Lauderdale, Florida
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is
reviewing a proposed Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) Update submitted
by Broward County, Florida, through its Aviation Department, for Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and has found it in
compliance with applicable requirements. This NCP Update was submitted
subsequent to a determination by the FAA that the associated Noise
Exposure Maps (NEMs) for the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International
Airport, were prepared in compliance with applicable requirements. The
NCP Update will be approved or disapproved (other than the proposed use
of flight procedures for noise control) on or before April 10, 2023.
Finally, this notice announces that the proposed NCP Update will be
available for public review and comment for 60 days from the
publication date of this notice.
DATES: The effective start date of the FAA's 180-day review period for
the associated NCP Update is October 12, 2022. The FAA must issue an
approval or disapproval of the NCP Update (other than the proposed use
of flight procedures for noise control) on or before April 10, 2023.
The public review and comment period ends 60 days from the publication
date of this notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peter Green, Federal Aviation
Administration, Orlando Airports District Office, 8427 SouthPark
Circle, Suite 524, Orlando, Florida 32819, (407) 487-7296. Comments on
the proposed NCP Update should also be submitted to the above office.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA is
reviewing a proposed NCP Update for the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood
International Airport. As required by Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations part 150 (hereinafter referred to as Part 150), the NCP
Update will be approved or disapproved (other than the proposed use of
flight procedures for noise control) on or before April 10, 2023.
Measures that involve changes to flight procedures require further
analysis and are not subject to the 180-day statutory decision
deadline. This notice also announces the availability of this NCP
Update for public review and comment for 60 days from the publication
date of this notice.
Under the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (49 U.S.C. 47501
et seq.), an airport operator (hereinafter referred to as Sponsor) who
has submitted NEMs
[[Page 63147]]
that are found by the FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of
Part 150 may submit for FAA approval a NCP or NCP Update that 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 within the area covered by the NEMs.
The FAA has formally received the NCP Update for the Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, effective on October 12,
2022. Broward County, Florida, through its Aviation Department,
requested the FAA review this material and that the noise mitigation
measures, to be implemented jointly by the Sponsor and surrounding
communities, be approved as a NCP Update under the Act. Preliminary
review of the submitted material indicates that it conforms to Part 150
requirements for the submittal of an NCP, but that further review is
necessary prior to approval or disapproval of the NCP Update. The
formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, will be
completed on or before April 10, 2023, with the exception of NCP
measures that propose the use of flight procedures for noise control. A
public hearing on the NCP was held by the Sponsor on April 21, 2021
The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the
provisions of part 150, 105.33. The primary considerations in the
evaluation process are whether the proposed measures may reduce the
level of aviation safety or create an undue burden on interstate or
foreign commerce, and whether they are reasonably consistent with
obtaining the goal of reducing existing non-compatible land uses and
preventing the introduction of additional non-compatible land uses.
Each airport NCP/NCP Update developed in accordance with part 150
is a local program, not a Federal program. The FAA does not substitute
its judgment for that of the Sponsor with respect to which measures
should be recommended for action. The FAA's approval or disapproval of
each specific measure proposed by a Sponsor in an NCP/NCP Update is
determined by applying approval criteria prescribed in Sec. 150.35(b)
of Part 150. Only measures that meet the approval criteria can be
approved and considered for Federal funding eligibility. FAA approval
or disapproval of a measure only indicates whether that measure would,
if implemented, be consistent with the purposes of Part 150. When a
measure is disapproved by the FAA, Sponsors are encouraged to work with
their communities and the FAA, outside of the part 150 process as
necessary, to implement initiatives that provide noise benefits for the
surrounding community.
Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed NCP
Update with specific reference to these factors. To maximize the
effectiveness of comments and the FAA's understanding of them, comments
should be as specific as possible, identifying the concern(s) as well
as suggested or desired resolution to the concern(s). When possible,
quote text and cite details such as page and section numbers, NCP
Update measure number, etc. to which the comment(s) pertain. This
commenting procedure is intended to ensure that substantive comments
and concerns are made available to the FAA in a timely manner so that
the FAA has an opportunity to address them in its Record of Approval.
All comments in their entirety become part of the public record,
including any personal information provided in the comment including
name, address, phone number, etc. All relevant comments, other than
those properly addressed to local land use authorities, will be
considered by the FAA to the extent practicable.
Copies of the the proposed NCP Update are available for examination
online at <a href="http://www.fllpart150.com">www.fllpart150.com</a> and by appointment at the following
location: Federal Aviation Administration, Orlando Airports District
Office, 8427 SouthPark Circle, Suite 524, Orlando, Florida 32819.
Please direct questions or requests to arrange an appointment to
review the NCP Update document to the individual named above under the
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
Issued in Orlando Airports District Office, Orlando, Florida on
