action may be reviewed at this same
location.
This
notice announces that the FAA finds
that the noise exposure maps submitted
for Bob Hope Airport are in compliance
with applicable requirements of 14 Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150
(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘Part 150’’),
effective October 10, 2013. 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 noncompatible 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 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 Burbank-GlendalePasadena Airport Authority. The
documentation that constitutes the
‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’ as defined in
section 150.7 of Part 150 includes:
Exhibit 1, 2012 Noise Exposure Contour
(Existing Condition); Exhibit 2, 2017
Noise Exposure Contours (Forecast
Condition). The FAA has determined
that these Noise Exposure Maps and
accompanying documentation are in
compliance with applicable

requirements. This determination is
effective on October 10, 2013.
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
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
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 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:

(2) Appeals: Except as provided in
§ 106.40(e), any person may submit an
appeal to our actions in accordance with
the Appeals procedures found in
§§ 106.110 through 106.130.

the proposed special permit (e.g.,
alternative packaging, test, procedure or
activity), including as appropriate,
written descriptions, drawings, flow
charts, plans and other supporting
documents, etc.
(4) Application for Preemption
Determination: With the exception of
highway routing matters covered under
49 U.S.C. 5125(c), any person directly
affected by any requirement of a State,
political subdivision, or Indian tribe
may apply to the Chief Counsel for a
determination whether that requirement
is preempted by § 107.202(a), (b) or (c).
The application must include the text of
the State or political subdivision or
Indian tribe requirement for which the
determination is sought; specify each
requirement of the Federal hazardous
materials transportation law, regulations
issued under the Federal hazardous
material transportation law, or
hazardous material transportation
security regulations or directives issued
by the Secretary of Homeland Security
with which the applicant seeks the State
or political subdivision or Indian tribe
requirement to be compared; explain
why the applicant believes the State or
political subdivision or Indian tribe
requirement should or should not be
preempted under the standards of
§ 107.202; and state how the applicant
is affected by the State or political
subdivision or Indian tribe requirement.
(5) Waivers of Preemption: With the
exception of requirements preempted
under 49 U.S.C. 5125(c), any person
may apply to the Chief Counsel for a
waiver of preemption with respect to
any requirement that: (1) The State or
political subdivision thereof or Indian
tribe acknowledges to be preempted
under the Federal hazardous materials
transportation law, or (2) that has been
determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be so preempted. The
Chief Counsel may waive preemption
with respect to such requirement upon
a determination that such requirement
affords an equal or greater level of
protection to the public than is afforded
by the requirements of the Federal
hazardous materials transportation law
or the regulations issued thereunder,
and does not unreasonably burden
commerce.
The information collected under these
application procedures is used in the
review process by PHMSA in
determining the merits of the petitions
for rulemakings and for reconsideration
of rulemakings, as well as applications
for special permits, preemption
determinations, and waivers of
preemption to the HMR. The procedures
governing these petitions for rulemaking
and for reconsideration of rulemakings

are covered in Subpart B of Part 106.
Applications for special permits,
preemption determinations, and waivers
of preemption are covered under
Subparts B and C of Part 107.
Rulemaking procedures enable PHMSA
to determine if a rule change is
necessary, is consistent with public
interest, and maintains a level of safety
equal to or superior to that of current
regulations. Special permit procedures
provide the information required for
analytical purposes to determine if the
requested relief provides for a
comparable level of safety as provided
by the HMR. Preemption procedures
provide information for PHMSA to
determine whether a requirement of a
State, political subdivision, or Indian
tribe is preempted under 49 U.S.C.
5125, or regulations issued thereunder,
or whether a waiver of preemption
should be issued.
