2On October 14, 2016, CGA and Newton Trail 

also filed a letter to correct their September 28, 

2016 notification that a lease agreement for interim 

trail use and rail banking had been reached. This 

filing as well as the modification of the NITU to 

reflect the correct location of milepost E 65.80 will 

be addressed in a separate decision. 

Appendix A to its July 1, 2013 verified 

notice did not properly depict the 

location of milepost E 65.80, and that 

parentheticals in the notice incorrectly 

refer to milepost E 65.80 as: ‘‘(at the 

point of the Line’s crossing of Route 229 

in Newborn).’’ 2 Thus, CGR requests that 

the Board accept the corrected map 

attached to the October 14, 2016 letter 

and clarify the parenthetical references 

to milepost E 65.80 in its July 1, 2013 

verified notice and the notice the Board 

served and published on July 19, 2013, 

to read: ‘‘(a point just east of the Ziegler 

Road crossing west of downtown 

Newborn)’’. These corrections are 

recognized here. All of the remaining 

information in the July 19, 2013 notice 

remains unchanged.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Approval of Noise Compatibility 

Program for Bob Hope Airport, 

Burbank, California 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

findings on the noise compatibility 

program submitted by BurbankGlendale-Pasadena Airport Authority 

under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 

et seq. (formerly the Aviation Safety and 

Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150 

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

These findings are made in recognition 

of the description of Federal and 

nonfederal responsibilities in Senate 

Report No. 96–52 (1990). On October 10, 

2013, the FAA determined that the 

noise exposure maps submitted by 

Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport 

Authority under Part 150 were in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. On October 24, 2016, the 

FAA approved the Bob Hope Airport 

noise compatibility program. Fifteen 

(15) of the eighteen (18) total number of 

recommendations of the program were 

approved. Two (2) of the eighteen (18) 

total number of recommendations of the 

program were approved in part. For one 

(1) of the eighteen (18) program 

measures there was no action required 

at this time. No program elements 

relating to new or revised flight 

procedures for noise abatement were 

proposed by the airport operator. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date 

of the FAA’s approval of the noise 

compatibility program for Bob Hope 

Airport is October 24, 2016.

location. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA has 

given its overall approval to the noise 

compatibility program for Bob Hope 

Airport, effective October 24, 2016. 

Under section 47504 of the Act, an 

airport operator who has previously 

submitted a noise exposure map may 

submit to the FAA a noise compatibility 

program which sets forth the measures 

taken or proposed by the airport 

operator for the reduction of existing 

non-compatible land uses and 

prevention of additional non-compatible 

land uses within the area covered by the 

noise exposure maps. The Act requires 

such programs to be developed in 

consultation with interested and 

affected parties including local 

communities, government agencies, 

airport users, and FAA personnel. 

Each airport noise compatibility 

program developed in accordance with 

Part 150 is a local program, not a 

Federal program. The FAA does not 

substitute its judgment for that of the 

airport proprietor with respect to which 

measures should be recommended for 

action. The FAA’s approval or 

disapproval of Part 150 program 

recommendations is measured 

according to the standards expressed in 

Part 150 and the Act and is limited to 

the following determinations: 

a. The noise compatibility program 

was developed in accordance with the 

provisions and procedures of Part 150; 

b. Program measures are reasonably 

consistent with achieving the goals of 

reducing existing non-compatible land 

uses around the airport and preventing 

the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses; 

c. Program measures would not create 

an undue burden on interstate or foreign 

commerce, unjustly discriminate against 

types or classes of aeronautical uses, 

violate the terms of airport grant 

agreements, or intrude into areas 

preempted by the Federal Government; 

and 

d. Program measures relating to the 

use of flight procedures can be 

implemented within the period covered 

by the program without derogating 

safety, adversely affecting the efficient 

use and management of the navigable 

airspace and air traffic control systems, 

or adversely affecting other powers and 

responsibilities of the Administrator 

prescribed by law. 

Specific limitations with respect to 

FAA’s approval of an airport noise 

compatibility program are delineated in 

Part 150, section 150.5. Approval is not 

a determination concerning the 

acceptability of land uses under Federal, 

state, or local law. Approval does not by 

itself constitute an FAA implementing 

action. A request for Federal action or 

approval to implement specific noise 

compatibility measures may be 

required. Prior to an FAA decision on a 

request to implement the action, an 

environmental review of the proposed 

action may be required. Approval does 

not constitute a commitment by the 

FAA to financially assist in the 

implementation of the program nor a 

determination that all measures covered 

by the program are eligible for grant-inaid funding from the FAA. Where 

federal funding is sought, requests for 

project grants must be submitted to the 

FAA Los Angeles Airports District 

Office in the Western-Pacific Region. 

Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport 

Authority submitted to the FAA on June 

27, 2013 the noise exposure maps, 

descriptions and other documentation 

produced during the noise compatibility 

planning study conducted from 

September 13, 2011 through October 24, 

2016. The Bob Hope Airport noise 

exposure maps were determined by 

FAA to be in compliance with 

applicable requirements on October 10, 

2013. Notice of this determination was 

published in the Federal Register (78 

FR 64048) on October 25, 2013. 

The Bob Hope Airport study contains 

a proposed noise compatibility program 

comprised of actions designed for 

phased implementation by airport 

management and adjacent jurisdictions 

from December 30, 2014 to the year 

mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 226 / Wednesday, November 23, 2016 / Notices 84675 

2017. It was requested that the FAA 

evaluate and approve this material as a 

noise compatibility program as 

described in section 47504 of the Act. 

The FAA began its review of the 

program on May 11, 2016, and was 

required by a provision of the Act to 

approve or disapprove the program 

within 180 days (other than the use of 

new or modified flight procedures for 

noise control). Failure to approve or 

disapprove such program within the 

180-day period shall be deemed to be an 

approval of such program. 

The submitted program contained 18 

proposed actions for noise abatement, 

noise mitigation, land use planning and 

program management measures on and 

off the airport. The FAA completed its 

review and determined that the 

procedural and substantive 

requirements of the Act and Part 150 

have been satisfied. The overall program 

was approved by the FAA, effective 

October 24, 2016. 

FAA approval was granted for fifteen 

(15) specific program measures. The 

approved measures included such items 

as: Continue Requiring All Transport 

Category and Turbojet Aircraft to 

Comply with Federal Aircraft Noise 

Regulations; Continue Requiring 

Compliance with the Airport’s Engine 

Test Run-up Policy; Continue Promoting 

Use of AC 91–53A, Noise Abatement 

Departure Procedures by Air Carrier Jets 

as voluntary only; Continue Promoting 

Use of NBAA Noise Abatement 

Procedures, or Equivalent Manufacturer 

Procedures, by General Aviation Jet 

Aircraft as voluntary only; Continue 

Working with the FAA Airport Traffic 

Control Tower to Maintain the Typical 

Traffic Pattern Altitude of 1,800 feet 

MSL as voluntary only; Continue the 

Placement of New Buildings on the 

Airport North of Runway 8–26 to Shield 

Nearby Neighborhood From Noise on 

Runway; Designate Runway 26 as 

Nighttime Preferential Departure 

Runway as voluntary only; Build Engine 

Maintenance Run-Up Enclosure; Revise 

Residential Acoustical Treatment 

Program to Include Single Family 

Homes Within 65 Community Noise 

Equivalent Level (CNEL) Contour Based 

on 2017 NEM that were constructed or 

existed before October 1, 1998; Establish 

Acoustical Treatment Program for 

Multi-Family Dwelling Units Within the 

2017 Acoustical Treatment Eligibility 

Area that were constructed or existed 

before October 1, 1998; Provision for 

Retention or an Easement Preventing 

Noise-Sensitive Land Uses of Property 

Located in the Northeast Quadrant of 

the Airport within the 2017 65 CNEL 

Noise Exposure Contour (This measure 

would prevent the development of 

noise-sensitive land uses within the 65 

CNEL noise contour and that would 

jeopardize the long-term viability of the 

airport.); Continue Noise Abatement 

Information Program (For the purpose of 

aviation safety, this approval does not 

extend to the use of monitoring 

equipment for enforcement purposes by 

in-situ measurement of any pre-set noise 

thresholds.); Monitor Implementation of 

Updated Noise Compatibility Program; 

Update Noise Exposure Maps and Noise 

Compatibility Program (In order to 

comply with 14 CFR part 150, the 

proposed changes should be submitted 

to FAA for approval after local 

consultation and a public hearing has 

been conducted.); Maintain Log of 

Nighttime Runway Use and Operations 

by Aircraft Type. 

FAA approved in part, disapproved in 

part on two (2) specific program 

measures. The first approved in part, 

disapproved in part measure is: 

Continue Existing Acoustical Treatment 

Program for Single Family Homes. The 

portion of this measure that is approved 

is limited to single family homes that 

are located within the 65 CNEL noise 

contour for the forecasted year 2017 

accepted by the FAA on October 10, 

2013. The portion that is disapproved is 

acoustical treatment of homes that 

previously were within the 65 CNEL 

contour for the forecast year 2000 NEM 

submitted in 1988, but that are now 

outside of the 65 CNEL contours for the 

NEMs submitted with this Part 150 

update; The second approved in part, 

disapproved in part measure is: For 

Otherwise Qualified Property Owners 

Who Have Been Unable to Participate in 

the Residential Acoustical Treatment 

Program (RATP) Due to Building Code 

Deficiencies, Offer to Purchase a Noise 

Easement as an Option for Owners of 

Single Family and Multi-Family 

Properties in the 2017 Acoustical 

Treatment Eligibility Area That Have 

Not Been Treated. The portion of this 

measure that is approved is the Airport 

Authority may offer avigation easements 

to property owners within the 2017 65 

CNEL noise contour accepted by the 

FAA on October 10, 2013. The portions 

that are disapproved are the additional 

local requirements proposed for 

easement eligibility. 

FAA determined that there is no 

action required at this time on one (1) 

specific program measure. This measure 

is Establish Noise Abatement Departure 

Turn for Jet Takeoffs on Runway 26. 

This measure relates to flight 

procedures under Section 104(b). 

Additional review by FAA is necessary 

to evaluate the operational safety, 

feasibility, and environmental effects of 

this proposal. 

These determinations are set forth in 

detail in a Record of Approval signed by 

the Director, Office of Airports, 

Western-Pacific Region (AWP–600) on 

October 24, 2016. The Record of 

Approval, as well as other evaluation 

materials and the documents 

comprising the submittal, are available 

for review at the FAA office listed above 

and at the administrative offices of the 

Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport 

Authority.
