Noise Exposure Map Notice; Great Falls International Airport, 
Great Falls, MT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Noise Exposure Map notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its 
determination that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted by the Great Falls 
International Airport Authority for the Great Falls International 
Airport under the provisions of 40 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. (Aviation 
Safety and Noise Abatement Act) and 14 CFR 150 are in compliance with 
applicable requirements.

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the FAA's determination on 
the Noise Exposure Maps is January 27, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Scott Eaton at the Federal 
Aviation Administration, FAA Building, Ste. 2, 2725 Skyway Drive, 
Helena, Montana 59602-1213, Telephone 406-449-5291.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This Notice announces that the FAA finds 
that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted for Great Falls International 
Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of Title 14 Code 
of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150, effective January 27, 2016. 
Under 49 U.S.C., Section 47503, Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act 
(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 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 the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 
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 the Great Falls International 
Airport Authority. The documentation that constitutes the ``noise 
exposure maps'' as defined in CFR part 150 Section 150.7 includes: Part 
150 Noise Exposure Map Update Report, Figure 1 Existing (2015) Airport 
Layout and Land Use Base Map, Figure 2 Forecast (2020) Airport layout 
and Land Use Base Map, Figure 5 Runway 3/21 Modeled Arrival and 
Departure Flight Tracks, Figure 6 Runway 3/21 Modeled Flight Pattern 
Tracks, Figure 7 Runway 16/34 Modeled Arrival and Departure Flight 
Tracks, Figure 8 Runway 16/34 Modeled Flight Pattern Tracks, Figure 9 
Runway 7/25 Modeled Arrival and Departure Flight Tracks, Figure 10 
Runway 7/25 Modeled Flight Pattern, Figure 11 Helicopter Modeled 
Arrival and Departure Flight Tracks, Figure 12 Existing Condition 
(2015) Noise Exposure Map, Figure 13 Forecast Condition (2020) Noise 
Exposure Map, Appendix F Forecast of Aircraft Operations at GTF 2015 
and 2020, Appendix J Non-Standard Modeling Profiles Request Letter, 
Appendix K FAA Approval of Non-Standard Modeling Profiles, and Appendix 
L Public Consultation. The FAA has determined that these noise exposure 
maps and accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable 
requirements. This determination is effective on January 27, 2016.
    The 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 CFR part 150. Such 
determination does not constitute approval of the airport operator's 
data, information or plans, or a commitment to approve a Noise 
Compatibility Program or to fund 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 exposure 
contours, or in interpreting the Noise Exposure Maps to resolve 
questions concerning, for example, which properties should be covered 
by the

[[Page 6099]]

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 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 are available 
for examination at the following locations:

Office, FAA Building, Ste. 2, 2725 Skyway Drive, Helena, MT 59602.
    Great Falls International Airport, 2800 Terminal Drive, Great 
Falls, MT 59404.
    Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the 
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
