DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Approval of Noise Compatibility 

Program Update; Westfield-Barnes 

Regional Airport (BAF), Westfield, 

Massachusetts 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

findings on the Noise Compatibility 

Program (NCP) Update submitted by the 

City of Westfield, Massachusetts, 

through its Aviation Department, for 

Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport. The 

Final Noise Compatibility Program 

(NCP) was submitted to FAA for review 

and approval on May 26, 2023. The NCP 

was found to be sufficient for 

consideration by the FAA, and a 

Federal Register noticed appeared on 

July 11, 2023. The required 60-day 

public comment period expired on 

September 9, 2023. The NEM was 

previously determined to be in 

compliance on June 13, 2019, and is still 

valid. The NCP contained 10 noise 

abatement measures, nine land use 

measures, and four program 

management measures. Of the 23 

measures proposed, 12 were approved, 

9 were approved as voluntary, one 

requires no action at this time, and one 

was disapproved for purposes of part 

150. 

DATES: The applicable start date of the 

FAA’s approval is December 14, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Cheryl Quaine, Federal Aviation 

Administration, New England Regional 

Office Environmental Protection 

Specialist, Airports Division, Federal 

Aviation Administration, 1200 District 

Avenue, Burlington, Massachusetts 

01803. Phone number: 781–238–7613. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA’s 

approval of the NCP Update for the 

Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport. Per 

United States Code section 47504 (49 

U.S.C. 47504) and Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150, an 

airport sponsor who previously 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
88484 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 244 / Thursday, December 21, 2023 / Notices 

submitted a noise exposure map (NEM) 

may submit to the FAA a noise 

compatibility program which sets forth 

the measures taken or proposed by the 

airport sponsor for the reduction of 

existing non-compatible land uses and 

prevention of additional non-compatible 

land uses within the area covered by the 

NEMs. As required by 49 U.S.C. 47504, 

such programs must be developed in 

consultation with interested and 

affected parties including local 

communities, government agencies, 

airport users, and the FAA. The FAA 

does not substitute its judgment for that 

of the airport sponsor with respect to 

which measures should be 

recommended for action. The FAA 

approval or disapproval of an airport 

sponsor’s recommendations in their 

noise compatibility program are made in 

accordance with the requirements and 

standards pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 47504 

and 14 CFR part 150, which is limited 

to the following determinations: 

a. The noise compatibility program 

was developed in accordance with the 

provisions and procedures of 14 CFR 

150.23; 

b. Program measures are reasonably 

consistent with achieving the goals of 

reducing existing non-compatible 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; 

and 

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 of FAA’s approval 

of NCPs are delineated in 14 CFR 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 action. A request for 

Federal action or approval to implement 

specific noise compatibility measures 

may be required, and an FAA decision 

on the request may require an 

environmental assessment of the 

proposed action. Approval does not 

constitute a commitment by the FAA to 

financially assist in the implementation 

of the noise compatibility program nor 

a determination that all measures 

covered by the NCP are eligible for 

grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. 

Where federal funding is sought, 

requests must be submitted to the FAA 

New England Regional Office at 1200 

District Ave., Burlington, MA 01803. 

The City of Westfield submitted the 

noise exposure maps, descriptions, and 

other documentation produced during 

the noise compatibility planning study 

to the FAA and the FAA determined 

that the NEMs for BAF were in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements under 14 CFR 150, 

effective June 3, 2019 (Noise Exposure 

Map Notice; Westfield-Barnes Regional 

Airport, Westfield, Massachusetts, 

volume 84, Federal Register, pages 

35177–8, July 22, 2019). The airport 

operator requested that the FAA review 

the submitted material and that the 

noise mitigation measures, to be 

implemented jointly by the airport and 

surrounding communities, be approved 

as an NCP. The formal review period, 

limited by law to a maximum of 180 

days, was initiated on May 26, 2023. 

Notice of the intent to review the NCP 

was published in the Federal Register 

on July 11, 2023 (Notice of Receipt of 

Noise Compatibility Program Update 

and Request for Review, volume 88, 

Federal Register, pages 44182–3, July 

11, 2023). The Federal Register Notice 

also announced the start of a 60- day 

period of public review for the NCP 

documentation. The FAA received no 

comments during the public review. 

It was requested that the FAA 

evaluate and approve this material as a 

noise compatibility program as 

described in 49 U.S.C. 47504. The FAA 

began its review and was required by a 

provision of 49 U.S.C. 47504 to approve 

or disapprove the program within 180 

days, other than the use of new or 

modified flight procedures for noise 

control. The submitted program 

contained 23 proposed measures to 

minimize impacts of aviation noise on 

and off the airport. The FAA completed 

its review and determined that the 

procedural and substantive 

requirements of the 49 U.S.C. 47504 and 

14 CFR part 150 were satisfied. A 

Record of Approval for the overall 

program was issued by the FAA 

effective December 14, 2023. 

The specific program elements and 

their individual determinations are as 

follows: 

NA–1—Maintain Runway Heading to 

East Mountain Ridge after Departing 

Runway 15. Approved as voluntary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Certification of Enforcement of 

Vehicle Size and Weight Laws. 

OMB Control #: 2125–0034. 

Background: Title 23, U.S.C., section 

141, requires each State, the District of 

Columbia and Puerto Rico to file an 

annual certification that they are 

enforcing their size and weight laws on 

Federal-aid highways and that their 

Interstate System weight limits are 

consistent with Federal requirements to 

be eligible to receive an apportionment 

of Federal highway trust funds. Failure 

of a State to file a certification, 

adequately enforce its size and weight 

laws, and enforce weight laws on the 

Interstate System that are consistent 

with Federal requirements, could result 

in a specified reduction of its Federal 

highway fund apportionment for the 

next fiscal year. In addition, section 123 

of the Surface Transportation Assistance 

Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–599, 92 

Stat.2689, 2701) requires each 

jurisdiction to inventory annually (1) its 

penalties for violation of its size and 

weight laws, and (2) the term and cost 

of its oversize and overweight permits. 

Section 141 also authorizes the 

Secretary to require States to file such 

information as is necessary to verify that 

their certifications are accurate. To 

determine whether States are adequately 

enforcing their size and weight limits, 

FHWA requires that each State submit 

to the FHWA an updated plan for 

enforcing their size and weight limits. 

The plan goes into effect at the 

beginning of each Federal fiscal year. At 

the end of the fiscal year, States must 

submit their certifications and sufficient 

information to verify that their 

enforcement goals established in the 

plan have been met. 

Respondents: The State Departments 

of Transportation (or equivalent) in the 

50 states, the District of Columbia, and 

the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. 

Frequency: Annually in separate 

collections: one certification and one 

plan. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Each response will take 

approximately 40 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Total estimated average annual 

burden is 4,160 hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the FHWA’s performance; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the collected information; and 

(4) ways that the burden could be 

minimized, including the use of
