attendees) at the U.S. Department of 

Transportation, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue SE., Washington, DC. 

Attendance is open to the public up to

public who plans to attend this meeting 

must notify the registration contact 

noted below at least five (5) calendar 

days prior to the meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

24, 2012, the Secretary, as mandated by 

Section 411 of the FAA Modernization 

and Reform Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112– 

95, 126 Stat. 11 (2012)), established the 

Advisory Committee on Aviation 

Consumer Protection (ACACP) and 

announced those persons appointed as 

members. The committee’s charter, 

drafted in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as 

amended, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, sets forth 

policies for the operation of the advisory 

committee and is available on the 

Department’s Web site at http://

facasms.fido.gov/committee/

charters.aspx?cid=2448&aid=47. 

The fifth meeting of the ACACP 

initially was scheduled for Tuesday, 

October 8, 2013, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 

p.m. Eastern Time at the Federal 

Aviation Administration headquarters 

in Washington, DC. Due to the lapse in 

funding of the Federal government on 

October 1, 2013, key preparations for 

the fifth committee meeting by law had 

to be placed on hold until funding was 

resumed. The meeting has been 

rescheduled for Monday, December 16, 

2013, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time in the Oklahoma City 

Room at the U.S. Department of 

Transportation headquarters, 1200 New 

Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC. The 

agenda for the meeting includes an 

update from the DOT’s Office of 

Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings 

(Enforcement Office) on the 

implementation status of the ACACP’s 

initial set of recommendations to the 

Secretary submitted to Congress on 

March 22, 2013. Other issues to be 

discussed include making consumer 

rights information available to the 

public on airport posters, delays in the 

clearance of passengers arriving on 

international flights through the U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection facilities 

at U.S. airports, customized airfare 

pricing and potential consumer 

protection issues, and the ACACP’s 

recommendations for calendar year 

2013 to the Secretary of Transportation 

on additional needed consumer 

protection measures. 

As announced in the notices of 

previous meetings of the ACACP, the 

meeting will be open to the public, and, 

time permitting, comments by members 

of the public are invited. Since access to 

the U.S. Department of Transportation 

headquarters building is controlled for 

security purposes, we ask that any 

member of the general public who plans 

to attend the fifth meeting notify the 

Department contact noted above no later 

than five (5) calendar days prior to the 

meeting. Attendance will be necessarily 

limited by the size of the meeting room. 

Members of the public may present 

written comments at any time. The 

docket number referenced above (OST–

established for committee documents 

including any written comments that 

may be filed. At the discretion of the 

Chairperson and time permitting, after 

completion of the planned agenda,

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice for 

Laughlin/Bullhead International 

Airport, Bullhead City, Arizona 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by Mohave County 

Airport Authority, for Laughlin/


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2013 / Notices 71707 

Bullhead International Airport under 

the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. 

(Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

Act) and 14 CFR Part 150 are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. 

DATES: Effective Date: This notice is 

effective November 29, 2013 and 

applicable on November 21, 2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jared M. Raymond, Airport Planner, 

Federal Aviation Administration, 2800 

N. 44th Street, Suite 510, Phoenix, 

Arizona 85008, Telephone: (602) 379– 

3022. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for Laughlin/Bullhead International 

Airport are in compliance with 

applicable requirements of 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150 

(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘Part 150’’), 

effective November 21, 2013. Under 49 

U.S.C. section 47503 of the Aviation 

Safety and Noise Abatement Act 

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

airport operator may submit to the FAA 

noise exposure maps which meet 

applicable regulations and which 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 noise exposure maps that are 

found by FAA to be in compliance with 

the requirements of Part 150, 

promulgated pursuant to the Act, may 

submit a noise compatibility program 

for FAA approval which sets forth the 

measures the operator has taken or 

proposes to take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the noise exposure maps and 

accompanying documentation 

submitted by the Mohave County 

Airport Authority. The documentation 

that constitutes the ‘‘Noise Exposure 

Maps’’ as defined in section 150.7 of 

Part 150 includes: Exhibit 1 Existing 

(2012) Noise Exposure Map and Exhibit 

2 Future (2017) Noise Exposure Map. 

The existing and future Noise Exposure 

Maps contain current and forecast 

information including the depiction of 

the airport and its boundaries, the 

runway configuration and runway 

expansion (future), noise sensitive land 

uses such as residential, noise sensitive 

institutions, and schools are shown 

within the existing and future noise 

contours. Arrival and departure flight 

tracks for the existing and five-year 

forecast Noise Exposure Maps are found 

in Exhibits 2C, 2D, 2F, 2G and 2H. Table 

2C summarized the operational fleet 

mix for Laughlin/Bullhead International 

Airport for existing (2012) and future 

(2017) conditions. Table 2D summarizes 

the type and frequency (in percentage) 

of aircraft operations (including 

nighttime operations) for existing 

conditions (2012) and future conditions 

(2017). The FAA has determined that 

these noise exposure maps and 

accompanying documentation are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on November 21, 2013. 

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 

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 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
