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 as 

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 a 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 under the Airport and Airway 

Improvement Act of 1982. Where 

Federal funding is sought, requests for 

project grants must be submitted to the 

FAA Regional Office in Burlington, 

Massachusetts. 

The Danbury Municipal Airport, 

Danbury, CT submitted to the FAA, on 

June 30, 2006 (revised September 6, 

2006), noise exposure maps, 

descriptions, and other documentation 

produced during the noise compatibility 

planning study conducted from 2002 

through 2006. The Danbury Municipal 

Airport, Danbury, CT noise exposure 

maps were determined by FAA to be in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements on September 9, 2006. 

Notice of this determination was 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 19, 2006. 

The Danbury Municipal Airport, 

Danbury, CT study contains a proposed 

noise compatibility program comprised 

of actions designed for implementation 

by airport management and adjacent 

jurisdictions from the date of study 

completion to beyond the year 2007. 

The Danbury Municipal Airport, 

Danbury, CT requested that the FAA 

evaluate and approve this material as a 

noise compatibility program as 

described in Section 104(b) of the Act. 

The FAA began its review of the 

program on September 6, 2006, and was 

required by a provision of the Act to 

approve or disapprove the program 

within 180 days (other than the use of 

new flight procedures for noise control). 

Failure to approve or disapprove such a 

program within the 180-day period shall 

be deemed to be an approval of such a 

program. 

The submitted program contained 3 

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 Airports 

Division Manager therefore approved 

the overall program effective February 

15, 2007. 

Of the 3 proposed program elements, 

all were approved. All 3 program 

elements were administrative in nature. 

They included a Pilot Education 

Program, Community Outreach Efforts, 

and Future Updates of Noise Exposure 

Maps. Various noise abatement and land 

use measures from the 1987 NCP were 

restated in the Record of Approval, so 

that all measures now in effect would be 

documented in the most recent Record 

of Approval. 

FAA’s determination are set forth in 

detail in a Record of Approval endorsed 

by the Airport’s Division Manager on 

February 15, 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 

Danbury Municipal Airport, Danbury, 

CT. 

Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts, on 

February 15, 2007.
