SUBCHAPTER I - AIRPORTS
from the operations of an airport. This
part also identifies those land uses
which are normally compatible with
various levels of exposure to noise by
individuals. It provides technical assistance to airport operators, in conjunction with other local, State, and
Federal authorities, to prepare and
execute appropriate noise compatibility planning and implementation
programs.

Subpart A - General Provisions
Section 150.1 Scope and purpose.
This part prescribes the procedures,
standards, and methodology governing
the development, submission, and review of airport noise exposure maps
and airport noise compatibility programs, including the process for evaluating and approving or disapproving
those programs. It prescribes single
systems for - (a) measuring noise at
airports and surrounding areas that
generally provides a highly reliable relationship between projected noise exposure and surveyed reaction of people
to noise; and (b) determining exposure
of individuals to noise that results

Applicability.

This part applies to the airport noise
compatibility planning activities of
the operators of  - public use airports, - 
including heliports, as that term is
used in section 47501(2) as amended (49
U.S.C. 47501 et seq.) and as defined in
section 47102(17) of 49 U.S.C.
[Doc. No. FAA-2004-19158, 69 FR 57625, Sept.
24, 2004]

Section 150.5

Limitations of this part.

(a) Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq.,
this part provides for airport noise
compatibility planning and land use
programs necessary to the purposes of
those provisions. No submittal of a
map, or approval or disapproval, in
whole or part, of any map or program
submitted under this part is a determination concerning the acceptability
or unacceptability of that land use
under Federal, State, or local law.
(b) Approval of a noise compatibility
program under this part is neither a
commitment by the FAA to financially
assist in the implementation of the
program, nor a determination that all
measures covered by the program are
eligible for grant-in-aid funding from
the FAA.
(c) Approval of a noise compatibility
program under this part does not by
itself constitute an FAA implementing
action. A request for Federal action or
approval to implement specific noise
compatibility measures may be required, and an FAA decision on the request may require an environmental
assessment of the proposed action, pursuant to the National Environmental
Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332 et seq.) and
guidelines.
