DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Notice of Receipt and Request for Review of Noise Compatibility
Program
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
(DOT).
ACTION: Notice of receipt and request for review of noise compatibility
program.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for
John F. Kennedy International Airport by The Port Authority of New York
and New Jersey. This program was submitted subsequent to a
determination by FAA that associated noise exposure maps submitted for
John F. Kennedy International Airport were in compliance with
applicable requirements, effective May 19, 2017. The proposed noise
compatibility program will be approved or disapproved on or before
March 15, 2023. This notice also announces the availability of this
noise compatibility program for public review and comment.
DATES: The effective date of start of FAA's review of the noise
compatibility program is September 16, 2022. The public comment period
ends November 15, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew Brooks, Regional Environmental
Program Manager, Airports Division, Federal Aviation Administration, 1
Aviation Plaza, Room 516, Jamaica, NY 11434. Phone Number: 718-553-
2511. 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 (NCP) for John F.
Kennedy International Airport which will be approved or disapproved on
or before March 15, 2023. This notice also announces the availability
of this program for public review and comment.
An airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps (NEM)
that are found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of
title 49, chapter 475 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) (Aviation
Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'')
and title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150 (14 CFR 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 reduce existing non-compatible uses and prevent
the introduction of additional non-compatible uses. The FAA previously
determined that the NEMs for John F. Kennedy International Airport were
in compliance with applicable requirements under 14 CFR part 150,
effective January 15, 2019 (Noise Exposure Map Notice for John F.
Kennedy International Airport, New York City, New York, 82 FR 24770-1,
May 30, 2017).
The FAA has formally received the NCP for John F. Kennedy
International Airport on September 7, 2022. The airport operator has
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 NCP under section 47504 of
the Act. Preliminary review of the submitted material indicates that it
conforms to the requirements for the submittal of NCPs, but that
further review will be necessary prior to approval or disapproval of
the program for John F. Kennedy International Airport. The formal
review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, was initiated
on September 16, 2022 and will be completed on or before March 15,
2023.
The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the
provisions of 14 CFR 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 non-compatible land uses and preventing the
introduction of additional non-compatible 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 proposed
NCP for John F. Kennedy International Airport are available for
examination online at <a href="http://panynjpart150.com/JFK_FNCP.asp">http://panynjpart150.com/JFK_FNCP.asp</a>.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has also made a hard
copy of the document available for review at the JFK Redevelopment
Community Information Center, 144-33 Jamaica Avenue, Jamaica, NY 11435.
Interested parties can contact the office at (718) 244-3834 to arrange
for a review.
Questions regarding this notice may be directed to the individual
named above under the heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
Issued in Jamaica, NY, on September 16, 2022.
David A. Fish,
Director, Airports Division, Eastern Region.
