Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice for LA/

Ontario International Airport, Ontario, 

California 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by Los Angeles World 

Airports, for LA/Ontario 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: The effective date of the FAA’s 

determination on the noise exposure 

maps is April 6, 2016 and applicable 

March 29, 2016. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Victor Globa, Environmental Protection 

Specialist, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Los Angeles Airports 

District Office, Mailing Address: P.O. 

Box 92007, Los Angeles, California 

90009–2007. Street Address: 15000 

Aviation Boulevard, Hawthorne, 

California 90261. Telephone: 310/725– 

3637. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for LA/Ontario International Airport are 

in compliance with applicable 

requirements of Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150 

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

effective March 29, 2016. 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 

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 Los Angeles World 

Airports. The documentation that 

constitutes the ‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ 

as defined in Section 150.7 of part 150 

includes: Figure 13, Existing Conditions 

(2015) Noise Exposure Map; and Figure 

14, Forecast Conditions (2020) Noise 

Exposure Map. 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 2.1.2 of the Noise 

Exposure Map Update report. Flight 

tracks associated with LA/Ontario 

International Airport are depicted in 

Figures 8 through 11. The LA/Ontario 

International Airport noise monitoring 

system is described in Appendix B, 

Program Element 6.5, and monitoring 

locations are shown on Exhibits 8, 9, 12, 

13, 14 and 15 of the Noise Exposure 

Map Update report. Estimates of the 

number of people residing within the 

CNEL contours is located in Section 

3.2.2 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 

applicable on March 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 

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:
