Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review for 
Hawthorne Municipal Airport, Hawthorne, California

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is 
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for 
Hawthorne Municipal Airport under the Aviation Safety and Noise 
Abatement Act, (hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150 by the City of Hawthorne, Los 
Angeles County, California. This program was submitted subsequent to a 
determination by FAA that associated noise exposure maps submitted 
under 14 CFR part 150 for Hawthorne Municipal Airport were in 
compliance with applicable requirements, effective April 11, 2014, 79 
FR 24488-24489. The proposed noise compatibility program will be 
approved or disapproved on or before December 20, 2017.

DATES:  The effective date of the start of FAA's review of the noise 
compatibility program is June 23, 2017. The public comment period ends 
August 22, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Victor Globa, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Los Angeles Airports District Office, 15000 Aviation 
Boulevard, Room 3000, Lawndale, California 90261, Telephone: 310/725-
3637. 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 for Hawthorne 
Municipal Airport which will be approved or disapproved on or before 
December 20, 2017. 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 14 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 reduce existing non-compatible uses and prevent 
the introduction of additional non-compatible uses.
    The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for 
Hawthorne Municipal Airport, effective on December 20, 2016. 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 14 CFR 
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 December 20, 
2017.
    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, Western-Pacific Region Office, 
Airports Division, Room 3012, 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Lawndale,
