Noise Exposure Map Notice; Tampa International Airport (TPA)
Airport, Tampa, Florida
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
(DOT).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the Noise Exposure Maps (NEMs) submitted by the
Hillsborough County Aviation Authority for Tampa International Airport
under the provisions of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act and
are in compliance with applicable requirements.
DATES: The effective date of the FAA's compliance determination on the
NEMs is April 14, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy Reed, Federal Aviation
Administration, Orlando Airports District Office, 8427 SouthPark
Circle, Suite 524, Orlando, Florida 32819, (407) 487-7297.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds
that the NEMs submitted for the Tampa International Airport (TPA) are
in compliance with applicable requirements of title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part 150, effective April 14, 2022. Under 49 U.S.C.
47503 of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (``the Act''), an
airport operator may submit to the FAA NEMs 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 Sponsor who has submitted NEMs that are found by the FAA
to be in compliance with the requirements of 14 CFR part 150,
promulgated pursuant to the Act, may submit a Noise Compatibility
Program (NCP) for FAA approval which sets forth the measures the
Sponsor 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 NEMs and accompanying
documentation submitted by Hillsborough County Aviation Authority. The
documentation that constitutes the ``NEMs'' as defined in 14 CFR 150.7
includes: Final 2021 Existing Conditions Noise Exposure Map (Figure J-
1); Final 2026 Future Conditions Noise Exposure Map (Figure J-2);
Fixed-Wing Flight Tracks--North Flow (Figure J-3); Fixed-Wing Flight
Tracks--South Flow (Figure J-4); Helicopter Flight Tracks--All Flows
(Figure J-5); and the Final Noise Exposure Map Report and its
appendices. The FAA has determined that these NEMs and accompanying
documentation are in compliance with applicable requirements. This
determination is effective on April 14, 2022.
FAA's determination on the airport Sponsor's NEMs 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 Sponsor's data, information, or plans, and
is not a commitment to approve a NCP 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 NEM
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 NEMs 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 and remain unchanged by FAA's NEM compliance determination
under 14 CFR part 150. The responsibility for the detailed overlaying
of noise exposure contours onto the map depicting properties on the
surface rests exclusively with the airport Sponsor 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 Hillsborough
[[Page 24222]]
County Aviation Authority, under 14 CFR 150.21, that the statutorily
required consultation has been accomplished.
Copies of the full NEM documentation are available for examination
by appointment at the following locations:

8427 SouthPark Circle, Suite 524, Orlando, Florida 32819.
