DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice for Lehigh 

Valley International Airport, Allentown, 

Pennsylvania 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by the LehighNorthampton Airport Authority for 

Lehigh Valley 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 November 28, 2016. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Harrisburg Airports District Office (HAR 

ADO), Susan L. McDonald, 

Environmental Protection Specialist, 

Federal Aviation Administration, HAR 

ADO, 3905 Hartzdale Drive, Suite 508, 

Camp Hill, PA 17011, Telephone: (717) 

730–2830. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for Lehigh Valley International Airport 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements of 14 CFR 150 (part 150), 

effective January 13, 2004. 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 estimated aircraft 

operations during a forecast period that 

is at least five (5) years in the future; 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, planning authorities, and 

persons using the airport. An airport 

operator that has submitted noise 

exposure maps that are found by FAA 

to be in compliance with the 

requirements of Federal Aviation 

Regulations (FAR) 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 Lehigh-Northampton 

Airport Authority. The documentation 

that constitutes the ‘‘Noise Exposure 

Maps’’ (NEM) as defined in Section 

150.7 of Part 150 includes 2015 Base 

Year NEM, Figure 4–5; and 2020 Future 

Year NEM, Figure 5–1. The Noise 

Exposure Maps contain current and 

forecast information, including the 

depiction of the airport and its 

mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 234 / Tuesday, December 6, 2016 / Notices 88001 

boundaries; the runway configurations; 

land uses such as residential, open 

space, commercial/retail, community 

facilities, libraries, churches, and 

warehouses; and those areas within the 

Day Night Average Sound Level (DNL) 

65, 70 and 75 noise contours. Estimates 

for the area within these contours for 

the 2015 Base Year are shown in Table 

4–8 and Table 4–9, and in Chapter 4 of 

the NEM. Estimates of the residential 

population within the 2020 Future Year 

noise contours are shown in Table 5–5, 

and in Chapter 5 of the NEM. Figure 3– 

1, in Chapter 3, displays the location of 

noise monitoring sites. Flight tracks are 

found in Chapter 4, and detailed in 

Appedix C. The type and frequency of 

aircraft operations (including nighttime 

operations) are found in Chapter 4, 

Tables 4–5 and 4–6. The FAA has 

determined that these noise exposure 

maps and accompanying documentation 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on November 28, 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 

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 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 the 

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 FAR 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:

program, ‘‘Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery’’ (OMB 

program). FRA will submit the 

information collection requirements 

described below to OMB for review, as 

required by the PRA. The OMB program 

was created to facilitate Federal 

agencies’ efforts to streamline the 

process to seek public feedback on 

service delivery. Current FRA clearance

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments 

on any or all of the following proposed 

activities by mail to Ms. Kimberly 

Toone, Office of Information 

Technology, RAD–20, Federal Railroad 

Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. 

SE., Mail Stop 35, Washington, DC 

20590. Commenters requesting FRA to 

acknowledge receipt of their respective 

comments must include a self-addressed 

stamped postcard stating, ‘‘Comments 

on OMB control number 2130–0593.’’ 

Alternatively, comments may be 

transmitted via facsimile to (202) 493– 

6497, or via email to Ms. Toone at 

Kim.Toone@dot.gov. Please refer to the 

assigned OMB control number in any 

correspondence submitted. FRA will 

summarize comments received in 

response to this notice in a subsequent 

notice and include them in its 

information collection submission to 

OMB for approval. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive 

Order 12862 (1993) (Setting Customer 

Service Standards) directed all Federal 

executive departments and agencies and 

requested independent Federal agencies 

to provide service to ‘‘customers’’ that 

matches or exceeds the best service 

available in the private sector. See also 

Executive Order 13571 (2011) 

(Streamlining Service Delivery and 

Improving Customer Service). For 

purposes of these orders, ‘‘customer’’ 

means an individual who or entity that 

is directly served by a Federal 

department or agency. FRA seeks 

renewed OMB approval of a generic 

clearance to collect qualitative feedback 

on our service delivery (i.e., the 

products and services that FRA creates 

to help consumers and businesses 

understand their rights and 

responsibilities, including Web sites, 

blogs, videos, print publications, and 

other content). 

Below is a brief summary of the 

information collection activity FRA will 

submit to OMB for clearance as required 

under the PRA: 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery OMB Control 

Number: 2130–0593. 

Status: Regular Review.
