Maps submitted by the Gainesville 

Alachua County Regional Airport 

Authority for Gainesville Regional 

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Lindy McDowell, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Orlando Airports 

District Office, 5950 Hazeltine National 

Drive, Suite 400, Orlando, Florida 

32822, 407–812–6331 X130. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted 

for Gainesville Regional Airport are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements of Title 14 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) Part 150, effective 

April 20, 2009. 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 noncompatible 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 Gainesville Alachua 

County Regional Airport Authority. The 

documentation that constitutes the 

‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in 

§ 150.7 of 14 CFR part 150 includes: 

Figure 7–1(A), Existing (2007) Noise 

Contour Map; Figure 7–2(A), Future 

(2012) Noise Contour Map; Table 5–1, 

2007 Operations; Table 5–2, 2007 

Itinerant Operations and Fleet Mix; 

Table 5–3, 2007 Local Operations and 

Fleet Mix, Table 5–4, 2012 Operations; 

Table 5–5, 2012 Itinerant Operations 

and Fleet Mix; Table 5–6, 2012 Local 

Operations and Fleet Mix; Figure 5–1, 

East Flow Corridors 2007, 2012 & 2027; 

Figure 5–2, West Flow Corridors 2007, 

2012 & 2027; Figure 5–3, Helicopter 

Corridors 2007, 2012 & 2027; Composite 

Corridors 2007, 2012 & 2027; Table 5– 

9, Itinerant Departure Track Use 

Percentages; Table 5–11, Local Track 

Use Percentages; Table 5–12, Rotorcraft 

Arrival Track Use Percentages; Table 5– 

13, Rotorcraft Arrival Track Use 

Percentages; Table 6–1; 2007 Noise 

Contour Surface Areas; Table 6–2, 2012 

Noise Contour Surface Areas; Figure 6– 

1, 2007 Noise Contour Map; Figure 6– 

2, 2012 Noise Contour Map; Table 7–3, 

2007 Noise Exposure Contour 

Population Summary; and Table 7–4, 

2012 Noise Exposure Contour 

Population Summary. The FAA has 

determined that these Noise Exposure 

Maps and accompanying documentation 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on April 20, 2009. 

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 § 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:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FM finds that 

the noise exposure maps submitted for 

Syracuse Hancock International Airport 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements of 14 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) Part 150 (hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘Part 150’’), effective April 

21, 2009. Under 49 U.S.C. 47503 of the 

Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement 

Act (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 83 / Friday, May 1, 2009 / Notices 20359 

Act’’), an airport operator may submit to 

the FAA noise exposure maps which 

meet applicable regulations and which 

depict noncompatible 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

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 City of Syracuse. The 

documentation that constitutes the 

‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in 

§ 150.7 of Part 150 includes: Figures 

‘‘2007 Noise Exposure Map’’ and Figure 

6 ‘‘2012 Noise Exposure Map’’. The 

FAA has determined that these noise 

exposure maps and accompanying 

documentation are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on April 10, 

2009. 

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

that submitted those maps, or with 

those public agencies and planning 

agencies with which consultation is
