DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Approval of Noise Compatibility 

Program for Cleveland-Hopkins 

International Airport, Cleveland, Ohio 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The FAA announces its 

findings on the noise compatibility 

program submitted by the City of 

Cleveland, Ohio under the provisions of 

49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. (formerly the 

Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

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

and 14 CFR part 150 (hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘Part 150’’). On June 6, 

2012, the FAA determined that the 

noise exposure maps submitted by the 

City of Cleveland, Ohio under Part 150 

were in compliance with applicable 

requirements. On November 29, 2012 

the FAA approved the ClevelandHopkins International Airport noise 

compatibility program. Twelve 

recommendations were granted outright 

approval; six were approved in part; one 

was withdrawn; one was disapproved; 

and one required no action. 

DATES: This notice is effective March 19, 

2013, and is applicable beginning 

December 12, 2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Katherine S. Delaney, 11677 S. Wayne 

Road, Suite 107, Romulus, Michigan; 

Email: Katherine.S.Delaney@faa.gov; 

Phone: 734–229–2900. Documents 

reflecting this FAA action may be 

reviewed at this same location. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA has 

made a determination on each measure 

in the Noise Compatibility Program for 

Cleveland Hopkins International 

Airport, effective November 29, 2012. 

Under section 47504 of the Act, an 

airport operator who has previously 

submitted a Noise Exposure Map may 

submit to the FAA a Noise 

Compatibility Program which sets forth 

the measures taken or proposed by the 

airport operator for the reduction of 

existing non-compatible land uses and 

prevention of additional non-compatible 

land uses within the area covered by the 

Noise Exposure Maps. The Act requires 

such programs to be developed in 

consultation with interested and 

affected parties including local 

communities, government agencies, 

airport users, and FAA personnel. Each 

airport noise compatibility program 

developed in accordance with Part 150 

is a local program, not a Federal 

program. The FAA does not substitute 

its judgment for that of the airport 

proprietor with respect to which 

measures should be recommended for 

action. The FAA’s approval or 

disapproval of Part 150 program 

recommendations is measured 

according to the standards expressed in 

Part 150 and the Act and is limited to 

the following determinations: 

a. The Noise Compatibility Program 

was developed in accordance with the 

provisions and procedures of Part 150; 

b. Program measures are reasonably 

consistent with achieving the goals of 

reducing existing non-compatible land 

uses around the airport and preventing 

the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses; 

c. Program measures would not create 

an undue burden on interstate or foreign 

commerce, unjustly discriminate against 

types or classes of aeronautical uses, 

violate the terms of airport grant 

agreements, or intrude into areas 

preempted by the Federal Government; 

and 

d. Program measures relating to the 

use of flight procedures can be 

implemented within the period covered 

by the program without derogating 

safety, adversely affecting the efficient 

use and management of the navigable 

airspace and air traffic control systems, 

or adversely affecting other powers and 

responsibilities of the Administrator 

prescribed by law. 

Specific limitations with respect to 

FAA’s approval of an airport noise 

compatibility program are delineated in 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 53 / Tuesday, March 19, 2013 / Notices 16911 

Part 150, section 150.5. Approval is not 

a determination concerning the 

acceptability of land uses under Federal, 

state, or local law. Approval does not by 

itself constitute an FAA implementing 

action. A request for Federal action or 

approval to implement specific noise 

compatibility measures may be 

required. Prior to an FAA decision on a 

request to implement the action, an 

environmental review of the proposed 

action may be required. Approval does 

not constitute a commitment by the 

FAA to financially assist in the 

implementation of the program nor a 

determination that all measures covered 

by the program are eligible for grant-inaid funding from the FAA under 

applicable law contained in Title 49 

U.S.C. Where federal funding is sought, 

requests for project grants must be 

submitted to the FAA Airports District 

Office in Romulus, Michigan. 

The Cleveland-Hopkins International 

Airport study contains a proposed noise 

compatibility program comprised of 

actions designed for phased 

implementation by airport management 

and adjacent jurisdictions from 2011 to 

the year 2017. It was requested that the 

FAA evaluate and approve this material 

as a Noise Compatibility Program as 

described in section 47504 of the Act. 

The FAA began its review of the 

program on June 6, 2012 and was 

required by a provision of the Act to 

approve or disapprove the program 

within 180 days (other than the use of 

new or modified flight procedures for 

noise control). Failure to approve or 

disapprove such program within the 

180-day period shall be deemed to be an 

approval of such program. A total of 

twenty-one proposed actions for noise 

abatement, land use planning and 

program management on and off the 

airport were evaluated. The FAA 

completed its review and determined 

that the procedural and substantive 

requirements of the Act and Part 150 

have been satisfied. The overall program 

was approved by the FAA, effective 

November 29, 2012. 

Outright approval was granted for 

twelve specific program measures. The 

measures that were granted outright 

approved were: Continue voluntary 

restriction of run-ups and engine 

maintenance testing as specified in the 

1987 NCP and updated in the 2000 NCP; 

Continue to encourage the use of noise 

abatement departure profiles (NADPs); 

Adopt land use development controls 

and construction standards in the local 

communities surrounding the Airport to 

include those within the 60 dB DNL 

contour; Adopt real estate disclosure 

policies regarding airport noise 

exposure in the local communities 

surrounding the Airport, to include 

those within the 60 dB DNL contour; 

Complete sound insulation of 

residences within the higher levels of 

the Noise Exposure, 65+ DNL; Sound 

insulation program within 60 dB DNL 

contours; Expand capabilities of the 

Airport’s Noise and Operations 

Monitoring System (NOMS) by 

acquiring and installing six new 

permanent noise monitors and more 

fully utilizing the analysis capabilities 

of the current software; Investigate the 

feasibility of a new state-of-the-art 

NOMS system to replace the current 

system in its entirety; Expand the 

content of the Airport’s Quarterly Noise 

Reports; Update the tower’s Standard 

Operating Procedures Manual to reflect 

all FAA-approved NCP measures; Retain 

the current Part 150 working group and 

continue to report on information 

regarding noise issues; and Continue 

periodic updates of the NCP and 

reviews of the NEMs. 

The FAA approved the following 

measures in part: Develop and 

implement new RNAV flight procedures 

for departures from Runways 6L and 6R; 

Develop and implement new RNAV 

flight procedures for departures from 

Runways 24L and 24R; Modify existing 

standard instrument departures (SIDs) 

to reduce early turns after take-off; 

Designate Runway 6R as the preferred 

late night (11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.) 

departure runway; Wind and weather 

permitting, instruct arriving aircraft at 

night (10:00 p.m. to 6:59 a.m. to 

intercept the final approach course to all 

runways no closer than four miles; and 

Update the ‘‘Fly Quiet’’ Communication 

Program. 

The FAA disapproved one measure: 

Encourage the FAA and airlines 

operating at CLE to use optimized 

profile descents (OPDs) between 11:00 

p.m. and 6:00 a.m. for arrivals to 

Runway 6L, 6R, 24L, and 24R. No action 

was taken on one measure: Add a 

minimum turn altitude to initial 

departure clearances. 

The Airport Sponsor requested one 

measure to be withdrawn: Construction 

of enclosed ground run-up facility. 

These determinations are set forth in 

detail in a Record of Approval signed by 

the Great Lakes Airports Division 

Manager on November 29, 2012. The 

Record of Approval, as well as other 

evaluation materials and the documents 

comprising the submittal, are available
