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:
