SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for Van Nuys Airport are in compliance 

with applicable requirements of Part 

150, effective April 20, 2009. Further, 

FAA is reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program for that airport 

which will be approved or disapproved 

on or before October 16, 2009. 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, hereinafter referred to as ‘‘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 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 take to reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The City of Los Angeles submitted to 

the FAA on December 5, 2008, noise 

exposure maps, descriptions and other 

documentation that were produced 

during the Van Nuys Airport Part 150 

Study December 1, 1988 to December 5, 

2008. 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. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the noise exposure maps and related 

descriptions submitted by the City of 

Los Angeles. The specific 

documentation determined to constitute 

the noise exposure maps includes: 

Exhibit #1 ‘‘Official Noise Exposure 

Map Existing Conditions—2001’’ and 

Exhibit #3 ‘‘Official Noise Exposure 

Map Future Conditions—2006 With 

Mitigation Measures.’’ The Noise 

Exposure Maps contain current and 

forecast information including the 

depiction of the airport and its 

boundaries, the runway configurations, 

land uses such as residential, 

commercial, industrial, community 

facilities, libraries, schools, churches, 

open space, hospitals, landmarks, and 

those areas within the Community 

Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) 65, 70 

and 75 noise contours. Estimates for the 

number of people within these contours 

for the year 2001 are shown in Exhibit 

1. Estimates of the future residential 

population within the 2006 noise 

contours are shown in Exhibit 3. Flight 

tracks for the existing and the five-year 

forecast Noise Exposure Maps are found 

in Exhibits 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. The 

type and frequency of aircraft operations 

(including nighttime operations) are 

found in Table 4. The FAA has 

determined that these maps for Van 

Nuys Airport are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on April 20, 

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 

FAR Part 150. Such determination does 

not constitute approval of the 

applicant’s data, information or plans, 

or constitute 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 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 FAR Part 150, 

that the statutorily required consultation 

has been accomplished. 

The FAA has formally received the 

noise compatibility program for Van 

Nuys Airport, also effective on April 20, 

2009. 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 October 16, 

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 

20098 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 82 / Thursday, April 30, 2009 / Notices 

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, the FAA’s evaluation of 

the maps, and the proposed noise 

compatibility program are available for 

examination at the following locations:
