Noise Exposure Map Notice; 

Burlington International Airport; South 

Burlington, Vermont 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps for Burlington International 

Airport, as submitted by the City of 

Burlington, Vermont, under the 

provisions of Title I of the Aviation 

Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 

(Public Law 96–193) and 14 CFR part 

150, are in compliance with applicable 

requirements. 

DATES: The effective date of the FAA’s 

determination on the noise exposure 

maps is December 22, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Richard Doucette, Federal Aviation 

Administration, New England Region, 

Airports Division, 12 New England 

Executive Park, Burlington, 

Massachusetts 01803. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for Burlington International Airport are 

in compliance with applicable 

requirements of Part 150, effective 

December 22, 2015. 

Under Section 103 of Title I of the 

Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

Act of 1979 (hereinafter referred to as 

‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may 

submit to the FAA noise exposure maps 

that meet applicable regulations and 

that depict non-compatible land uses as 

of the date of submission of such maps, 

a description of projected aircraft 

operations, 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 such noise exposure maps 

that are found by FAA to be in 

compliance with the requirements of 

Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 

150, promulgated pursuant to Title I of 

the Act, may submit a noise 

compatibility program for FAA approval 

that sets forth the measures the operator 

has taken, or proposes, for the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the noise exposure map and related 

descriptions submitted by the City of 

Burlington, Vermont. The specific maps 

under consideration were ‘‘Figure 12, 

2015 Existing Conditions Noise 

Exposure Map’’ and ‘‘Figure 13, 2020 

Forecast Conditions Noise Exposure 

Map’’ in the submission. The FAA has 

determined that these maps for 

Burlington International Airport are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on December 22, 2015. 

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 a noise 

exposure map. 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 the map 

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. 

Copies of the noise exposure maps 

and of the FAA’s evaluation of the maps 

are available for examination at the 

following locations:

The FAA has completed its review of 

the noise exposure map and related
