5666 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 25 / Thursday, February 6, 1997 / Notices

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

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

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 uses,

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

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 Memphis, Tennessee.

The Metropolitan Knoxville Airport

Authority submitted to the FAA on July

5, 1995, the noise exposure maps,

descriptions, and other documentation

produced during the FAR Part 150

supplemental noise compatibility

planning study conducted from October

1994 through June 1995. The McGhee

Tyson Airport noise exposure maps

were determined by FAA to be in

compliance with applicable

requirements on October 12, 1995.

Notice of this determination was

published in the Federal Register on

October 26, 1995.

The McGhee Tyson Airport 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

beyond the year 2000. It was requested

that the FAA evaluate and approved 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 July 22, 1996, and was

required by 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 an approval of such a

program.

The submitted program contained two

noise abatement measures, 13 land use

measures and an amendment to a

previously approved land use measure;

and three program management actions.

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

January 17, 1997.

Approval for Part 150 was granted, in

total or in part, for both of the proposed

operational (noise abatement) measures.

The operational procedures will require

an environmental decision before

implementation by FAA. Approval was

granted for all the land use and

implementation actions. Land Use

measures include establishing an airport

influence area; airport noise overlay

zoning for land use compatibility;

amend subdivision regulations to

require dedication of aviation

easements; local building code

amendments for sound insulation;

promote fair disclosure; acquisition of

homes within the 65 DNL; acquisition of

underdeveloped residential-zoned land

within the 65 DNL contour; sound

insulation; and aviation easements. An

amendment to a previously approved

measure for purchase assurance or

sound insulation extended this

mitigation to the remaining homes in

the neighborhood. These determinations

are set forth in detail in a Record of

Approval endorsed by the

Administrator on January 17, 1997. 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

Metropolitan Knoxville Airport

Authority.
