DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Noise Exposure Map Notice 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces its 

determination that the noise exposure 

maps submitted by Ohio State 

University for Ohio State University 

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 June 24, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Ernest Gubry, Detroit Airports District 

Office, 11677 South Wayne Road, Suite 

107, Romulus, Michigan 48174, 734– 

229–2905. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that the FAA finds 

that the noise exposure maps submitted 

for Ohio State University Airport are in 

compliance with applicable 

requirements of Part 150, effective June 

24, 2009. Under 49 U.S.C. Section 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 

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 

Regulation (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 non-compatible uses 

and prevent the introduction of 

additional non-compatible uses. 

The FAA has completed its review of 

the noise exposure maps and 

accompanying documentation 

submitted by Ohio State University. The 

documentation that constitutes the 

‘‘noise exposure maps’’ as defined in 14 

CFR 50.7 includes: Existing 2008 Noise 

Exposure Map (FAR Part 150 Noise 

Compatibility Study Update Final Noise 

Exposure Map Report, Figure 6–1) and 

Future 2013 Noise Exposure Map (FAR 

Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study 

Update Final Noise Exposure Map 

Report, Figure D6–2, refer also to FAR 

Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study 

Update Final Noise Exposure Map 

Report CD–Rom Map A and Map B). The 

FAA has determined that these noise 

exposure maps and accompanying 

documentation are in compliance with 

applicable requirements. This 

determination is effective on June 24, 

2009. 

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: An agency 

that has acquired property or services 

from a business concern and has failed 

to pay for the complete delivery of 

property or service by the required 

payment date shall pay the business 

concern an interest penalty. 31 U.S.C. 

3902(a). The Contract Disputes Act of 

1978, Section 12, Public Law 95–563, 92 

Stat. 2389, and the Prompt Payment Act 

of 1982, 31 U.S.C. 3902(a), provide for 

the calculation of interest due on claims 

at the rate established by the Secretary 

of the Treasury. 

The Secretary of the Treasury has the 

authority to specify the rate by which 

the interest shall be computed for 

interest payments under section 12 of 

the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 and 

under the Prompt Payment Act. 

Agencies must pay the interest penalty 

calculated with the interest rate, which 

is in effect at the time the agency 

accrues the obligation to pay a late 

payment interest penalty. Id. ‘‘The 

interest penalty shall be paid for the 

period beginning on the day after the 

required payment date and ending on 

the date on which the payment is 

made.’’ 31 U.S.C. 3902(b). Under the 

Prompt Payment Act, if an interest 

penalty is owed to a business concern, 

the penalty shall be paid regardless of 

whether the business concern requested 

payment of interest. 

Therefore, notice is given that the 

Secretary of the Treasury has 

determined that the rate of interest 

applicable for the period beginning July 

1, 2009, and ending on December 31, 

2009, is 47⁄8 per centum per annum.
