Noise Exposure Map Notice; Naples Municipal Airport, Naples,
Florida
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted by the Naples
Airport Authority for the Naples Municipal Airport under the provisions
of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act and are in compliance
with applicable requirements.
DATES: The effective date of the FAA's determination on the Noise
Exposure Maps is December 9, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peter Green, Federal Aviation
Administration, Southern Region/Orlando Airports District Office, 8427
SouthPark Circle, Orlando, Florida 32819, (407) 487-7296.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds
that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted for the Naples Municipal Airport
are in compliance with applicable requirements of Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150, effective December 9, 2021. Under
49 U.S.C. 47503 of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (``the
Act''), an airport operator may submit to the FAA Noise Exposure Maps
which meet applicable regulations and which depict non-compatible land
uses as of the date of submission of such maps, a description of
projected aircraft operations, and the ways in which such operations
will affect such maps. The Act requires such maps to be developed in
consultation with interested and affected parties in the local
community, government agencies, and persons using the airport. 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 airport
operator has taken or proposes to take to reduce existing non-
compatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional non-
compatible uses.
The FAA has completed its review of the Noise Exposure Maps and
accompanying documentation submitted by the Naples Airport Authority.
The documentation that constitutes the ``Noise Exposure Maps'' as
defined in 14 CFR 150.7 includes: 2021 Existing Conditions Noise
Exposure Map (Map 1 of 5); 2026 Future Conditions Noise Exposure Map
(Map 2 of 5); Modeled Fixed Wing Flight Tracks, Runway 5-23 (Map 3 of
5); Modeled Fixed Wing Flight Tracks, Runway 14-32 (Map 4 of 5);
Modeled Helicopter Flight Tracks, All Runways (Map 5 of 5); and the
Final Noise Exposure Map Report and its appendices. The FAA has
determined that these Noise Exposure Maps and accompanying
documentation are in compliance with applicable requirements. This
determination is effective on December 9, 2021.
FAA's determination on the airport operator's Noise Exposure Maps
is limited to a finding that the maps were developed in accordance with
the procedures contained in Appendix A of 14 CFR part 150. Such
determination does not constitute approval of the airport operator'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 to noise exposure contours depicted on a Noise Exposure Map
submitted under Section 47503 of the Act, 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 exposure
contours, or in interpreting the Noise Exposure Maps to resolve
questions concerning, for example, which properties should be covered
by the provisions of Section 47506 of the Act. 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's review of
Noise Exposure Maps. 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 those maps, or with those public agencies and planning
agencies with which consultation is required under Section 47503 of the
Act. The FAA has relied on the certification by the airport operator,
under 14 CFR 150.21, that the statutorily required consultation has
been accomplished.
Copies of the full Noise Exposure Maps documentation and of the
FAA's evaluation of the maps are available for examination by
appointment at the following location: Federal Aviation Administration,
Orlando Airports District Office, 8427 SouthPark Circle, 5th Floor,
Orlando, Florida 32819.
To arrange an appointment to review the Noise Exposure Maps
documentation, contact Peter Green, Federal Aviation Administration,
Southern Region/Orlando Airports District Office, 8427 SouthPark
Circle, Orlando, FL, 32819, (407) 487-7296. Questions may be directed
to the individual named above under the heading, FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
Issued in Orlando Airports District Office, Orlando, FL, on
December 9, 2021.
