Airport (CLT), Charlotte, NC

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its 
determination that the Noise Exposure Maps (NEMs) submitted by the City 
of Charlotte for Charlotte Douglas International Airport under the 
provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. (Aviation Safety and Noise 
Abatement Act (hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'')) and 14 CFR part 
150 (hereinafter referred to as ``Part 150'') are in compliance with 
applicable requirements.

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the FAA's compliance 
determination on the NEMs is April 12, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aaron Braswell, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Memphis Airports District Office, 2600 Thousand Oaks 
Blvd., Suite 2250, Memphis, TN 38118, 901-322-8192.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds 
that the NEMs submitted for the Charlotte Douglas International Airport 
Airport (CLT) are in compliance with applicable requirements of Part 
150, effective April 12, 2016. Under the Act, an airport operator 
(hereinafter referred to as ``Sponsor'') may submit to the FAA NEMs 
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 that the Sponsor develop its 
NEMs in consultation with interested and affected parties in the local 
community, government agencies, and persons using the airport. The FAA 
has relied on the certification by the City of Charlotte, under Sec.  
150.21 of Part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has been 
accomplished.
    An airport Sponsor who has submitted NEMs that are found by the FAA 
to be in compliance with the requirements of Part 150 may submit a 
Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) for FAA approval which sets forth the 
measures the Sponsor 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 NEMs and accompanying 
documentation submitted by City of Charlotte. The documentation that 
constitutes the ``NEMs'' as defined in Sec.  150.7 of Part 150 
includes: Exhibit 3-1, Existing (2015) Noise Contour; Exhibit 4-1, 
Future (2020) Noise Contour; Exhibit C-11, Runway 18L Flight Tracks; 
Exhibit C-12, Runway 18C Flight Tracks; Exhibit C-13, Runway 18R Flight 
Tracks; Exhibit C-14, Runway 36R Flight Tracks; Exhibit C-15, Runway 
36C Flight Tracks; Exhibit C-16, Runway 36L Flight Tracks; Exhibit C-
17, Runway 05 Flight Tracks; Exhibit C-18, Runway 23 Flight Tracks; 
Exhibit C-19, Helicopter Flight Tracks; Table C-1, Distribution of 
Average Daily Operations by Aircraft Category Existing (2015) 
Conditions; Table C-2, Runway End Utilization--Existing (2015) 
Conditions; Table C-3, Arrival Flight Track Utilization Percentages 
Existing (2015) and Future (2020) Conditions; Table C-4, Departure 
Flight Track Utilization Percentages Existing (2015) and Future (2020) 
Conditions; Table C-5, Departure Trip Length Distribution Existing 
(2015) Conditions; Table C-6, Aircraft Engine Run-Ups--Existing (2015) 
Conditions; Table C-7, Distribution of Average Daily Operations by 
Aircraft Type Future (2020) Conditions; Table C-8, Departure Trip 
Length Distribution--Future (2020) Conditions; Table C-9, Ground Run-Up 
Operations--Future (2020) Conditions; Appendix F. The FAA has 
determined that these NEMs and accompanying documentation are in 
compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is 
effective on April 12, 2016.
    FAA's determination on the airport Sponsor's NEMs 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 Sponsor's data, information, or plans, and 
is not a commitment to approve a NCP 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 NEM 
submitted under Sec.  47503 of the Act, it is emphasized that the FAA 
is not involved in any way in determining the relative locations of 
specific properties with regard to the depicted noise exposure 
contours, or in interpreting the NEMs to resolve questions concerning, 
for example, which properties should be covered by the provisions of 
Sec.  47506 of the Act. These functions are inseparable from the 
ultimate land use control and planning responsibilities of local 
government and remain unchanged by FAA's NEM compliance determination 
under Part 150. The responsibility for the detailed overlaying of noise 
exposure contours onto the map depicting properties on the surface 
rests exclusively with the airport Sponsor that submitted those maps, 
or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which 
consultation is required under Sec.  47503 of the Act.
    Copies of the full NEM documentation are available for
