(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,

**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 theintroduction 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 thegoal of reducing existing noncompatible land uses and preventing theintroduction 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:
