Notice of Receipt and Request for Review of Noise Compatibility Program

AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

SUMMARY:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for Teterboro Airport by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. This program was submitted subsequent to a determination by FAA that associated noise exposure maps submitted for Teterboro Airport were in compliance with applicable requirements, effective June 15, 2017. The proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or disapproved on or before January 11, 2023. This notice also announces the availability of this noise compatibility program for public review and comment.

DATES:

The effective date of start of FAA's review of the noise compatibility program is July 15, 2022. The public comment period ends September 13, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Andrew Brooks, Regional Environmental Program Manager, Airports Division, Federal Aviation Administration, 1 Aviation Plaza, Room 516, Jamaica, NY 11434. Phone Number: 718-553-2511. Comments on the proposed noise compatibility program should also be submitted to the above office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This notice announces that the FAA is reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program (NCP) for Teterboro Airport which will be approved or disapproved on or before January 11, 2023. This notice also announces the availability of this program for public review and comment.

An airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps (NEM) that are found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of title 49, United States Code (U.S.C.) (Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter referred to as "the Act") and Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150 (14 CFR 150), promulgated pursuant to the Act, may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets forth the measures the operator has taken or proposes to reduce existing non-compatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional non-compatible uses. The FAA previously determined that the NEMs for Teterboro Airport were in compliance with applicable requirements under 14 CFR 150, effective June 15, 2017 (Noise Exposure Map Notice for Teterboro Airport, Teterboro, New Jersey, volume 82, Federal Register , pages 28545-6, June 22, 2017).

The FAA has formally received the NCP for Teterboro Airport on July 7, 2022. The airport operator has requested that the FAA review this material and that the noise mitigation measures, to be implemented jointly by the airport and surrounding communities, be approved as a NCP under section 47504 of the Act. Preliminary review of the submitted material indicates that it conforms to the requirements for the submittal of NCPs, but that further review will be necessary prior to approval or disapproval of the program for Teterboro Airport. The formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, was initiated on July 15, 2022 and will be completed on or before January 11, 2023.


[top] The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the provisions of 14 CFR 150.33. The primary considerations in the evaluation process are whether the proposed measures may reduce the level of aviation safety, create an undue burden on interstate or foreign commerce, or be reasonably consistent with obtaining the goal of reducing existing non-compatible land uses and preventing the introduction of additional non-compatible land uses. page 43595

Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed program with specific reference to these factors. All comments, other than those properly addressed to local land use authorities, will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable. Copies of the proposed NCP for Teterboro Airport are available for examination online at http://panynjpart150.com/TEB_FNCP.asp.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has also made a hard copy of the document available for review at the Office of the General Manager for Teterboro Airport, located at 90 Moonachie Avenue, Teterboro, New Jersey. Interested parties can contact the office at (201) 807-4020 to arrange for a review.

Questions regarding this notice may be directed to the individual named above under the heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT .

Issued in Jamaica, NY, on July 15, 2022.

Director, Airports Division, Eastern Region.
