Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Compatibility Program Revision 

Notice; Austin, TX 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

findings on the Noise Compatibility 

Program revision submitted by the city 

of Austin 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 April 5 and 

May 8, 2000, The FAA determined that 

the noise exposure maps submitted by 

the city of Austin under part 150 

complied with applicable requirements. 

On August 5, 2005, the FAA approved 

a revision to the Austin-Bergstrom 

International Airport Noise 

Compatibility Program. The program 

measure in this revision was fully 

approved. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the 

FAA’s approval of the Austin-Bergstrom 

International Airport Noise 

Compatibility Program revision is 

August 5, 2005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Paul Blackford, Environmental

Administration, Texas Airports 

Development Office, ASW–650, 2601 

Meacham Boulevard, Fort Worth, Texas 

76193–0650. Telephone (817) 222–5607. 

Documents reflecting this FAA action 

may be reviewed at this same location. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA has 

given its overall approval to the Noise 

Compatibility Program revision for 

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, 

effective August 5, 2005. 

Under section 47504 of the Act, an 

airport operator who has previously 

submitted a noise exposure 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’s 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, section 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. 

The city of Austin submitted to the 

FAA on April 5, 1999, the noise 

exposure maps, descriptions, and other 

documentation produced during the 

noise compatibility planning study 

conducted from August 1998 through 

March 1999. Subsequently, the city 

submitted a revised 2004 noise exposure 

map, which the FAA approved on May 

8, 2000. The Austin-Bergstrom 

International Airport’s noise exposure 

maps were determined by FAA to be in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements on April 5, 1999 and May 

8, 2000. Notices of these determinations 

were published in the Federal Register 

on April 20, 1999 and May 25, 2000, 

respectively. 

The Austin-Bergstrom International 

Airport study contains a proposed Noise 

Compatibility Program revision 

comprised of actions designed for 

phased implementation by airport 

management and adjacent jurisdictions. 

It was requested that the FAA evaluate 

and approve this material as a Noise 

Compatibility Program revision as 

described in section 47504 of the Act. 

The FAA began its review of the 

program revision on February 11, 2005, 

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 an approval of such program. 

The submitted program revision 

contained one (1) proposed action for 

noise mitigation off the airport. The 

FAA completed its review and 

determined that the procedural land 

substantive requirements of the Act and 

FAR Part 150 have been satisfied. The 

overall program revision, therefore, was 

approved by the FAA effective August 

5, 2005. 

Outright approval was granted for the 

one (1) specific program measure. 

Approved action elements included a 

land use mitigation measure involving a 

land acquisition program and a sound 

insulation program. These 

determinations are set forth in detail in 

a Record of Approval signed by the 

Associate Administrator for Airports, 

ARP–1, on August 5, 2005. 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 the 

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. 

The Record of Approval also will be 

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

arp/environmental/14cfr150/
