DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice: Receipt of 

Noise Compatibility Program and 

Request for Review 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by Columbus Regional 

Airport Authority for Rickenbacker 

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. The FAA also announces 

that it is reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program that was 

submitted for Rickenbacker 

International Airport under Part 150 in 

conjunction with the noise exposure 

map, and that this program will be 

approved or disapproved on or before 

July 23, 2007. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the 

FAA’s determination on the noise 

exposure maps and of the start of its 

review of the associated noise 

compatibility program is January 25, 

2007. The public comment period ends 

March 25, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Katherine S. Jones, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Detroit Airports District 

Office, 11677 South Wayne Road, Suite 

107, Romulus, Michigan, phone number 

(734) 229–2958. Comments on the 

proposed noise compatibility program 

should also be submitted to the above 

office. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for Rickenbacker International Airport 

are in compliance with applicable 

requirements of Part 150, effective 

January 25, 2007. Further, FAA is 

reviewing a proposed noise 

compatibility program for that airport 

which will be approved or disapproved 

on or before July 23, 2007. 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 

forth the measures the operator has 

taken or proposes to take to reduce 

existing non-compatible uses and 

prevent the introduction of additional 

non-compatible uses. 

Columbus Regional Airport Authority 

submitted to the FAA on December 21, 

2006 noise exposure maps, descriptions 

and other documentation that were 

produced during the Rickenbacker 

International Airport FAR Part 150 

Noise Compatibility Program Update, 

December 2006. 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 Columbus 

Regional Airport Authority. The specific 

documentation determined to constitute 

the noise exposure maps includes: 

Existing (2006) Noise Exposure Map 

(NEM), Future (2011) NEM with Noise 

Compatibility Program (NCP), FAR Part 

150 Noise Compatibility Program 

Update contains the required 

information for Section 47503 and 

section A150.101 including the 

following specific references: Current 

and forecast operations in Appendix J, 

Table 8; fleet mix and nighttime 

operations in Appendix J–Table 8, 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
5486 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 24 / Tuesday, February 6, 2007 / Notices 

Appendix C–Tables C–6, C–7, C–8, and 

C–9; flight patterns in Appendix C–

Exhibits C–5, C–6, C–7, C–8, and C–9, 

and land use in Exhibit 2–3. The FAA 

has determined that these maps for 

Rickenbacker International Airport are 

in compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on January 25, 2007. 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 overlying 

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 

Rickenbacker International Airport, also 

effective on January 25, 2007. 

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 July 23, 2007. 

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 

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:
