Noise Exposure Map Notice; Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program 
and Request for Review: Jackson Hole Airport, Jackson, WY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Noise Exposure Map notice and receipt of Noise Compatibility 
Program and request for review.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its 
determination that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted by the Jackson 
Hole Airport Board for the Jackson Hole Airport in Jackson, Wyoming, 
under the provisions of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act and 
FAA's ensuing regulations, are in compliance with applicable 
requirements. The FAA also announces that it is reviewing a proposed 
Noise Compatibility Program that was submitted for the Jackson Hole 
Airport under FAA's regulations in conjunction with the Noise Exposure 
Maps, and that this program will be approved or disapproved on or 
before September 19, 2018.

DATES: The applicability date of the FAA's determination on the Noise 
Exposure Maps and of the start of its review of the associated Noise 
Compatibility Program is March 23, 2018. The public comment period ends 
May 22, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Kandice Krull at the Federal 
Aviation Administration, Denver Airports District Office, 26805 E 68th 
Ave, Suite 224, Denver, Colorado 80249-6361, Telephone 303-342-1261, 
Email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds 
that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted for the Jackson Hole Airport are 
in compliance with applicable requirements of Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) part 150, applicable March 23, 2018. Furthermore, FAA 
is reviewing a proposed Noise Compatibility Program for the Jackson 
Hole Airport that which be approved or disapproved on or before 
September 19, 2018. This notice also announces the availability of this 
Program for public review and comment.
    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 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 Jackson Hole Airport Board submitted to the FAA on March 21, 
2018 Noise Exposure Maps, descriptions and other documentation that 
were produced during the Jackson Hole Airport part 150 Study conducted 
between September 9, 2013 and March 21, 2018. It was requested that the 
FAA review this material as the Noise Exposure Maps, as described in 
section 47503 of the Act, 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.
    The FAA has completed its review of the Noise Exposure Maps and 
accompanying documentation submitted by the Jackson Airport Board. The 
documentation that constitutes the ``Noise Exposure Maps'' as defined 
in CFR part 150 section 150.7 includes: Jackson Hole Airport 14 CFR 
part 150 Study Update, Updated Noise Exposure Maps, Figure 1-3 Airport 
Layout, Figure 1-7 Noise Monitor Sites, Figure 1-8 Generalized Existing 
Zoning, Figure 4-3 Modeled South Flow Flight Tracks, Figure 4-4 Modeled 
North Flight Tracks, Figure 4-7 2014 Noise Exposure Map on Existing 
Land Use, and Figure 9-1 2020 Noise Exposure Map on Future Land Use. 
The FAA has determined that these Noise Exposure Maps and accompanying 
documentation are in compliance with applicable

[[Page 14714]]

requirements. This determination is applicable on March 23, 2018.
    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 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.
    The FAA has formally received the Noise Compatibility Program for 
the Jackson Hole Airport, also effective on March 23, 2018. Preliminary 
review of the submitted material indicates that it conforms to the 
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 September 19, 2018.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the 
provisions of part 150, section 150.33. The primary considerations in 
the evaluation process are whether the proposed measures may reduce the 
level of aviation safety, create an undue burden on interstate or 
foreign commerce, or be 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, other than those properly addressed to 
local land use authorities, will be considered by the FAA to the extent 
practicable.
    Copies of the full Noise Exposure Map documentation and the 
proposed Noise Compatibility Program are available for examination at 
the following locations: www.Jac150study.com.
