Noise Exposure Map Notice; Shreveport Regional Airport; 
Shreveport, Louisiana

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its 
determination that the noise exposure maps submitted by the Shreveport 
Airport Authority for Shreveport Regional Airport are in compliance 
with applicable requirements.

DATES:  Effective Date: The effective date of the FAA's determination 
on the noise exposure maps is March 23, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  DOT/FAA Southwest Region, Tim Tandy, 
Environmental Protection Specialist, ASW-640D, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, 
Fort Worth, Texas 76177. Telephone (817) 222-5644.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds 
that the noise exposure maps submitted for Shreveport Regional Airport 
are in compliance with applicable requirements of Part 150, effective 
March 23, 2018. Under 49 U.S.C. 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 Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) 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 Shreveport Airport Authority. The 
documentation that constitutes the ``noise exposure maps'' as defined 
in section 150.7 of Part 150 includes:
    Chapters 2 and 3 of ``14 CFR Pat 150 Noise Exposure Maps, October 
2015''; Exhibit 1 (2014 Noise Exposure Map), Exhibit 2 (2020 Noise 
Exposure Map), Exhibit 2-1 (Shreveport Regional Airport and Immediate 
Environs), Exhibit 2-1 (Shreveport Regional Airport Aerial View), 
Exhibit 2-3 (Instrument Landing System/Localizer Approaches), Exhibit 
2-4 (Area Navigation Approaches), Exhibit 3-1 (Runway 6 Arrival Flight 
Tracks), Exhibit 3-2 (Runway 6 Departure Flight Tracks), Exhibit 3-3

Regional Airport Aircraft Maintenance Runup Areas, Exhibit 3-11 (2014 
Noise Exposure), Exhibit 3-12 (2020 Forecast Noise Exposure), Exhibit 
3-13 (Comparison of 2004 and 2014 Noise Exposure), Exhibit 3-14

and 2014); Table 2-1 (Current and Recommended Optimum Runway Lengths),

Operations by Month--2014), Table 3-2 (Annual Aircraft Operations by 
INM Aircraft Type, User Category--2014), Table 3-3 (Calculation of 
Normalization Factors for Deriving Annual Operations by Aircraft Type), 
Table 3-4 (Aircraft Operations by Aircraft Category, Operation Type, 
and Time of Day--2014), Table 3-5 (Average Annual Day Aircraft 
Operations by INM Aircraft Type and Time of Day, Itinerant Operations--
2014), Table 3-6 (Average Annual Day Aircraft Operations by INM 
Aircraft Type and Time of Day, Local Operations--2014), Table 3-7 
(Arrival Runway Use Percentages--2014), Table 3-8 (Departure Runway Use 
Percentages--2014), Table 3-9 (Touch and Go Runway Use Percentages--
2014), Table 3-10 (INM Departure Stage Lengths Categories), Table 3-11 
(Aircraft Flight Profile Stage Length Percentages by INM Aircraft 
Type), Table 3-12 (Engine Maintenance Runup Data Used for Noise 
Modeling--2014), Table 3-13 (Annual Operations Summary--2020), Table 3-
14 (Activity Percentage by Aircraft Category, Operation Type, and Time 
of Day--2020), Table 3-15 (Annual Aircraft Operations by Aircraft 
Category, Operation Type, and Time of Day--2020), Table 3-16 (Average 
Annual Day Aircraft Operations by INM Aircraft Type and Time of Day, 
Itinerant Operations--2020), Table 3-17 (Average Annual Day Aircraft 
Operations by INM Aircraft Type and Time of Day, Local Operations--
2020), Table 3-18 (Departure Stage Length Proportions by Aircraft 
Category--2020), Table 3-19 (Engine Maintenance Runup Data Used for 
Noise Modeling--2020). The FAA has determined that these noise exposure 
maps and accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable 
requirements. This determination is effective on March 23, 2018.
    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 FAR 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

[[Page 14716]]

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 FAR 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: Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood 
Parkway, Fort Worth, Texas; Henry L. Thompson, Director of Airports, 
Shreveport Airport Authority, 5103 Hollywood Avenue, Shreveport, LA 
71109. Questions may be directed to the individual named above under 
the heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
