**Federal Aviation Administration**

**Noise Exposure Map Notice; Portsmouth International Airport at**  **Pease; Portsmouth, Newington, and Greenland, New Hampshire** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its determination that the noise exposure maps for Portsmouth International Airport at Pease, as submitted by the Pease Development Authority under the provisions of Title I of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96–193) 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 July 30, 2014.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Richard Doucette, Federal Aviation Administration, New England Region, Airports Division, 12 New England Executive Park, Burlington,
Massachusetts 01803.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This
notice announces that the FAA finds that the noise exposure maps submitted for Portsmouth International Airport at Pease are in compliance with applicable requirements of Part 150, effective July

30, 2014.

Under Section 103 of Title I of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may submit to the FAA noise exposure maps that meet applicable regulations and that 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,


### 47172 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 155 / Tuesday, August 12, 2014 / Notices

government agencies, and persons using the airport.

An airport operator who has submitted such noise exposure maps that are found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 150, promulgated pursuant to Title I of the Act, may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval that sets forth the measures the operator has taken, or proposes, for the
introduction of additional noncompatible uses.

The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure map and related descriptions submitted by the Pease Development Authority. The specific maps under consideration were Figure 4–1 ‘‘2014 Existing Conditions Noise Exposure Map’’ and Figure 4–2 ‘‘2019
Five-Year forecast conditions Noise Exposure Map’’ in the submission. The FAA has determined that these maps for Portsmouth International Airport at Pease are in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on July 30, 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.

If questions arise concerning the precise relationship of specific properties to noise exposure contours depicted on a noise exposure map submitted under Section 103 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 107 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 a noise exposure map. 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 the map or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which consultation is required under Section
103 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 noise exposure maps and of the FAA’s evaluation of the maps
are available for examination at the following locations: Pease Development Authority, 55

International Drive, Portsmouth, NH

England Region, Airports Division, 12 New England Executive Park, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803. Questions may be directed to the

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery.

Background: The information collection activity will garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.

Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful information, but it will not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: the target population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design (including stratification and clustering),
