DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Noise Exposure Map Notice
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for
Fairbanks 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 the
State of Alaska. This program was submitted subsequent to a
determination by FAA that associated noise exposure maps submitted
under 14 CFR part 150 for Fairbanks International Airport were in
compliance with applicable requirements effective September 22, 1988.
The proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or
disapproved on or before September 21, 1994.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the start of FAA's review of the
noise compatibility program is March 25, 1994. The public comment
period ends May 9, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Laurie Hyman, 907-271-5446; Federal Aviation Administration; Alaskan
Region; Airports Division, AAL-612B; 222 West 7th Avenue, Box 14,
Anchorage, Alaska, 99513. 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 Fairbanks
International Airport which will be approved or disapproved on or
before September 21, 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 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 FA 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
Fairbanks International Airport, effective on March 25, 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 September 21, 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 of
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 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:

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
