Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice; 

Alexandria International Airport, 

Alexandria, LA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

findings on the noise compatibility 

program submitted by England 

Economic and Industrial Developmental 

District under the provisions of 49 

U.S.C. (the Aviation Safety and Noise 

Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to 

as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 CFR part 150. 

These findings are made in recognition 

of the description of Federal and 

nonfederal responsibilities in Senate 

Report No. 96–52 (1980). On January 26, 

2006, the FAA determined that the 

noise exposure maps submitted by 

England Economic and Industrial 

Development District under part 150 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
50156 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 168 / Thursday, August 30, 2007 / Notices 

were in compliance with applicable 

requirements. On August 14, 2007, the 

FAA approved the Alexandria 

International Airport noise 

compatibility program. All eight of the 

recommendations of the program were 

approved in full. The England Economic 

and Industrial Development District has 

also requested under FAR Part 150, 

section 150.35(f), that FAA determine 

that the revised noise exposure map for 

the year 2010 submitted with the noise 

compatibility program and showing 

future noise contours as a result of the 

implementation of the noise 

compatibility program is in compliance 

with applicable requirements of Federal 

Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150. 

The FAA announces its determination 

that the revised future noise exposure 

map for Alexandria International 

Airport, submitted with the noise 

compatibility program, is in compliance 

with applicable requirements of FAR 

Part 150 effective August 22, 2007. The 

documentation that constitutes the 

‘‘noise exposure map’’ as defined in 

section 150.7 of Part 150 includes:

requirements. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date 

of the FAA’s approval of the Alexandria 

International Airport noise 

compatibility program is August 14, 

2007. The effective date of the FAA’s 

determination on the revised noise 

exposure maps is August 22, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Tim Tandy, Federal Aviation 

Administration, ASW–640, Fort Worth, 

TX 76193–0640 at (817) 222–5644. 

Documents reflecting this FAA action 

may be reviewed at this same location. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This noise 

announces that the FAA has given its 

overall approval to the noise 

compatibility program for Alexandria 

International Airport, effective August 

14, 2007, and that the revised noise 

exposure map for the year 2010 for this 

same airport is determined to be in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements of FAR Part 150. 

A. Under section 47504 of the Act, an 

airport operator who has previously 

submitted a noise exposure map may 

submit to the FAA a noise compatibility 

program which sets forth the measures 

taken or proposed by the airport 

operator for the reduction of existing 

non-compatible land uses and 

prevention of additional non-compatible 

land uses within the area covered by the 

noise exposure maps. The Act requires 

such programs to be developed in 

consultation with interested and 

affected parties including local 

communities, government agencies, 

airport users, and FAA personnel. 

Each airport noise compatibility 

program developed in accordance with 

FAR Part 150 is a local program, not a 

Federal program. The FAA does not 

substitute its judgment for that of the 

airport proprietor with respect to which 

measures should be recommended for 

action. The FAA’s approval or 

disapproval of FAR Part 150 program 

recommendations is measured 

according to the standards expressed in 

FAR Part 150 and the Act and is limited 

to the following determinations: 

1. The noise compatibility program 

was developed in accordance with the 

provisions and procedures of FAR Part 

150; 

2. Program measures are reasonably 

consistent with achieving the goals of 

reducing existing non-compatible land 

uses around the airport and preventing 

the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses; 

3. Program measures would not create 

an undue burden on interstate or foreign 

commerce, unjustly discriminate against 

types or classes of aeronautical uses, 

violate the terms of airport grant 

agreements, or intrude into areas 

preempted by the Federal Government; 

and 

4. Program measures relating to the 

use of flight procedures can be 

implemented within the period covered 

by the program without derogating 

safety, adversely affecting the efficient 

use and management of the navigable 

airspace and air traffic control systems, 

or adversely affecting other powers and 

responsibilities of the Administrator 

prescribed by law. 

Specific limitations with respect to 

FAA’s approval of an airport noise 

compatibility program are delineated in 

FAR Part 150, section 150.5. Approval 

is not a determination concerning the 

acceptability of land uses under Federal, 

state, or local law. Approval does not by 

itself constitute an FAA implementing 

action. A request for Federal action or 

approval to implement specific noise 

compatibility measures may be 

required, and an FAA decision on the 

request may require an environmental 

assessment of the proposed action. 

Approval does not constitute a 

commitment by the FAA to financially 

assist in the implementation of the 

program nor a determination that all 

measures covered by the program are 

eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the 

FAA. Where Federal funding is sought, 

requests for project grants must be 

submitted to the FAA regional office in 

Fort Worth, Texas. 

England Economic and Industrial 

Development District submitted to the 

FAA on January 31, 2007, the noise 

exposure maps, descriptions, and other 

documentation produced during the 

noise compatibility planning study 

conducted from 2001 through 2007. The 

Alexandria International Airport noise 

exposure maps were determined by 

FAA to be in compliance with 

applicable requirements on January 26, 

2006. Notice of this determination was 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 13, 2007. 

The Alexandria International Airport 

study contains a proposed noise 

compatibility program comprised of 

actions designed for phased 

implementation by airport management 

and adjacent jurisdictions from 2008 to 

the year 2015. It was requested that the 

FAA evaluate and approve this material 

as a noise compatibility program as 

described in section 47504 of the Act. 

The FAA began its review of the 

program on April 9, 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 

eight proposed actions for noise 

mitigation 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, therefore, was 

approved by the FAA effective August 

14, 2007. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 168 / Thursday, August 30, 2007 / Notices 50157 

Outright approval was granted for all 

eight of the specific program elements, 

which are summarized as follows: 

Program Recommendation (1), whereby 

military aircraft departing from Runway 

14 would voluntarily use departure 

track RAD14X, instead of RAD14; 

Program Recommendation (2), whereby 

military aircraft arriving to Runway 32 

would voluntarily use arrival track 

A32B, instead of VOR32; Program 

Recommendation (3), involving the 

opportunity within the Primary Area for 

fee simple acquisition and relocation 

assistance regarding eligible properties 

(eligible vacant residential properties 

are limited to those considered infill 

among established residential areas); 

Program Recommendation (4), involving 

the opportunity within the Primary Area 

for avigation easement acquisition 

regarding eligible properties whose 

owners decline to participate in the fee 

simple acquisition program; Program 

Recommendation (5), involving the 

opportunity within the Primary Area for 

acoustical treatment of eligible 

properties whose owners decline to 

participate in the fee simple acquisition 

and relocation program or the avigation 

easement acquisition program 

(acquisition of an avigation easement or 

similar interest is recommended by FAA 

as a condition of participation in this 

measure); Program Recommendation (6), 

involving the airport sponsor’s 

management of acquired property and 

preparation of a redevelopment plan; 

Program Recommendation (7), involving 

the opportunity within the Secondary 

Area for acquisition of avigation 

easements for all eligible residential, 

infill vacant residential properties, and 

one church; and Program 

Recommendation (8), involving the 

opportunity within the Secondary Area 

for acoustical treatment of all singlefamily residential properties and one 

church. 

These determinations are set forth in 

detail in a Record of Approval signed by 

the FAA Southwest Region, Airports 

Division Manager on August 14, 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 England 

Economic and Industrial Development 

District. The Record of Approval also 

will be available on-line at http:// 

www.faa.gov/arp/environmental/ 

14cfr150/index14.cfm. 

The FAA also has completed its 

review of the revised noise exposure 

maps and related descriptions 

submitted by England Economic and 

Industrial Development District. The 

specific map under consideration is 

Figure 7.9 in the submission. The FAA 

has determined that this map for 

Alexandria International Airport is in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on August 22, 2007. FAA’s 

determination on an airport operator’s 

noise exposure maps is limited to a 

finding that the maps were developed in 

accordance with the procedures 

contained in appendix A of FAR Part 

150. Such determination does not 

constitute approval of the applicant’s 

data, information or plans. 

If questions arise concerning the 

precise relationship of specific 

properties to noise exposure contours 

depicted on a noise exposure map 

submitted under section 47503 of the 

Act, it should be noted that the FAA is 

not involved in any way in determining 

the relative locations of specific 

properties with regard to the depicted 

noise contours, or in interpreting the 

noise exposure maps to resolve 

questions concerning, for example, 

which properties should be covered by 

the provisions of section 47506 of the 

Act. These functions are inseparable 

from the ultimate land use control and 

planning responsibilities of local 

government. These local responsibilities 

are not changed in any way under FAR 

Part 150 or through FAA’s review of 

noise exposure maps. Therefore, the 

responsibility for the detailed 

overlaying of noise exposure contours 

onto the map depicting properties on 

the surface rests exclusively with the 

airport operator that submitted those 

maps, or with those public agencies and 

planning agencies with which 

consultation is required under section 

47503 of the Act. The FAA has relied on 

the certification by the airport operator, 

under section 150.21 of FAR Part 150, 

that the statutorily required consultation 

has been accomplished. 

Copies of the noise exposure maps 

and of the FAA’s evaluation of the 

maps, and copies of the record of 

approval and other evaluation materials 

and documents which comprised the 

submittal to the FAA are available for 

examination at the following locations: 

Federal Aviation Administration, 

2601 Meacham Boulevard, Fort Worth, 

Texas; England Economic and Industrial 

Development District, 1611 Arnold
