AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces that it 

is reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program that was 

submitted for Laughlin/Bullhead 

International Airport under the 

provisions of Title 49 United States 

Code, Section 47501 et seq. (the 

Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

Act, hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) 

and 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR) Part 150 by the Mohave County 

Airport Authority. This program was 

submitted subsequent to a 

determination by FAA that associated 

noise exposure maps submitted under 

14 CFR part 150 for Laughlin/Bullhead 

International Airport were in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements, effective November 21, 

2013 (Federal Register Volume 78, No. 

230, 11–29–2013). The proposed noise 

compatibility program will be approved 

or disapproved on or before January 18, 

2016. 

DATES: Effective Date: This notice is 

effective August 4, 2015 and is 

applicable beginning July 23, 2015. The 

public comment period ends September 

21, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jared M. Raymond, Airport Planner, 

Phoenix Airports District Office, 

Phoenix, Arizona, (602) 792–1072. 

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 Laughlin/

Bullhead International Airport which 

will be approved or disapproved on or 

before January 18, 2016. 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 

Laughlin/Bullhead International 

Airport, effective on July 23, 2015. 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 January 18, 

2016. 

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 during normal 

business hours:

Western Pacific Region, Airports
