DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Receipt of Noise Compatibility 

Program and Request for Review; 

Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County 

Airport, Detroit, MI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces that it 

is reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program that was 

submitted for Detroit Metropolitan 

Wayne County Airport under the 

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47504 et. seq 

(the Aviation Safety and Noise 

Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to 

as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 CFR part 150 by 

Wayne County Airport Authority. This 

program was submitted subsequent to a 

determination by FAA that associated 

noise exposure maps submitted under 

14 CFR part 150 for Detroit Metropolitan 

Wayne County Airport were in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements, effective March 7, 2006 

and was published in the Federal 

Register on March 21, 2006. The 

proposed noise compatibility program 

will be approved or disapproved on or 

before August 29, 2009. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date 

of the start of FAA’s review of the noise 

compatibility program is March 2, 2009. 

The public comment period ends May 1, 

2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Ernest Gubry, Detroit Airports District 

Office, 11677 South Wayne Road, Suite 

107, Romulus, Michigan 48174, 734– 

229–2905. Comments on the proposed 

noise compatibility program should also 

be submitted to the above office. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA is 

reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program for Detroit 

Metropolitan Wayne County Airport 

which will be approved or disapproved 

on or before August 29, 2009. This 

notice also announces the availability of 

this program for public review and 

comment. 

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 the Act, may 

submit a noise compatibility program 

for FAA approval which sets forth the 

measures the operator has taken or 

proposes to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The FAA has formally received the 

noise compatibility program for Detroit 

Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, 

effective on March 2, 2009. The airport 

operator has requested that the FAA 

review this material 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. Preliminary review of 

the submitted material indicates that it 

conforms to FAR Part 150 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 August 29, 2009. 

The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be 

conducted under the provisions of 14 

CFR part 150, section 150.33. The 

primary considerations in the 

evaluation process are whether the 

proposed measures may reduce the level 

of aviation safety or create an undue 

burden on interstate or foreign 

commerce, and whether they are 

reasonably consistent with obtaining the 

goal of reducing existing noncompatible land uses and preventing the 

introduction of additional noncompatible land uses. 

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on the proposed program with 

specific reference to these factors. All 

comments relating to these factors, 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:
