DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review for
Bob Hope Airport, Burbank, California
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for
Bob Hope Airport under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. (the
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as
``the Act'') and 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150 by the
Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority, Burbank, California. This
program was submitted subsequent to a determination by FAA that
associated noise exposure maps submitted under 14 CFR part 150 for Bob
Hope Airport were in compliance with applicable requirements, effective
October 10, 2013, 78 FR 64048-64049. The proposed noise compatibility
program will be approved or disapproved on or before November 7, 2016.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the start of FAA's review
of the noise compatibility program is May 11, 2016. The public comment
period ends July 11, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Victor Globa, Federal Aviation
Administration, Los Angeles Airports District Office, P.O. Box 92007,
Los Angeles, California 90009-2007, Telephone: 310/725-3637. 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 for Bob Hope Airport
which will be approved or disapproved on or before November 7, 2016.
This notice also announces the availability of this program for public
review and comment.
An airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps that are
found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of 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.
[[Page 31676]]
The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for
Bob Hope Airport, effective on April 6, 2016. 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 noise compatibility program
under section 47504 of the Act. Preliminary review of the submitted
material indicates that it conforms to 14 CFR part 150 requirements for
the submittal of noise compatibility programs, but that further review
will be necessary prior to approval or disapproval of the program. The
formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, will be
completed on or before November 7, 2016.
The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the
provisions of 14 CFR part 150, section 150.33. 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.
Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed program
with specific reference to these factors. All comments relating to
these factors, other than those properly addressed to local land use
authorities, will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable.
Copies of the noise exposure maps and the proposed noise compatibility
program are available for examination at the following locations:
