collection. The collection involves information on voluntary airport 
noise compatibility programs. The information to be collected is 
necessary because noise compatibility program measures are eligible for

voluntarily submit noise exposure maps and noise compatibility programs 
to the FAA for review and approval.

for OMB's approval to renew this information collection should be sent 
within 30 days of publication of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information collection by selecting

this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)

    Title: Airport Noise Compatibility Planning.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an Information Collection.
    Background: The voluntarily submitted information from the 
collection process pursuant to Tile 14 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR) part 150, (e.g., airport noise exposure maps and airport noise 
compatibility programs, or their revisions) is used by the FAA to 
conduct reviews of the submissions to determine if an airport sponsor's 
noise compatibility program is eligible for Federal grant funds. If 
airport sponsors did not voluntarily submit noise exposure maps and 
noise compatibility programs for FAA review and approval, the airport 
sponsor would not be eligible for the set aside of discretionary grant 
funds. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day review period 
soliciting comments on this information collection of information was 
published in the Federal Register on April 9, 2021 (86 FR 18586) and no 
public comments were received.
