AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

findings on the noise compatibility 

program submitted by the Hawaii State 

Department of Transportation, Airports 

Division (DOT–A) 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’’). On January 12, 2010, the 

FAA determined that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by the DOT–A under 

Part 150 were in compliance with 

applicable requirements. On April 20, 

2011 the FAA approved the Kona 

International Airport at Keahole noise 

compatibility program. All of the 

recommendations of the program were 

approved. No program elements relating 

to new or revised flight procedures for 

noise abatement were proposed. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date 

of the FAA’s approval of the Noise 

Compatibility Program for Kona 

International Airport at Keahole is April 

20, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

location. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA has 

given its overall approval to the Noise 

Compatibility Program for Kona 

International Airport at Keahole, 

effective April 20, 2011. Under section 

104(a) of the Aviation Safety and Noise 

Abatement Act of 1979, as amended 

(herein after referred to as the ‘‘Act’’) 

[recodified as 49 U.S.C. 47504], 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 

Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) 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 FAR 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 FAR 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 

FAR 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, and an FAA decision on the 

request may require an environmental 

assessment of the proposed action. 

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-in-aid funding from the 

FAA under the Airport and Airway 

Improvement Act of 1982, as amended. 

Where federal funding is sought, 

requests for project grants must be 

submitted to the FAA Airports District 

Office in Honolulu, Hawaii. 

The DOT–A submitted to the FAA on 

April 27, 2009, the Noise Exposure 

Maps for evaluation. The FAA 

determined that the Noise Exposure 

Maps for Kona International Airport at 

Keahole were in compliance with 

applicable requirements on January 12, 

2010. Notice of this determination was 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 25, 2010 (Volume 75/No. 15/ 

pages 3959–3960). 

The Kona International Airport at 

Keahole study contains a proposed 

noise compatibility program comprised 

of actions designed for phased 

implementation by airport management 

and adjacent jurisdictions. It was 

requested that the FAA evaluate and 

approve this material as a Noise 

Compatibility Program as described in 

49 U.S.C. 47504 (formerly Section 

104(b) of the Act). The FAA began its 

review of the program on October 27, 

2010, 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 Noise Compatibility Program 

recommended one Noise Abatement 

Element, eight Land Use Management 

Elements and three Program 

Management Elements. The FAA 

completed its review and determined
