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 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 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 FAR Part 150,

that the statutorily required consultation

has been accomplished.

The FAA has formally received the

noise compatibility program for the

Juneau International Airport, also

effective on June 16, 2000. Preliminary

review of the submitted material

indicates that it conforms to the

requirements for the submittal of noise

compatibility programs, but the 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 December 13,

2000.

The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be

conducted under the provisions of 14

CFR Part 150, section 150.33. The

primary considerations in the

evaluation process are whether the

proposed measures may reduce the level

of aviation safety, create an undue

burden on interstate or foreign

commerce, or be reasonably consistent

with obtaining the goal of reducing

existing non-compatible land uses and

preventing the introduction of

additional non-compatible land uses.

Interested persons are invited to

comment on the proposed program with

specific reference to these factors. All

comments, other than those properly

addressed to local land use authorities,

will be considered by the FAA to the

extent practicable. Copies of the noise

exposure maps, the FAA’s evaluation of

the maps, and the proposed noise

compatibility program are available for

examination at the following locations:
