14 CFR Part 150
[Docket No. 28149]
Proposed Final Policy on Part 150 Approval and Funding of Noise
Mitigation Measures
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Proposed Final Policy on Part 150 Approval and
Funding of Noise Mitigation Measures, and request for supplemental
comment on its Impacts on Passenger Facility Charges; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the notice of proposed
policy and request for supplementary comments published in the Federal
Register (62 FR 28816) on May 28, 1997. The address to which comments
should be sent was omitted from the notice. The notice announces that
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has prepared for issuance a
final policy concerning approval and eligibility for Federal funding of
certain noise mitigation measures. Under this policy, as of January 1,
1998, the FAA will approve under 14 CFR part 150 (part 150) only
remedial noise mitigation measures for existing noncompatible
development and only preventive noise mitigation measures in areas of
potential new noncompatible development. As of the same effective date,
eligibility for Airport Improvement Program (AID) funding under the
noise set-aside will be determined using criteria consistent with this
policy. This policy also applies to projects that are eligible for
noise set-aside funds without a part 150 program. This change in AIP
eligibility will change in a similar way the eligibility of noise
projects for passenger facility charge (PFC) funding. FAA is requesting
supplemental comment on the impact of its limitations on PFC
eligibility, and will consider any comments on PFC eligibility thus
received and revise the policy as may be appropriate prior to issuing
the final policy.
DATES: Comments are due on or before June 27, 1997. This policy will be
effective January 1, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Send comments on the impacts of this policy's limitations on
PFC eligibility to: Federal Aviation Administration, Office of the
Chief Counsel, Attn.: Rules Docket (AGC-10), Docket No. 28149, 800
Independence Avenue, S.W., Room 915G, Washington, DC 20591. Comments
may also be submitted electronically to the following internet address:
nprmcmts@mail.hq.faa.gov. Comments may be inspected in Room 915G
between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays, except Federal Holidays.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. William W. Albee (202-267-3553).
