DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
James M. Cox-Dayton International Airport Dayton, OH; Noise
Exposure Map Notice
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the revised noise exposure maps submitted by the
city of Dayton, Ohio, for James M. Cox-Dayton International Airport
under the provisions of Title I of the Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-193) and 14 CFR part 150 are in
compliance with applicable requirements.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the FAA's determination on the
noise exposure maps is June 6, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lawrence C. King, Federal Aviation Administration, Great Lakes Region,
Detroit Airports District Office, DET ADO-670.2, Willow Run Airport,
East, 8820 Beck Road, Belleville, Michigan 48111, (313) 487-7293.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure maps submitted for the James M. Cox-Dayton
International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of
Part 150, effective June 6,1994. These maps replace the previously
accepted NEM's of September 23, 1988.
Under section 103 of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of
1979 (hereinafter referred to as ``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 the 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 non-compatible uses and for the prevention of
the introduction of additional non-compatible uses.
The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure maps and
related description submitted by the city of Dayton, Ohio for James M.
Cox-Dayton International Airport. The specific maps under consideration
are the ``1992 Noise Exposure Map'', page I-8 and ``1997 Noise Exposure
Map'', page I-9, in the submission. The FAA has determined that these
maps for James M. Cox-Dayton International Airport are in compliance
with applicable requirements. This determination is effective on June
6, 1994. The FAA's determination on an 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 FAR part 150.
Such determination 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 to noise exposure contours depicted on a noise exposure map
submitted under section 103 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 contours, or in
interpreting the noise exposure maps to resolve questions concerning,
for example, which properties should be covered by the provisions of
Section 107 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 part 150 or through the 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 which submitted those maps,
or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which
consultation is required under section 103 of the Act. The FAA has
relied on the certification by the airport operator, under Sec. 150.21
of FAR part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has been
accomplished.
Copies of the noise exposure maps and of the FAA's evaluation of
the maps are available for examination at the following locations:

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
