Noise Exposure Map Notice, Naples Municipal Airport, Naples, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted by Naples Airport
Authority for Naples Municipal Airport under the provisions of 49
U.S.C. 47501 et. seq (Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act) and 14
CFR part 150 are in compliance with applicable requirements.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the FAA's determination on
the noise exposure maps is November 23, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: W. Dean Stringer, Federal Aviation
Administration, Orlando Airports District Office, 5950 Hazeltine
National Drive, Suite 400, Orlando, Florida 32822, 407-812-6331,
Extension 117.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds
that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted for Naples Municipal Airport are
in compliance with applicable requirements of Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part 150, effective November 23, 2010. Under 49
U.S.C. section 47503 of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act
(the Act), an
[[Page 76068]]
airport operator may submit to the FAA Noise Exposure Maps which meet
applicable regulations and which depict non-compatible land uses as of
the date of submission of such maps, a description of projected
aircraft operations, and the ways in which such operations will affect
such maps. The Act requires such maps to be developed in consultation
with interested and affected parties in the local community, government
agencies, and persons using the airport. An airport operator who has
submitted Noise Exposure Maps that are found by FAA to be in compliance
with the requirements of 14 CFR part 150, promulgated pursuant to the
Act, may submit a Noise Compatibility Program for FAA approval which
sets forth the measures the airport operator has taken or proposes to
take to reduce existing non-compatible uses and prevent the
introduction of additional non-compatible uses.
The FAA has completed its review of the Noise Exposure Maps and
accompanying documentation submitted by Naples Airport Authority. The
documentation that constitutes the ``Noise Exposure Maps'' as defined
in Section 150.7 of 14 CFR part 150 includes: Figure 43, ``2010
Existing Conditions Noise Exposure Map; Figure 44, ``2015 Five-Year
Forecast Conditions Noise Exposure Map''; Figure 11, p. 31 and Figures
50-55 on pp. 124-134 are at required scale in supplemental fold-out map
entitled ``Consolidated Modeling Flight Tracks''; Section 5.6, pp. 110-
134; Section 3.1.2, pp 30-34; Section 2.4, pp. 23-27; Section 5.5, pp.
108; Table 2, p. 26; Section 5.5, p. 108; Table 7, p. 109. The FAA has
determined that these Noise Exposure Maps and accompanying
documentation are in compliance with applicable requirements. This
determination is effective on November 23, 2010.
FAA's determination on the airport operator's Noise Exposure Maps
is limited to a finding that the maps were developed in accordance with
the procedures contained in Appendix A of 14 CFR part 150. Such
determination does not constitute approval of the airport operator's
data, information or plans, or a commitment to approve a Noise
Compatibility Program or to fund the implementation of that Program. If
questions arise concerning the precise relationship of specific
properties to noise exposure contours depicted on a Noise Exposure Map
submitted under Section 47503 of the Act, it should be noted that the
FAA is not involved in any way in determining the relative locations of
specific properties with regard to the depicted noise exposure
contours, or in interpreting the Noise Exposure Maps to resolve
questions concerning, for example, which properties should be covered
by the provisions of Section 47506 of the Act. These functions are
inseparable from the ultimate land use control and planning
responsibilities of local government. These local responsibilities are
not changed in any way under 14 CFR part 150 or through FAA's review of
Noise Exposure Maps. Therefore, the responsibility for the detailed
overlaying of noise exposure contours onto the map depicting properties
on the surface rests exclusively with the airport operator that
submitted those maps, or with those public agencies and planning
agencies with which consultation is required under Section 47503 of the
Act. The FAA has relied on the certification by the airport operator,
under Section 150.21 of 14 CFR part 150, that the statutorily required
consultation has been accomplished.
Copies of the full Noise Exposure Maps documentation and of the
FAA's evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the
following locations: Federal Aviation Administration, Orlando Airports
District Office, 5950 Hazeltine National Drive, Suite 400, Orlando,
Florida 32822.
Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
