SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice announces that the FAA finds

that the noise exposure maps submitted

for the Juneau International Airport are

in compliance with applicable

requirements of Part 150, effective June

16, 2000. Further, FAA is reviewing a

proposed noise compatibility program

for that airport which will be approved

availability of this program for public

review and comment.

Under section 103 of Title I 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 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 Federal Aviation

Regulations (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 non-compatible uses and for the

prevention of the introduction of

additional non-compatible uses.

The City and Borough of Juneau

submitted to the FAA on July 8, 1999

noise exposure maps, descriptions and

other documentation which were

produced during the 1999 Noise

Compatibility Program for the Juneau

International Airport FAR Part 150

Update. It was requested that the FAA

review this material as the noise

exposure maps, as described in section

103(a)(1) of the Act, and that the noise

mitigation measures, to be implemented

jointly by the airport and surrounding

communities, be approved as a noise

compatibility program under section

104(b) of the Act.

The FAA has completed its review of

the noise exposure maps and related

descriptions submitted by the City and

Borough of Juneau. The specific maps

under consideration are Existing (1999)

Noise Exposure Maps, figure 8.2 and the

Five-Year Future (2004) Noise Exposure

Map, Figure 8.3 in the submission. The

FAA has determined that these maps for

the Juneau International Airport are in

compliance with applicable

requirements. This determination is

effective on June 16, 2000. 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

105. Such determination does not

constitute approval of the applicant’s

data, information or plans, or a

commitment to approve a noise
