Federal Aviation Administration

Noise Exposure Map Notice, Receipt of

Noise Compatibility Program and

Request for Review; Austin Straubel

International Airport, Green Bay, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) announces its

determination that the noise exposure

maps submitted by Brown County for

Austin Straubel International Airport

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. The FAA also

announces that it is reviewing a

proposed noise compatibility program

that was submitted for Austin Straubel

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 19, 1995.

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 20,

1995. The public comment period ends

March 21, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

William J. Flanagan, Federal Aviation

Administration, Airports District Office,

room 102, 6020 28th Avenue South,

Minneapolis, Minnesota 55450, (612)

725–4463. 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 Austin Straubel International Airport

are in compliance with applicable

requirements of part 150, effective

January 20, 1995. Further, FAA is

reviewing a proposed noise

compatibility program for that airport

which will be approved or disapproved

on or before July 19, 1995. This notice

also announces the availability of this

program for public review and

comment.

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

which meet applicable regulations and

which depict noncompatible 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 title I of the

Act, may submit a noise compatibility

program for FAA approval which sets

forth the measures the operator has

taken or proposes for the reduction of

existing noncompatible uses and for the

prevention of the introduction of

additional noncompatible uses.

Brown County submitted to the FAA

on July 28, 1993, noise exposure maps,

descriptions and other documentation

which were produced during the FAR

part 150 Noise compatibility Study from

July 1991 to November 1994. It was

requested that the FAA review this

material as the noise exposure maps, as

described in section 103(a)(1) 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 104(b) of the Act.

The FAA has completed its review of

the noise exposure maps and related

descriptions submitted by Brown

County. The specific maps under

consideration are the 1992 existing

Noise Exposure Map and the 1997

future Noise Exposure Map. The FAA

has determined that these maps for

Austin Straubel International Airport

are in compliance with applicable

requirements. This determination in

effective on January 20, 1995. 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

prices relationship of specific properties

to noise exposure contours depicted on

a noise exposure map 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 exposure 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

detail overlaying of noise exposure

contours onto the map depicting

properties on the surface rests

exclusively with the airport operator

who 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 section

150.21 of FAR part 150, that the

statutory required consultation has been

accomplished.

The FAA has formally received the

noise compatibility program for Austin

Straubel International Airport, also

effective on January 20, 1995.

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 19, 1995.

The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be

conducted under the provisions of 14

CFR part 150, § 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 noncompatible land

uses and preventing the introduction of

additional noncompatible land uses.

Inerested 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

reexamination at the following

Change #2 to FAA P–8110–2, Airship

Design Criteria (ADC)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

availability of Change #2 to FAA P–

8110–2, Airship Design Criteria (ADC)

dated November 2, 1987. This change

adds the requirements for fly-by-light

control systems. Two new paragraphs

have been added to the ADC that cover

concerns related to optical couplings

and optical degradation. The

requirements for a control system not

directly (mechanically) connected to the

control surface are applicable to both

fly-by-wire and fly-by-light. The fiber

optics used in fly-by-light systems,

though immune to some of the problems

associated with fly-by-wire systems,

have their own set of problems. Those

problems are addressed in this change.
