    DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

    Federal Aviation Administration

    Noise Compatibility Program for Antonio B. Won Pat International
    Airport, Tamuning, Guam

    AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation.

    ACTION: Acceptance of the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport
    noise exposure map.

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

    SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
    determination that the noise exposure map submitted by the Antonio B.
    Won Pat International Airport Authority for the Antonio B. Won Pat
    International Airport is compliant with applicable statutory and
    regulatory requirements.

    DATES: The effective date of the FAA's determination on the noise
    exposure map is April 28, 2025.

    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Nishimura, 300 Ala Moana
    Boulevard, Room 7-128, Honolulu, Hawaii 96850, telephone: 808-312-6030.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA determined the noise exposure map
    submitted by the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport Authority for
    the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport, is in compliance with
    applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, effective April 28,
    2025. Under title 49, United States Code (U.S.C.) section 47503, an
    airport operator may submit to the FAA, noise exposure maps depicting
    non-compatible uses as of the date such map

    [[Page 18889]]

    is submitted, a description of estimated aircraft operations during a
    forecast period that is at least five years in the future and how those
    operations will affect the map. A noise exposure map must be prepared
    in accordance with title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part
    150, the regulations promulgated pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 47502 and
    developed in consultation with public agencies and planning authorities
    in the area surrounding the airport, state and Federal agencies,
    interested and affected parties in the local community, and
    aeronautical users of the airport. In addition, an airport operator
    that submitted a noise exposure map, which the FAA determined is
    compliant with statutory and regulatory requirements, may submit a
    noise compatibility program for FAA approval that sets forth measures
    the operator has taken or proposes to take to reduce existing non-
    compatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional non-
    compatible uses.
        The FAA completed its review of the noise exposure map and
    supporting documentation submitted by the Antonio B. Won Pat
    International Airport Authority and determined the noise exposure map
    and accompanying documentation are compliant with applicable
    requirements. The documentation that constitutes the Noise Exposure Map
    includes: ``Figure ES-1. Existing Condition (2024) Noise Exposure Map''
    and ``Figure ES-2. Future Conditions (2029) Noise Exposure Map'' which
    addresses the current and forecast NEM graphics, and the ``Antonio B.
    Won Pat International Airport, 14 CFR part 150, Noise Exposure Map
    Update'', dated December 2024, that compiles all other applicable
    narrative, graphic, or tabular representations of the data, including,
    but limited to, airport description, flight track data, aircraft
    operations data, aviation forecast data, on-airport and off-airport
    land use information, etc. as required by 14 CFR 150.101 and 49 U.S.C.
    sections 47503 and 47506. This determination is effective on April 28,
    205. FAA's determination on an airport's noise exposure map is limited
    to a finding that the noise exposure map was developed in accordance
    with the 49 U.S.C. 47503 and 47506 and procedures contained in 14 CFR
    part 150, appendix A. FAA's acceptance of an NEM does not constitute
    approval of the applicant'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 within noise exposure contours depicted on a
    noise exposure map, 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 contours or in interpreting the noise
    exposure maps to resolve questions concerning, for example, which
    properties should be covered by the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47506.
    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 review and acceptance of a noise exposure map. 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 a noise exposure
    map or with those public and planning agencies with which consultation
    is required under 49 U.S.C. 47503. The FAA relied on the certification
    by the airport operator, under of 14 CFR 150.21 that the required
    consultations and opportunity for public review has been accomplished
    during the development of the noise exposure maps. Copies of the noise
    exposure map and supporting documentation and the FAA's evaluation of
    the noise exposure maps are available for examination at the following
    locations:
