**Noise Exposure Map Notice: Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and**  **Request for Review**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its determination that the noise exposure maps submitted by Tucson Airport Authority for Tucson International Airport under the provisions of 49

U.S.C. 47501 et. seq (the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 CFR Part 150 are in compliance with applicable requirements. The FAA also announces that it is reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program
that was submitted for Tucson International Airport under Part 150 in conjunction with the noise exposure map, and that this program will be approved or disapproved on or before September 16, 2013.

**DATES :**  Effective Date: The effective date
of the start of FAA’s determination on the noise exposure maps and of the start
of its review of the associated noise compatibility program is March 20, 2013. The public comment period ends May 20, 2013.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Kristi Regotti, Los Angeles Airports District Office, Room 3000, 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Lawndale, CA 90261 and (310) 725–3614. 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 maps submitted for Tucson International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of Part 150, effective March 20, 2013. Further, FAA is reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program for that airport which will be approved or disapproved on or before September 16, 2013. This notice also announces the availability of this program for public review and

comment.

Under 49 U.S.C. 47503 (the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may submit to the FAA noise exposure maps which meet applicable regulations and which depict non-compatible land uses as of the date of submission of such maps, a description of projected aircraft operations, and the ways in which such operations will affect such maps. The Act requires such maps 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 noise exposure maps that are found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150, promulgated pursuant to the Act, may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets forth the measures the operator has taken orproposes to take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the
introduction of additional noncompatible uses.

Tucson Airport Authority submitted to the FAA noise exposure maps, descriptions, and other documentation that were produced during the Part 150 Noise Exposure Map and Noise Compatibility Program Update from 2008 through 2012. It was requested that
the FAA review this material as the noise exposure maps, as described in section 47503 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 47504 of the Act.

The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure maps and related descriptions submitted by Tucson Airport Authority. The specific
documentation determined to constitute the noise exposure maps includes:

Exhibit 3–1: Existing (2012) Baseline Noise Exposure Contour, page 3–3.

Exhibit 3–2: Future (2017) Baseline Noise Exposure Contour, page 3–7.

The FAA has determined that these maps for Tucson International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on March 20, 2013. 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
