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 or 

proposes 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
