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 Westover Metropolitan 

Development Corporation submitted to 

the FAA, on September 25, 2014, noise 

exposure maps, descriptions, and other 

documentation produced during the 

noise compatibility planning study 

conducted from 2013 to 2014. The 

Westover Metropolitan Airport noise 

exposure maps were determined by 

FAA to be in compliance with 

applicable requirements on September 

25, 2014. Notice of this determination 

was published in the Federal Register 

on February 6, 2013. 

The Westover Metropolitan Airport 

study contains a proposed noise 

compatibility program comprised of 

actions designed for implementation by 

airport. The Westover Metropolitan 

Development Corporation 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 25, 2014, 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 a 

change to one noise mitigation measure 

in the Noise Compatibility Program. 

This change allows for voluntary 

acquisition of residential properties 

located in the 65DNL noise contour. The 

FAA completed its review and 

determined that the procedural and 

substantive requirements of the Act and 

FAR Part 150 have been satisfied. The 

New England Region Airports Division 

Manager therefore approved the overall 

program on February 6, 2015. 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 

Westover Metropolitan Airport. 

Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts on 

February 6, 2015.

Permanent Closure of Diego Jimenez 

Torres Airport, Fajardo, Puerto Rico 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of permanent closure of 

Diego Jimenez Torres Airport (X95). 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) received written 

notice, dated January 21, 2015, from 

Puerto Rico Ports Authority (PRPA) 

advising that on April 30, 2015, it will 

permanently close Diego Jimenez Torres 

Airport (X95), Fajardo, Puerto Rico; the 

notice was in excess of 30 days before 

the closure in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

46319(a). The FAA hereby publishes 

PRPA’s notice of permanent closure 

Diego Jimenez Torres Airport in 

accordance with 49 U.S.C. 46319(b). 

DATES: The permanent closure of the 

airport is effective as of April 30, 2015.

Atlanta Airports District Office, 1701 

Columbia Ave., Campus Bldg., Suite 2– 

260, College Park, GA 30337, (404) 305– 

7149. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 21, 2015, PRPA, sponsor of 

Diego Jimenez Torres Airport (X95), 

informed the FAA that the Airport will 

close permanently on April 30, 2015. 

(See enclosed letter) X95 is a small 94- 

acre non-towered, general aviation 

airport. The useful life of the federally 

funded improvements expired in 2013. 

FAA recognizes that PRPA is no longer 

contractually obligated to continue 

operating this airport. Title 49 United 

States Code § 46319 requires a public 

agency (as defined in section 47102) 

may not permanently close an airport 

listed in the National Plan of Integrated 

Airport Systems under section 47103 

without providing written notice to the 

Administrator of the FAA at least 30 

days before the date of the closure. The 

FAA recognizes the letter dated January 

21, 2015 from PRPA meets this 

requirement.
