Federal Aviation Administration

Approval of Noise Compatibility

Program: Naples Municipal Airport,

Naples, 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 Naples

under the provisions of Title I of the

Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement

Act of 1979 (Public Law 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

April 2, 1997, the FAA determined that

the noise exposure maps submitted by

the City of Naples under Part 150 were

in compliance with applicable

requirements. On September 29, 1997,

the Administrator approved the Naples

Municipal Airport noise compatibility

program. Most of the program measures

were fully approved. Four (4) measures

was partially approved and one (1)

measure was disapproved.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the

FAA’s approval of the Naples Municipal

Airport noise compatibility program is

September 29, 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,

Florida 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 Naples

Municipal Airport, effective September

29, 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

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, Florida.

The City of Naples submitted to the

FAA on March 24, 1997, updated noise

exposure maps, descriptions, and other

documentation produced during the

noise compatibility planning study

conducted from April 3, 1995 through

March 21, 1997. The Naples Municipal

Airport noise exposure maps were

determined by FAA to be in compliance

with applicable requirements on April

2, 1997. Notice of this determination

was published in the Federal Register.

The Naples Municipal 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
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 222 / Tuesday, November 18, 1997 / Notices 61575

described in Section 104(b) of the Act.

The FAA began its review of the

program on April 2, 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

fifteen (15) proposal 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 29, 1997.

Outright approval was granted for ten

(10) of the fifteen (15) specific program

measures. Four (4) measures were

partially approved and one (1) measure

was disapproved. The approval action

was for the following program controls:

Noise abatement measure Description NCP pages

OPERATIONAL MEASURES

7.2.1 Preferential Runway ...... It is recommended that the existing preferential runway measure to maximize

the use of Runway 4 for departures and Runway 22 for arrivals for aircraft

with departure noise levels exceeding 76.4 EPNdB to continued in order to

take advantage of the low sensitivity to noise of the commercial/industrial

development located northeast of the airport. Implementation is based on

pilot education and preferential runway assignment by the air traffic controllers when the tower is open. FAA Action: Approved.

Pages 3–3 to 3–8 and 7–1;

Tables 3–1 to 3–3, 3–16, 7–

1 and 7–2; and Figures 3–1

and 3–2.

7.2.2 Flight Procedures .......... This measure recommends elimination of the existing restriction to initial

climb altitudes on departure from Naples Municipal Airport (APF) to 2,000′

above sea level (ASL). FAA Action: Disapproved. This measure will not

have a significant noise reduction. In addition, it could interfere with air traffic safety and efficiency because the altitude limit is initially necessary to

ensure separation from other traffic in the area and is removed by the controller when the aircraft is radar identified and separation is assured.

Pages 3–12, 3–13, and 7–3;

Figure 3–4; and Tables 3–6,

3–16 and 7–2.

7.2.3 Flight Paths ..................... Revised Visual Flight Rules (VFR) noise abatement departure flight paths

have been proposed for each runway at the airport to reduce noise by

moving traffic away from developed areas.

Runway 4—early left turn. Aircraft would fly just to the east of Airport-Pulling

Road and would avoid the residential communities in the area.

Pages 3–16 to 3–31, 7–3 and

7–4; Tables 3–8 to 3–11, 3–

16 and 7–2; and Figures 3–

5 to 315.

Runway 22—right turn. Aircraft would move away from the majority of the

residential dwellings which are located southwest of the airport.

Runway 13—early left turn. This track turns aircraft just north of Davis Boulevard, away from the residential development south of Davis.

Runway 31—the existing departure, with a right turn, would impact the least

number of people due to the fact that the aircraft do not overfly the coastline with its density packed residential units.

The FAA must also develop procedures which allow the pilots to fly these

preferred flight paths. This is typically accomplished through SIDs or

STARs, which are departure or arrival paths defined by radio navigation

aids. Current systems such as the VOR, located on and off the airport, already provide this capability, but newer technology has even greater promise. Two newer systems, the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Transponder Landin System (TLS) could be used to define complex curved approach or departure paths which could be used to keep aircraft away from

densely populated residential areas. The NAA has applied for state grants

to install the TLS system by the end of the fiscal year 1997. FAA Action:

Approved in part as a voluntary measure. The recommended noise abatement departure flight paths are approved as voluntary. The measure is disapproved in part, for purposes of Part 150, for that portion of the proposal

which recommends use of the GPS and TLS to define complex curved approach and departure paths, pending submission of additional information

describing the noise benefits of these techniques when technology becomes available.

7.2.4 Helicopters .................... It is recommended that the existing noise abatement measures for helicopters be continued including modification of take-off areas to implement

common centralized departure areas and education of helicopter pilots.

Helicopter pilots have agreed to depart from midfield, rather than runway

ends, in order to obtain as much altitude as possible before departing the

airport and helicopters will follow the fixed wing routes on the crosswind

runway. The Naples Airport Authority (NAA) will maintain contact with pilot

operators to modify these procedures, if necessary, and work out additional

issues as they arise. FAA Action: Approved as a voluntary measure.

Noise abatement measure Description NCP pages

7.2.5 Use Restrictions ............ This following measures were adopted by ordinance effective May 15, 1996,

and are proposed for FAA approval in this Part 150 document. The measures include: a. nighttime elimination of Stage 1 aircraft use of the airport;

b. voluntary curfew of Stage 2 and 3 jets during nighttime hours; c. future

nighttime elimination of Stage 2 aircraft after the beginning of the year

2000, which is the target for the federal phase-out of Stage 2 aircraft

weighing greater than 75,000 pounds. These restrictions would not apply to

emergency flights, medical or government flights, or other flights which are

for the benefit of public health, safety, and welfare. A Part 161 study may

be appropriate or required. FAA Action: a. Approved, with respect to the

Stage 1 ban. The airport operator has submitted supplemental information

by letter dated July 31, 1997, which has been made part of this ROA, to

support that Stage 1 operators have been successfully able to comply with

this measure. The NCP states that this measure would reduce the population impacted within the DNL 65dB noise contour from 158 to 0 for the 5-

year time frame. This measure has been in effect since May 1996 with no

apparent concern by affected operators regarding undue burden on interstate or foreign commerce (see supplemental information submitted by airport operator). However, should impacts on air commerce occur which cannot be foreseen at the time of this approval, the FAA will reevaluate this

determination in view of new factual information to ascertain whether it still

meets the standards for Part 150 approcal or whether approval should be

withdrawn in accordance with section 105.35(d)(6). b. Disapproved for purposes of Part 150 pending submission of sufficient information to make an

informed analysis with respect to the voluntary curfew of Stage 2 and

Stage 3 jets during nighttime hours. Although noise benefits of the voluntary curfew may be ‘‘intuitive’’, the NCP does not provide noise benefits

for this measure. Truly voluntary operational measures affecting Stage 2

and Stage 3 aircraft are not subject to 14 CFR Part 161. However, any

changes to the method of implementation which may affect whether this

measure is voluntary would be subject to applicable procedures contained

in 14 CFR Part 161. c. Disapproved with regard to the mandatory Stage 2

phaseout to begin the year 2000, pending satisfactory compliance with 14

CFR Part 161, and pending submittal of additional information to make an

informed analysis. The Federal phaseout applies to aircraft weighing greater than 75,000 pounds. The NCP states that ‘‘Significantly less than 1 percent of all corporate jet operations at APF are in aircraft with maximum

gross takeoff weights over 75,000 pounds.’’ Part 161 requires separate

analysis of restrictions on Stage 2 aircraft weighing less than 75,000

pounds; in addition, the burden on commerce has not been presented nor

are the noise impacts versus the benefits of this measure presented.

and 7–4; and Figures 3–16

and 3–17); supplemental information submitted from

NAA by letter dated July 31,

1997.

7.2.6 Ground Noise ................ It is recommended that the existing ban on nighttime (between 10:00 p.m.

and 7:00 a.m.) maintenance runups, effective May 15, 1996, and the designated locations and orientations recommended for maintenance and preflight runups for turboprop aircraft be continued. Operators may request

permission from airport management to conduct a maintenance runup during the restricted hours under exceptional circumstances. For example, an

operator may require the aircraft for an early morning departure, which

would have to incur a substantial delay if the runup could not be conducted

until after 7:00 a.m. For such approval, management may set limits on exactly when and where the runup would be conducted, and limit duration of

the runup and the power settings used. Maintenance or pre-flight runups

for turboprop aircraft should be conducted at one of the locations shown on

Figure 3–19 in the NCP document and, as wind conditions permit, should

be oriented to the north or northeast. This will abate ground noise levels in

the community, especially at times when background noise levels are very

low. FAA Action: Approved. FAA approval is given in consideration of the

exceptions available to aircraft operators. This measure has been in effect

since May 1995. New information which may become available to the FAA

which demonstrates that this measure could impact total number or hours

of Stage 2 or Stage 3 aircraft operations may make this measure subject to

applicable requirements of 14 CFR Part 161.

LAND USE MEASURES

7.3.1 Land Acquisition ........... This measure recommends land acquisition in Rock Creek Campground and

residential or vacant uses in the Naples Villas area to develop a compatible

buffer when no other land use strategy is appropriate. FAA Action: Approved under 14 CFR Part 150 with respect to noncompatible land uses

within the noise contours of the official noise exposure maps as provided in

the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act and 14 CFR Part 150. Some

of these areas may be outside of the noise contours, in which case they

would be outside the parameters of this Part 150 approval. However, the

FAA would encourage local government to exercise its prerogative to establish noise buffers that meet locally determined needs. Vacant land is

deemed compatible under 14 CFR Part 150 unless it is demonstrated that

there is imminent danger of it being developed noncompatibly.

Pages 5–2 to 5–5 and 7–5;

Tables 5–2 and 7–3; and

Figures 4–2 and 5–1.

7.3.2 Easements .................... This measure recommends the purchase of easements for homes in the

Naples Villas area and the consideration of easements for Rock Creek

Campground to provide an adequate buffer of compatible uses around the

airport. FAA Action: Approved under 14 CFR Part 150 with respect to noncompatible land uses within the noise contours of the official noise exposure maps as provided in the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act

and 14 CFR Part 150. Some of these areas may be outside of the noise

contours, in which case they would be outside the parameters of this Part

150 approval. However, the FAA would encourage local government to exercise its prerogative to establish noise buffers that meet locally determined

needs. Vacant land is deemed compatible under 14 CFR Part 150 unless it

is demonstrated that there is imminent danger of it being developed noncompatibly.

Pages 5–7, 5–8 and 7–5; Tables 5–2 and 7–3; and Figures 4–2 and 5–1.

7.3.3 Zoning/Land Use Planning.The NAA has adopted the DNL 65dB noise contour as the threshold of incompatibility for residential areas, but for zoning and land use planning this

measure recommends that the area within the DNL 60dB noise contour

apply the same standard as Part 150 recommends for the DNL 65dB noise

contour as a buffer to ensure that residential and noise sensitive uses are

not developed too close to the Airport. FAA Action: Approved. This is within

the authority of the local land use planning jurisdictions.

Pages 5–10 to 5–12 and 7–5;

Tables 5–2 and 7–3; and

Figure 5–2.

7.3.4 Fair Disclosure .............. It is recommended that a Fair Disclosure Program be developed to educate

potential home buyers of the airport and its flight paths through voluntary

cooperation from realtors, lenders, property managers, and local government staff so all potential residents who would be located along the flight

paths for the runways would be aware of their location. This measure includes the development, publication and distribution of information regarding airport noise and operations. FAA Action: Approved.

Pages 5–13, 5–14 and 7–5;

and Tables 5–2 and 7–3.

CONTINUING PROGRAMS MEASURES

7.4.1 Noise Abatement Officer It is recommended that the Noise Abatement Officer position currently being

filed by staff with additional responsibilities at the Airport be continued. This

person’s responsibilities include oversight of the implementation of all noise

abatement/land use compatibility programs as well as investigation of noise

complaints FAA Action: Approved.

Pages 2–3, 6–1 and 7–6; and

Table 7–4.

7.4.2 Noise Compatibility Advisory Committee.This measure recommends the implementation of a noise compatibility advisory committee with membership consisting of representatives of airport

users and tenants, local officials, area businesses, area residents, and Airport management. This will be an advisory committee to provide feedback

regarding noise issues and represent all interests on and around the airport

FAA Action: Approved.

Pages 6–1 and 7–6; and Table

7–4.

7.4.3 Noise Monitoring Program.This measure recommends the implementation of a noise monitoring program

and the purchase (or rental) of a portable noise monitor and associated

computer software and hardware. Residents surrounding the Airport can

assist the noise abatement officer by providing sites for noise monitoring

FAA Action: Approved.

Pages 6–2 and 7–6; and Table

7–4.

7.4.4 Public Information Program.The development and implementation of a public information program is recommended to provide the public with information which makes them aware

of the efforts of the Airport management to address their concerns. One

measure which would continue is the newsletter which is routinely published by the NAA. FAA Action: Approved.

Pages 6–2 and 7–6; and Table

7–4.

7.4.5 NCP Review, Evaluation, and Revision.This measure recommends that the Noise Compatibility Program be reviewed

and evaluated on a regular basis to measure performance against goals.

The Part 150 will be updated every five years or sooner if applicable. FAA

Action: Approved.
