DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review;
Bishop International Airport, Flint, MI
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
Bishop International Airport under the provisions of Title I of the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96-193)
(hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR Part 150 by Bishop
International Airport Authority. This program was submitted subsequent
to a determination by the FAA that associated noise exposure maps
submitted under 14 CFR Part 150 for Bishop International Airport were
in compliance with applicable requirements effective March 1, 1993. The
proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or disapproved on
or before July 25, 1994.
EFFECTIVE DATES: The effective date of the start of the FAA's review of
the noise compatibility program is January 26, 1994. The public comment
periods ends March 27, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ernest P. Gubry, Community Planner, Federal Aviation Administration,
Detroit Airports District Office, Willow Run Airport, East, 8820 Beck
Road, Belleville, Michigan 48111. 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 Bishop
International Airport which will be approved or disapproved on or
before July 25, 1994. 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 the FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of Federal
Aviation Regulations (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 introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for
Bishop International Airport, effective on January 26, 1994. 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 noise compatibility program
under section 104(b) 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 July 25, 1994.
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, create an undue burden on interstate or
foreign commerce, or be reasonably consistent with obtaining the goal
of reducing existing no compatible land uses and preventing the
introduction of additional noncompatible 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 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, Detroit Airports District Office,
Willow Run Airport, East, 8820 Beck Road, Belleville, Michigan 48111,
Bishop International Airport, G-3425 W. Bristol Road, Flint, Michigan
48507.
Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
Issued in Belleville, Michigan, on January 26, 1994.

Manager, Detroit Airports District Office, FAA Great Lakes Region.
