DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice; Receipt of 

Noise Compatibility Program and 

Request for Review; Destin-Ft. Walton 

Beach Airport Destin, FL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the Noise Exposure 

Maps submitted by Okaloosa County for 

Destin-Ft. Walton Beach 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. The FAA also announces 

that it is reviewing a proposed Noise 

Compatibility Program that was 

submitted for Destin-Ft. Walton Beach 

under Part 150 in conjunction with the 

Noise Exposure Map, and that this 

program will be approved or 

disapproved on or before July 13, 2009. 

DATES: Effective Date: 

The effective date of the FAAs 

determination on the Noise Exposure 

Maps and of the start of its review of the 

associated Noise Compatibility Program 

is January 14, 2009. The public 

comment period ends March 15, 2009. 

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. 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 Destin-Ft. Walton Beach Airport are 

in compliance with applicable 

requirements of Part 150, effective 

January 14, 2009. Further, FAA is 

reviewing a proposed Noise 

Compatibility Program for that Airport 

which will be approved or disapproved 

on or before July 13, 2009. This notice 

also announces the availability of this 

Program for public review and 

comment. 

Under 49 U.S.C., Section 47503 (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 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. 

Okaloosa County submitted to the 

FAA on September 5, 2008, Noise 

Exposure Maps, descriptions and other 

documentation that were produced 

during the Destin-Ft. Walton Beach 

Airport Destin/Ft. Walton Beach 

Airport, FAR Part 150 Noise 

Compatibility Study conducted between 

June 2004 and July 2008. It was 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES6

4828 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 27, 2009 / Notices 

requested that the FAA review this 

material as the Noise Exposure Maps, as 

described in Section 47503 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 47504 of the Act. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the Noise Exposure Maps and related 

descriptions submitted by Okaloosa 

County. The specific documentation 

determined to constitute the Noise 

Exposure Maps includes: Table 3–4, 

2008 FAR Part 150 Forecasts; Table 4– 

3, Operational Fleet Mix; Table 4–4, 

2008 Average Daily Operations; Table 

4–5, 2013 Average Daily Operations; 

Table 4–6, Flight Track Utilization; 

Figure 4–2, 2008/2013 Flight Tracks 

Runway 14; 2008/2013 Flight Tracks 

Runway 32; 2008/2013 Flight Tracks 

Touch-and-Go; Figure 4–5, 2008 Official 

Noise Exposure Map; Figure 4–6, 2013 

Official Noise Exposure Map; Table 4– 

9, 2008 Noise Exposure in the Airport 

Environs; Figure 4–7, 2008 Incompatible 

Land Uses; Table 4–10, 2013 Noise 

Exposure in the Airport Environs; and, 

Figure 4–8, 2013 Incompatible Land 

Uses. The FAA has determined that 

these maps for Destin-Ft. Walton Beach 

Airport are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on January 14, 

2009. 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 

14 CFR 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 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 Part 150, that 

the statutorily required consultation has 

been accomplished. 

The FAA has formally received the 

Noise Compatibility Program for DestinFt. Walton Beach Airport, also effective 

on January 14, 2009. 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 13, 2009. 

The FAA’s detailed evaluation will be 

conducted under the provisions of 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:

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: Los 

Angeles County, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of the 

California Department of Transportation 

(Caltrans), is issuing this notice to 

advise the public that a draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be prepared for the proposed New 

State Route 138 project in Los Angeles 

County, California. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Ronald Kosinski, Deputy District 

Director, California Department of 

Transportation District 7 Division of 

Environmental Planning, 100 South 

Main Street, Mail Stop 16A, Los 

Angeles, CA 90012. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective 

July 1, 2007, the FHWA assigned, and 

Caltrans assumed, environmental 

responsibilities for this project pursuant 

to 23 U.S.C. 327. Caltrans as the 

delegated National Policy Act (NEPA) 

lead agency will prepare a draft 

Environmental Impact Statement on a 

proposal to construct a new freeway/ 

expressway within the City of Palmdale, 

Los Angeles County, California. The 

proposed alignment follows the existing 

Avenue P–8 corridor from State Route 

14 to 100th Street for a distance of 

approximately 10 miles. This is part of 

a larger overall plan to construct a new 

freeway/expressway between SR–14 in 

Los Angeles County and I–15 in San 

Bernardino County. 

Improvements to this corridor are 

considered necessary to provide for the 

existing and projected traffic demand 

attributed to large-scale growth and 

increasing developments in the northern 

portion of Los Angeles County, 

especially in the cities of Palmdale and 

Lancaster. In addition, insufficient 

regional access both to and from the 

Palmdale Airport constrains the 

likelihood of future airport expansion. 

The Southern California Association of 

Governments (SCAG) has identified the 

Palmdale Airport as the key component 

in the regional airport system and states 

that by 2025, the airport will play an 

important role in servicing the Northern 

Los Angeles Region as this area 

continues to experience growth. 

Alternatives under consideration 

include (1) ‘‘No-Build’’; (2) Constructing 

a new 4-lane east-west State Route 138 

(SR–138) from State Route 14 (SR–14) to 

50th Street, and then transitioning to a 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES6
