BILLING CODE 4710–17–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Approval of Noise Compatibility 

Program Update, Key West 

International Airport, Key West, Florida 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

findings on the Noise Compatibility 

Program Update submitted by the 

Monroe County Board of County 

Commissioners 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. These findings are 

made in recognition of the description 

of Federal and nonfederal 

responsibilities in Senate Report No. 

96–52 (1980). On December 19, 2013, 

the FAA determined that the Noise 

Exposure Maps submitted by the 

Monroe County Board of County 

Commissioners under Part 150 were in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. On March 11, 2015, the 

FAA approved the Key West 

International Airport Noise 

Compatibility Program Update. All of 

the recommendations of the program 

that requested FAA approval were 

approved. No program elements relating 

to new or revised flight procedures for 

noise abatement were proposed by the 

airport operator. 

DATES: The effective date of the FAA’s 

approval of the Key West International 

Airport Noise Compatibility Program 

Update is March 11, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Allan Nagy, Environmental Program 

Specialist, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Orlando Airports 

District Office, 5950 Hazeltine National 

Drive, Orlando, Florida 32822, phone 

number: (407) 812–6331. Documents 

reflecting this FAA action may be 

reviewed at this same location by 

appointment with the above contact. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA has 

given its overall approval to the Noise 

Compatibility Program Update for Key 

West International Airport, effective 

March 11, 2015. 

Under Section 47504 of the Act, an 

airport operator who has previously 

submitted a Noise Exposure Map 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 

Noise Exposure Maps. The Act requires 

such programs to be developed in 

consultation with interested and 

affected parties including local 

communities, government agencies, 

airport users, and FAA personnel. 

Each airport Noise Compatibility 

Program developed in accordance with 

Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR) Part 150 is a local program, not 

a Federal program. 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’s approval or 

disapproval of each specific measure 

proposed by an airport Sponsor in a 

Record of Approval (ROA) is 

determined by applying approval 

criteria prescribed in 14 CFR 150.35(b). 

The Administrator approves programs 

under this part, if: 

(1) It is found that the program 

measures to be implemented would not 

create an undue burden on interstate or 

foreign commerce (including any unjust 

discrimination) and are reasonably 

consistent with achieving the goals of 

reducing existing noncompatible land 

uses around the airport and of 

preventing the introduction of 

additional noncompatible land uses; 

(2) The program provides for revision 

if made necessary by the revision of the 

Noise Exposure Map (NEM); and 

(3) Those aspects of programs relating 

to the use of flight procedures for noise 

control can be implemented within the 

period covered by the program and 

without: 

(i) Reducing the level of aviation 

safety provided; 

(ii) Derogating the requisite level of 

protection for aircraft, their occupants 

and persons and property on the 

ground; 

(iii) Adversely affecting the efficient 

use and management of the Navigable 

Airspace and Air Traffic Control 

Systems; or 

(iv) Adversely affecting any other 

powers and responsibilities of the 

Administrator prescribed by law or any 

other program, standard, or requirement 

established in accordance with law. 

Approval of a first time NCP or NCP 

Update 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 review of the proposed 

action. Approval does not constitute a 

commitment by the FAA to financially 

assist in the implementation of the 

program nor a determination that all 

measures covered by the program are 

eligible for grant-in-aid funding from the 

FAA. Where Federal funding is sought, 

requests for project grants must be 

submitted to the FAA Airports District 

Office in Orlando, Florida. 

The Monroe County Board of County 

Commissioners submitted to the FAA 

on October 29, 2013, the Noise Exposure 

Maps for the Key West International 

Airport. The Noise Exposure Maps were 

determined by FAA to be in compliance 

with applicable requirements on 

December 19, 2013. Notice of this 

determination was published in the 

Federal Register on December 27, 2013. 

On September 15, 2014, the Monroe 

County Board of County Commissioners 

submitted to the FAA the descriptions 

of the Sponsor’s proposed noise 

compatibility measures and other 

documentation produced during the 

Noise Compatibility Program Update 

study conducted from November, 2011 

through February 11, 2015. 

The Key West International Airport 

study contains a proposed Noise 

Compatibility Program Update 

comprised of actions designed for 

phased implementation by airport 

management and adjacent jurisdictions 

from September 15, 2014 beyond the 

year 2015. It was requested that FAA 

evaluate and approve this material as a 

Noise Compatibility Program Update as 

described in Section 47504 of the Act. 

The FAA began its review of the Noise 

Compatibility Program Update on 

September 15, 2014, and was required 

by provisions of the Act to approve or 

disapprove the program within 180 days 


tkelley on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
18492 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 65 / Monday, April 6, 2015 / Notices 

(other than the use of new or modified 

flight procedures for noise control). 

Failure to approve or disapprove such 

program within the 180-day period shall 

be deemed to be an approval of such 

program. 

The submitted program Update 

contained twenty-five (25) proposed 

actions for noise mitigation both on and 

off the Airport. The FAA completed its 

review and determined that the 

procedural and substantive 

requirements of the Act and 14 CFR part 

150 have been satisfied. The overall 

program, therefore, was approved by the 

FAA effective March 11, 2015. 

Outright approval was granted for 

thirteen (13) the specific program 

elements. No FAA action was requested 

or given for twelve (12) of the twentyfive (25) specific program elements. 

These elements are the sole 

responsibility of the Monroe County 

Board of County Commissioners to both 

implement and fund. 

These determinations are set forth in 

detail in a Record of Approval signed by 

the FAA on March 11, 2015. When a 

measure is disapproved by the FAA, 

airport Sponsors are encouraged to work 

with their local communities, 

governments and the FAA, outside of 

the formal Part 150 process as 

necessary, to implement initiatives that 

provide noise benefits for the 

surrounding community. 

The Record of Approval, as well as 

other evaluation materials and the 

documents comprising the submittal, 

are available for review at the FAA 

office listed above and at the 

administrative office of the Key West 

International Airport. The Record of 

Approval will also be available on-line 

at: http://www.faa.gov/airports_

airtraffic/airports/environmental/

airport_noise/part_150/states/.
