NY 11434. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

invites public comment for a change in 

use from aeronautical to nonaeronautical to provide for the use of an 

existing facility for manufacturing 

purposes, at Elmira/Corning Regional 

Airport under the provisions of 49 

U.S.C. 47125(a). Based on a full review, 

the FAA determined that the request for 

a change in use from aeronautical to 

non-aeronautical to provide for the use 

of an existing facility for manufacturing 

purposes, at Elmira/Corning Regional 

Airport, Horseheads, NY., met the 

procedural requirements. 

The Following Is a Brief Overview of the 

Request 

The airport sponsor is requesting a 

change in use from aeronautical to nonaeronautical for a 10.27 acre site located 

along Kahler Road, including an 

existing 96,000 square foot 

manufacturing facility, 5,000 square foot 

storage hangar, and adjoining 187,500 

square foot parking lot with capacity for 

332 parking stalls. In addition, the 

proposal includes a 6,400 square foot 

expansion to the existing facility to 

support administrative and engineering 

offices. The site would be utilized for 

glass manufacturing operations by a 

privately owned company. There is 

currently no short or long term 

aeronautical demand for the site, or 

interest from an aeronautical tenant to 

occupy the space. The Airport will 

structure a land lease with the 

prospective tenant based on fair market 

value, along with the fee simple sale of 

the buildings. All proceeds generated 

from the lease agreement and fee simple 

sale must be used exclusively by the 

airport in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

47107(b) and the FAA’s policy on 

revenue use. 

Any person may inspect the request 

by appointment at the FAA office 

address listed above. Interested persons 

are invited to comment on the proposed 

change of use from aeronautical to nonaeronautical. All comments will be 

considered by the FAA to the extent 

practicable.

Alaska 99513, 907–271–5453. 

Comments on the proposed Noise 

Compatibility Program should also be 

submitted to the above office. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

Notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted 

for Ted Stevens Anchorage International 

Airport and Lake Hood Seaplane Base 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements of 14 CFR part 150, 

effective July 27, 2015. Further, FAA is 

reviewing a proposed Noise 

Compatibility Program under Part 150 

in conjunction with the Noise Exposure 

Map which will be approved or 

disapproved on or before January 23, 

2016. This notice also announces the 

availability of this Program for public 

review and comment. 

Under 49 U.S.C., Section 47503, the 

Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

Act, (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 Alaska Department of 

Transportation & Public Facilities 

submitted to the FAA on December 19, 

2014 Noise Exposure Maps, descriptions 

and other documentation that were 

produced during the conducted between 

November 17, 2011 and December 19, 

2014. It was requested that the FAA 

review this material as the Noise 

Exposure Maps, as described in Section 

47503 of the Act, and that the noise 

mitigation measures, to be implemented 

jointly by the airports and surrounding 

communities, be approved as a Noise 

Compatibility Program under Section 

47504 of the Act. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the Noise Exposure Maps and 

accompanying documentation 

submitted by the Alaska Department of 

Transportation & Public Facilities. The 

documentation that constitutes the 

‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in 

Section 150.7 of Part 150 include: 

Figure D31 Exisitng Noise Exposure 

Map—2009 and Figure I1 Future Noise 

Exposre Map—2020 and the 

accompanying documentation are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on July 27, 2015. FAA’s 

determination on the 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 14 CFR part 

150. Such determination does not 

constitute approval of the airport 

operator’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 exposure 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. 

The FAA has formally received the 

Noise Compatibility Program for Ted 

Stevens Anchorage International Airport 

and Lake Hood Seaplane Base, also 

effective on July 27, 2015. Preliminary 

review of the submitted material 

indicates that it conforms to the 

requirements for the submittal of Noise 

Compatibility Programs, but that further 

review will be necessary prior to 

approval or disapproval of the program. 

The formal review period, limited by 

law to a maximum of 180 days, will be 

completed on or before January 23, 

2016. 

The FAA’s approval or disapproval of 

each specific measure proposed by an 

airport sponsor in a Noise Compatibility 

Plan is determined by applying 

approval criteria prescribed in 14 CFR 

150.35(b). Only measures that meet the 

approval criteria can be approved and 

considered for Federal funding 

eligibility. Note that FAA approval or 

disapproval of a measure only indicates 

whether that measure would, if 

implemented, be consistent with the 

purposes of 14 CFR part 150. When an 

ROA measure is disapproved by the 

FAA, airport sponsors are not precluded 

from and are encouraged to work with 

the FAA and their communities outside 

of the rigors of the Part 150 process to 

implement initiatives that provide noise 

benefits for the surrounding community. 

Approval of a measure does not 

constitute a FAA funding commitment 

or decision to implement that measure. 

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on the proposed program with 

specific reference to these factors. To 

maximize the effectiveness of comments 

and the FAAs understanding of them, 

comments should be as specific as 

possible identifying the concern(s) as 

well as suggested or desired resolution 

to the concern(s). When possible, quote 

text and cite details such as page and 

section numbers, NCP measure number, 

etc. to which the comment(s) pertain(s). 

This commenting procedure is intended 

to ensure that substantive comments 

and concerns are made available to the 

FAA in a timely manner so that the FAA 

has an opportunity to address them in 

its Record of Approval. Please note, all 

comments in their entirety become part 

of the public record, including any 

personal information provided in the 

comment including name, address, 

phone number, etc. 

To arrange an appointment to review 

the documents and any questions may 

be directed to the individual named 

above under the heading, FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.
