SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA announces that it is reviewing a
proposed Noise Compatibility Program Update (NCP) for the Naples
Airport, under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. (Aviation
Safety and Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter referred to as ``the
Act'')) and title 14 Code of Federal Regulations part 150 (hereinafter
referred to as ``part 150'') and has found it in compliance with
applicable requirements.
[[Page 52532]]
As required by part 50, the NCP Update will be approved or
disapproved (other than the proposed use of flight procedures for noise
control) on or before December 15, 2024. 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 Act, an airport operator (hereinafter referred to as
Sponsor) who has submitted NEMs 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 formally received the NCP Update for the Naples Airport,
effective on June 14, 2023. The Naples Airport Authority 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 reviews 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
December 15, 2024, 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 March 9, 2023.
The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the
provisions of part 150, Sec. 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 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 NCP 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.
Issued in Orlando Airports District Office, Orlando, Florida, on
June 18, 2024.
