Noise Compatibility Program for Chicago Executive Airport, Cook
County, Illinois
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Acceptance of Chicago Executive Airport noise exposure map.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure map submitted by Chicago
Executive Airport is in compliance with applicable statutory and
regulatory requirements.
DATES: The effective date of the FAA's determination on the noise
exposure map is May 28, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Craig Pullins, 2300 Devon Avenue,
Suite 312, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018. 847-294-7354.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA determined the noise exposure map
submitted by Chicago Executive Airport, is in compliance with
applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, effective May 28,
2024. Under title 49, United States Code (U.S.C.) section 47503, an
airport operator may submit to the FAA, noise exposure maps depicting
non-compatible uses as of the date such map is submitted, a description
of estimated aircraft operations during a forecast period that is at
least five years in the future and how those operations will affect the
map. A noise exposure map must be prepared in accordance with title 14,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part
[[Page 47682]]
150, the regulations promulgated pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 47502 and
developed in consultation with public agencies and planning authorities
in the area surrounding the airport, state and Federal agencies,
interested and affected parties in the local community, and
aeronautical users of the airport. In addition, an airport operator
that submitted a noise exposure map, which the FAA determined is
compliant with statutory and regulatory requirements, may submit a
noise compatibility program for FAA approval that sets forth 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 completed its review of the noise exposure map and
supporting documentation submitted by the Cities of Wheeling & Prospect
Heights and determined the noise exposure map and accompanying
documentation are in compliance with applicable requirements.
The documentation that constitutes the Noise Exposure Map includes:

Appendix G 2027 Aircraft Flight Tracks--Departures required by 14 CFR
150.101 and 49 U.S.C. 47503 and 47506. This determination is effective
on May 28, 2024. FAA's determination on an airport's noise exposure map
is limited to a finding that the noise exposure map was developed in
accordance with the 49 U.S.C. 47503 and 47506 and procedures contained
in 14 CFR part 150, appendix A. FAA's acceptance of an NEM 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 within noise exposure
contours depicted on a noise exposure map, 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 49
U.S.C. 47506.
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 review and acceptance of a noise exposure map. 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 a noise exposure
map or with those public and planning agencies with which consultation
is required under 49 U.S.C. 47503. The FAA relied on the certification
by the airport operator, under of 14 CFR 150.21 that the required
consultations and opportunity for public review has been accomplished
during the development of the noise exposure maps. Copies of the noise
exposure map and supporting documentation and the FAA's evaluation of
the noise exposure maps are available for examination at the following
locations:
Federal Aviation Administration Chicago Airports District Office,
2300 Devon Avenue, Suite 312, Des Plaines, IL 60018, and Chicago
Executive Airport at 1020 S. Plant Road, Wheeling, IL 60090. Questions
may be directed to the individual listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section of this notice.
Issued in Des Plaines, Illinois on May 28, 2024.
