Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review for 
Glendale Municipal Airport, Glendale, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is 
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for 
Glendale Municipal Airport under the provisions of Title I of the 
Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-193) 
(hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR part 150 by the 
city of Glendale, Arizona. This program was submitted subsequent to a 
determination by the FAA that the associated noise exposure maps 
submitted under CFR part 150 for Glendale Municipal Airport were in 
compliance with applicable requirements effective July 5, 1994. The 
proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or disapproved on 
or before December 27, 1995.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the start of FAA's review of the 
noise compatibility program is June 30, 1995. The public comment period 
ends August 29, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
David B. Kessler, Environmental Protection Specialist, AWP-611.2, 
Planning Section, Western-Pacific Region, Federal Aviation 
Administration, P.O. Box 92007, Worldway Postal Center, Los Angeles, 
California 90009-2007, Telephone 310/297-1534. Street Address: 15000 
Aviation Boulevard, Hawthorne, California 90261. 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 noise compatibility program for Glendale Municipal 
Airport which will be approve or disapproved on or before December 27, 
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 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 noise compatibility program for 
Glendale Municipal Airport, effective on June 30, 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. 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 program. The 
formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, will be 
completed on or before December 27, 1995.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the 
provisions of 14 CFR part 150, section 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 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
