DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review for
Glendale Municipal Airport, Glendale, AZ
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for
Glendale Municipal Airport under the provisions of Title I of the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-193)
(hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR part 150 by the
city of Glendale, Arizona. This program was submitted subsequent to a
determination by the FAA that the associated noise exposure maps
submitted under CFR part 150 for Glendale Municipal Airport were in
compliance with applicable requirements effective July 5, 1994. The
proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or disapproved on
or before December 27, 1995.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the start of FAA's review of the
noise compatibility program is June 30, 1995. The public comment period
ends August 29, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
David B. Kessler, Environmental Protection Specialist, AWP-611.2,
Planning Section, Western-Pacific Region, Federal Aviation
Administration, P.O. Box 92007, Worldway Postal Center, Los Angeles,
California 90009-2007, Telephone 310/297-1534. Street Address: 15000
Aviation Boulevard, Hawthorne, California 90261. 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 Glendale Municipal
Airport which will be approve or disapproved on or before December 27,
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 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 noise compatibility program for
Glendale Municipal Airport, effective on June 30, 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. 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 December 27, 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
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 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
