and Request for Review; Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport,
Phoenix, AZ
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is
reviewing a proposed second revision to the approved noise
compatibility program that was submitted for Phoenix Sky Harbor 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 Phoenix, Arizona. The
Noise Compatibility program was submitted subsequent to a determination
by FAA that associated noise exposure maps submitted under 14 CFR part
150 for Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport were in compliance with applicable
requirements effective November 17, 1988. The Noise Compatibility
Program for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport was approved by
the FAA on April 2, 1990. Revision No. 1 to the approved Noise
Compatibility Program was approved by the FAA on August 14, 1992. The
proposed second revision to the approved noise compatibility program
will be approved or disapproved on or before November 23, 1994.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the start of FAA's review of the
revision to the approved noise compatibility program is May 27, 1994.
The public comment period ends July 26, 1994.

David B. Kessler, Airport Planner, Airports Division, AWP-611.2,
Western-Pacific Region, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box
92007, Worldway Postal Center, Los Angeles, California 90009-2007,
Telephone: 310/297-1534. Comments on the proposed second revision to
the approved noise compatibility program should also be submitted to
the above office.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA is
reviewing a proposed second revision to the approved noise
compatibility program for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport
which will be approved or disapproved on or before November 23, 1994.
This notice also announces the availability of this revision 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 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 second revision to the approved
noise compatibility program for Phoenix Sky Harbor International
Airport, effective on May 27, 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. On April 2, 1990, the FAA approved the noise compatibility program
for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. An announcement of FAA's
approval of the noise compatibility program was published in the
Federal Register on May 1, 1990. Revision Number 1 to the approved
noise compatibility program was approved by the FAA on August 14, 1992.
An announcement of FAA's approval of the Revision Number 1 was
published in the Federal Register on September 14, 1992. Preliminary
review of the submitted material for the second revision 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
November 23, 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 measure 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 revision
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
second revision to the approved noise compatibility program are
available for examination at the following locations:

617, Washington, DC 20591.

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
Issued in Hawthorne, California, on May 27, 1994.

Manager, Airports Division, AWP-600, Western-Pacific Region.
