DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration


Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review; 
James M. Cox-Dayton International Airport, Dayton, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is 
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for 
James M. Cox-Dayton International 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 Dayton, Ohio. This program was submitted subsequent to a 
determination by the FAA that associated noise exposure maps submitted 
under 14 CFR Part 150 for James M. Cox-Dayton International Airport 
were in compliance with applicable requirements effective June 6, 1994. 
The proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or 
disapproved on or before October 30, 1996.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the start of the FAA's review of 
the noise compatibility program is May 3, 1996. The public comment 
periods ends July 2, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lawrence C. King, Airports Engineer, 
Federal Aviation Administration, Detroit Airports District Office, 
Willow Run Airport, East, 8820 Beck Road, Belleville, Michigan 48111. 
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 James M. Cox-
Dayton International Airport which will be approved or disapproved on 
or before October 30, 1996. 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 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 noncompatible uses and for the prevention of 
the introduction of additional noncompatible uses.
    The FAA has formally recieved the noise compatibility program for 
James M. Cox-Dayton International Airport, effective on May 3, 1996. 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 October 30, 1996.
    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 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 and 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 noise 
compatibility program are available for examination at the following 
locations:

Federal Aviation Administration, Detroit Airports District Office, 
Willow Run Airport, East, 8820 Beck Road, Belleville, Michigan 
48111.
Mr. Roy Williams, Director of Aviation, James M. Cox-Dayton 
International Airport, Terminal Building, Vandalia, OH 45377

    Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the 
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
