SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Noise Analysis is separate and 
independent from the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process 
initiated by the FAA for a proposed runway project on January 19, 2005. 
70 FR 3095 (January 19, 2005). The 2004 Map was previously provided for 
public review during the scoping process for the above EIS. The 2005 
Map derives from noise analysis conducted for the above EIS.
    The purpose of this Noise is to notify Federal, State, local 
government agencies, and the public about the availability of the Noise 
Analysis and the opportunity for review and comment. The FAA is also 
announcing the availability of the Noise Analysis in major local 
newspapers in the vicinity of FLL.

Background

    Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is owned and 
operated by, and lies within, Broward County, Florida. The cities of 
Dania Beach, Hollywood, Davie, and Fort Lauderdale and adjacent, or in 
close proximity, to the airport. The airport is bordered by Interstate 
595 to the north, Griffin Road to the south, U.S. Route 1 to the east 
and Interstate 95 to the west.
    In 1989, FAA accepted Noise Exposure Maps (NEMs) submitted by 
Broward County for FLL. FAA also received and approved a Noise 
Compatibility Program (NCP) for FLL pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 47501 et 
seq., as implemented by 14 CFR part 150 (part 150). The FAA reviews 
airport noise compatibility programs for consistency with statutory and 
regulatory criteria. 65 FR 43802, 43809 (July 14, 2000). To qualify for 
approval, program measures, among other things, (1) Must be reasonably 
consistent with the goals of reducing existing noncompatible land uses 
around the airport and of preventing the introduction of additional 
noncompatible land uses; (2) must not derogate safety or adversely 
affect the safe and efficient use of airspace; (3) must not impose an 
undue burden on interstate or foreign commerce; (4) must not be 
unjustly discriminatory or violate other airport grant agreement 
assurances; and (5) must be consistent with the powers and 
responsibilities of the FAA Administrator. The FAA must approve NCPs 
that meet the specified criteria. FLL's approved 1989 NCP included an 
informal runway use program. Under this runway use program the 
northernmost parallel runway at FLL, Runway 9L/27R, was designated as 
the ``preferred runway'' for turbojet departures and arrivals. FLL has 
three runways, two parallel east-west runways and a crosswind runway 
(generally running from the northwest to the southeast). The 
northernmost parallel runway is as noted above; the southernmost 
parallel runway is 9R/27L; the crosswind runway is 13/31.
    Pursuant to FAA Order 8400.9, National Safety and Operational 
Criteria for Runway Use Programs, and FAA order 7110.65M, ``Air Traffic 
Control'', Pilot/Controller Glossary, a runway use program is a runway 
selection plan designed to enhance noise abatement efforts. The Air 
Traffic Service (now ``Air Traffic Operations'') administers

[[Page 63830]]

runway use programs as ``Formal'' or ``Informal.'' Formal programs are 
defined and acknowledged in a Letter of Understanding between the 
Office of Flight Operations, Air Traffic Service, the airport 
proprietor, and the users. Once established, participation in a formal 
program is mandatory for aircraft operators and pilots as provided for 
in 14 CFR 91.129(h). An informal runway use program does not require a 
Letter of Understanding, and participation in the program is voluntary 
for aircraft operators/pilots.
    In 1995, Broward County submitted revised NEMs and a revised NCP 
for FLL. The NCP included a recommendation to continue the informal 
runway use program. FAA approved continuation of the informal runway 
use program as a voluntary measure. About 10 years later, by letter 
dated June 23, 2005, FAA advised Broward County that air traffic had 
recently increased to levels that periodically exceeded the capacity of 
the noise abatement runway, 9L/27R, resulting in delays affecting the 
national airspace system. FAA announced that the non-preferred runways 
would experience an increase in use when the capacity of the preferred 
runway was exceeded in the future. The June 23, 2005, letter expressly 
noted that FAA was not proposing to change the informal runway use 
program; however, when demand for the preferred runway exceeded its 
capacity, FAA would make use of all available runways. Prior to June 
23, 2005, occasionally Runway 13/31, and more frequently Runway 9L/27R, 
were made available for use by turbojet aircraft in some situations. 
The County specifically agreed to allow use of Runway 13/31 when Runway 
9L/27R was being resurfaced and to allow use of both Runway 13/31 and 
9R/27L between three and four hours per year during air-shows. In 
addition, Runway 13/31 was used by turbojet aircraft during aircraft 
emergencies, crosswind conditions, and severe weather conditions. In 
recent years Runway 9R/27L has been used for turbojet aircraft on a 
limited basis, during peak demand hours.
    Runway use at FLL since June 23, 2005, can generally be described 
as follows: In the early part of the day, air carrier and turbojet 
traffic primarily consists of arrivals, with relatively few departures. 
The capacity of the preferred runway is typically not exceeded during 
this period. As the day progresses, the number of air carrier and 
turbojet arrivals progressively increases while air carrier and 
turbojet departures significantly increases and the capacity of 9R/27L 
may be exceeded. It is at this point that runway 9R/27L is utilized to 
alleviate departure and/or arrival backlog that runway 9L/27R cannot 
accommodate. Occasionally, the crosswind runway must be tactically used 
to alleviate departure and/or arrival baggage. This permits ATO to 
reduce the departure/arrival backlog more quickly and allows the 
airport to return to operating on the parallel runways. Typically, in 
the latter part of the day/evening, the air carrier and turbojet 
traffic levels off and the preferred runway is eventually able to 
handle the air carrier and turbojet traffic demand. As shown in the 
runway and utilization data described in this Request for Public 
Comment, the change in use of runway 13/31 following June 23, 2005, has 
been minor and did not change the noise contour. Setting aside the 
proposed runway development that is the subject of the current EIS, FAA 
does not anticipate any major changes in future runway utilization 
unless there is a major change at the airport (i.e., number of 
operations, runway characteristics, etc.).
    This Noise Analysis discloses the noise impacts at FLL during a 12-
month period from July 2003 to June 2004 and a 12-month period from 
April 2005 to March 2006. The Noise Analysis includes two maps that 
identify land uses in areas surrounding FLL that experience noise 
levels of 65, 70 and 75 DNL dB or greater. The noise contours are 
superimposed over the land uses. The 2004 and 2005 maps are available 
on FAA's Web site, as noted below.
    The first map represents the noise conditions at FLL for the 12-
month period from July 2003 through June 2004 (the 2004 map: See http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/airports/regional_guidance/southern/environmental/media/fll_exhib1_2004_baseline.pdf). Between July 2003 
and June 2004, 304,430 annual operations occurred at FLL, which equates 
to 834 average-annual day operations. The second map represents the 
noise conditions at FLL for a 12-month period between April 2005 and 
March 2006 (the 2005 map: See http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/airports/regional_guidance/southern/environmental/media/fll_exhib2_2005_baseline.pdf). Between April 2005 and March 2006, 320,400 annual 
operations occurred at FLL, which constitutes 878 average-annual day 
operations. A comparison of the two maps reflects how noise impacts 
changed between 2004 and 2005, including any effect of increasing use 
of the non-preferred runways during periods when demand exceeds the 
capacity of the north parallel runway (See http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/airports/regional_guidance/southern/environmental/media/fll_exhib3_2004_2005_baseline.pdf).
    Each map was generated using FAA's Integrated Noise Model (INM) 
Version 6.1. Inputs to the INM include the runway length and direction, 
number of aircraft operations (the landing or take-off of an aircraft 
is considered one ``operation'') during the period evaluated, the types 
of aircraft flown, the time of day when they were flown, how frequently 
each runway was used for arriving and departing aircraft, the routes of 
flight used to and from the runways (flight tracks), and ground runup 
activity. The INM calculates noise exposure for the area around the 
airport and outputs contours of equal noise exposure. The same flight 
tracks were used in preparing both maps because no change in the flight 
tracks occurred during the relevant period.
    Aircraft types and times of operations were determined using 
Official Airline Guide (OAG) data, landing fee reports for the relevant 
periods, and the Airports Noise and Operations Management System 
(ANOMS) data. The ANOMS data was provided by Broward County.
    The number of housing units, number of people, and area within each 
noise exposure contour for 2004 is illustrated below. This data 
compiled using parcel records from the Broward County property 
appraiser's office and through a review of aerial photography.

    Approximately 4.9 square miles are within the 2005 Map's 65+ DNL 
noise contour. However, 2.2 square miles of that area is over either 
airport property or the Atlantic Ocean.

Comparison of 2004 and 2005 Noise Contours:

    Number of Operations and Fleet Mix: Annual operations increased by 
15,970 between July 2003 and March 2006, which results in an increase 
of 44 average-annual day operations. This increase occurred in the air 
carrier and commuter/air tai categories, while the general aviation 
category experienced a decrease. In addition to the increase in 
operations, there was also a change in the fleet mix of the air carrier 
and commute/air taxi categories. The air carrier fleet experienced a 
reduction in the older noisier aircraft, such as the 727-200 
(Hushkitted), 737-200 (Hushkitted) and the MD90 aircraft, and an 
increase in newer quieter aircraft, such as Airbus 319, 320 and 321 
aircraft. The commute/air taxi agency experienced an increase in 
regional jets and turboprop aircraft. The percentage of nighttime 
operations decreased from the 2004 Map to the 2005 Map. The percent of 
nighttime operations for the 2004 Map was approximately 11 percent 
while the percentage of nighttime operations for the 2005 Map decreased 
to approximately 10 percent.
    Runway Utilization: The runway utilization at FLL is comparable 
between the period covered by the 2004 Map and the 2005 Map. The minor 
difference in runway utilization percentages is within a normal 
variance for a large airport when comparing data from different time 
periods. The 2005 map reflects increase use of Runway 9R

[[Page 63832]]

by general aviation jets and commuter propeller aircraft. Runway end 
utilization percentages reflect an average annual day.

    Flight Tracks: No change in the flight tracks occurred between July 
2003 and March 2006.
    Ground Runup Noise: There was a small increase in the number of 
engine runups that is reflected in the 2005 Map. This change was in 
proportion to the increase or decrease in the overall operations of the 
types of aircraft performing the runups.
    Noise Contours: The 2005 noise contour is smaller than the 2004 
contour due to the changes in fleet mix and the decrease in the 
percentage of nighttime operations. The shape of the noise contours off 
all runway ends remains the same, which is reflective of no significant 
changes in runway end utilization or flight tracks. The minor change in 
the utilization of Runway 13/31 did not change the noise contour.
    The two areas where differences in the noise contours occur are to 
the west of the airport, off Runway 9L/27R and to the northwest of the 
airport, off Runway 13/31 (See http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/airports/regional_guidance/southern/environmental/media/fll_exhibx_housing_diff_2004_2005.pdf). For the area west of the airport, off Runway 
9L/27R, a total of nine (9) mobile homes are no longer in the 2005 65 
DNL noise contour when compared to the 2004 65 DNL dB noise contour. 
For the area northwest of the airport, off Runway 13/31, a total of 
thirty-seven (37) homes (consisting of twenty-seven (27) mobile homes, 
two (2) multi-family homes with a total of nine (9) units, and eight 
(8) single-family homes) are no longer in the 2005 65 DNL dB noise 
contour when compared to the 2004 65 DNL dB noise contour.
