and Request for Review; Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, 
Phoenix, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is 
reviewing a proposed second revision to the approved noise 
compatibility program that was submitted for Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport 
under the provisions of Title I of the Aviation Safety and Noise 
Abatement Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96-193) (hereinafter referred to as 
``the Act'') and 14 CFR part 150 by the City of Phoenix, Arizona. The 
Noise Compatibility program was submitted subsequent to a determination 
by FAA that associated noise exposure maps submitted under 14 CFR part 
150 for Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport were in compliance with applicable 
requirements effective November 17, 1988. The Noise Compatibility 
Program for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport was approved by 
the FAA on April 2, 1990. Revision No. 1 to the approved Noise 
Compatibility Program was approved by the FAA on August 14, 1992. The 
proposed second revision to the approved noise compatibility program 
will be approved or disapproved on or before November 23, 1994.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the start of FAA's review of the 
revision to the approved noise compatibility program is May 27, 1994. 
The public comment period ends July 26, 1994.

92007, Worldway Postal Center, Los Angeles, California 90009-2007, 
Telephone: 310/297-1534. Comments on the proposed second revision to

the above office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA is 
reviewing a proposed second revision to the approved noise 
compatibility program for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport 
which will be approved or disapproved on or before November 23, 1994. 
This notice also announces the availability of this revision 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 Federal 
Aviation Regulations (FAR) part 150, promulgated pursuant to Title I of 
the Act, may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval 
which sets forth the measures the operator has taken or proposes for 
the reduction of existing noncompatible uses and for the prevention of 
the introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
    The FAA has formally received the second revision to the approved 
noise compatibility program for Phoenix Sky Harbor International 
Airport, effective on May 27, 1994. It was 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 104(b) of the 
Act. On April 2, 1990, the FAA approved the noise compatibility program 
for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. An announcement of FAA's 
approval of the noise compatibility program was published in the 
Federal Register on May 1, 1990. Revision Number 1 to the approved 
noise compatibility program was approved by the FAA on August 14, 1992. 
An announcement of FAA's approval of the Revision Number 1 was 
published in the Federal Register on September 14, 1992. Preliminary 
review of the submitted material for the second revision indicates that 
it conforms to the 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 23, 1994.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the 
provisions of 14 CFR part 150, Sec. 150.33. The primary considerations 
in the evaluation process are whether the proposed measure may reduce 
the level of aviation safety, create an undue burden on interstate or 
foreign commerce, or be reasonably consistent with obtaining the goal 
of reducing existing noncompatible land uses and preventing the 
introduction of additional noncompatible land uses.
    Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed revision 
with specific reference to these factors. All comments, 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, the FAA's evaluation of the maps, and the proposed 
second revision to the approved noise compatibility program are 
available for examination at the following locations:

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
