submitted by the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority. The documentation that constitutes the ‘‘noise exposure

maps’’ as defined in section 150.7 of Part 150 includes: Figure 1–1, Jackson-Evers International Airport and Surrounding Communities; Figure 3–1, Locations of Noise Measurement Sites; Figure 5–1, Existing Airport Diagram; Figure 5–2, Runways 16L/16R Radar and Modeled Flight Tracks for Departures and Arrivals; Figure 5–3, Runways 34L/34R Radar and Modeled Flight Tracks for Departures and Arrivals; Figure 5–4, Runways 16L/16R Radar and Modeled Flight Tracks for Flight Patterns; Figure 5–5, Runways 34L/34R Radar and Modeled Flight Tracks for Flight Patterns; Figure 5–6, Helicopter Radar and Modeled Flight Tracks for Departures and Arrivals; Figure 6–1, Existing Condition (2010) Noise Exposure Map; Figure 6–2, Forecast Condition (2015) Noise Exposure Map; Figure 6–3, Comparison of Existing (2010) and Forecast (2015) Noise Exposure Maps; Table 1–1, Land Use Compatibility with Yearly Day-Night Average Sound Levels; Table 1–2, Part 150 Noise Exposure Maps Checklist; Table 3–1, Summary of Noise Measurement Sites; Table 3–2, Summary of Day-Night Average Sound Level Measurements; Table 5–1, Airport Runway Data; Table 5–2, Aircraft Operations; Table 5–3, Existing Conditions (2010) Modeled Average Daily Aircraft Operations; Table 5–4, Forecast Conditions (2015) Modeled Average Daily Aircraft Operations; Table 5–5, Modeled Runway Use; Table 5–6, Jet Aircraft Model Track Utilization; Table 5–7, Propeller Aircraft Model Track Utilization; Table 5–8, Helicopter Model Track Utilization; and Table 5–9, Pattern Model Track Utilization. The FAA has determined that these noise exposure maps and accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on February 18, 2011.

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 47503 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 47506 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 that submitted those maps, or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which consultation is required under section 47503 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 full noise exposure map documentation and of the FAA’s evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the following locations: Federal Aviation Administration, Jackson Airports District Office, 100 West Cross Street, Suite B, Jackson, MS

39208–2307.
