SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Noise 

Analysis is separate and independent 

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 

the opportunity for review 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 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
63830 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 210 / Tuesday, October 31, 2006 / Notices 

runway use programs as ‘‘Formal’’ or 

‘‘Informal.’’ Formal programs are 

defined and acknowledged in a Letter of 

Understanding between the Office of 

Flight Operations, Air Traffic Service, 

the airport proprietor, and the users. 

Once established, participation in a 

formal program is mandatory for aircraft 

operators and pilots as provided for in 

14 CFR 91.129(h). An informal runway 

use program does not require a Letter of 

Understanding, and participation in the 

program is voluntary for aircraft 

operators/pilots. 

In 1995, Broward County submitted 

revised NEMs and a revised NCP for 

FLL. The NCP included a 

recommendation to continue the 

informal runway use program. FAA 

approved continuation of the informal 

runway use program as a voluntary 

measure. About 10 years later, by letter 

dated June 23, 2005, FAA advised 

Broward County that air traffic had 

recently increased to levels that 

periodically exceeded the capacity of 

the noise abatement runway, 9L/27R, 

resulting in delays affecting the national 

airspace system. FAA announced that 

the non-preferred runways would 

experience an increase in use when the 

capacity of the preferred runway was 

exceeded in the future. The June 23, 

2005, letter expressly noted that FAA 

was not proposing to change the 

informal runway use program; however, 

when demand for the preferred runway 

exceeded its capacity, FAA would make 

use of all available runways. Prior to 

June 23, 2005, occasionally Runway 13/ 

31, and more frequently Runway 9L/ 

27R, were made available for use by 

turbojet aircraft in some situations. The 

County specifically agreed to allow use 

of Runway 13/31 when Runway 9L/27R 

was being resurfaced and to allow use 

of both Runway 13/31 and 9R/27L 

between three and four hours per year 

during air-shows. In addition, Runway 

13/31 was used by turbojet aircraft 

during aircraft emergencies, crosswind 

conditions, and severe weather 

conditions. In recent years Runway 9R/ 

27L has been used for turbojet aircraft 

on a limited basis, during peak demand 

hours. 

Runway use at FLL since June 23, 

2005, can generally be described as 

follows: In the early part of the day, air 

carrier and turbojet traffic primarily 

consists of arrivals, with relatively few 

departures. The capacity of the 

preferred runway is typically not 

exceeded during this period. As the day 

progresses, the number of air carrier and 

turbojet arrivals progressively increases 

while air carrier and turbojet departures 

significantly increases and the capacity 

of 9R/27L may be exceeded. It is at this 

point that runway 9R/27L is utilized to 

alleviate departure and/or arrival 

backlog that runway 9L/27R cannot 

accommodate. Occasionally, the 

crosswind runway must be tactically 

used to alleviate departure and/or 

arrival baggage. This permits ATO to 

reduce the departure/arrival backlog 

more quickly and allows the airport to 

return to operating on the parallel 

runways. Typically, in the latter part of 

the day/evening, the air carrier and 

turbojet traffic levels off and the 

preferred runway is eventually able to 

handle the air carrier and turbojet traffic 

demand. As shown in the runway and 

utilization data described in this 

Request for Public Comment, the change 

in use of runway 13/31 following June 

23, 2005, has been minor and did not 

change the noise contour. Setting aside 

the proposed runway development that 

is the subject of the current EIS, FAA 

does not anticipate any major changes 

in future runway utilization unless there 

is a major change at the airport (i.e., 

number of operations, runway 

characteristics, etc.). 

This Noise Analysis discloses the 

noise impacts at FLL during a 12-month 

period from July 2003 to June 2004 and 

a 12-month period from April 2005 to 

March 2006. The Noise Analysis 

includes two maps that identify land 

uses in areas surrounding FLL that 

experience noise levels of 65, 70 and 75 

DNL dB or greater. The noise contours 

are superimposed over the land uses. 

The 2004 and 2005 maps are available 

on FAA’s Web site, as noted below. 

The first map represents the noise 

conditions at FLL for the 12-month 

period from July 2003 through June 

2004 (the 2004 map: See http:// 

www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/ 

airports/regional_guidance/southern/ 

environmental/media/ 

fll_exhib1_2004_baseline.pdf). Between 

July 2003 and June 2004, 304,430 

annual operations occurred at FLL, 

which equates to 834 average-annual 

day operations. The second map 

represents the noise conditions at FLL 

for a 12-month period between April 

2005 and March 2006 (the 2005 map: 

See http://www.faa.gov/ 

airports_airtraffic/airports/ 

regional_guidance/southern/ 

environmental/media/ 

fll_exhib2_2005_baseline.pdf). Between 

April 2005 and March 2006, 320,400 

annual operations occurred at FLL, 

which constitutes 878 average-annual 

day operations. A comparison of the two 

maps reflects how noise impacts 

changed between 2004 and 2005, 

including any effect of increasing use of 

the non-preferred runways during 

periods when demand exceeds the 

capacity of the north parallel runway 

(See http://www.faa.gov/ 

airports_airtraffic/airports/ 

regional_guidance/southern/ 

environmental/media/ 

fll_exhib3_2004_2005_baseline.pdf). 

Each map was generated using FAA’s 

Integrated Noise Model (INM) Version 

6.1. Inputs to the INM include the 

runway length and direction, number of 

aircraft operations (the landing or takeoff of an aircraft is considered one 

‘‘operation’’) during the period 

evaluated, the types of aircraft flown, 

the time of day when they were flown, 

how frequently each runway was used 

for arriving and departing aircraft, the 

routes of flight used to and from the 

runways (flight tracks), and ground 

runup activity. The INM calculates 

noise exposure for the area around the 

airport and outputs contours of equal 

noise exposure. The same flight tracks 

were used in preparing both maps 

because no change in the flight tracks 

occurred during the relevant period. 

Aircraft types and times of operations 

were determined using Official Airline 

Guide (OAG) data, landing fee reports 

for the relevant periods, and the 

Airports Noise and Operations 

Management System (ANOMS) data. 

The ANOMS data was provided by 

Broward County. 

The number of housing units, number 

of people, and area within each noise 

exposure contour for 2004 is illustrated 

below. This data compiled using parcel 

records from the Broward County 

property appraiser’s office and through 

a review of aerial photography.

Approximately 4.9 square miles are

contour. However, 2.2 square miles of 

that area is over either airport property 

or the Atlantic Ocean. 

Comparison of 2004 and 2005 Noise 

Contours: 

Number of Operations and Fleet Mix: 

Annual operations increased by 15,970 

between July 2003 and March 2006, 

which results in an increase of 44 

average-annual day operations. This 

increase occurred in the air carrier and 

commuter/air tai categories, while the 

general aviation category experienced a 

decrease. In addition to the increase in 

operations, there was also a change in 

the fleet mix of the air carrier and 

commute/air taxi categories. The air 

carrier fleet experienced a reduction in 

the older noisier aircraft, such as the 

727–200 (Hushkitted), 737–200 

(Hushkitted) and the MD90 aircraft, and 

an increase in newer quieter aircraft, 

such as Airbus 319, 320 and 321 

aircraft. The commute/air taxi agency 

experienced an increase in regional jets 

and turboprop aircraft. The percentage 

of nighttime operations decreased from 

the 2004 Map to the 2005 Map. The 

percent of nighttime operations for the 

2004 Map was approximately 11 percent 

while the percentage of nighttime 

operations for the 2005 Map decreased 

to approximately 10 percent. 

Runway Utilization: The runway 

utilization at FLL is comparable 

between the period covered by the 2004 

Map and the 2005 Map. The minor 

difference in runway utilization 

percentages is within a normal variance 

for a large airport when comparing data 

from different time periods. The 2005 

map reflects increase use of Runway 9R 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Source: 2005, 2006 Airports Noise and Operations Management System (ANOMS) data, Broward County Aviation Department. 

Flight Tracks: No change in the flight 

tracks occurred between July 2003 and 

March 2006. 

Ground Runup Noise: There was a 

small increase in the number of engine 

runups that is reflected in the 2005 

Map. This change was in proportion to 

the increase or decrease in the overall 

operations of the types of aircraft 

performing the runups. 

Noise Contours: The 2005 noise 

contour is smaller than the 2004 contour 

due to the changes in fleet mix and the 

decrease in the percentage of nighttime 

operations. The shape of the noise 

contours off all runway ends remains 

the same, which is reflective of no 

significant changes in runway end 

utilization or flight tracks. The minor 

change in the utilization of Runway 13/ 

31 did not change the noise contour. 

The two areas where differences in 

the noise contours occur are to the west 

of the airport, off Runway 9L/27R and 

to the northwest of the airport, off 

Runway 13/31 (See 

http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/

airports/regional_guidance/southern/ 

environmental/media/fll_exhibx

_housing_diff_2004_2005.pdf). For the 

area west of the airport, off Runway 9L/ 

27R, a total of nine (9) mobile homes are 

no longer in the 2005 65 DNL noise 

contour when compared to the 2004 65 

DNL dB noise contour. For the area 

northwest of the airport, off Runway 13/ 

31, a total of thirty-seven (37) homes 

(consisting of twenty-seven (27) mobile 

homes, two (2) multi-family homes with 

a total of nine (9) units, and eight (8) 

single-family homes) are no longer in 

the 2005 65 DNL dB noise contour when 

compared to the 2004 65 DNL dB noise 

contour.
