DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review for
Riverside Municipal Airport, Riverside, CA
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
Riverside Municipal Airport, Riverside, California, 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 Riverside, California. This program was
submitted subsequent to a determination by the FAA that the associated
noise exposure maps submitted under 14 CFR Part 150 for Riverside
Municipal Airport were in compliance with applicable requirements
effective September 12, 1995. The proposed noise compatibility program
will be approved or disapproved on or before January 4, 1997.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the start of FAA's review of the
noise compatibility program is July 8, 1996. The public comment period
ends September 6, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Charles B. Lieber, Airport Planner, AWP-611.1, Planning Section,
Western-Pacific Region, Federal Aviation Administration, P.O. Box
92007, Worldway Postal Center, Los Angeles, California 90009-2007,
Telephone (310) 725-3614. 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 Riverside
Municipal Airport which will be approved or disapproved on or before
January 4, 1997. 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 formally received the noise compatibility program for
Riverside Municipal Airport, effective on April 19, 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 January 4, 1997.
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 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:

heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
