DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review;
James M. Cox-Dayton International Airport, Dayton, OH
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
James M. Cox-Dayton 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 city of Dayton, Ohio. This program was submitted subsequent to a
determination by the FAA that associated noise exposure maps submitted
under 14 CFR Part 150 for James M. Cox-Dayton International Airport
were in compliance with applicable requirements effective June 6, 1994.
The proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or
disapproved on or before October 30, 1996.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the start of the FAA's review of
the noise compatibility program is May 3, 1996. The public comment
periods ends July 2, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lawrence C. King, Airports Engineer,
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 James M. Cox-
Dayton International Airport which will be approved or disapproved on
or before October 30, 1996. 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 recieved the noise compatibility program for
James M. Cox-Dayton International Airport, effective on May 3, 1996. 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 October 30, 1996.
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 program
with specific reference to these factors. All comments, other than
those properly addressed to local and 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.
Mr. Roy Williams, Director of Aviation, James M. Cox-Dayton
International Airport, Terminal Building, Vandalia, OH 45377
Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
