ACTION:  Notice.

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

SUMMARY:  The FAA announces that it is reviewing a proposed Noise

Chandler Municipal Airport (CHD), Chandler, Arizona under the 
provisions of Title I of the Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 
(Public Law 96-193) (hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR 
Part 150. This program 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 June 24, 
1999. The proposed Noise Compatibility Program will be approved or 
disapproved on or before July 11, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE:  The effective date of the start of the FAA's review of 
the Noise Compatibility Program is January 13, 2000. The public comment 
period ends March 13, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Brian Armstrong, Airport Planner, 
Airports Division, AWP-611.1, Federal Aviation Administration, Western-
Pacific Region. Mailing address: P.O. Box 92007 World Way Postal 
Center, Los Angeles, CA, 90009-2007. Telephone Number (310) 725-3614. 
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 Chandler Municipal 
Airport which will be approved or disapproved on or before July 11, 
2000. 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 14 CFR 
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 
Chandler Municipal Airport, effective on January 13, 2000. It is 
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 minimum of 180 days, will be 
completed on or before July 11, 2000.
    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 reduce the level of aviation safety, create an undue burden on 
interstate or foreign commerce, or are 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:
