SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Noise

from the Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) process initiated by the 

FAA for a proposed runway project on 

January 19, 2005. 70 FR 3095 (January 

19, 2005). The 2004 Map was previously 

provided for public review during the 

scoping process for the above EIS. The 

2005 Map derives from noise analysis 

conducted for the above EIS. 

The purpose of this Noise is to notify 

Federal, State, local government 

agencies, and the public about the 

availability of the Noise Analysis and

comment. The FAA is also announcing 

the availability of the Noise Analysis in 

major local newspapers in the vicinity 

of FLL. 

Background 

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood 

International Airport (FLL) is owned 

and operated by, and lies within, 

Broward County, Florida. The cities of 

Dania Beach, Hollywood, Davie, and 

Fort Lauderdale and adjacent, or in 

close proximity, to the airport. The 

airport is bordered by Interstate 595 to 

the north, Griffin Road to the south, U.S. 

Route 1 to the east and Interstate 95 to 

the west. 

In 1989, FAA accepted Noise 

Exposure Maps (NEMs) submitted by 

Broward County for FLL. FAA also 

received and approved a Noise 

Compatibility Program (NCP) for FLL 

pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq., as 

implemented by 14 CFR part 150 (part 

150). The FAA reviews airport noise 

compatibility programs for consistency 

with statutory and regulatory criteria. 65 

FR 43802, 43809 (July 14, 2000). To 

qualify for approval, program measures, 

among other things, (1) Must be 

reasonably consistent with the goals of 

reducing existing noncompatible land 

uses around the airport and of 

preventing the introduction of 

additional noncompatible land uses; (2) 

must not derogate safety or adversely 

affect the safe and efficient use of 

airspace; (3) must not impose an undue 

burden on interstate or foreign 

commerce; (4) must not be unjustly 

discriminatory or violate other airport 

grant agreement assurances; and (5) 

must be consistent with the powers and 

responsibilities of the FAA 

Administrator. The FAA must approve 

NCPs that meet the specified criteria. 

FLL’s approved 1989 NCP included an 

informal runway use program. Under 

this runway use program the 

northernmost parallel runway at FLL, 

Runway 9L/27R, was designated as the 

‘‘preferred runway’’ for turbojet 

departures and arrivals. FLL has three 

runways, two parallel east-west 

runways and a crosswind runway 

(generally running from the northwest 

to the southeast). The northernmost 

parallel runway is as noted above; the 

southernmost parallel runway is 9R/ 

27L; the crosswind runway is 13/31. 

Pursuant to FAA Order 8400.9, 

National Safety and Operational Criteria 

for Runway Use Programs, and FAA 

order 7110.65M, ‘‘Air Traffic Control’’, 

Pilot/Controller Glossary, a runway use 

program is a runway selection plan 

designed to enhance noise abatement 

efforts. The Air Traffic Service (now 

‘‘Air Traffic Operations’’) administers
