On April 20, 1999, FAA published its approval of noise exposure maps for the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in the Federal Register. On April 10, 2000, the City of Austin submitted a new 2004 noise exposure map. The FAA has completed its review of the 2004 the noise exposure maps and related descriptions submitted by City of Austin. The specific map under consideration is 2004 Future Condition Noise Exposure Map, Figure 10-1 in the submission.
In addition to the 2004 future condition noise exposure map, the City of Austin submitted to the FAA on April 10, 2000, descriptions and other documentation which were produced during Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Austin, Texas, Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study. It was requested that the FAA review this material as the noise exposure map, as described in Title 49, and that the noise mitigation measures, to be implemented jointed by the airport and surrounding communities, be approved as a noise compatibility program under Title 49.
The FAA has determined that this map for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is in compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on May 8, 2000. FAA's determination on an airport operator's noise exposure map(s) is limited to a finding that the map(s) was 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.Start Printed Page 33869
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 Title 49. 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 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 Title 49. The FAA has relied on the certification by the airport operator, under § 150.21 of FAR Part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has been accomplished.
The FAA has formally received noise compatibility program for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, also effective on May 8, 2000. 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 November 8, 2000.
