This notice announces that the FAA finds that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted for the Reno/Tahoe International Airport, Reno, Nevada are in compliance with applicable requirements of Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 150, effective November 15, 2001.
An airport operator who has submitted Noise Exposure Maps that are found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of FAR Part 150, promulgated pursuant to Title I of the Act, may submit a Noise Compatibility Program for FAA approval which sets forth the measures the operator has taken or proposes for the reduction of existing noncompatible uses and for the prevention of the in introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
The FAA has completed its review of the Noise Exposure Maps and supporting documentation submitted by the Airport Authority of Washoe County. The specific maps under consideration are Exhibit 1, “2000 Noise Exposure Map” and Exhibit 2, “2005 Noise Exposure Map” in the submission. The FAA has determined that these maps for the Reno/Tahoe International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on November 15, 2001. FAA's acceptance of 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 acceptance 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 103 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 107 of the Act. Start Printed Page 59299These 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 FAR part 150 or through FAA's review of the 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 which submitted those maps, or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which consultation is required under section 103 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.
