DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Receipt of Revision to Noise Compatibility Program and Request
for Review, Louisville International Airport, Louisville, KY
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is
reviewing a proposed revision to the noise compatibility program that
was submitted by the Regional Airport Authority of Louisville and
Jefferson County (RAA) 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. The existing noise compatibility program was approved April
8, 1994. The proposed revision to the noise compatibility program will
be approved or disapproved on or before November 13, 1995.
DATES: The effective date of the FAA's review of the revision to the
noise compatibility program is May 17, 1995. The public comment period
ends July 16, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cynthia K. Wills, 2851 Directors Cove, Suite 3, Memphis, Tennessee
38131-0301; 901-544-3495. Comments on the proposed revision to the
noise compatibility program should also be submitted to the above
office.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA is
reviewing a proposed revision to the noise compatibility program for
Louisville International Airport which will be approved or disapproved
on or before November 13, 1995. 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 FAA approval
which sets forth the measures the operator has taken or proposed for
the reduction of existing noncompatible uses and for the prevention of
the introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
The FAA has formally received the proposed revision to the noise
compatibility program for Louisville International Airport, effective
May 1, 1995. It was requested that the FAA review this material and
that the noise mitigation measure proposed by the airport be approved
as a revision to the 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 [[Page 27804]] approval or disapproval of the program. The formal
review, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days will be completed on or
before November 13, 1995.
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 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
compatibility program, and the proposed revisions to the noise
compatibility program are available for examination at the following
locations:
