Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Compatibility Program Notice; 

San Antonio International Airport; San 

Antonio, Texas 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

findings on the noise compatibility 

program submitted by San Antonio 

International Airport under the 

provisions of 49 U.S.C. (the Aviation 

Safety and Noise Abatement Act, 

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

14 CFR part 150. These findings are 

made in recognition of the description 

of Federal and nonfederal 

responsibilities in Senate Report No. 

96–52 (1980). On December 29, 2014, 

the FAA determined that the noise 

exposure maps submitted by San 

Antonio International Airport under 

part 150 were in compliance with 

applicable requirements. On June 2, 

2015, the FAA approved the San 

Antonio International Airport noise 

compatibility program. Both of the 

recommendations of the program were 

approved. 

DATES: The effective date of the FAA’s 

approval of the San Antonio 

International Airport noise 

compatibility program is June 2, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

DOT/FAA Southwest Region, John 

MacFarlane, ASW652–B, 10101 

Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, Texas 

76177. Telephone (817) 222–5681. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA has 

given its overall approval to the noise 

compatibility program for San Antonio 

International Airport, effective June 2, 

2015. 

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 

Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) 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 FAR 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 FAR 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 

FAR part 150, § 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, and an FAA decision on the 

request may require an environmental 

assessment of the proposed action. 

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-in-aid funding from the 

FAA. Where federal funding is sought, 

requests for project grants must be 

submitted to the FAA Regional Office in 

Fort Worth, Texas. 

San Antonio International Airport 

submitted to the FAA on December 17, 

2014 the noise exposure maps, 

descriptions, and other documentation 

produced during the noise compatibility 

planning study conducted from May 14, 

2014 through December 17, 2014. The 

San Antonio International Airport noise 

exposure maps were determined by 

FAA to be in compliance with 

applicable requirements on December 

29, 2014. Notice of this determination 

was published in the Federal Register 

on January 22, 2015. 

The San Antonio International 

Airport study contains a proposed noise 

compatibility program comprised of 

actions designed for phased 

implementation by airport management 

and adjacent jurisdictions from 

December 2014 to the year 2019. 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 

January 12, 2015 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. 

The submitted program contained two 

proposed actions for noise mitigation off 

the airport. The FAA completed its 


asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 124 / Tuesday, June 28, 2016 / Notices 42035 

review and determined that the 

procedural and substantive 

requirements of the Act and FAR part 

150 have been satisfied. The overall 

program, therefore, was approved by the 

FAA effective June 2, 2015. 

Outright approval was granted for 

both of the specific program elements. 

San Antonio International Airport 

intends to continue acoustical treatment 

for noise-sensitive facilities, e.g., 

residences, schools and places of 

worship, that are located in areas 

exposed to aircraft noise of DNL 65 dB 

and higher based on the FAA-accepted 

and current noise exposure map on file 

with the FAA and not necessarily tied 

specifically to the 2014 Noise Exposure 

Map. 

These determinations are set forth in 

detail in a Record of Approval signed by 

the FAA Southwest Region Airports 

Division Manager on June 2, 2015. The 

Record of Approval, as well as other 

evaluation materials and the documents 

comprising the submittal, are available 

for review at the FAA office listed above 

and at the administrative offices of San 

Antonio International Airport. The 

Record of Approval also will be 

available on-line at https://www.faa.gov/ 

airports/environmental/airport_noise/

part_150/states/tx/media/roa-texas-sanantonio-20150602.pdf.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, 

FMCSA may grant an exemption from 

the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations for a 2-year period if it finds 

‘‘such exemption would likely achieve a 

level of safety that is equivalent to or 

greater than the level that would be 

achieved absent such exemption.’’ The 

statute also allows the Agency to renew 

exemptions at the end of the 2-year 

period. The 57 individuals listed in this 

notice have recently requested such an 

exemption from the diabetes prohibition 

in 49 CFR 391.41(b) (3), which applies 

to drivers of CMVs in interstate 

commerce. Accordingly, the Agency 

will evaluate the qualifications of each 

applicant to determine whether granting 

the exemption will achieve the required 

level of safety mandated by statute.
