DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Lambert-St. Louis International Airport,

St. Louis, Missouri; FAA Approval of

Noise Compatibility Program

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) announces it

findings on the Noise Compatibility

Program (NCP) update submitted by the

city of St. Louis Airport Authority

(STLAA) under the provisions of Title I

of the Aviation Safety and Noise

Abatement Act (ASNA) 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 July 15, 1996, the FAA

determined that the Noise Exposure

Maps (NEM) submitted by STLAA

under part 150 were in compliance with

applicable requirements. On January 10,

1997, the Associate Administrator for

Airports approved the Lambert-St. Louis

International Airport Noise

Compatibility Program. All measures in

the NCP are approved with the

exception of a portion of one measure

related to height hazard zoning, which

is not within the purview of part 150,

and another measure which is a flight

procedure that does not have to be acted

on within the 180-day formal review

period. An FAA determination on this

flight procedure is anticipated within

about 30 days.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the

FAA’s approval of the Lambert-St. Louis

International Airport Noise

Compatibility Program is January 10,

1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Moira D. Keane, ACE–615B, Federal

Aviation Administration, Airports

Division, 601 E. 12th St., Kansas City,

Missouri 64106. Telephone No. (816)

426–4731. Documents reflecting this

FAA action may be obtained from the

same individual.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice announces that the FAA has

given its overall approval to the Noise

Compatibility Program for the LambertSt. Louis International Airport, effective

January 10, 1997.

Under Section 104(a) the Aviation

Safety and Noise Abatement Act

(ASNA) of 1979, an airport operator

who has previously submitted a Noise

Exposure Map 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

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 Aviation Safety and

Noise Abatement Act of 1979, 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;

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
