DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Receipt of Revision to Noise Compatibility Program and Request 
for Review, Louisville International Airport, Louisville, KY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is 
reviewing a proposed revision to the noise compatibility program that 
was submitted by the Regional Airport Authority of Louisville and 
Jefferson County (RAA) 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. The existing noise compatibility program was approved April 
8, 1994. The proposed revision to the noise compatibility program will 
be approved or disapproved on or before November 13, 1995.

DATES: The effective date of the FAA's review of the revision to the 
noise compatibility program is May 17, 1995. The public comment period 
ends July 16, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cynthia K. Wills, 2851 Directors Cove, Suite 3, Memphis, Tennessee 
38131-0301; 901-544-3495. Comments on the proposed revision to the 
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 noise compatibility program for 
Louisville International Airport which will be approved or disapproved 
on or before November 13, 1995. 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 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 proposed for 
the reduction of existing noncompatible uses and for the prevention of 
the introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
    The FAA has formally received the proposed revision to the noise 
compatibility program for Louisville International Airport, effective 
May 1, 1995. It was requested that the FAA review this material and 
that the noise mitigation measure proposed by the airport be approved 
as a revision to the noise compatibility program under Section 104(b) 
of the Act. 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 [[Page 27804]] approval or disapproval of the program. The formal 
review, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days will be completed on or 
before November 13, 1995.
    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 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 
compatibility program, and the proposed revisions to the noise 
compatibility program are available for examination at the following 
locations:

617, Washington, DC 20591

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
