Federal Aviation Administration


Approval of Noise Compatibility Program; Ft. Lauderdale Executive 
Airport, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its 
findings on the noise compatibility program submitted by the City of 
Ft. Lauderdale under the provisions of Title I of the Aviation Safety 
and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96-193) 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 
March 28, 1997, the FAA determined that the noise exposure maps 
submitted by the City of Ft. Lauderdale under Part 150 were in 
compliance with applicable requirements. On September 23, 1997, the 
Administrator approved the Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport noise 
compatibility program. Most of the program measures were fully 
approved. One (1) measure was partially approved and one (1) measure 
was disapproved.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the FAA's approval of the Ft. 
Lauderdale Executive Airport noise compatibility program is September 
23, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Tommy J. Pickering, P.E., Federal Aviation Administration, Orlando 
Airports District Office, 5950 Hazeltine National Drive, Suite 400, 
Orlando, FL 32822, (407) 812-6331, Extension 29. Documents reflecting 
this FAA action may be reviewed at this same location.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA has given 
its overall approval to the noise compatibility program for Ft. 
Lauderdale Executive Airport, effective September 23, 1997.
    Under Section 104(a) of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act 
of 1979 (hereinafter referred to as ``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 
noncompatible land uses and prevention of additional noncompatible 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 Federal Aviation Regulations (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 measure 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 part 150 and the Act, and is limited to the following 
determinations:
    a. The noise compatibility program was developed in accordance with 
the provisions and procedures of FAR part 150;
    b. Program measures are reasonably consistent with achieving the 
goals of reducing existing noncompatible land uses around the airport 
and preventing the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses;
    c. Program measures would not create an undue burden on interstate 
or foreign commerce, unjustly discriminate against types or classes of 
aeronautical users, violate the terms of airport grant agreements, or 
intrude into areas preempted by the Federal government; and
    d. Program measures relating to the use of flight procedures can be

[[Page 59019]]

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 Airports District Office in Orlando, FL.
    The City of Ft. Lauderdale submitted to the FAA on March 5, 1997, 
updated noise exposure maps, descriptions, and other documentation 
produced during the noise compatibility planning study conducted from 
January 3, 1994 through March 5, 1997. The Ft. Lauderdale Executive 
Airport noise exposure maps were determined by FAA to be in compliance 
with applicable requirements on March 28, 1997. Notice of this 
determination was published in the Federal Register.
    The Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport study contains a proposed 
noise compatibility program comprised of actions designed for phased 
implementation by airport management and adjacent jurisdictions from 
the date of study completion to the year 2002. It was requested that 
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 March 28, 1997, 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 program within the 180-day period shall be deemed to 
be an approval of such program.
    The submitted program contained twenty-three (23) 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 Administrator effective September 23, 
1997.
    Out right approval was granted for twenty-one (21) of the twenty-
three (23) specific program measures. One (1) measure was disapproved 
and one (1) measure was partially approved. The approval action was for 
the following program controls:
