Federal Aviation Administration
Noise Exposure Map Notice; Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood
International Airport, Fort Lauderdale, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted by Broward County,
Florida, through its Aviation Department (BCAD) for Fort Lauderdale-
Hollywood International Airport under the provisions of the Aviation
Safety and Noise Abatement Act are in compliance with applicable
requirements.
DATES: The effective date of the FAA's determination on the noise
exposure maps is October 3, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Felicia Reeves, Federal Aviation
Administration, Southern Region/Atlanta Airports District Office, 1701
Columbia Ave, Room 220, College Park, GA 30337, (404) 305-6708.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds
that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted for Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood
International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of
Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150, effective October
3, 2019. Under 49 U.S.C. 47503 of the Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act (``the Act''), an airport operator may submit to the FAA
Noise Exposure Maps which meet applicable regulations and which depict
non-compatible land uses as of the date of submission of such maps, a
description of projected aircraft operations, and the ways in which
such operations will affect such maps. The Act requires such maps to be
developed in consultation with interested and affected parties in the
local community, government agencies, and persons using the airport. An
airport operator who has submitted Noise Exposure Maps that are found
by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of 14 CFR part 150,
promulgated pursuant to the Act, may
[[Page 54943]]
submit a Noise Compatibility Program for FAA approval which sets forth
the measures the airport operator has taken or proposes to take to
reduce existing non-compatible uses and prevent the introduction of
additional non-compatible uses.
The FAA has completed its review of the Noise Exposure Maps and
accompanying documentation submitted by Broward County, Florida,
through its Aviation Department (BCAD) for Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood
International Airport. The documentation that constitutes the ``Noise
Exposure Maps'' as defined in 14 CFR 150.7 includes: Map 1 of 5--2018
Noise Exposure Map; Map 2 of 5--2023 Noise Exposure Map; Map 3 of 5--
East Flow Fixed-Wing Flight Tracks; Map 4--West Flow Fixed-Wing Flight
Track; and Map 5 of 5--Helicopter Flight Tracks; and the Final Noise
Exposure Map Report and its appendices. The FAA has determined that
these Noise Exposure Maps and accompanying documentation are in
compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is
effective on October 3, 2019.
FAA's determination on the airport operator's Noise Exposure Maps
is limited to a finding that the maps were developed in accordance with
the procedures contained in Appendix A of 14 CFR part 150. Such
determination does not constitute approval of the airport operator's
data, information or plans, or a commitment to approve a Noise
Compatibility Program or to fund the implementation of that Program. If
questions arise concerning the precise relationship of specific
properties to noise exposure contours depicted on a Noise Exposure Map
submitted under Section 47503 of the Act, it should be noted that the
FAA is not involved in any way in determining the relative locations of
specific properties with regard to the depicted noise exposure
contours, or in interpreting the Noise Exposure Maps to resolve
questions concerning, for example, which properties should be covered
by the provisions of Section 47506 of the Act. These functions are
inseparable from the ultimate land use control and planning
responsibilities of local government. These local responsibilities are
not changed in any way under 14 CFR part 150 or through FAA's review of
Noise Exposure Maps. Therefore, the responsibility for the detailed
overlaying of noise exposure contours onto the map depicting properties
on the surface rests exclusively with the airport operator that
submitted those maps, or with those public agencies and planning
agencies with which consultation is required under Section 47503 of the
Act. The FAA has relied on the certification by the airport operator,
under 14 CFR 150.21, that the statutorily required consultation has
been accomplished.

FAA's evaluation of the maps are available for examination by
