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 Los Angeles World
Airports. The documentation that
constitutes the ‘‘Noise Exposure Maps’’
as defined in Section 150.7 of Part 150
includes: Exhibit 5–1, 2015 Noise
Exposure Map (Existing Conditions)—
Los Angeles International Airport;
Exhibit 5–2, 2020 Noise Exposure Map
(Future Conditions)—Los Angeles
International Airport. The Noise
Exposure Maps contain current and
forecast information including the
depiction of the airport and its
boundary; the runway configurations,
land uses such as residential,
commercial, industrial, and open space/
recreational land use; locations of noise
sensitive public buildings (such as
schools, hospitals, and historic
properties on or eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places); and the
Community Noise Equivalent Level
(CNEL) 65, 70, and 75 decibel airport
noise contours resulting from existing
and forecast airport operations. The
frequency of airport operations is
described in Section 4.6.1 of the Noise
Exposure Map Update report. Flight
tracks associated with Los Angeles
International Airport are depicted in
Exhibits 4–3 thru 4–10a. The Los
Angeles International Airport noise
monitoring system is described in
Section 4.7 and monitoring locations are
shown on Exhibit 4–12 of the Noise
Exposure Map Update report. Estimates
of the number of people residing within
the CNEL contours is located in Section
5.5 of the Noise Exposure Map Update
report. The FAA has determined that
these noise exposure maps and
accompanying documentation are in
compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is
effective on February 12, 2016.
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:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, sec. 2, 109
Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised at
44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days notice to the public for
comment on information collection
activities before seeking approval for
reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically,
FRA invites interested respondents to
comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection
activities regarding (i) whether the

information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (ii)
the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the
burden of the information collection
activities, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (iii) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public by
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)(I)–(iv); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(I)–(iv). FRA believes that
soliciting public comment will promote
its efforts to reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information mandated
by Federal regulations. In summary,
FRA reasons that comments received
will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce
reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it
