will comply with local zoning and 

compatible land-use requirements. The 

other parcel was already sold to acquire 

noise compatibility land. The acquired 

land will remain undeveloped, but will 

still provide March Inland Port with 

revenue, which will be derived from the 

sale of multi-species habitat mitigation 

credits. The release will provide 

tangible benefits to the airport and serve 

the interest of civil aviation.

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice for Fresno 

Yosemite International Airport, Fresno, 

CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by the City of Fresno 

for Fresno Yosemite International 

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.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the 

FAA’s determination on the noise 

exposure maps is July 6, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Camille Garibaldi, Environmental 

Protection Specialist, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Western Pacific Region, 

San Francisco Airports District Office, 

831 Mitten Road, Suite 210, Burlingame, 

California 94010, Telephone: (650) 876–

2778, extension 613.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for Fresno Yosemite International 

Airport and supplemental information 

dated April 20, 2005, are in compliance 

with applicable requirements of part 

150, effective July 6, 2005. Under 49 

U.S.C. section 47503 of 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 FAA has completed its review of 

the noise exposure maps and 

accompanying documentation 

submitted by City of Fresno, California. 

The documentation that constitutes the 

‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in 

section 150.7 of part 150 includes: 

Figure 27 ‘‘2004 Existing Conditions 

CNEL Contour,’’ and Figure 28 ‘‘2009 

Five-Year Forecast Conditions CNEL 

Contours.’’ 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, open space, commercial/

office, community facilities, libraries, 

churches, open space, infrastructure, 

vacant and warehouse 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 2004 are shown in Table 35. 

Estimates of the future residential 

population within the 2009 noise 

contours are shown in Table 36. Figure 

11 displays the location of noise 

monitoring sites. Flight tracks for the 

existing and the five-year forecast Noise 

Exposure Maps are found in Figures 32, 

33, 34, 35, 36 and 37. The type and 

frequency of aircraft operations 

(including nighttime operations) for the 

year 2004 are found in Tables 10, 11, 12, 

13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19. The type 

and frequency of aircraft operations 

(including nighttime operations) for the 

year 2009 are found in Tables 20, 21, 22, 

23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29. The FAA 

has determined that these noise 

exposure maps and accompanying 

documentation are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on July 6, 

2005.

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 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. 

Copies of the full noise exposure map 

documentation and of the FAA’s 

evaluation of the maps are available for 

examination at the following locations:

progress in implementing and 

completing project activities. FTA also 

collects grantee performance 

information annually. This collection 

activity is performed by a Web-based 

contractor, who electronically collects 

the grantee information and develops 

JARC information tables as needed. The

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimate of the burden 

of the proposed information collection; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or

Management Program (DIMP) team will 

develop information that PHMSA can 

consider in any subsequent rulemaking 

effort. The Phase 1 program involves 

work/study groups comprised of 

representatives of state pipeline safety 

regulators, the gas distribution industry, 

the public, and PHMSA. The 

preliminary agenda for this meeting 

includes briefings on the following 

topics: 

• The need for improvement; 

• Distinctions among gas distribution 

pipeline systems; 

• Comments from the team of 

executives (industry, state regulators, 

and public) providing oversight of the 

Phase 1 program; 

• The plan and process of the Phase 

1 program; (including use of EFV as a 

technique for mitigating the 

consequences of service line incidents.) 

• Major issues and approaches, 

including preliminary Phase 1 

conclusions; 

• Issues and cautions that must be 

considered in developing distribution 

integrity management requirements; and 

• The views of industry and other 

stakeholders.
