SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This notice announces that the FAA is reviewing a proposed NCP Update for the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. As required by Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations part 150 (hereinafter referred to as Part 150), the NCP Update will be approved or disapproved (other than the proposed use of flight procedures for noise control) on or before April 10, 2023.

[top] Under the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. ), an airport operator (hereinafter referred to as Sponsor) who has submitted NEMs
The FAA has formally received the NCP Update for the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, effective on October 12, 2022. Broward County, Florida, through its Aviation Department, requested the FAA review this material and that the noise mitigation measures, to be implemented jointly by the Sponsor and surrounding communities, be approved as a NCP Update under the Act. Preliminary review of the submitted material indicates that it conforms to Part 150 requirements for the submittal of an NCP, but that further review is necessary prior to approval or disapproval of the NCP Update. The formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, will be completed on or before April 10, 2023, with the exception of NCP measures that propose the use of flight procedures for noise control. A public hearing on the NCP was held by the Sponsor on April 21, 2021
The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the provisions of part 150, 105.33. The primary considerations in the evaluation process are whether the proposed measures may reduce the level of aviation safety or create an undue burden on interstate or foreign commerce, and whether they are reasonably consistent with obtaining the goal of reducing existing non-compatible land uses and preventing the introduction of additional non-compatible land uses.
Each airport NCP/NCP Update developed in accordance with part 150 is a local program, not a Federal program. The FAA does not substitute its judgment for that of the Sponsor with respect to which measures should be recommended for action. The FAA's approval or disapproval of each specific measure proposed by a Sponsor in an NCP/NCP Update is determined by applying approval criteria prescribed in §?150.35(b) of Part 150. Only measures that meet the approval criteria can be approved and considered for Federal funding eligibility. FAA approval or disapproval of a measure only indicates whether that measure would, if implemented, be consistent with the purposes of Part 150. When a measure is disapproved by the FAA, Sponsors are encouraged to work with their communities and the FAA, outside of the part 150 process as necessary, to implement initiatives that provide noise benefits for the surrounding community.
Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed NCP Update with specific reference to these factors. To maximize the effectiveness of comments and the FAA's understanding of them, comments should be as specific as possible, identifying the concern(s) as well as suggested or desired resolution to the concern(s). When possible, quote text and cite details such as page and section numbers, NCP Update measure number, etc. to which the comment(s) pertain. This commenting procedure is intended to ensure that substantive comments and concerns are made available to the FAA in a timely manner so that the FAA has an opportunity to address them in its Record of Approval. All comments in their entirety become part of the public record, including any personal information provided in the comment including name, address, phone number, etc. All relevant comments, other than those properly addressed to local land use authorities, will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable.
Copies of the the proposed NCP Update are available for examination online at www.fllpart150.com and by appointment at the following location: Federal Aviation Administration, Orlando Airports District Office, 8427 SouthPark Circle, Suite 524, Orlando, Florida 32819.
Please direct questions or requests to arrange an appointment to review the NCP Update document to the individual named above under the heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT .
