 

noise exposure maps and accompanying 

documentation are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on December 

19, 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 

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 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:

or local government entity acting on 

behalf of such user) regarding cessation 

of service over the line either is pending 

with the Surface Transportation Board 

(Board) or with any U.S. District Court
