Federal Aviation Administration

Noise Exposure Map Notice, Duluth

International Airport, Duluth, MN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) announces its

determination that the noise exposure

maps (NEM) submitted by Duluth

Airport Authority for Duluth

International Airport 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.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the

FAA’s determination on the noise

exposure maps is February 26, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Daniel J. Millenacker, Project Manager,

Federal Aviation Administration,

Airports District Office, 6020 28th Ave.

So., Room No. 102, Minneapolis, MN

55450–2706, (612) 713–4350.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice announces that the FAA finds

that the noise exposure maps submitted

for Duluth International Airport are in

compliance with applicable

requirements of Part 150, effective

February 26, 1997.

Under Section 103 of the Aviation

Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979

(hereafter referred to as ‘‘the Act’’), an

airport operator may submit to the FAA

noise exposure maps which meet

applicable regulations and which depict

noncompatible 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 noise exposure maps that are

found by FAA to be in compliance with

the requirements of Federal Aviation

Regulations (FAR) Part 150,

promulgated pursuant to Title I of the

Act, may submit a noise compatibility

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 FAA has completed its review of

the noise exposure maps and related

descriptions submitted by Duluth

Airport Authority. The specific maps

under consideration are Figure 10a.—

1996 Revised Existing Noise Contours,

and Figure 10c.—2001 Revised Future

Cast Contours in the NEM submittal

dated December 18, 1996. The FAA has

determined that these maps for Duluth

International Airport are in compliance

with applicable requirements. This

determination is effective on February

26, 1997. 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 statutory-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:

individual named above under the

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT.
