Noise Exposure Map Notice; Gerald R.

Ford International Airport, Grand

Rapids, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

4052 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 17, 2001 / Notices

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) announces its

determination that the noise exposure

maps submitted by Kent County

Department of Aeronautics for Gerald R.

Ford International Airport, Grand

Rapids, Michigan under the provisions

of Title I of the Aviation Safety and

Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (Public

Law 96–193) and 14 CFR Part 150 are

in compliance with applicable

requirements.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the

FAA’s determination on the noise

exposure maps is December 27, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ernest P. Gubry, Willow Run Airport,

East, 8820 Beck Road Belleville, MI,

48111, (734) 487–7280.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice announces that the FAA finds

that the noise exposure maps submitted

for Gerald R. Ford International Airport,

Grand Rapids, MI are in compliance

with applicable requirements of Part

150, effective December 27, 2000.

Under section 103 of the Aviation

Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979

(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 Title I of the

Act, may submit a noise compatibility

program for FAA approval which sets

forth the measures the operator has

taken or proposes for the reduction of

existing non-compatible uses and for the

prevention of the introduction of

additional non-compatible uses. The

FAA has completed its review of the

noise exposure maps and related

descriptions submitted by Kent County

Department of Aeronautics. The specific

maps under consideration are Figure 6–

1, ‘‘2000 Noise Exposure Map’’, and

Figure 6–2 ‘‘2005 Noise Exposure Map’’

noise map in Volume 1 of 3 of the

submission. The FAA has determined

that these maps for Gerald R. Ford

International Airport, Grand Rapids,

Michigan are in compliance with

applicable requirements. This

determination is effective on December

27, 2000. 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 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 103 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 107 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 which submitted those

maps, or with those public agencies and

planning agencies with which

consultation is required under section

103 of the Act. The FAA has relied on

the certification by the airport.

Questions may be directed to the

individual named above under the

heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT.

December 27, 2000.
