Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice; Martin 

County Airport, Stuart, FL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the Noise Exposure 

Maps submitted by the Martin County 

Board of County Commissioners for 

Martin County 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: The effective date 

of the FAA’s determination on the noise 

exposure maps is December 6, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Administration, Orlando Airports 

District Office, 5950 Hazeltine National 

Drive, Suite 400, Orlando, Florida

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted 

for Martin County Airport are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements of Title 14 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) part 150, effective 

December 6, 2011. Under 49 U.S.C. 

section 47503 of 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 14 CFR part 150, 

promulgated pursuant to the Act, may 

submit a Noise Compatibility Program 

for FAA approval which sets forth the 

measures the airport operator has taken 

or proposes to take to reduce existing 

non-compatible 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 Martin County Board 

of County Commissioners. The 

documentation that constitutes the 

‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in 

Section 150.7 of 14 CFR part 150 

includes: Table 4–2 Total and Average 

Annual Day Aircraft Operations, Base 

Year 2010 and Five-Year Forecast 2015; 

Table 4–3 Day-Night Split of 

Operations; Table 4–4 Total and 

Average Annual Day Aircraft Operations

78330 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 242 / Friday, December 16, 2011 / Notices 

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 14 

CFR 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 14 CFR part 

150, that the statutorily required 

consultation has been accomplished. 

Copies of the full Noise Exposure 

Maps documentation and of the FAA’s 

evaluation of the maps are available for 

examination at the following locations: 

Federal Aviation Administration, 

Orlando Airports District Office, 5950 

Hazeltine National Drive, Suite 400, 

Orlando, Florida 32822.

individual named above under the 

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT.
