40356 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 24, 2007 / Notices 

conducted from March 4, 2004 through 

January 12, 2007. The Flagstaff Pulliam 

Airport Noise Exposure Maps were 

determined by FAA to be in compliance 

with applicable requirements on April 

7, 2005. Notice of this determination 

was published in the Federal Register 

on April 20, 2005. 

The Flagstaff Pulliam Airport study 

contains a proposed noise compatibility 

program comprised of actions designed 

for phased implementation by airport 

management and adjacent jurisdictions 

from May 7, 2007 to beyond the year 

2012. It was requested that the FAA 

evaluate and approve this material as a 

Noise Compatibility Program as 

described in 49 U.S.C. 47504 (formerly 

Section 104(b) of the Act). The FAA 

began its review of the program on 

January 12, 2007, and was required by 

a provision of the Act to approve or 

disapprove the program within 180 days 

(other than the use of new or modified 

flight procedures for noise control). 

Failure to approve or disapprove such 

program within the 180-day period shall 

be deemed to be an approval of such 

program. 

The submitted program contained 15 

proposed actions for noise abatement, 

noise mitigation, and land use planning 

and program management on and off the 

airport. The FAA completed its review 

and determined that the procedural and 

substantive requirements of the Act and 

FAR Part 150 have been satisfied. The 

overall program was approved by the 

Manager of the Airports Division, 

Western-Pacific Region, effective June 

25, 2007. 

Outright approval was granted for ten 

(10) specific program measures. The 

four (4) approved Noise Abatement 

Element measures included such items 

as: Runway 21 Departure Procedure for 

piston aircraft weighing less than 12,500 

pounds; discontinue intersection and 

midfield takeoffs; Promote use of 

Industry Standard Thrust Cut-Back 

Procedures; Promote use of aircraft 

Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) 

Noise Awareness Steps by light single 

and twin-engine aircraft; 

The three (3) approved Land Use 

Planning Elements include such items 

as: The city of Flagstaff should consider 

revising their current project review 

guidelines to incorporate noise-related 

criteria. it would also be suitable to 

include these guidelines within the 

Flagstaff Regional Area Land Use and 

Transportation Plan; the city of Flagstaff 

and Coconino County should consider 

revising its existing Airport Overlay 

District to reflect the results of the noise 

analysis conducted as part of this Part 

150 Study. Additionally, Coconino 

County should consider enacting an 

Airport overlay district for areas 

contained within the AIA; the City of 

Flagstaff and Coconino County should 

consider amending their respective 

building codes to incorporate 

prescriptive noise standards; 

The three (3) approved Program 

Management Element measures 

included such items as: Publish a pilot 

guide; Monitor Implementation of the 

Part 150 Noise compatibility Program; 

Update Noise Exposure Maps and Noise 

Compatibility Program. 

FAA partially approved portions of 

the following four (4) Land Use 

Planning Measures: Consideration 

should be given to re-designated 

undeveloped parcels within the hybrid 

60 DNL noise contour to a compatible 

land use designation such as 

commercial, industrial, or designated 

open space as detailed in the Flagstaff 

Area Regional Land Use and 

Transportation Plan. That portion of the 

‘‘hybrid’’ contour that depicts noise 

from a 1991 airport master plan is 

disapproved for purposes of part 150; 

Consideration should be given to 

incorporating hybrid 60 and 65 DNL 

noise contours into the general plan in 

lieu of the currently referenced noise 

contours prepared in the Flagstaff Area 

Regional Land Use and Transportation 

Plan; The City of Flagstaff and Coconino 

County maintain compatibility—zoned 

areas within the 60 DNL noise contour; 

That portion of the ‘‘hybrid’’ contour 

that depicts noise from a 1991 airport 

master plan is disapproved for purposes 

of part 150; The City of Flagstaff and 

Coconino County should rezone 

undeveloped parcels within the hybrid 

60 DNL noise contour to a compatible 

zoning designation; That portion of the 

‘‘hybrid’’ contour that depicts noise 

from a 1991 airport master plan is 

disapproved for purposes of part 150; 

The FAA disapproved one (1) Noise 

Abatement measure: Change Phoenix 

Sectional Chart to depict the location of 

Walnut Canyon National Monument. 

These determinations are set forth in 

detail in the Record of Approval signed 

by the Manager of the Airports Division, 

Western-Pacific Region, on June 25, 

2007. The Record of Approval, as well 

as other evaluation materials and the 

documents comprising the submittal, 

are available for review at the FAA 

office listed above and at the 

administrative offices of the Flagstaff 

Pulliam Airport. The Record of 

Approval also will be available on-line
