The Airport Relations Commission asked me to forward the attached questions to Chad � for him to address af the meeting.

This morning you told us that you would attend MH's August ARC meeting to be held on August 13th at 7pm here at pity Ha�. gtp opeleerta gc aft hange thedthrottle sett ng to edu'ce noisepl5fV�54h� " d��f° �`� �''��6 P`� 6.�5 1. Can ilots fl in 2. Are t he majority of general aviation aircraft coming from the same operator? ��° �"^'�'ye ��'� _<<�� 3. Is the monitoring of the number of these aircraft and the noise they generate included in the Part 150? �(e5 Snab 3'��'��bq 4. Does the number of general aviation flights make the corridor report inaccurate? �o - c�e•�de� ��sks .�,r ca�ti�✓' 5. How many general aviation aircraft does the airport see between 5- 9am and 8-12pm? �� 6. Doesn't a general aviation aircraft that is generating 60db of sound nee o be ��6` ;�io,� monitored? 7. And Robin's question: Jim and Liz, If you haven't already sent the email to Chad about the nan-commercial excursions north of the corridor, 1 suggest that you also ask him to review the take-off pattern on Thurs, Jul 10 from 9:30 PM until about 11:00 PM. There were a very large num er o ights that were north of the corridor that evening that might be interesting to understand. Actually even if you have sent the email, I think it wou(d be a good idea to understand what happened Thursday evening. It will be interesting to understand his comments at the next ARC meeting.

COMIV.�END5 F'AA FOR REJECTING LIMITS ON RIJNWAY; WCIRRIED BY BLOCK-RO�TN�ING The Air Transportation Association has strongly commended the Pederal Avia- tion Adminislration for rejecting Broward County, Florida's, preferred approach to extending a runway at Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport for use by commercial aircraft, which would have included mandatory restrictions on opera- rions to reduce noise impact. "This unprecedented approach would have resulted in approving a runway ex- tension project while at the same time artificially limiting the capacity of that run- way," Katherine Andrus, assistant general counsel for ATA, wrote in July 25 comments submitted to the FAA on its fmal environmental impact statement (FEIS) on the project. In June, the agency announced that it was seelcing public comments on the FEIS, which rejected Broward Couniy's preferred alternative for extending the z�un- way, and chose instead a preferred alternative that includes no restrictions on run- way use (20 ANR 70). Andrus told FAA that it had "wisely opted not to hold the nwway extension (Continr�ed on p. 87) I+Terv Q,r%cans Int'l � � �l; ii� �� '��; t ��: �, �; i�� • ( 4�� • �p ,� ��_ � �!� �. o� r ;�, �, s�. .�. 'r � n ,,, . !° 1 '� :; Louis Armstrong International Auport has decided to restart its residential sound insulation program, which was put ori hold following the devastation of Hur- ricane Katrina, despite the expiration of a Federal Aviatron Adminish•ation grant that would have paid for 80 percent of insulation costs. The airpore's residential sound insulation program began in 1995 and is not large. It includes less than 500 eligible homes, about 260 of which have already been insulated. The airport had an AIP grant that was over five years old with $1.2 million out of the original amount of $2.7 million remaining that the airport wanted to use to help fund insulation of the rernaining homes. However, the FAA. in June tuined down tt�e airport's request to extend the grant and administratively closed it. 'There were extenuating circumstances, explained Mario Rodriquez, deputy di- rector of planuing and development. FAA was concerned that the airport has not updated its Part 150 Airport Noise Mitigation program since 1988. Rodriquez said tliat the airport is currently analyzing whether it should update the Part 150 program. Various methods will be used to fund insulation of about 120 homes that remain (Continued a�i p. 88) Airport Noise Report Ifl �IZIS ISSIIB... Ft. Lauderdale,Kollywood Int't ...

Concerns About Mitigation Beyond 65 DNL But Andrus stressed that ATA remanis concerned about the agency's decision in the FEIS to expand the airport's noise mitigation program "well beyond the 65 DNL contour" under a process commonly refeiYed to as "block-routtding," which is done to extend mitigation to the natural boundaries of neighborhoods. In an earlier inteiview with ANR, Adrus asserted that the use of block-rounding at Bob Hope Airport and Ft. Laud- erdale International had gone "way beyond" what has been done in the past – doubling the number of homes in the Ft. Lauderdale noise mitigation area and accounting for 80 per- cent of the homes in a potential future mitigation area around Bob Hope. ATA plans to ask the FAA to update its guidance on the practice (20 ANR 78). "While we recognize that FAA guidance permits use of Airport Improvement Program (AII') grants to sound-insulate homes outside of the 65 DNL when contiguous to homes within the noise-impacted area `if necessary to achieve equity in the neighborhood', this exception is limited by that same guidance to a`reasonable additional numbe�• of otherwise in- eligible parcels'," Andrus reminded the FAA. "In the case of Ft. Lauderdale, the proposal in the FEIS to expand noise mitigation broadly on the basis of neighbor- hoods or subdivisions, instead oi through a more refined case-by-case analysis, would nearly double the number of propei�ties considered elia ble for federal grants from 1,051 to 2,074 housing units." "This is not a trivial distinction," Adrus asserted. The Final EIS estimates 11iat tlus approach would add over $52 million to the cost of a sound insulation program and $178 million to a purchase assurance/sound insulation prograrn. In what is likely to be an argument that ATA will make to FAA in askiug it to update guidance on block-rounding, An- drus wrote, "Including such a large percentage of housing units outside the 65 DNL wili expend scazce AIP funds that are needed for other, more pressing airport needs. As FAA notes ... grants under the AIP come from the Airport and Air- way Trust Fund, which gets funding not from general tax rev- enue but from user taxes and charges." "While maintaining `neighborhood cohesion' sounds ap- pealing," Andrus told FAA, "it is not a legitimate purpose for expenditure of tke Airport and Airway Trust F'und, which was created `to provide for the expansion and improvement of the Nation's airport and airway systeLn'," she told FAA. FAA Chose Boundaries But it was FA A— not Broward County — who chose the natural boundaries for the blocl�-rounding area that extends beyond the 65 DNL contour at Ft. Lauderdale International, Kent George, director ofAviation for Broward County, ex- plained when asked by ANR to comment on ATA's concerns. And the boundaries were very obvious things, such as canals, a park, and a highway, and were established based on noise exppsure maps drawn ftom modeled estimates of noise levels expected in 2020, he said. After the extended runway opens, the airport plans to conduct a Part 150 airport noise study and update noise con- tours based on actual noise data froin monitored noise levels. "We will look at where the acival noise contours lie" and de- termine how they fit in the biock-rounding process at that point, he explained. George said that the County commissioners provided the FAA with certain principles they wanted to follow in the noise mitigation program for the runway extension, including going beyond the standard 65 DNL requirement, and FAA came out with the block-rounding policy in the FEIS, which he assumes also will be in the agency's Record of I7ecision giving the go-ahead to the project, which is due out in late September of early October. The County commissioners have already decided that they don't want to condemn any homes and, next week, a sound insulation piiot program including 50 homes will begin to determine the best approach for insulation. The County is hying to be as responsive to the needs of the community as is possible under the Uniform Relocation and Real Property Assistance Act, which governs the mitiga- tion program funding, George said. "We intend to do that. We asked for and received some leeway on that from the FAA and we are glad they did it." Under the act, noise mitigation areas included iu Part 150 programs, EISs, or RODs are eligible for federal fuudiug, such as AIP grants. Any mitigation in areas beyond that de- fined in the EIS or ROD could be funded independently, however. Some 5,188 homes are included in the 60 DNL contour for the runway extension, only about 1,051 of which would be included in the block rouuding area. Passenger Facility Charge revenue could be used to mitigate to the 60 DNL con- tour only if approved by FAA through a consultation process and all other PFC-funded projects at the airport related to safety, capacity, and security are completed first, Gearge ex- plained. "The County has to make that decision," he said, adding he would not recommend mitigation to the 60 DI�TL contour at this time. "When we have aclual contours, then we ca�i re- visit that. Unril then, I can't recommend doing anymore more than [what is included] in the ROD." "The County commissioners recognize that the runway extension is very controversial, tliat the community is grow- ing, and that we should do the most we can for the people im- pacted," George said. Airport Noise Report C 2008 New OrCeans, fro�n p. 86 in the program, he said, including Passenger Facility Charge revenue and the proceeds of selling land that is no longer needed for noise compatibiliry purposes. Some 80 percent of the proceeds of such sales must be returned to airport noise mitigation programs, he explained. White Hurricane Kahina flooded many homes in the New ` Orleans area, the homes that had already been sound-insu- lated before tbe storm hit, rernained dty. That is very likely because a levee on the western boundary of the airport had been raised six feet to protect the airport from flooding_ The project was dedicated just three days before Katrina hit, Ro- dniquez said. Had the levee not been raised, the storm water would have overtopped the lower level by two feet. No contractor has been selected yet for sound insulation construction on the remaining phases of the program, which include homes in the 70 DNL contotu: Construction for Phase 18 of the program is currently out to bid and the bid openi�g date is Sept. 3. The airport hopes to award the bid and pro- vide notice to proceed in mid-October, said Maggie Woodruf�', deputy director of Cornmunity and Government Affairs for the airport. Phases 19 and 20 of the insulation program will likely have notice to proceed by the end of tlle year, she said. �'atzta .Fe , t�" � : %� '� � i ''. , '�' • :�; � :�> ��, �, . �; w � ��• " �� e, � . a. ,►. �, ;r� The National Park 5ervice wants a draft environmental assessment of the impact of ptaruied scheduled passenger service for the fust tirne at Santa Fe Municipal Aiiport to Ue expanded to cover nearby Bandelier National Monument in Los Alamos, NM. Bradley Taver, superintendent of the park, told the Fed- eral Aviation Administration in comments on the draft EA that he did not see any impact anatysis in it for Bandelier Na- tional Monument, the Bandelier Wilderness, or other national park areas in the vicinity of the airport. "Very low noise levels and quiet setting are generally rec- ognized attributes of national park areas. TIms, we are asking the FAA to conduct sound analysis for impacts across Bande- lier National Monument," he wrote. The State of New Mexico Historic Preservation O�ce also is concerned about the unpact of commercial aircraft op- erations on local historic properties. The o�ce is still waiting for FAA to respond to concerns it raised in comments submit- ted on the Draft EA. The National Historic Preservation Act requires that state Historic Preservation Offices concur with findings in FAA environmental assessments that include impacts on lustoric sites. George Paloheimo, director of El Rancho de las Golon- drinas, a living history museum located about three rniles south of the airport, told FAA, "We aze an outdoor village museum and a huge part of the experience is to be able to step back iti time and see and feel like as it would have been in the 18th cenhuy. It stands to reason that the noise made by more flying jets wou(d be disruptive to our visitor's enjoy- ment of their day at Las Golondrinas." The FAA's Draft EA was released in March. It concluded that commercial operations planned by Delta Air Lines and American Eagle to Los Angeles, Dallas, and Salt Lake City would have little impact on t]ie environment, including arche- ological and historical sites, or on surrounding communities. Some communities under the planned flight path of the regional jet operations have expressed concern about the noise impact. The new commercial operations were scheduled to begin last December but delays in release of the Draft EA pushed that date back. Despite tt�e steep rise in fuel prices, both Delta and American Eagle said they still plan to begin operations at Santa Fe Municipal. One issue that has been resolved regarding commercial passenger service at the airport is concern by tl�e Santo Domango Pueblo that the new commercial operations wonld allow airline passengers to view sacred ceremonies on their tribal lands. Santo Domingo tribal officials were talcen on a flight in May over their lands so ttiey could see for themselves what airline passengers could view. That flight alleviated their con- cerns about observation of their ceremonies aud noise impact. Teterbaro ��,, :�.

"There's no better venue than the annual convention of the National Business Aviation Association to present out Good Neighbor Awards," said Rich Heslin, airport manager at Teterboro, which is owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. "There is hannony in the two events as the general avia- tion comrnunity gathers to share its common interests, includ- ing good commuaity relations, said Heslin. Ae has assigned management staff from Teterboro's Office for Noise and En- vironmental Compliance to attend the NBAA convention and present the awards during a press conference schedu(ed for Oct. 6 at 2 p.m. "We can't wait to rnake the presentations because the award criteria are not just challenging but also because more operators complied with the criteria in 2007 than i2i previous Airport Noise Report August 1, 2008 g� � � �� ':�� Jodn J.

"Pi- lots are hearing the message about `flying quiet' and they deserve our thaulcs." Teterboro lawiched its Good Neighbor Awards program in 2004 to give credit to operators who avaided violations of airport noise rules and nighttime operations. The awards prograxn has become part of the "TEB Indusiry Working Group," which was formed by Port Authority Chairman Anthony R, Coscia to improve safety, security, and reduce noise at the airport. The group includes leading trade associations, such as NBAA, the National Air Transport Association, the General Aviation Manufacturers Associarion, and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, as well as fixed base operators and other major operators such as NetJets. Teterboro's voluntary Fly Quiet program includes restraints on oper- ations of noisier Stage 2 aircraft operations into the airport and on opera- tions of any aircraft between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. One night, the number of operations after 11 p.m. dropped 83 per- cent, compared to operations during the 10 p.m. hour, O'Connor said. "The enthusiastic response to TEB's voluntary restraints has enabled more operators to qualify for awards and be recognized this year and NB.A.A puts us in the right place at the right time to say thanks." Award Winners ,. t Although the awards will be presented at the NBAA convention, Teterboro did announce the recipients. The Good Neighbor Awards for 2006 will go to Hawkaire, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance, and Textrou. The airport's Good Neighbor Awards for 2007 will be presented to �- the following companies and individuals: Ameriprise Financial, Hawkaire, IHBA, Inc., Massachuseits Mutual Life, Meredith Corpora tion, Twin Cities Aviation, and VF Services, along with Mr. Thomas Heimgartner. A�i "honorable mention" will be given for DHL Express in 2007 be- cause award criteria cover aircraft used for passenger transport, not cargo, yet DHL's helicopter operations met TEB's uoise rules and volun- tary restraints. lyl .�Y'l�� f `. . a � An eagerly-awaited report by the Government Accountability Office examining how effectivly the FAA planned and implemented the contro- versial airspace redesign project ui the N'Y/NJ/Philadelphia area was due out at the end of July but will not be issued for another month. . � �, r, ,i � �, r Anne H.

The agency approved the following: (1) Modify current helieopter flight hacks to and from the north to avoid certain residential areas. (2) Develop a voluntary acquisition program that allows non-compatible land uses to be removed from high noise exposure areas. The airport had proposed that the voluntary acquisirion include residences located within the 2006 baseline 70 DNL and greater contour. However, the FAA limited acquisitions to existing non- compatible land uses loeated within the 65 DNL contour. (3) Acquire additional noise monitoring equipment. The airport sought five ad- ditional noise monitors (three to be lpcated at schools along the exteuded centerline of a runway and two to replace existing outdated monitors) as well as an Air-to- Ground Monitoring Tower to aid communications. FA.A said that eligibility for federal fiwding of this equipment will be deter- mined at the time of application.

Albee discussed progress being made in the an•space study at the annual conference of the National Organizarion to Insure a Sound-Controlled Environment (NOISE), which was held on July 16-18 near Washington, D.C., Dulles Inter- national Airport. Tlie Federal Aviarion Administration and the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) agreed to the un- precedented siudy as part of a legal settlement of decades- long litigation by communities challenging a long-sought new runway at Logan. The multi-phase study is expensive (over $4 million) partly because the comrnunities were provided with their own airspace consultant and it extends far beyond the 65 dB DNL contour of Logan. Wyle serves as the consultant to the FAA and Massport, while Metron is the consultant for the commu- nities participating in the study. Together, the communities, FAA, Massport, and the con- sultants have considered flight tracics over a wide area in an ef�ort to minirnize noise irnpact. They developed SS concepts to reduce noise impact; 18 of which were rejected by FAA as being unsafe or not feasible. Certain measures, which Albee called "low-hanging fiuit" because they did not need an environmental analysis, were considered in Phase I of the study, which ended in October 2007. Under Phase II of the study, now underway, the re- maining 14 measures, which will require environmental analysis, will be considered. Key to the success of the study has been the use of sup- plemental metrics, in particulaz the Number Above (NA) met- ric, Albee said. NA has emerged as a key decision tool for the communities, he told the conference. But he said tliat a new melric, "point of closest approach at a specific location," was also developed in the study at the request of the cortununities. Ti�e protocol for the Logan airspace study "is state-of-the- art for conducting an FAA-sponsored noise analysis and it far exceeds typical FAA noise-modeling studies," Albee said. The Loga�i study, he said, is serviilg as a process to lea�-n how to gain public acceptance of new runways. 1Vli�nneapolis City Council 1Vlember Honored At its conference, NOISE honored Sandy Colvin Roy as the "2008 Enviroiunental Steward." Roy has been a member of the Minneapolis City Council since 1998, representing an area of the city located north of tlie Minneapolis-St. Paul In- temational Airport. She also serves as chair of the Natioual League of Cities' Energy, Environment, and Natural Re- sources Committee. NOISE Executive Director Dennis McGrann sard Roy "is a tireless and selfless public servant whose goundbreaking advocacy for her constituents, the City of Minneapolis, and all ofAmerica is unprecedented." He said she has helped se- cure millions of dollars in dedicated federal funding for envi- ronmental mitigation and aviakion noise research, including funding that led to khe creation of FA.A's PART"NER reseazch consortium.

The guidance update on the practice — known as block-rounding — is needed to stop what ATA views as the beginning of trend at Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Bob Hope Airport where a large percentage of homes that will be insulated in current or future insulation programs are located beyond the 65 dB DNL contour. Block-rounding at those airports has gone too far, said Katherine Andrus, assistant general counsel for ATA. In the Part 161 cost/benefit study of a proposed nighttime curfew at Bob Hope Airport, it appears that block-rounding bayond the 65 CNEL contour accounts for approximately 80 percent of the homes estirnated to need insulation in the future if the curfew is not imposed, she said. Inclusion of homes outside the 65 CNEL contour also was needed to conclude in the Part 161 study that imposition of the (Continued on p. 79) Pcart ZSO �'�ograrat F� A.PP�tO�S P�T 150 ��.2�G�;.AIVIS �� V_Y�1-��..l1�� 9D�,1�@.��1V� 0.�1�1 41\ H.9L E��d ��1i.� The Federai Aviation Administration announced that it has approved Part 150 AirporiNoise Compatibility Programs for Ocala (FL) International Airport and Surlington (VT) International Airport. The agency also announced that it expects to complete its review of a proposed Pai�t 150 program forMeadows Field Airport in Bakersfield, CA, by Dec.19. T"he Ocala Part 150 program included seven proposed measures for noise mitigation on and off the airport. On July 17, the FAA said that it granted approval to all seven measures, which include: • Updating City of Ocala land development regulations to prevent future development of noise sensitive uses within the 60 dB DNL and greater contours of Ocala International. FAA said that it does not control local land use and it encourages local efforts to prevent new non-compatible development immediately abutting the DNL dB 65 contour and to provide a buffer for possible growth in noise contours beyond the forecast period; Purchase developed and undeveloped land within the 65 dB DNL and greater noise contours.

Lauderdale, FAA agreed in its Final Environmental Impact Statement on a runway extension to allow Broward County to follow neighborhood boundaries to mitigate for noise impact. Such biock-rounding there will double the number of homes eligible for insulation or purchase assurance from just over 1,000 to over 2,000. This is "way beyond" what has been done in the past, Andrus told ANR. This is a siivation in which there has not been a lot of guidance from FAA on how to apply block- rounding in sound insulation programs. The agency has approved block-rounding on a case-by-case basis and ATA thinks that FA.A has gone too far. It is projected at Ft. Lauderdale that it will cost an esti- mated $178 miilion for insulation or purchase assurance of homes beyond the 65 dB DNL contour included in the program through block-rounding. There is not a whole lot of evidence showing that sound- proo�ing does a whole lot beyond the 65 dB DNL contour, Andrus contended. It is questionable whether it is cost- effective, she said. Bob I�ope Part 161 Study ATA asserted in its comments on the Part 161 cost/benefit study on a proposed cur.Few at Bob Hope Airport that block-rounding allowed the airport authority to artificialiy inflate the projected cost of noise mitigation without the curfew. "The Airport Authority `reexamined' long-standing FAA guidance that permits use of Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants to sound insulate homes outside of the 65 CNEL contiguous to homes within the noise-impacted area `if necessary to achieve equity in the neighborhood'. However, the Aiipoi�t Authority fails to note that this exception is limited to a`r•easonable additional nun:be�� of otherwise ineligible parcels' and that what is reasonable may be determined by reference to `neighborhood or street boutidary lines ... itz addition to numbers ofproperties." "It has long been understood by a'u-port proprietors as well as by community leaders that this type of `block rounding' may be used where a strict adherence to the 65 CNEL threshold would produce an absurd result — for instance, where homeowners on one side of a cul-de-sac were offered sound insulation while those on the other side were not eligible," ATA wrote. "It is not intended to be used to expand a legitimate noise mitigation program well beyond the area that is considered, under objective criteria, to be noise impacted. At most, a small fi•action of the houses included in the sound insulation program should fall under this exception." But, at Bob Hope Airport, it appears that approximately 80 percent of the residential parcels that would need insulation in 2015 if the curfew is not imposed are focated entirely outside of 65 CNEL, ATA saidd. "This is not only an indefensible distortion of the FAA's policy on sound insulation programs, it is in direct contravention of the 79 FAA's previous advice to the Aiiport Authority to coufine the calculation of benefits [of the curfew] to the 65 CNEL contour," ATA wrote. Part XSO, from p. 78 • Ensure that any redevelopment or reuse of land purchased as part of the Land Use Mitigation Program will be compatible with airport operations. FAA said that eligibility for federal funding of any reuse/redevelopment program will be determined at the time of application; • Advertise noise exposure contours and availability of Part 150 documents in local newspapers three times each year; • Tnstitute a Pitot Education Prograrn to distribute information outiining noise abatementpolicies. FAA said that inserts or other infoimation given to pilots must not be construed as mandatory air tra�c procedures. "Prior to release, language in the brochure shall be reviewed for wording and content by the appropriate FAA office. The content of the brochure is subject to specific approval by appropriate FAA officials outside ofthe FAR Part 150 process and is not approved in advance by this determina- tion"; � Institute a Community Information Program outlin- ing airport noise abatement efforts; • Conduct periodic review ofthe Part 150 program. FAA said that the Part 150 regulations state that an airport's Part 150 program should be updated if there is either a substantial new non-cornpatible use within the DNL 65 contour or if there is a significant reduction in noise over existing non-compatible land uses.

That eligibility has now been extended to residences within the 65 dB DNL contour, FAA said.

The Federal Aviation Administration has added $18 million in grant funds to support the insulation program and the City of Chicago will match that amount in Passenger Facility Charge revenue. "Last year, we had a substantial commitment of $21.6 million in funding," said Frank Damato, ONCC Residential Sound Insulation Committee chair. "We strongly support the increase in the number of homes to be insulated by approxi- mately 330 to 1,000 total. We know this economy has put a lot of constraints on budget items but we are optimistic that additional monies will come through to make these added homes sound-insulated to increase the quality of life for O'Hare area neighbors." "We know we raised the bar by increasing the homes we want sound-insulated for the 2008 program, said ONCC Chair Arlene Mulder who also serves as mayor of Arlington Heights. "The first phase of the O'Hare Modernization progam is just five ruonths away atld the 2014 completion year is just six years from now. That's a lot of work in a short amount of time in order to ensure a high quality of life for those living within the new noise contour of O'Hare." Communities near O'Hare slated to receive sound insula- tion in the 2008 program include Schiiler Park, and Park Ridge, Bensenville, as well as the City of Chicago. "With another new noise monitor in Park Ridge, we will be able to have a good solid baseline to measure a�id compare noise regarding the ongoiilg O'Hare expansion," Damato said. "We are confident the south end of our city will receive the same consideration �•egarding residential sound insula- tion." Residential sound insulation consU�uction starts again this summeron eligible single-family and multi-familyhomes in areas where the FAA has determined that homes will be most impacted by noise after the expansion of O'Hare is completed. In its approval of the O'Hare Modernization Program, the FAA assigned ONCC various responsibilities, including the continued oversight of communities impacted by aircraft noise, now and in the future, as new runways are con- structed. Congestion . . , r . 1 1 � ' �' �' ' 1 '� '� The Airports Cotuicil International —North America (ACA-NA) has commended the Department of Transporta- so tion for clarifying its 1996 policy on airport rates and charges to provide greater flexibility to operators of congested airports. "We're pleased that Secretary Peters has recognized that airport proprietors are in the best position to manage the use of the,facilities they planned, financed, built, and cuirently operate. They can effectively work with the airlines to develop rates and charges that address congestion and passenger inconvenience and take into consideration unique local circumstances," said ACI-NA President Greg Principato. DOT published its arnendments to its "Policy Regarding the Establishment of Airport Rates and Charges" in the Federal Register on June 21. It confirms the ability of airports to implement tvvo-tier pricing schemes and permits con- gested airports to use landing fees to provide incentives to airlines to use the airport at less congested times or to use alternative airports to meet regional service needs. ACI-NA said that it continues to work with airlines to enhance operatiorial and fmancial efficiency and to respond to capacity reductions. "However, airports must also plan for the long-term needs of passengers and expand capacity as appropriate to aecommodate the more than one billion passengers expected to travel by air in 2015." ACI-NA said that its airport members continue to support the use of new air traffic control technologies and proce- dures to relieve existing probiems of cangestion and delay. They believe ttiat DOT's policy revisions will "effectively combine with other policies that recognize the importance of promoting competition and providing service to small communities; these are essential coinponents of any program designed to align deniand with capacity at con- gested airports.

For the second year in a row, SkyWest Airlines won the award for passenger airlines while Cargolux received top honors for cargo airlines, Horizon Air also was recognized as honorable mention. "We applaud the Fly Quiet Award winners as good neighbors to the communities affected by aircraft noise," said John Creighton, Port of Seattle Commission president. Both SkyWest and Horizon scored well due to their jets following noise abatement flight paths and through opera- tion of many quieter Bombardier CRJ's (Canadian Regional Jets, which produce lower average noise levels, the Port said. Cargolux scored the highest in noise abatement procedures and won a close contest over Federal Express, which had won the award for three straight years.

If the number of Stage 2 depariures exceeds 75 in any rolling 12-month period under the voluntary ban, the MAC has agreed to impose a mandatory ban on all Stage 2 aircraft operations at Flying Cloud and to conduct the Part 161 study required by the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 to support such a restriction on operations. The MAC further agreed to "consult ciosely" with the City of Eden Prairie in preparing the scope of work for the Part 161 study and in selecting a consultant to perform the study. In the agreement, the MAC also committed to: � Not further lengthen the runways or improve pavement strength unless required to do so by state law; � Banaircraftweighingmorethan60,0001bs.; • Not applying for an FAA Part 139 certification to ailow air carrier operations; Implement a program of "voluntary restraints" on nighttime departures except operations between 10 p.m. and midnight conducted to meet Nighttime Currency Require- ments; within six months, identify and evaluate operational procedures to limit noise impact between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., including dispersion of departures, defined flights routes, or noise abatement departure procedures; Not allow cargo operations at the airport; Test 157 residences located within the 60-70 DNL contour to determine existing interior noise conditions. If an exterior-to-interior noise attenuation of less than 20 dBA is found, MAC agreed to provide sound insulation to achieve at least that level of reduction. MAC agreed to complete the sound insulation within two years and to consult with Eden Prairie to determine the nature and extent of insulation required; • Institute a pilot education program and awards for voluntary compliance with the Stage 2 ban. In exchange for the MAC's noise mitigation efforts, the City of Eden Prairie agreed not to challenge the expansion of Flying Cloud Airport and to consider amending its compre- hensive pian to bar development of residences beyond the 60 DNL contour. Liti,gation, from p. 74 a permit to build a boathouse and was told that he would have to grant an aviation easement over his property in order to receive the permit. "This settlement is a victory for the constitutional rights of all properiy owners," said Meriem L. Hubbard, a principal attorney with the Foundation. "The county's demand was . unconstitutional. Under clear U.S. Supreme Court precedent, government can't extort property or money from someone seeking a building permit when the government's demand has nothing to do with any impact of the project. Mr Dutta's boathouse would be 20-feet high at mast, and there's simply no link between his project and the flight easement that the county was imposing." Dutta's lawsuit rested on the precedent set by the High Court in Nollan v. California Coastal Cotnmission, a landmark 198? property rights case brought by the PLF. "Nolan holds that government may not force landowners to accept unrelated, unreasonable conditions as the price of getting a building permit," the Foundation explained. El Dorado County also agreed in the settlement to pay Dutta's litigation costs. In light of the settlement agreement, the County Board of Supervisors voted to tempora�•ily suspend a section of code requiring that an avigation easement be given as a condition of obtaining building permits for structures near the airport, located in Cameron Park, CA. During a 45�day suspension of the code section, county staff will consider whether revisions should be made to the code to comply with court rulings that have occurred since the easement reauirement was adopted in 1987. The case is Dutta v. Counry of EI Dorado. A copy of the complaint is available at the PLF website: www.paci ficiegai.org. New Smyrna Beac/i I�tCAISE Ci�ll�llBITTEE `6�Al�t'TS RITl�W�.Y C�PEl�T, I�C2 I)ISCI,CDSITI� A new airport noise committee for New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport agreed in mid-June to keep a runway near a proposed housing development open but rejected requiring formal disclosure of noise impacts to potentiai buyers of homes near the airport out of fear that it would devalue real estate. Last year, the airport board proposed a sirnilar measure that would have required a noise disclosure statement to be added to real estate contracts but it also failed after one Realtor questioned its legality and expressed concern that it would hurt sales in a depressed housing market. The new noise committee, comprised of homeowners and airport businesses, was formed after an increase in noise complaints at the airport, which is home to several flight schools. In its first formal action, the committee recommended keeping a runway near a proposed development at its current length and not closing or shortening it. The committee was concerned that closing the runway would divert air traffic to the airport's two other runways increasing noise impact on homes near them. The noise committee took no action on a controversial measure to impose landing fees at the airport as a means to wean it off of federal grants and federal control. Goncerns were expressed that such fees would drive out flight training schools. The airport is embarking on a Part 150 airport noise Airport Noise Report (\ . Julv 3, 2008 compatibility study, which will be conducted by ESA Airports. New Smyrna Beach recently received a Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program grant of $275,608 to conduct the study, which is expected to begin this fail. National Parks , . , � il , , • ,1• . ;� ; � As a public service, the 6S0-member Coalition afNational Park Service Retirees recently issued a list of the quietest national parks in the United States and the five national parks most threatened by noise, four of which they said are threatened by aircraft noise. The five parks considered to have the most serious noise problems are: • Minute Man Historical Park located in the suburbs of Boston: The proposed expansion of commuter aircraft service at nearby Hanscom Field, located just north of the park, "has caused significant public controversy regarding the potential impact to the park," the retirees said; _ Mojave National Preserve, CA: The park "is threatened" by a proposed new reliever airport for Las Vegas McCarran International, which would be located about 40 miles southwest of Las Vegas and open in 2017, handling about 35 million passengers per year. The retirees said the proposed new airport "is opposed by those who object to air traffic over Mojave National Preserve in California and to noise and air pollution in parts of California and southern Nevada. An environmental impact study is expected to be completed by 2010; • Mt. Rushmore Nationai Park in South Dakota: The retirees said that the park is so small that air tours are audible throughout the park for most of the tlight tracks. An emerging noise issua at the park arises ftom a two-week motorcycle ral Iy held there; _ Hawaii VolcanoesNational Park: Theproblem identified there was aiso "tens of thousands" of air tour flights per year with no time limit on circling over volcanic eruption sites; _ Ever�lades National Park, Florida: Airboats, rnotor boats, and noisy generates were identified as noise problems by the retirees. The retirees said that they omitted from their list the two national parks with long-standing noise issues because they are so well known: Grand Canyon National Park and YellowstoneNational Park. Aircraft overflights were cited as the problem at the Grand Canyon, while noise from snowmobiles was the probtem at Yeliowstone. The retirees said that federal legislation requiring the Park Service and the Federal Aviation Administration to reduce the impact of aircraft overflights at the Grand Canyon has resulted in some progress in noise impact. The five quietest national parks were also identified: Great BasinNationai Park inNevada, Isle RoyaleNational Park in 76 Michigan, North Cascades National Park in Washington, Big Hole National Battlefield in Montana, and Muir Woods National Monument in California, Personnel . . . � . � . . � , . ;� � � Daniel Elwell, the Federal Aviation Administration's assistant adrninistrator for Aviation Policy, Planning, and Environment will join the Aerospace Industries Association (AI,A) July 7 as vice president of Civil Aviation.

He also d'rrects the agency's annual forecast conference. He follows former FAA Administrator Marion Blakey to AIA, where she now serves as president and CEO. Blakey said Elweli's experience in aviation will bring significant expertise to the association. "Dan is extremely knowledgeable about our business," Biakey said. "His experience in government, both at the FAA and on Capitol Hill, his international expertise, in addition to his background in the airline business, will be a major asset as AIA moves forward with the many issues on our ptate." Prior to joining the FAA, Elwell was American Airlines' managing director of International and Government Affairs. He aiso served as the corporate representative and consult- ant to the Departments of Transportation and State on bilateral and mulrilateral aviation negotiations, international dispute resolution and international alliances.

Ted Stevens (R-AK), where he was responsible for Alaskan aviation issues and defense spending accounts as a Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee staff representative. He is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy and Georgetown Government Affairs Institute Congressional Fellowship Program. FAA's press o�ce did not respond to an inquiry regard- ingwho will replaceElwell. � In Brief ... Cougress Extends FAA Funding On June 27, Congress approved a three-month extension of FAA's funding and programs through Sept. 30, 2008. President Bush signed the measure into law on July i. A previous extension expired on June 30. The extensions are required because Congress has yet to pass legislation reauthorizing the programs of the FAA. The House passed a reauthorization bill last year but the Senate has yet to pass its version. Airport Noise Report 2008 � � � 77 � ' k� 1 I i� I' �� •' , � � • ' � ;� . 'r�;� JohnJ. Corbett,Esq.
