Federal Aviation Administration

Baltimore/Washington International

Airport, Baltimore, Maryland; Noise

Exposure Map Notice

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) announces its

determination that the revised noise

exposure maps submitted by the

Maryland Aviation Administration

(MAA) for the Baltimore/Washington

International Airport (BWI) under the

provisions of Title I of the Aviation

Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979

(Pub. L. 96–193) 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 February 7, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Frank Squeglia, Environmental

Specialist, FAA—Eastern Region Office,

Airports Division, AEA–610, Fitzgerald

Federal Building, JFK Int’l Airport,

Jamaica, NY 11430, (718), 553–0798.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice announces that the FAA finds

that the revised noise exposure maps

submitted for the BWI Airport are in

compliance with applicable

requirements of FAR part 150, effective

February 7, 1995.

Under Section 103 of Title I of the

Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement

Act of 1979 (hereinafter referred to as

‘‘the Act’’), an airport operator may

submit to the FAA noise exposure maps

(or revisions thereto) which meet

applicable regulations and which depict

noncompatible land uses (or new

noncompatible land uses) as of the date

of submission of such maps, a

description of projected aircraft

operations, and the way 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.

The Maryland Aviation

Administration submitted to the FAA

on December 23, 1994, supplemental

FAR part 150 documentation supporting

a recent update of the Noise Exposure

Maps (NEM’s) at BWI. It was requested

that the FAA review this material for

compliance with part 150 regarding

updates to noise exposure maps, as

described in Section 103(a)(2) of the

Act.

BWI received notification of FAA

acceptance of its NEMs in December

1989, and approval of its Noise

Compatibility Program in July 1990. A

1993 update of the BWI Airport Noise

Zone has led to a revised set of noise

contours. These revised contours also

serve as the basis for revised Maps and

the Volume V document, with

appendices, constitutes supplemental

information submitted by MAA to

update the NEM’s in accordance with

FAR part 150 requirements. In addition

to complying with requirements for

NEM updates, MAA’s request for FAA

acceptance of the updated NEM’s will

insure an accurate depiction of noise

sensitive land uses included in the NCP

approved by the FAA in 1990.

The FAA has completed its review of

the updated noise exposure maps and

related documentation submitted by

MAA in its December 1994 Volume V

Supplemental document. The specific

maps under consideration are the

NEM’s: Figure 2.1 Existing Conditions

(1991) Noise Exposure Map (page 8) and

Figure 2.2 Five Year Forecast (1998)

Noise Exposure Map (page 9) of the

Volume V Supplement.

The FAA has determined that these

updated maps for BWI are in

compliance with applicable

requirements. This determination is

effective on February 7, 1995. FAA’s

determination on an airport operator’s

noise exposure maps is limited to

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 for future approval of 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 maps

submitted under Section 103 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

maps to resolve questions concerning,

for example, which properties should be

covered by the provisions of Section 107

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 maps depicting

properties on the surface rests

exclusively with the airport operator

which submitted those maps or with

those public agencies and planning

agencies with which consultation is

required under Section 103 of the Act.

The FAA has relied on the certification

by the airport operator under § 150.21 of

FAR part 150, that the statutorily

required consultation has been

accomplished.

Copies of the updated NEM’s

associated evaluation material and the

Supplemental Document comprising the

submittal are available for review at the

FAA office listed above and at the

administrative offices of the BWI

Airport.

Issued in Jamaica, New York, on February

22, 1995.
