DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice for 

Meadows Field Airport, Bakersfield, 

California 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by County of Kern, 

California for Meadows Field 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 January 16, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Victor Globa, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Los Angeles Airports 

District Office, P.O. Box 92007, Los 

Angeles, California 90009–2007, 

Telephone: 310/725–3637. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for Meadows Field Airport are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements of Part 150, effective 

January 16, 2008. Under 49 U.S.C. 

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 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
9402 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 34 / Wednesday, February 20, 2008 / Notices 

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 County of Kern, California. 

The documentation that constitutes the 

‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in 

section 150.7 of Part 150 includes: 

Exhibit 1 ‘‘Existing Conditions (2005) 

Noise Exposure Map,’’ and Exhibit 2 

‘‘Five-Year Forecast (2010) Noise 

Exposure Map.’’ 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, infrastructure, vacant and 

warehouse and those areas within the 

Community Noise Equivalent Level 

(CNEL) 60, 65, 70 and 75 noise 

contours. Estimates for the number of 

people within these contours for the 

year 2005 are shown in Table 4B. 

Estimates of the future residential 

population within the 2007 noise 

contours are shown in Table 4D. Flight 

tracks for the existing and the five-year 

forecast Noise Exposure Maps are found 

in Exhibits 3D, 3E, 3F and 3G. The type 

and frequency of aircraft operations 

(including nighttime operations) are 

found in Tables 3B and 3C. The FAA 

has determined that these noise 

exposure maps and accompanying 

documentation are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on January 16, 

2008. 

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:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The need 

to address traffic conflicts within the 

Ligonier central business district still 

exists and the Pennsylvania Department 

of Transportation, District 12–0, intends 

to continue to address traffic 

compatibility with the community 

through a series of transportation system 

management implementation strategies. 

These strategies include, but are not 

limited to, advanced warning signs, 

speed limit enforcement, and pavement 

markings. Furthermore, PennDOT 

District 12–0 has already completed a 

signing and pavement marking project 

in the Ligonier Diamond area to 

improve pedestrian safety and facilitate 

truck and automobile traffic movements. 

PennDOT will also recommend a 

Pedestrian Safety Program and will 

provide information to the borough on 

how to apply for a Safer Routes to 

School project.
