DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice; Receipt of 

Noise Compatibility Program and 

Request for Review for Harrisburg 

International Airport, Middletown, PA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by the Susquehanna 

Area Regional Airport Authority for the 

Harrisburg International Airport 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 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements. The FAA also announces 

that it is reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program that was 

submitted for the Harrisburg 

International Airport under part 150 in 

conjunction with the noise exposure 

map, and that this program will be 

approved or disapproved on or before 

July 12, 2006. 

DATES: The effective date of the FAA’s 

determination on the noise exposure 

maps and of the start of its review of the 

associated noise compatibility program 

is January 13, 2006. The public 

comment period ends March 14, 2006. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Edward S. Gabsewics, CEP, 

Environmental Specialist, Federal 

Aviation Administration, Harrisburg 

Airports District Office, 3905 Hartzdale 

Drive, Suite 508, Camp Hill, PA 17011, 

Telephone 717–730–2832. 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 maps submitted 

for the Harrisburg International Airport 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements of part 150, effective 

January 13, 2006. Further, FAA is 

reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program for that airport 

which will be approved or disapproved 

on or before July 12, 2006. This notice 

also announces the availability of this 

proposed noise compatibility 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, 

governmental 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 Susquehanna Area Regional 

Authority submitted to the FAA on 

December 16, 2005 noise exposure 

maps, descriptions and other 

documentation which were produced 

during the development of the Final 

Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study 

dated May 2005 and the Addendum 1 

to that study dated December 2005. 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 

Susquehanna Area Regional Airport 

Authority. The specific maps under 

consideration are the Existing (2004) 

Noise Exposure Map (NEM) for the 

existing conditions and the Future 

(2010) NEM with Noise Compatibility 

Program (NCP) Implementation. The 

FAA has determined that these maps for 

the Harrisburg International Airport are 

in compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on January 13, 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 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 

Harrisburg International Airport, also 

effective January 13, 2006. Preliminary 

review of the submitted material 

indicates that it conforms to the 

requirements for the submittal or 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 July 12, 2006. 

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
