**Noise Exposure Map Notice; Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and**  **Request for Review Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Seattle,**  **Washington**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

**SUMMARY :**  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its determination that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted by the Port of Seattle
for the Seattle-Tacoma 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. The FAA also announces that it is reviewing a proposed Noise Compatibility Program
that was submitted for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport under Part 150 in conjunction with the Noise Exposure Map, and that this program will be approved or disapproved on or before June 10, 2014.

**DATES :**  Effective Date: The effective date
of the FAA’s determination on the Noise Exposure Maps and of the start of its
review of the associated Noise Compatibility Program is December 13, 2013. The public comment period ends February 11, 2014.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Cayla Morgan, Federal Aviation Administration Seattle Airports District Office, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, Washington, 98057, (425) 227–2653. Comments on the proposed Noise Compatibility Program should also be
submitted to the above office.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This
Notice announces that the FAA finds that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of part 150, effective December 13, 2013. Further, FAA is reviewing a proposed Noise Compatibility Program for that Airport which will be approved or disapproved on or before June 10, 2014. This notice also announces the availability of this Program for public review and

comment.

Under 49 U.S.C., Section 47503 (the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, (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 orproposes to take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the
introduction of additional noncompatible uses.

The Port of Seattle submitted to the FAA on October 24, 2013 Noise Exposure Maps, descriptions and other documentation that were produced during the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport part 150 Noise Compatibility Study Update conducted between November 6, 2009 and October 24, 2013 It was requested that the FAA review this material as the Noise Exposure Maps, as described in Section 47503 of the Act, and that the noise mitigation measures, to be implemented jointly by the airport and surrounding communities, be approved as a Noise Compatibility Program under Section
47504 of the Act.


### 77549 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 246 / Monday, December 23, 2013 / Notices

The FAA has completed its review of the Noise Exposure Maps and related descriptions submitted by the Port of Seattle. The specific documentation
determined to constitute the Noise Exposure Maps includes: Existing (2013) Noise Exposure Map (Exhibit NEM–1), (Exhibit 3–14) and the Future (2018) Noise Exposure Map (Exhibit NEM–2), (Exhibit 3–15) and Future (2018) Noise Exposure Map/Noise Compatibility Program (Exhibit 6–2).
The FAA has determined that these maps for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements. This
determination is effective on December 13, 2013. FAA’s determination on the 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 14 CFR part 150. Such determination does not constitute approval of the airport operator’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 exposure 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.

The FAA has formally received theNoise Compatibility Program for SeattleTacoma International Airport, also effective on December 13, 2013. Preliminary review of the submitted
material indicates that it conforms to the requirements for the submittal of Noise Compatibility Programs, but that further review will be necessary prior to approval or disapproval of the program. The formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, will be completed on or before June 10, 2014.

The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be conducted under the provisions of part 150, Section 150.33. The primary considerations in the evaluation process are whether the proposed measures may reduce the level of aviation safety,
create an undue burden on interstate or foreign commerce, or be reasonably consistent with obtaining the goal of reducing existing non-compatible land uses and preventing the introduction of additional non-compatible land uses.

Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed program with specific reference to these factors. All comments, other than those properly addressed to local land use authorities, will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable. Copies of the Noise Exposure Maps and the proposed Noise Compatibility Program are available for examination at the following locations: Federal Aviation Administration,

**DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION**

**Federal Highway Administration**

**Revise Notice of Intent for an Environmental Impact Statement: State**  **Route (SR) 95 Realignment Study: Interstate 40 to SR 68, Mohave County,** 
**Arizona**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), United States Department of Transportation (DOT).

**ACTION :**  Revised Notice of Intent (NOI).

**SUMMARY :**  FHWA is issuing this Revised NOI to advise the public of a change to the environmental review process for the proposed realignment of State Route (SR) 95 in Mohave County, Arizona. FHWA and the project sponsor, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), intend to use a tiered process to facilitate project decision-making.
This notice revises the NOI that was published in the Federal Register on June 1, 2007.

The proposed tiering approach will allow FHWA and ADOT to identify potential corridors and to broadly evaluate a range of potential environmental impacts and mitigation approaches in Tier 1. The Tier 1 analysis will utilize as appropriate
technical data obtained thus far in the environmental review process. Subsequently, in Tier 2, the agencies will evaluate project-level, site-specific impacts, and required mitigation and

commitments.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On June 1, 2007, FHWA and ADOT, in cooperation with Mohave County and the City of Bullhead City, issued an NOI to prepare an EIS for the proposed realignment of SR 95 in Mohave County, Arizona (Federal Register Vol. 72, No. 105). The study area begins approximately 2 miles south of Interstate 40 near Topock,
Arizona and extends north to SR 68 near Bullhead City, Arizona. Information and documents regarding the environmental review process will be made available for the duration of the Tier 1 EIS process on the following Web site: https:// www.azdot.gov/projects/far-west/sr-95- realignment-study-i-40-to-sr-68.

Public Involvement: Public outreach will continue throughout this Tier 1 EIS process. At least one public hearing will be held during the study, and the Draft EIS will be available for public and agency review and comment prior to the public hearing.

Purpose and Need: The Tier 1 EIS
will evaluate alternatives that address the following needs of the SR 95 corridor: (1) Increasing traffic volumes will lead to capacity deficiencies on SR 95 within the study area; (2) the operation of SR 95 will fail by the design year 2040 through much of the study area; (3) much of the length of the roadway will continue to be used for regional and local traffic, which is not consistent with its intended function; and (4) critically high accident rates will
continue into the foreseeable future
unless measures are undertaken to
address at least some of the factors causing the accidents. Therefore, the
