SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA is
reviewing a proposed Revision (#2) to
[[Page 6792]]
the approved Noise Compatibility Program for San Diego International
Airport--Lindbergh Field which will be approved or disapproved on or
before July 28, 1998. This notice also announces the availability of
this Revision (#2) for public review and comment.
The FAA has formally received Revision #2 to the approved Noise
Compatibility Program for San Diego International Airport--Lindbergh
Field, effective on August 13, 1997. It was 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 revision to the approved Noise Compatibility Program
under Section 104(b) of the Act. On June 5, 1991, the FAA approved the
Noise Compatibility Program for the San Diego International Airport. An
announcement of FAA's approval of the Noise Compatibility Program was
published in the Federal Register on June 19, 1991. On May 11, 1995,
the FAA approved Revision #1 to the Noise Compatibility Program.
Preliminary review of Revision #2 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 revision. The formal review period, limited by law to a maximum
of 180 days, will be completed on or before July 28, 1998.
The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the
provisions of 14 CFR Part 150, Section 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 noncompatible land uses
and preventing the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses.
Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed Revision
#2 with specific reference to these evaluation 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 Noise
Exposure Maps, the approved Noise Compatibility Program, Revision #1 to
the Noise Compatibility Program, and proposed Revision (#2) are
available for examination at the following locations:
