Exposure Maps. 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 that submitted those 

maps, or those public agencies and 

planning agencies with which 

consultation is required under Section 

47503 of the Act. The FAA has relied on 

the certification by the airport operator, 

under Section 150.21 of Part 150, that 

the statutorily required consultation has 

been accomplished. 

The FAA has formally received the 

Noise Compatibility Program for Boise 

Air Terminal (Gowen Field) Airport, 

also effective on May 2, 2016. 

Preliminary review of the submitted 

material indicates that it conforms to the 

requirements for the submittal of Noise 

Compatibility Programs, but that further 

review will be necessary prior to 

approval or disapproval of the program. 

The formal review period, limited by 

law to a maximum of 180 days, will be 

completed on or before October 29, 

2016. 

The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be 

conducted under the provisions of Part 

150, Section 150.33. The primary 

considerations in the evaluation process 

are whether the proposed measures may 

reduce the level of aviation safety, 

create an undue burden on interstate or 

foreign commerce, or be reasonably 

consistent with obtaining the goal of 

reducing existing non-compatible land 

uses and preventing the introduction of 

additional non-compatible land uses. 

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on the proposed program with 

specific reference to these factors. All 

comments, other than those properly 

addressed to local land use authorities, 

will be considered by the FAA to the 

extent practicable. 

Copies of the full Noise Exposure Map 

documentation and the proposed Noise 

Compatibility Program are available for 

examination at the following locations:

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice for 

Harrisburg International Airport, 

Middletown, Pennsylvania 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by the Susquehanna 

Regional Airport Authority for 

Harrisburg International Airport under 

the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. 

(Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

Act) and 14 CFR part 150 are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date 

of the FAA’s determination on the noise 

exposure maps is May 3, 2016. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Harrisburg Airports District Office (HAR 

ADO), Susan L. McDonald, 

Environmental Protection Specialist, 

Federal Aviation Administration, HAR 

ADO, 3905 Hartzdale Drive, Suite 508, 

Camp Hill, PA 17011, Telephone: (717)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for the Harrisburg International Airport 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements of 14 CFR part 150, 

effective January 13, 2004. Under 49 

U.S.C. Section 47503 of 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 during a forecast period that 

is at least five (5) years in the future, 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. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the noise exposure maps and 

accompanying documentation 

submitted by the Susquehanna Regional 

Airport Authority. The documentation 

that constitutes the ‘‘Noise Exposure 

Maps’’ (NEM) as defined in Section 

150.7 of Part 150 includes: 2015 Base 

Year NEM Figure (3–1) and 2020 Future 

Year NEM Figure (4–1). The Noise 

Exposure Maps contain current and 

forecast information, including the 

depiction of the airport and its 

boundaries, the runway configurations, 

and land uses such as residential, open 

space, commercial/office, community 

facilities, libraries, churches, open 

space, infrastructure, vacant and 

warehouse and those areas within the 

Day Night Average Sound Level (DNL) 

65, 70 and 75 noise contours. Estimates 

for the area within these contours for 

the 2015 Base Year are shown in Table 

3–1 and Table 4–1; and in Chapters 3 

and 4 of the NEM. Estimates of the 

future residential population within the 

2020 Future Year noise contours are 

shown in Table 4–1 and in Chapter 4 of 

the NEM. Appendix E, Figure E–1, 

displays the location of noise 

monitoring sites. Flight tracks for the 

existing and the five-year forecast Noise 

Exposure Maps are found in Chapter 2 

and Appendix F. The type and 

frequency of aircraft operations 

(including nighttime operations) are 

found in Appendix F, Tables F–1 

through and F–3. The FAA has 

determined that these noise exposure 

maps and accompanying documentation 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on May 3, 2016. 

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 47503 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 maps 

to resolve questions concerning, for 

example, which properties should be 

covered by the provisions of Section 

47506 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 noise exposure maps. 

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 

that submitted those maps, or with 

those public agencies and planning 

agencies with which consultation is 

required under Section 47503 of the 

Act. The FAA has relied on the 

certification by the airport operator, 

under Section 150.21 of FAR Part 150, 

that the statutorily required consultation 

has been accomplished.

documentation and of the FAA’s 

evaluation of the maps are available for
