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, 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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:

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),
