Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice, Key West 

International Airport, Key West, FL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the Noise Exposure 

Maps submitted by Monroe County for 

Key West 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. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date 

of the FAA’s determination on the noise 

exposure maps is August 27, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Lindy McDowell, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Orlando Airports 

District Office, 5950 Hazeltine National 

Drive, Suite 400, Orlando, Florida 

32822, 407–812–6331 extension 130. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted 

for Key West International Airport are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements of Federal Aviation 

Regulation (FAR) Part 150, effective 

August 27, 2008. Under 49 U.S.C. 

section 47503 of the Aviation Safety and 

Noise Abatement Act (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 FAR Part 150, 

promulgated pursuant to the Act, may 

submit a Noise Compatibility Program 

for FAA approval which sets forth the 

measures the airport operator has taken 

or proposes to take to reduce existing 

non-compatible 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 Monroe County. The 

documentation that constitutes the 

‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in 

Section 150.7 of FAR Part 150 includes:

The FAA has determined that these 

Noise Exposure Maps and 

accompanying documentation are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. This determination is 

effective on August 27, 2008. 

FAA’s determination on the 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 airport 

operator’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 exposure 

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 FAR 

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 

Maps documentation and of the FAA’s 

evaluation of the maps are available for 

examination at the following locations:

Federal Aviation Administration 

Receipt of Noise Compatibility 

Program and Request for Review; 

Mobile Regional Airport, Mobile, AL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces that it 

is reviewing a proposed amendment to 

the Noise Compatibility Program that 

was submitted for Mobile Regional 

Airport under the provisions of 49 

U.S.C. 47504 et seq. (the Aviation Safety 

and Noise Abatement Act hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘the Act’’) and 14 CFR 

Part 150 by the Mobile Airport 

Authority. This program was submitted 

subsequent to a determination by FAA 

that the associated Noise Exposure 

Maps submitted under 14 CFR Part 150 

for Mobile Regional Airport were in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements effective May 1, 2006, and 

was published in the Federal Register 

on May 18, 2006. The proposed 

amendment to the Noise Compatibility 

Program will be approved or 

disapproved on or before February 21, 

2009. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date 

of the start of FAA’s review of the 

amendment to the noise compatibility 

program is August 29, 2008. The public 

comment period ends October 29, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

William Schuller, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Jackson Airports 

District Office, 100 West Cross Street, 

Jackson, Mississippi 39208, 601 664– 

9883. Comments on the proposed 

amendment to the noise compatibility 

program should also be submitted to the 

above office. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA is 

reviewing a proposed amendment to the 

Noise Compatibility Program for Mobile 

Regional Airport which will be 

approved or disapproved on or before 

February 21, 2009. This notice also 

announces the availability of this 

amendment for public review and 

comment. 

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 reduce existing noncompatible uses and prevent the 

introduction of additional noncompatible uses. 

The FAA previously approved the 

Noise Compatability Program for Mobile 

Regional Airport. The FAA has formally 

received the amendment to the Noise 

Compatibility Program for Mobile 

Regional Airport, effective on August 

29, 2008. The airport operator has 

requested that the FAA review this 

material and that the amended noise 

mitigation measures, to be implemented 

jointly by the airport and surrounding 

communities, be approved as part of the 

Noise Compatibility Program under 

section 47504 of the Act. Preliminary 

review of the submitted material 

indicates that the amendment 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 February 21, 

2009. 

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 or create an undue 

burden on interstate or foreign 

commerce, and whether they are 

reasonably consistent with obtaining the 

goal of reducing existing noncompatible land uses and preventing the 

introduction of additional noncompatible land uses. 

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on the proposed program 

amendment with specific reference to
