DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Noise Compatibility Program for Camarillo Airport, Ventura
County, California
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Acceptance of Camarillo Airport Noise Exposure Map.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure map submitted by County of
Ventura for Camarillo Airport is compliant with applicable statutory
and regulatory requirements.
DATES: The effective date of the FAA's determination on the noise
exposure map is June 6, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gail M. Campos, Environmental
Protection Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, 777 South
Aviation Boulevard, Suite 150, El Segundo, California 90045. Telephone
424-405-7269.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA determined the noise exposure map
submitted by the County of Ventura for Camarillo Airport, is in
compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements,
effective June 6, 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 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 County of Ventura and
determined the noise exposure map and accompanying documentation are
compliant with applicable requirements. The documentation that
constitutes the Noise Exposure Map includes: ``Exhibit 1--2022 Existing
Noise Exposure Map'' and ``Exhibit 2--2027 Noise Exposure Map'' which
addresses the current and forecast NEM graphics. The ``Camarillo
Airport 14 CFR part 150 Noise Exposure Map Update,'' dated December
2023, complies all other applicable narrative, graphic, and tabular
representations of the data including airport description, flight track
data, aircraft operations data, aviation forecast data, on-airport and
off-airport land use information as required by 14 CFR 150.101 and 49
U.S.C. sections 47503 and 47506. This
[[Page 24698]]
determination is effective on June 6, 2025. 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. sections
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 section 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:
1. Federal Aviation Administration, Los Angeles Airports District
Office, 777 South Aviation Boulevard, Suite 150, El Segundo, California
90045.
2. Camarillo Airport, County of Ventura, 555 Airport Way, Suite B,
Camarillo, California 93010.
Questions may be directed to the individual listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice.
Issued in El Segundo, California on June 6, 2025.

Acting Director, Airports Division, AWP-600, Western--Pacific Region.
