program for FAA approval which sets

forth the measures the operator has

taken or proposes for the reduction of

existing noncompatible uses and for the

prevention of the introduction of

additional noncompatible uses.

The State of Hawaii, Department of

Transportation, submitted to the FAA

on December 3, 1998 (original

submittal) and April 12, 2000 (revised

pages), noise exposure maps,

descriptions and other documentation

which were produced during the

preparation of the Dillingham Airfield

Noise Compatibility Study dated

October, 1998, Revised March, 2000. It

was requested that the FAA review this

material as the noise exposure maps, as

described in Section 103(a)(1) 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

104(b) of the Act.

The FAA has completed its review of

the noise exposure maps and related

descriptions submitted by the state of

Hawaii, Department of Transportation.

The specific maps under consideration

are Figures 4–1, ‘‘2000 (Existing) Base

Year Noise Exposure Map’’ and 5–1,

‘‘2005 (Five Year) Noise Exposure

Map,’’ in the submission. The FAA has

determined that these maps for

Dillingham Airfield are in compliance

with applicable requirements. This

determination is effective on September

14, 2000. 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 103 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 107 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 which submitted those

maps, or with those public agencies and

planning agencies with which

consultation is required under section

103 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.

The FAA has formally received the

noise compatibility program for

Dillingham Airfield, also effective on

September 14, 2000. 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 March 15, 2001.

The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be

conducted under the provisions of 14

CFR 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 noncompatible land uses and

preventing the introduction of

additional noncompatible 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 noise

exposure maps, the FAA’s evaluation of

the maps, and the proposed noise

compatibility program are available for

examination at the following locations:
