Noise Compatibility Program for Dane 

County Regional Airport/Truax Field, 

Dane County, Wisconsin 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Acceptance of Dane County 

Regional Airport/Truax Field noise 

exposure map. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

map submitted by Dane County for Dane 

County Regional Airport/Truax Field is 

in compliance with applicable statutory 

and regulatory requirements. 

DATES: The effective date of the FAA’s 

determination on the noise exposure 

map is December 21, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Bobb Beauchamp, 2300 Devon Avenue, 

Suite 312, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

determined the noise exposure map 

submitted by Dane County for Dane 

County Regional Airport/Truax Field, is 

in compliance with applicable statutory 

and regulatory requirements, effective 

December 21, 2023. Under title 49, 

United States Code (U.S.C.) section 

47503, an airport operator may submit 

to the FAA, noise exposure maps 

depicting non-compatible uses as of the 

date such map is submitted, a 

description of estimated aircraft 

operations during a forecast period that 

is at least five years in the future and 

how those operations will affect the 

map. A noise exposure map must be 

prepared in accordance with title 14, 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

150, the regulations promulgated 

pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 47502 and 

developed in consultation with public 

agencies and planning authorities in the 

area surrounding the airport, State and 

Federal agencies, interested and affected 

parties in the local community, and 

aeronautical users of the airport. In 

addition, an airport operator that 

submitted a noise exposure map, which 

the FAA determined is compliant with 

statutory and regulatory requirements, 

may submit a noise compatibility 

program for FAA approval that sets 

forth measures the operator has taken or 

proposes to take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The FAA completed its review of the 

noise exposure map and supporting 

documentation submitted by Dane 

County and determined the noise 

exposure map and accompanying 

documentation are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. The 

documentation that constitutes the 

Noise Exposure Map includes: Table

determination is effective on December 

21, 2023. FAA’s determination on an 

airport’s noise exposure map is limited 

to a finding that the noise exposure map 

was developed in accordance with the 

49 U.S.C 47503 and 47506 and 

procedures contained in 14 CFR part 

150, appendix A. FAA’s acceptance of 

an NEM 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
