SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Correction

    In the Federal Register of April 3, 2025, in Vol. 90 No. 63, on 
page 14681, correct the first column second paragraph of Supplementary 
Information to read:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 30, 2022, City of Laredo submitted 
noise exposure maps (NEMs), descriptions and other supporting 
documentation for Laredo International Airport, for FAA's review and 
acceptance. An NEM must include 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 and other 
information. The FAA completed its review of the NEMs and supporting 
documentation and determined the NEMs comply with the applicable 
statutory and regulatory requirements. That determination was effective 
on August 25, 2022. FAA's determinations for the NEMs submitted by City 
of Laredo is limited to a finding that the maps were developed in 
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47503 and the procedures in Appendix A of 14

[[Page 25423]]

CFR part 150. FAA's determination does not constitute approval of the 
City of Laredo data, information or plans, or constitute 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 an NEM 
associated with this NCP it should be noted 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 NEMs 
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 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 NEMs. Therefore, 
the responsibility for the detailed overlaying of noise exposure 
contours onto the map depicting properties on the surface rests 
exclusively with the City of Laredo that submitted the NEMs or with 
those public agencies and planning agencies with which consultation is 
required. The FAA relied on the certification by the City of Laredo 
this required consultation was accomplished per 14 CFR 150.21 and 49 
U.S.C. 47503.

    Issued in Fort Worth, TX, on June 12, 2025.
