BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice; Receipt of 

Noise Compatibility Program and 

Request for Review: Tweed New Haven 

Regional Airport, New Haven, CT 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

map for Tweed New Haven Regional 

Airport, as submitted by the Tweed New 

Haven Airport Authority 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, 

is in compliance with applicable 

requirements. The FAA also announces 

that it is reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program that was 

submitted for Tweed New Haven 

Regional Airport under Part 150 in 

conjunction with the noise exposure 

map, and that this program will be 

approved or disapproved on or before 

May 25, 2013. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date 

of the FAA’s determination on the noise 

exposure map and of the start of its 

review of the associated noise 

compatibility program is November 26, 

2012. The public comment period ends 

on March 29, 2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Richard Doucette, Federal Aviation 

Administration, New England Region, 

Airports Division, ANE–600, 12 New 

England Executive Park, Burlington MA 

01803. 

Comments on the proposed noise 

compatibility program should also be 

submitted to the above office. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure map submitted 

for Tweed New Haven Regional Airport 

is in compliance with applicable 

requirements of Part 150, effective 

November 26, 2012. Further, FAA is 

reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program for that airport 

which will be approved or disapproved 

on or before May 25, 2013. This notice 

also announces the availability of this 

program for public review and 

comment. 

Under Section 103 of Title I of the 

Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

Act of 1979 (hereinafter referred to as 

‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may 

submit to the FAA a noise exposure 

map which meets applicable regulations 

and which depicts non compatible land 

uses as of the date of submission of such 

map, a description of projected aircraft 

operations, and the ways in which such 

operations will affect such map. The Act 

requires such map to be developed in 

consultation with interested and 

affected parties in the local community, 

government agencies, and persons using 

the airport. An airport operator who has 

submitted a noise exposure map that is 

found by FAA to be in compliance with 

the requirements of Federal Aviation 

Regulation (FAR) Part 150, promulgated 

pursuant to Title I of the Act, may 

submit a noise compatibility program 

for FAA approval which sets forth the 

measures the operator has taken, or 

proposes, for the introduction of 

additional non-compatible uses. 

The Tweed New Haven Airport 

Authority submitted to the FAA, on 

November 26, 2012, a noise exposure 

map, descriptions, and other 

documentation that were produced 

during the Airport Noise Compatibility 

Planning (Part 150) study at Tweed New 

Haven Regional Airport from July 2011 

to November 2012. It was requested that 

the FAA review this material as the 

noise exposure map, as described in 

Section 103 (a)(1) of the Act, and that 

the noise mitigation measures, to be 

implemented jointly by the airport and 

surrounding communities, be approved 

as a noise compatibility program under 

Section 104(b) of the Act. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the noise exposure maps and related 

descriptions submitted by Tweed New 

Haven Airport Authority. The specific 

maps under consideration were: 

Figure 1: Existing (2012) Baseline Noise 

Exposure Map, page xix. 

Figure 2: Future (2017) Baseline Noise 

Exposure Map, page xx. 

The FAA has determined that the 

maps for Tweed New Haven Regional 

Airport are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on November 

26, 2012. 

FAA’s determination on an airport 

operator’s noise exposure maps is 

limited to a finding that the maps were 

developed in accordance with the 

procedures contained in Appendix A of 

FAR Part 150. Such determination does 

not constitute approval of the 

applicant’s data, information or plans, 

or a commitment to approve a noise 

compatibility program or to fund the 

implementation of that program. If 

questions arise concerning the precise 

relationship of specific properties to 

noise exposure contours depicted on a 

noise exposure map submitted under 

Section 103 of the Act, it should be 

noted that the FAA is not involved in 

any way in determining the relative 

locations of specific properties with 

regard to the depicted noise contours, or 

in interpreting the noise exposure map 

to resolve questions concerning, for 

example, which properties should be 

covered by the provisions of Section 107 

of the Act. These functions are 

inseparable from the ultimate land use 

control and planning responsibilities of 

local government. These local 

responsibilities are not changed in any 

way under Part 150 or through FAA’s 

review of a noise exposure map. 

Therefore, the responsibility for the 

detailed overlaying of noise exposure 

contours onto the map depicting 

properties on the surface rests 

exclusively with the airport operator
