Noise Exposure Maps for Jack Northup/Hawthorne Municipal Airport,
Hawthorne, Los Angeles County, California
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of acceptance of Noise Exposure Maps.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure maps submitted by the City of
Hawthorne for Jack Northup/Hawthorne Municipal Airport are in
compliance with applicable requirements.
DATES: The effective date of the FAA's determination on the noise
exposure maps is July 8, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David B. Kessler, AICP, Regional
Environmental Protection Specialist, 777 South Aviation Boulevard, El
Segundo, California 90045. Telephone 424-405-7315.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure maps submitted for Jack Northup/Hawthorne
Municipal Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements,
effective July 8, 2022. Under 49 U.S.C. 47503 of the Aviation Safety
and Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter referred to as ``the Act''), and
Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150, an 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 part 150, promulgated pursuant to the Act, may
submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets forth
the measures the 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 the City of Hawthorne. The
documentation that constitutes the ``Noise Exposure Maps'' as defined
in section 150.7 of part 150 includes: the radar flight tracks (Chapter
2; Exhibit 2C); the existing and future consolidated arrival,
departure, local and helicopter flight tracks (Chapter 2; Exhibits 2D,
2E, 2F); the 2020 Noise Exposure Map (Introduction, Exhibit 1) and 2025
Noise Exposure Map (Introduction, Exhibit 2), both depicting the runway
location, airport boundaries, and location of noise sensitive public
buildings over a land use map of a sufficient scale and quality to
discern streets and other identifiable geographic features; the
location of the noise monitoring sites (Chapter 2; Table 2H, Exhibit
2J); and the estimates of the number of people residing within the CNEL
65, 70, and 75 dB contours in 2020 and 2025 (Chapter 3; Table 3B, Table
3D). The FAA has determined that these noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is effective on July 8, 2022.
FAA's determination on an 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 part 150. Such determination
does not constitute approval of the applicant'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 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 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 part 150, that the
statutorily required consultation has been accomplished.

FAA's evaluation of the maps are available for examination online at
