Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 22, 2007 / Notices 47119 

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 compatibilty 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 AustinBergstrom International Airport, 

effective on August 14, 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 e 

completed on or before February 10, 

2008. 

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:
