DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice; Receipt of 

Noise Compatibility Program and 

Request for Review; Danbury 

Municipal Airport; Danbury, CT 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

map for Danbury Municipal Airport, as 

submitted by the City of Danbury under 

the provisions of Title I of the Aviation 

Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 

(Pub. L. 96–193) and 14 CFR Part 150, 

is in compliance with applicable 

requirements. The FAA also announces 

that it is reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program that was 

submitted for Danbury Municipal 

Airport under Part 150 in conjunction 

with the noise exposure map, and that 

this program will be approved or 

disapproved on or before March 9, 2007. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the 

FAA’s determination on the noise 

exposure map and of the start of its 

review of the associated noise 

compatibility program is September 6, 

2006. The public comment period ends 

on November 6, 2006. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

C. Silva, Federal Aviation 

Administration, New England Region, 

Airports Division, ANE–600, 12 New 

England Executive Park, Burlington, MA 

01803. 

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 map submitted 

for Danbury Municipal Airport is in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements of Part 150, effective 

September 6, 2006. Further, FAA is 

reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program for that airport 

which will be approved or disapproved 

on or before March 9, 2007. This notice 

also announces the 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 a noise exposure 

map which meets applicable regulations 

and which depicts noncompatible land 

uses as of the date of submission of such 

map, a description of projected aircraft 

operations, and the ways in which such 

operations will affect such map. The Act 

requires such map 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 a noise exposure map that is 

found by FAA to be in compliance with 

the requirements of Federal Aviation 

Regulation (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 introduction of 

additional non-compatible uses. 

The City of Danbury submitted to the 

FAA, on September 6, 2006, a noise 

exposure map, descriptions, and other 

documentation that were produced 

during the Airport Noise Compatibility 

Planning (Part 150) study at Danbury 

Municipal airport from October 2003 to 

July 2006. It was requested that the FAA 

review this material as the noise 

exposure map, 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 City of 

Danbury. The specific maps under 

consideration were: 

Danbury Airport, Part 150 Study—

Noise Exposure Map: 

1. Base Year 2003 Average Daily 

Noise Contours 

2. Future Year 2008 Baseline DNL 

Noise Contours 

The FAA has determined that the 

maps for Danbury Municipal Airport are 

in compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on September 6, 2006. 

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 150. Such determination 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 map 

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 a noise exposure map. 

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 the map, 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 


pwalker on PRODPC60 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 181 / Tuesday, September 19, 2006 / Notices 54867 

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 

Danbury Municipal Airport, also 

effective on September 6, 2006. 

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 March 9, 2007. 

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 map, the FAA’s evaluation of 

the map, and the proposed noise 

compatibility program are available for 

examination at the following locations:
