Federal Aviation Administration
Noise Exposure Map Notice, Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport;
Fort Lauderdale, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the revised noise exposure maps submitted by the
City of Fort Lauderdale for the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport under
the provisions of Title I of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement
Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-193) and 14 CFR Part 150 are in compliance
with applicable requirements.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of FAA's determination on the
revised noise exposure maps is March 7, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Tommy J. Pickering, P.E., Federal Aviation Administration, Orlando
Airports District Office, 9677 Tradeport Drive, Suite 130, Orlando,
Florida 32827-5397, (407) 648-6583.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds
that the revised noise exposure maps submitted for the Fort Lauderdale
Executive Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of
Part 150, effective March 7, 1995.
Under section 103 of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of
1979 (hereinafter referred to as ``the Act''), an airport operator may
submit to the FAA noise exposure maps which meet applicable regulations
and which depict noncompatible land uses as of the date of submission
of such maps, a description of projected aircraft operations, and the
ways in which such operations will affect such maps. The Act requires
such maps to be developed in consultation with interested and affected
parties in the local community, government agencies, and persons using
the airport. An airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps
that are found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of
Federal Aviation [[Page 14316]] Regulations (FAR) Part 150, promulgated
pursuant to Title I of the Act, may submit a noise compatibility
program for FAA approved 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 completed its review of the revised noise exposure maps
and related descriptions submitted by the City of Fort Lauderdale. The
specific maps under consideration are ``Existing Conditions (1994)
Noise Exposure Map'' and ``Five-Year Forecast (1999) Noise Exposure
Map'' in the submission. The FAA has determined that these maps for the
Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport are in compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is effective on March 7, 1995. FAA's
determination on 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 determination
does not constitute approval of the applicant's data, information or
plans, or a commitment to approve a noise compatibility program or to
find 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. 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 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.
Copies of the revised noise exposure maps and of the FAA's
evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the following
locations:

Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
