Noise Compatibility Program Notice; Lafayette Regional Airport; 
Lafayette, Louisiana

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation.

ACTION:  Notice.

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

SUMMARY:  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it 
is reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted 
for Lafayette Regional Airport under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 
et. seq (the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter 
referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR part 150 by Lafayette Airport 
Commission. This program was submitted subsequent to a determination by 
FAA that associated noise exposure maps submitted under 14 CFR part 150 
for Lafayette Regional Airport were in compliance with applicable 
requirements, effective April 4, 2012, with Federal Register 
announcement published April 13, 2102. The proposed noise compatibility 
program will be approved or disapproved on or before November 24, 2015.

DATES:  The effective date of the start of FAA's review of the noise 
compatibility program is May 28, 2015. The public comment period ends 
July 27, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  DOT/FAA Southwest Region, Tim Tandy, 
Environmental Protection Specialist, ASW-640D, 2601 Meacham Boulevard, 
Fort Worth, Texas 76137. Telephone (817) 222-5644.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA is 
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program for Lafayette Regional 
Airport which will be approved or disapproved on or before November 24, 
2015. This notice also announces the availability of this program for 
public review and comment.
    An airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps that are 
found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of Federal 
Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 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 has formally received the noise compatibility program for 
Lafayette Regional Airport, effective on May 28, 2015. 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 noise compatibility program 
under section 47504 of the Act. Preliminary review of the submitted 
material indicates that it conforms to FAR Part 150 requirements for 
the submittal of noise compatibility programs, but that further review 
will be necessary prior to approval or disapproval of the program. The 
formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, will be 
completed on or before November 24, 2015.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the 
provisions of 14 CFR part 150, section 150.33. The primary 
considerations in the evaluation process are whether the proposed 
measures may reduce the level of aviation safety or create an undue 
burden on interstate or foreign commerce, and whether they are 
reasonably consistent with obtaining the goal of reducing existing non-
compatible land uses and preventing the introduction of additional non-
compatible land uses.
    Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed program 
with specific reference to these factors. All comments relating to 
these factors, other than those properly addressed to local land use 
authorities, will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable. 
Copies of the noise exposure maps and the proposed noise compatibility 
program are available for examination at the following locations:
    Federal Aviation Administration, 2601 Meacham Boulevard, Fort 
Worth, Texas.
     Steven L. Picou, Executive Director, Lafayette Airport Commission, 
222 Tower Drive, Lafayette, LA 70508.
    Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the 
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, May 28, 2015.

Manager, Airports Division.
