DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Receipt of Revision To Approved Noise Compatibility Program and
Request for Review; Reno/Tahoe International Airport, Reno, NV
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is
reviewing a proposed revision to the approved noise compatibility
program that was submitted for Reno/Tahoe 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 Airport Authority of Washoe County, Nevada.
The Noise Compatibility Program was submitted subsequent to a
determination by FAA that associated noise exposure maps submitted
under 14 CFR Part 150 for Reno/Tahoe International Airport were in
compliance with applicable requirements effective February 22, 1991.
The Noise Compatibility Program for Reno/Tahoe International Airport
was approved by the FAA on September 1, 1993. The proposed revision to
the approved noise compatibility program will be approved or
disapproved on or before December 10, 1995.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the start of FAA's review of the
revision to the approved noise compatibility program is June 13, 1995.
The public comment period ends July 13, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Elisha Novak, Senior Planner, SFO-612, Federal Aviation
Administration, San Francisco Airports District Office, 831 Mitten
Road, Burlingame, California 94010-1303, Telephone 415/876-2928.
Comments on the proposed revision to the approved noise compatibility
program should be submitted to the above office.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA is
reviewing a proposed revision to the approved noise compatibility
program for Reno/Tahoe International Airport which will be approved or
disapproved on or before December 10, 1995. 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 revision to the approved noise
compatibility program for Reno/Tahoe International Airport, effective
June 13, 1995. 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 September 1,
1993, the FAA approved the noise compatibility program for Reno/Taho
International Airport. An announcement of FAA's approval of the noise
compatibility program was published in the Federal Register on
September 24, 1993. Preliminary review of the submitted material for
the 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 December 10, 1995.
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
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
revision to the approved noise compatibility program are available for
examination at the following locations:
