Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review; 
Kissimmee Gateway Airport, Kissimmee, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is 
reviewing a proposed Noise Compatibility Program that was submitted for 
Kissimmee Gateway 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 City of Kissimmee. This 
program was submitted subsequent to a determination by FAA that the 
associated Noise Exposure Maps submitted under 14 CFR Part 150 for 
Kissimmee Gateway Airport were in compliance with applicable 
requirements effective 12/11/09, and was published in the Federal 
Register on 12/29/09. The proposed Noise Compatibility Program will be 
approved or disapproved on or before September 27, 2011.

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the start of FAA's review 
of the associated Noise Compatibility Program is April 1, 2011. The 
public comment period ends May 30, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Allan Nagy, 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 is 
reviewing a proposed Noise Compatibility Program for Kissimmee Gateway 
Airport which will be approved or disapproved on or before September 
27, 2011. This notice also announces the availability of this program 
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 Title 14 Code 
of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150, 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 has formally received the Noise Compatibility Program for 
Kissimmee Gateway Airport, effective on April 1, 2011. 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 Noise Compatibility Program 
under Section 47504 of the Act. 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 September 27, 2011.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the 
provisions of 14 CFR Part 150, Sec.  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 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 relating to 
these factors, 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: Federal Aviation 
Administration, Orlando Airports District Office, 5950 Hazeltine 
National Drive, Suite 400, Orlando, Florida 32822.
    Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the 
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Issued in Orlando, Florida, on March 28, 2011.

Acting Manager, Orlando Airports District Office.
