Notice of Receipt and Request for Review of Noise Compatibility 
Program

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is 
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for 
Teterboro Airport by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. 
This program was submitted subsequent to a determination by FAA that 
associated noise exposure maps submitted for Teterboro Airport were in 
compliance with applicable requirements, effective June 15, 2017. The 
proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or disapproved on 
or before January 11, 2023. This notice also announces the availability 
of this noise compatibility program for public review and comment.

DATES: The effective date of start of FAA's review of the noise 
compatibility program is July 15, 2022. The public comment period ends 
September 13, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew Brooks, Regional Environmental 
Program Manager, Airports Division, Federal Aviation Administration, 1 
Aviation Plaza, Room 516, Jamaica, NY 11434. Phone Number: 718-553-
2511. Comments on the proposed noise compatibility program should also 
be submitted to the above office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA is 
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program (NCP) for Teterboro 
Airport which will be approved or disapproved on or before January 11, 
2023. This notice also announces the availability of this program for 
public review and comment.
    An airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps (NEM) 
that are found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of 
title 49, United States Code (U.S.C.) (Aviation Safety and Noise 
Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'') and Title 14, 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150 (14 CFR 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 non-compatible uses and prevent the 
introduction of additional non-compatible uses. The FAA previously 
determined that the NEMs for Teterboro Airport were in compliance with 
applicable requirements under 14 CFR 150, effective June 15, 2017 
(Noise Exposure Map Notice for Teterboro Airport, Teterboro, New 
Jersey, volume 82, Federal Register, pages 28545-6, June 22, 2017).
    The FAA has formally received the NCP for Teterboro Airport on July 
7, 2022. The airport operator has requested that the FAA review this 
material and that the noise mitigation measures, to be implemented 
jointly by the airport and surrounding communities, be approved as a 
NCP under section 47504 of the Act. Preliminary review of the submitted 
material indicates that it conforms to the requirements for the 
submittal of NCPs, but that further review will be necessary prior to 
approval or disapproval of the program for Teterboro Airport. The 
formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, was 
initiated on July 15, 2022 and will be completed on or before January 
11, 2023.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the 
provisions of 14 CFR 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 proposed 
NCP for Teterboro Airport are available for examination online at 
http://panynjpart150.com/TEB_FNCP.asp.
    The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has also made a hard 
copy of the document available for review at the Office of the General 
Manager for Teterboro Airport, located at 90 Moonachie Avenue, 
Teterboro, New Jersey. Interested parties can contact the office at

    Questions regarding this notice may be directed to the individual 
named above under the heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Issued in Jamaica, NY, on July 15, 2022.
