31052 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 94 / Monday, May 15, 2000 / Notices

Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150,

effective May 2, 2000.

Under Section 103 of the Aviation

Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979

(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’), an

airport operator may submit to the FAA

Noise Exposure Maps which meet

applicable regulations and which depict

noncompatible 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 FAR Part 150,

promulgated pursuant to Title I of the

Act, may submit a Noise Compatibility

Program for FAA approval which sets

forth the measures the operator has

taken or proposes for the reduction of

existing noncompatible uses and for the

prevention of the introduction of

additional noncompatible uses.

The FAA has completed its review of

the Noise Exposure Maps and

supporting documentation submitted by

the Williams Gateway Airport

Authority. The specific maps under

consideration are Exhibit 1, ‘‘1999 Noise

Exposure Map’’ and Exhibit 2, ‘‘2004

Noise Exposure Map’’ in the

submission. The FAA has determined

that these maps for Williams Gateway

Airport are in compliance with

applicable requirements. This

determination is effective on May 2,

2000. FAA’s acceptance of 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 acceptance 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 103 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 107 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 FAR

part 150 or through FAA’s review of the

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 which submitted those

maps, or with those public agencies and

planning agencies with which

consultation is required under Section

103 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 Noise Exposure Maps

and of the FAA’s evaluation of the maps

are available for examination at the

following locations:
