Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Compatibility Program Notice; 

Laredo International Airport, Laredo, 

TX 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces that it 

is reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program that was 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 45 / Thursday, March 8, 2007 / Notices 10583 

submitted for Laredo International 

Airport under the provisions of 49 

U.S.C. 47501 et seq. (the Aviation Safety 

and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 CFR 

part 150 by the city of Laredo, Texas. 

This program was submitted subsequent 

to a determination by FAA that 

associated noise exposure maps 

submitted under 14 CFR Part 150 for 

Laredo International Airport were in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements, effective September 22, 

2005, and announced in the Federal 

Register/Vol. 70, Nos. 189/Friday, 

September 30, 2005. The proposed noise 

compatibility program will be approved 

or disapproved on or before August 27, 

2007. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date 

of the start of FAA’s review of the noise 

compatibility program is February 28, 

2007. The public comment period ends 

April 29, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul 

Blackford, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Airports Division, 2601 

Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, Texas 

76137–0650, telephone (817) 222–5607. 

Comments on the proposed noise 

compatibility program should also be 

submitted to the above office. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA is 

reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program for Laredo 

International Airport, which will be 

approved or disapproved on or before 

August 27, 2007. This notice also 

announces the availability of this 

program for public review and 

comment. 

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 the Act, may 

submit a noise compatibility program 

for FAA approval which sets forth the 

measures the operator has taken or 

proposes to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The FAA has formally received the 

noise compatibility program for Laredo 

International Airport, effective on 

February 28, 2007. The airport operator 

has requested that the FAA review this 

material 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 

47504 of the Act. Preliminary review of 

the submitted material indicates that it 

conforms to FAR Part 150 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 August 27, 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 or create an undue 

burden on interstate or foreign 

commerce, and whether they are 

reasonably consistent with obtaining the 

goal of reducing existing noncompatible land uses and preventing the 

introduction of additional noncompatible land uses. 

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on the proposed program with 

specific reference to these factors. All 

comments relating to these factors, 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 maps and 

the proposed noise compatibility 

program are available for examination at 

the following locations: 

Federal Aviation Administration, 

2601 Meacham Boulevard, Fort Worth, 

Texas; Laredo International Airport, 

5210 Bob Bullock Loop, Laredo, Texas, 

78041. Questions may be directed to the 

individual named above under the 

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
