Noise Exposure Map Notice for LA/Ontario International Airport, 
Ontario, California

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its 
determination that the noise exposure maps submitted by Los Angeles 
World Airports, for LA/Ontario International Airport under the 
provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. (Aviation Safety and Noise 
Abatement Act) and 14 CFR part 150 are in compliance with applicable 
requirements.

DATES: The effective date of the FAA's determination on the noise 
exposure maps is April 6, 2016 and applicable March 29, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Victor Globa, Environmental Protection 
Specialist, Federal Aviation Administration, Los Angeles Airports 
District Office, Mailing Address: P.O. Box 92007, Los Angeles, 
California 90009-2007. Street Address: 15000 Aviation Boulevard, 
Hawthorne, California 90261. Telephone: 310/725-3637.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds 
that the noise exposure maps submitted for LA/Ontario International 
Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of Title 14, 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150 (hereinafter referred to as 
``Part 150''), effective March 29, 2016. Under 49 U.S.C. Section 47503 
of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (hereinafter referred to 
as ``the Act''), an airport operator may submit to the FAA noise 
exposure maps which meet applicable regulations and which depict non-
compatible land uses as of the date of submission of such maps, a 
description of projected aircraft operations, and the ways in which 
such operations will affect such maps. The Act requires such maps to be 
developed in consultation with interested and affected parties in the 
local community, government agencies, and persons using the airport. An 
airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps that are found 
by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of 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 take to reduce existing non-compatible uses and 
prevent the introduction of additional non-compatible uses.
    The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure maps and 
accompanying documentation submitted by Los Angeles World Airports. The 
documentation that constitutes the ``Noise Exposure Maps'' as defined 
in Section 150.7 of part 150 includes: Figure 13, Existing Conditions 
(2015) Noise Exposure Map; and Figure 14, Forecast Conditions (2020) 
Noise Exposure Map. The Noise Exposure Maps contain current and 
forecast information including the depiction of: The airport and its 
boundary; the runway configurations; land uses such as residential, 
commercial, industrial, and open space/recreational land use; locations 
of noise sensitive public buildings (such as schools, hospitals, and 
historic properties on or eligible for the National Register of 
Historic Places); and the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) 65, 
70, and 75 decibel airport noise contours resulting from existing and 
forecast airport operations. The frequency of airport operations is 
described in Section 2.1.2 of the Noise Exposure Map Update report. 
Flight tracks associated with LA/Ontario International Airport are 
depicted in Figures 8 through 11. The LA/Ontario International Airport 
noise monitoring system is described in Appendix B, Program Element 
6.5, and monitoring locations are shown on Exhibits 8, 9, 12, 13, 14 
and 15 of the Noise Exposure Map Update report. Estimates of the number 
of people residing within the CNEL contours is located in Section 3.2.2 
of the Noise Exposure Map Update report. The FAA has determined that 
these noise exposure maps and accompanying documentation are in 
compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is 
applicable on March 29, 2016.
    FAA's determination on an airport operator's noise exposure maps is 
limited to a finding that the maps were developed in accordance with 
the procedures contained in Appendix A of part 150. Such determination 
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 to noise exposure 
contours depicted on a noise exposure map submitted under Section 47503 
of the Act, 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 Section 47506 of the 
Act. 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 Part 150 or through 
FAA's review of noise exposure maps. 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 those maps, or with those public agencies and 
planning agencies with which consultation is required under Section 
47503 of the Act. The FAA has relied on the certification by the 
airport operator, under Section 150.21 of Part 150, that the 
statutorily required consultation has been accomplished.
    Copies of the full noise exposure map documentation and of the 
FAA's evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the 
following locations:
