Receipt of Revision to the Approved Noise Compatibility Program 
and Request for Review; San Diego International Airport--Lindbergh 
Field (SAN), San Diego, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is 
reviewing a proposed revision to the approved Noise Compatibility 
Program that was submitted by the San Diego Unified Port District for 
San Diego International Airport--Lindbergh Field (SAN), San Diego, 
California, under the provisions of Title I of the Aviation 
[[Page 11165]] Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-
193) (hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR part 150. This 
revision was submitted subsequent to a determination by the FAA that 
associated Noise Exposure Maps, submitted under 14 CFR part 150, were 
in compliance with applicable requirements effective January 30, 1989. 
The proposed revision to the approved Noise Compatibility Program will 
be approved or disapproved on or before August 9, 1995.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the start of the FAA's review of 
the revision to the approved Noise Compatibility Program is February 
10, 1995. The public comment period ends April 11, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Charles B. Lieber, Airport Planner, Federal Aviation Administration, 
Western-Pacific Region, P.O. Box 92007, Worldway Postal Center, Los 
Angeles, California 90009-2007, (310) 297-1621. 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 revision to the approved Noise Compatibility 
Program for San Diego International Airport--Lindbergh Field which will 
be approved or disapproved on or before August 9, 1995. This notice 
also announces the availability of the revision for public review and 
comment.
    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 the 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 revision to the approved Noise 
Compatibility Program for San Diego International Airport--Lindbergh 
Field, effective on February 10, 1995. 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 June 5, 1991, the FAA approved the Noise Compatibility Program 
for the San Diego International Airport. An announcement of FAA's 
approval of the Noise Compatibility Program was published in the 
Federal Register on June 19, 1991. Preliminary review of the submitted 
material 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 revision. The 
formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, will be 
completed on or before August 9, 1995.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the 
provisions of 14 CFR 150.33. The primary considerations in the 
evaluation process are whether the proposed measures 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 program 
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 
revision to the approved Noise Compatibility Program are available for 
examination at the following locations:

615, Washington, DC 20591.

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
