The six-year plan, which must be approved by Congress, would fund airport de- velopment and the transition to the NextGen air traffic control system. The Administration said it proposes "to invest in our nation's airports by im- proving their runways and other equipment and facilities. We also propose a robust investment in our effort to modernize the nation's air traffic control system (NextGen). This investment will help both the FAA and airlines to install new tech- nologies and, among other improvements, move from a national ground-based radar surveillance system to a more accurate satellite -based surveillance system — the backbone of a broader effort to reduce delays for passengers, increase fuel effi- ciency for carriers, and cut airport noise for those who live and work near ail -ports."

Bolden Jr. said Sept. 8. Addressing the Green Aviation Summit, held Sept. 8-9 at NASA's Ames Re- search Center in California, Bolden said air travel is one of the safest modes of transportation and vital to the U.S. economy, but increasing air traffic is taking a toll on the environment and the nation's aviation infrastructure. "We need to make some changes — both in the design of aircraft and in the way they transit through our skies to not only maintain, but improve safety and effi- ciency. That's a huge challenge, but we at NASA enthusiastically accept it," Bolden said in aNASA press release. The Green Aviation Summit is highlighting the depth and breadth of NASA's work to develop aviation technologies that are designed to make air transportation cleaner and quieter for the environment, with fewer delays for travelers.

"This marks an important departure from the fed- eral government's traditional way of spending on infrastruc- ture through earmarks and formula -based grants that are allocated more by geography and politics than demonstrated value." While there are very few details of Obama's plan at this point, the new infrastructure bank is expected to focus ini- tially on funding of surface transportation projects and not aviation projects. Rep. James L. Oberstar (D -MN), chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, said in a statement that he is "pleased that the President shares the Committee's objectives of restoring our surface and air trans- portation systems to a state of good repair, increasing energy efficiency, and relieving the road and rail congestion that is crippling our economy." The Air Transport Association said it was "critically im- portant to fully understand" Obanna's plan. "We are lookiing fonvard to learning more about what government decision - makers might have in mind," ATA said in a statennent. The Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) said it "strongly supports President Obama's proposals for invest- ment in our nation's transportation infrastructure, particularly the effort to modernize the nation's air traffic control system (NextGen). "We are very pleased to see the recognition that our na- tional airspace system cannot be transformed by focusing on runways alone," said AIA President and CEO Marion C. Blakey. "NextGen is the future of a safer, cleaner, quieter avi- ation system and its implementation requires attention to both ground and airborne infrastructure." Civil aviation. has an incredible capacity to spur economic investment. Various economic analyses show that federal in- vestment in NextGen airborne infrastructure has the potential to create more than 150,000 direct and indirect jobs in the near term, AIA said. "AIA has long championed the inclusion of NextGen ac- celeration in any economic stimulus package because of the strong five -to -one stimulative effect of civil aviation invest- ment," Blakey said. "Transportation infrastructure spending that doesn't include recapitalization of our Eisenhower -era aviation system won't address the issue efficiently or effec- tively." "Transportation Secretary LaHood's Future of Aviation Advisory Committee is asking the right questions and its rec- onunendations should help inform how the president's infra- structure bank spends money on our nation's aviation infrastructure. AIA looks forward to working with the admin- istration to identify which aviation infrastructure investments bring the most immediate economic benefit to the traveling public and all Americans." Falcon Field B&K FLIGFIT=TT2ACKING SYSTEM SELECTED FOR FALCON FIELD Bruel & Kiaer announced Sept. 6 that it has been selected by the City of Mesa, AZ, to provide its FlightOps Flight Tracking subscription service to assist in. the management of Falcon Field's (F.FZ) "Fly Friendly" program. "As the nation's 4th busiest general aviation airport, it is important that the needs of Falcon Field Airport's tenants and users remail balanced with those of the surrounding connmu- nity. Bruel & Kjwr's new FlightOps flight tracking solution allows the City to respond to citizen concerns about aircraft noise and safety more effectively and will greatly enhance the effectiveness of Falcon Field's Fly Friendly Program," said Bob Brown, president of the Falcon Field Tenants and Users Association and a member of the City's ad-hoc noise task force which convened to explore the noise issues and the air- port's Fly Friendly Program. FlightOps provides airports with access to highly detailed flight information including aircraft ETAs, near -time situation display, historical track replay, and automated airfield opera- tions reports on an hourly, daily and monthly basis, B&K said. Integrated weather information, point of closest approach snapshot, and a number of value-added functions can be uti- lized by several airport departments to make managing inter- nal and outreach programs easier, B&K said. Falcon Field is unique in its residential encroachment and elevated aircraft operations activity, the firm said. "At last count, with more than 324,000 annual aircraft operations, FliglntOps is the perfect solution to efficiently track and man- age these aircraft as they arrive/depart FFZ, flying over the airport's noise sensitive neighbors." "With FlightOps providing the entire airport a single user - interface to perform tasks including complaint management, aircraft planning statistics, and operations reporting, it goes way beyond what any other company might deliver. No other single -solution presents aircraft positions in Live, Historic and Predictive modes with ETAs, operations, and weather data displayed on multiple dashboards detailing when, where and how operations really happened," B&K said. Noise complaints at Falcon Field increased sharply after CAE/Sabena Flight Training Center, the largest flight school for foreign pilots, moved to the airport in 2007. In April 2009, the City of Mesa formed an ad hoc task force to address community concerns. It is comprised of pi- lots, airport businesses including the flight training academy, airport neighbors, and representatives of the city staff and the Federal Aviation Administration. That group developed a Fly Friendly Program that en- couraged pilots to use the airport's north runway, which is farther from residential areas, to depart to the north, and to stop night training flights, among other measures. Arun -up area where pilots prepare for departures to the north/northeast Airport Noise Report September 10, 2010 118 was expanded, noise abatement reminder signs were installed for pilots to read prior to departure, a `Fly Friendly' video was developed, and regular meeting are being held to discuss the program. Program outreach will soon be expanded to real estate agents. The program has resulted in a significant reduction in noise complaints, according to city officials. AIP Grants 11 AIRPORTS RECEIVE FAA. AIP NOISE GRANTS FOR NOISE WORK Between July 9 and Aug. 27, the Federal Aviation Admin- istration awarded Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants to the following 11 airports to support noise mitigation ef- forts, according to newly -released data placed on the agency's website: • Anchorage International Airport received a $500,000 grant to conduct a Part 150 airport noise compatibility study; • San Diego International Airport received a $1,599,969 grant for noise mitigation measures for residences within the airport's 65-69 DNL contour; • San Francisco International Airport received a $2.5 mil- lion grant for noise nnitigation measures for residences within the airport's 65-69 DNL contour; • New Haven Tweed Airport (CT) received a $412,742 grant to conduct a noise compatibility plan study; • Southwest Florida International Airport in Ft. Myers, FL, received a $103,809 grant for a flight tracking system re- quired by the airport's noise compatibility plan. The grant also will fluid a wildlife hazard study; • Chicago O'Hare International Airport received a $4 mil- lion grant for noise mitigation measures for residences within the airport's 65-69 DNL contour; • Barnes Municipal Airport in Westfield, MA, received a $2.5 million grant to acquire land for noise compatibility in the airport's 70-74 DNL contour and for noise mitigation measures for residences within the airport's 65-69 DNL con- tour; • Newark Liberty International Airport received a $22,030,000 grant for noise mitigation measures for public buildings; • LaGuardia International Airport received a $18,311,224 grant for noise mitigation measures for public buildings (soundproof a college); • Lehigh Valley International Airport in Allentown, PA, received a $1,850,000 grant for noise mitigation measures for public buildings; • Burlington International Airport in Burlington, VT, re- ceived a $2.4 million grant to acquire land for noise mitiga- tion measures within the airport's 65-69 DNL contour. The FAA awarded other AIP grants for noise mitigation efforts earlier in 2010 (22 ANR 54, 86). NASA, from p. 116 "Our critical responsibility is [to] those who feel anxious because of the long distance they have to travel to reach an airport; the crowding they experience upon arrival at the ter- minal; the departure, enroute, or arrival weather; or concerns that the technology on the planes may not be up to dealing with problems that may be encountered in the sky," Bolden told the summit. The two-day meeting brought together about 200 experts from NASA, other federal government organizations, indus- try, and academia. Keynote presentations by leading policy- makers as well as detailed technical presentations and panel discussions focused on state-of-the-art and emerging tech- nologies that can reduce aircraft noise, emissions, and fael consumption and ensure the safe and manageable growth of the aviation system. Jaiwon Shin, NASA's associate administrator for aero- nautics research, said NASA technology will become increas- ingly important because of the lack of available space for new airports. "We really are helping the country to advance to the next generation of air transportation and aviation by working together," he said. "This summit signifies our strong commitment." "Summit participants shared the results of their work on airplanes that will be designed and built with unconventional configurations, super -efficient engines and lightweight, darn - age -tolerant materials to increase lift, reduce drag, and deflect noise; innovations that will capitalize on the potential of al- ternative fuels and advanced power technologies; and efforts to equip aircraft cockpits with computer software and satel- lite -based navigation and connmunication systems to assist decision-making by pilots," NASA said. Ames Research Center Director- Simon "Pete" Worden opened the summit by crediting NASA research for today's understanding of climate change and the effects of global waning on the enviromnent. "As the world travels even more," said Worden, "we're going to have a very serious global warming issue, as well as lots of other environmental impacts of aviation." `Green Is Not Just a Buzzword' Bolden, Shin and Worden all noted that conservation — through improved performance, efficiency and safety — is an aim that has guided NASA's research goals for decades. "Green is not just a buzzword to us," Bolden said. Examples of green technology NASA has developed in- clude winglets and chevrons. Winglets are the vertical attach- ments that can be seen on the wing tips of many commercial airliners in service today, and are designed to reduce fuel con- sumption. Chevrons are the scalloped edges on the engine nozzles of some models of commercial and cargo aircraft just now entering the market, and are designed to reduce noise.

The AIA report, "Civil Aviation Growth in the 21st Century: Meeting Capacity and Environmental Challenges," asserted that the Federal Aviation Administration "must develop strategies to integrate National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review into the NextGen implementation planning process thereby making these important environmental reviews less costly and time-consuming." "Given the volume of expected airspace redesigns required to maximize the (Continued on p. 121) Noise Management A 61 -page report defining and documenting noise management goals and best practices at airports around the world is available at the Wyle Laboratories web site at http://wivw.wyle.conn/SeivicesSol.utions/science/EMMA/AcousticandVibra- tionConsulting/Resources/DocunnentLibrai-y/Docu m ents/Noi s eManagementPro- grannPractices4-10%20Final.pdf. The report was prepared by Mark Cheng, superintendent Noise Abatement & Air Quality, Vancouver Airport Authority, and William Albee who recently retired from his full-time position at Wyle Laboratories but still works for the fim as a consultant. "The Vancouver Airport Authority operates the Vancouver International Airport (YVR). The comprehensive YVR noise management program is administered via a fotnnal Noise Management Plan, which is updated by the Airport Authority every five years. To assist with identifying and selecting appropriate noise management program measures to include in the 2009 — 2013 update, and to help guide future work, the Airport Authority engaged Wyle to identify and analyze a comprehensive list of noise management "Best Practices" currently in use at airports around the world as well as at YVR," the introduction to the report explains. i (Continued on p. 122) Airport Noise Report In �'Iiis Issue.. , NextGen ...

"A great deal of NextGen is RNAVs [Area. Navigation] and CDAs [Continuous Descent Approaches] that have to be approved through NEPA, Marion C. Blakey, AIA President and CEO, told reporters in a telephone conference. These reviews "will net out to the good in terms of reduc- ing noise and emissions footprints," she said, adding, we need the ability to integrate NEPA reviews into the process of implementing NextGen so that they are less costly and time consuming. The environmental review process needs to be re- vamped in light of the tremendous number of advanced navi- gation procedures that will come into play in implementing NextGen, she explained. The aerospace industry is not seeking a categorical ex- emption from environmental review for all airspace redesigns that will be required to implement NextGen. Not many of them will be categorically excluded, Dan Elwell, AIA's vice president for Civil Aviation, predicted. Advanced navigation procedures used in NextGen will dramatically reduce noise exposure by focusing flight tracks into a tight corridor, he ex- plained, but the people in that corridor will get increased noise impact. He recommended that the FAA's Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) be used to model NextGen airspace re- designs to determine their noise impact and predicted it would, in most cases, be minimal. Elwell said he did not know what a fast track of NEPA review for NextGen airspace redesigns would look like. But said that industry "can say here is criteria; here is how to model it; and here is a way to get the approval done in a much shorter time." AN Funding of RNAV, RNP Approaches The FAA has spent over $5 billion in AIP fiords since 1982 on the study and implementation of noise compatibility projects, including home and business soundproofing, land acquisition and noise monitors, the AIA report notes. "This raises a potentially compelling economic argument for allowing AIP funds to cover the development of new ap- proaches employing NextGen technologies and procedures, including RNAV, RNP [Required Navigation Performance], and ground-based augmentation system (GBAS) approaches. "Many of these procedures can be designed to avoid noise -sensitive areas and CDAs are significantly quieter than standard approaches. Using AIP funds for new approach de- velopment could reduce expenditures ort physical noise miti- gation projects, while simultaneously accelerating NextGen deployment." AIA is not seeking a special set-aside in the AIP grant program to funding RNAV, RNP, and other advanced naviga- tional procedures, Blakey said. AIP grants to support ad- vanced procedures should compete for fimding with other 121 projects on their merits, she added, noting that airports are very enthusiastic about these procedures and are touting their benefits. FAA has approved Naverus, Inc. and Jeppeson as third parties to develop advanced NextGen navigation procedures. AIA proposes that AIP grants be used to fund such third party development. "It makes perfect sense," Blakey said, because we want to time the development of advanced navigational procedures with the airline's equipage of NextGen teclurol- ogy. Cash for Carbon Program The AIA report also supports a "Cash for Carbon" pro- gram being developed by the FAA that would provide grants or loans for NextGen equipage for the airlines in exchange or their commitment to carbon -neutral growth and other envi- ronmental commitments. Blakey said it was serendipitous that the Obama Adminis- tration proposed a new transportation infrastructure bank as part of its $50 billion infrastructure plan at the same time that the Cash for Carbon program is being developed. The bank could be used to fund the airlines' NextGen equipage, she said. Earlier in the day, Blakey attended a meeting of the Sen- ate Aerospace Caucus, held as part of National Aerospace Week, where Secretary of Transportation Ray LaH.00d said the ObamaAdministration wants to move even more aggres- sively on the transition to NextGen.

The plan, announced at the summit a year ago, has pro- gressed with the launch of an interactive internet map show- ing the status of CDA implementations across Europe. The map was presented for the first time at this year's Sunmiit, which is sponsored by the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), a coalition of aviation organizations. The map application was developed by EUROCONTROL in collaboration with the Airport Council International -Eu- rope, the Civil Air Navigation Services Organization (CANSO), the European Regions Airlines Association (ERA), and the International Air Transport Association (IATA). EUROCONTROL is coordinating this effort through its CDA Implementation Team, which has met with operational stakeholders covering a total of 104 different airports across Airport Noise Report C Seutember 17, 2010 Europe. Experts from EUROCONTROL, CANSO, and IATA are also contributing to the development of a new Interna- tional Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) manual on Contin- uous Descent Operations, which may lead to an update of EUROCONTROL's existing European CDA Guidance in 2011. "The support that the CDA Implementation Team has re- ceived from aircraft operators, airport operators, and air navi- gation service providers has been crucial to commitments given thus far to implement CDA at 83 airports across 25 Eu- ropean States," a summit press release notes. "Of these air- ports, 33 already offer CDA at some point in the day and a further 13 are currently carrying out flight trials. At least 15 new implementation support visits are already in the pipeline. This confirms that the project is clearly on track to reach the Joint Action Plan's target of CDA implementation at 100 Eu- ropean airports by 2013." "Operational flight trials and work in aircraft simulators confirm that a CDA from an altitude of about 10,000 feet should save approximately 100kg of fuel, and over 3 00k of CO2 compared to the classical stepped approach. As there are over 9 million flights in European airspace every year, the widespread application of CDA in which aircraft fly higher for longer, has the potential to provide major cost savings for aircraft operators through reduced fuel use, reduced noise ex- posure for those who live near airports and considerable re- ductions in the emission of greenhouse gases," the press release stated. "Following the last Aviation and Environment Summit, ACI EUROPE, CANSO, EUROCONTROL, ERA and IATA have been working closely together to implement the Joint European CDAAction Plan. We are already seeing tangible benefits of which the CDA internet map is but one. Over the coming months we will be focusing on promoting the wide- spread usage of CDA and establishing a CDA culture which will pave the way to more advanced performance in the fu- ture," said Andrew Watt, Environment Manager at EURO - CONTROL. ATAG Executive Director Paul Steele commented, "The close cooperation between ACI EUROPE, CANSO, EURO - CONTROL, ERA and IATA is just one of many great exam- ples of joined -up thinking that the aviation industry is applying to the challenge of lowering its emissions. Through innovative tools like the interactive map, the CDAAction Plan is ahead of schedule in its aim to reduce emissions by 500,000 tons of CO2 a year, and shows the industry deliver- ing on its commitments to cap netcarbon emissions from 2020 and half net emissions by 2050."

A primary source for information on airport noise manage- ment is a website maintained by Boeing at lnttp://www.boc- ing.com/conunerciaUnoise/list.html. This website is the largest single repository of airport noise program information on the web, with detailed information for hundreds of airports worldwide, the report explains. Wyle also reviewed the FAA's website to review the noise abatement and mitigation meas- ures for airport noise compatibility studies performed over the past decade. In addition, Wyle also reviewed numerous air- port and community websites to review specific program practices in greater detail. The data from these sources were then synthesized to identify a. comprehensive list of noise management practices and goals, and to provide examples representing effective application of each practice. The report notes that airport noise management program measures generally fit in one of the following categories: Land Use, Ground Operations, Flight Procedures, Monitoring & Flight Tracking, and Communication & Public Relations. "The measures/practices identified by this project were all assigned to one of these main noise management cate- gories," the report explains. The first section of the report provides an overview with a comprehensive list of Noise Management Program goals and the measures/practices con- sidered necessary to achieve each goal_ That section is fol- lowed by a discussion of each practice, including several examples showing where the practice has been effectively employed, followed by a brief concluding statement. Identifi- cation of all airports and communities employing each prac- tice and identifying the absolute best examples was beyond the scope of this effort. Albee said that he can still be reached at his Wyle e-mail address: Bill.Atbee@wyle.com Easements At what point in the process of adopting and applying zoning ordinances that impose avigation easements on airport neighbors is a constitutional challenge timely? That is the question being debated before the Oregon Court of Appeals in an appeal of a ruling by the Oregon Land Use Board (LUBA) that struck clown a City of Hillsboro, OR, ordinance that imposes avigation easements on approximately 7,000 property owners near Hillsboro Airport. LUBA held. in June, in Michelle Barnes rt 00of Hills- boro, that the City of Hillsboro's ordinance was unconstitu- tional on its face because it required property owners to give the Port of Portland an avigation easement as a condition of property development approval without being compensated for it (I1 ANR 83, 87). Airport Noise Report September 17, 2010 123 ANR EDITORIAL The Port of Portland, which operates the airport, and the City of Hills- boro asserted in their appeal that LUBA's ruling went beyond the jurisdic- tiongranted to it by the state Legislature (22 ANR 104). Barnes' challenge of the easement on constitutional grounds was untimely, they told the court. John J. Corbett, Esq. The constitutionality of the easement could have been tested when a Spiegel & McDiarmid 2009 city ordinance adopting the easement requirement was passed or at Washington, DC some future date when Barnes would seek approval of a project that would be subject to the easement requirement but not prior to that when Carl E. Burleson properties around the airport first became subject to the easement require- Director, Office of Environment and Energy meat under a 2010 city ordinance, they argued. It was the 2010 ordinance Federal Aviation Administration imposing the easement requirement on her property that Barnes chal- lenged; not a separate 2009 ordinance adopting the easement requirement. Peter J. Kirsch, Esq. However, Barnes' attorney, William Kabeiseman of the Portland, OR, Kaplan, Kirsch & Rockwell LLP law firm Garvey Schubert Barer, challenged the Port's and City's reason- Denver ing in a Sept. 1 brief to the Oregon Court of Appeals. "Petitioners would have this court determine that those provisions are Vincent E. Mestre, P.E. beyond constitutional challenge because they could have been challenged President, Mestre Greve Associates earlier and might be challenged later. Regardless of whether such chat- Laguna Niguel, CA lenges could be made at this time, Petitioners never explain why a chal- lenge is barred at this time and such a result in not supported in law and is Steven F. Pflaum, Esq. contrary to common sense — the most appropriate time to allow judicial re- Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg LLP view of such a challenge is when the rights and obligations [of the prop- Chicago erty owner] are actually changed." An amicus brief by the League of Oregon Cities, in support of the Port Mary L. Vigilante and City, also fails to provide any basis to overturn the LUBA decision, President, Synergy Consultants Barnes' attorney asserted in his brief The Pacific Legal Foundation made Seattle the same argument in its amicus brief filed in support of Barnes. And both Barnes' attorneys and the Pacific Legal Foundation stressed to the Appeals Court that the Port and City of Hillsboro are not challeng ing LUBA's conclusion that the easement provisions at issue violated the Oregon Constitution. What they do challenge is whether LUBA had juris- diction to consider the constitutional issues raised in the case. The League of Oregon Cities told the court that Oregon cities "face significant negative consequences" if the Court affirms LUBA's order. The order "effectively permits persons to challenge land use regulations in a third context — a zone change proceeding — and forces cities and counties to defend such criteria when they are not being applied to a specific devel- opment proposal or being adopted or amended in a legislative proceeding. The order presents an additional, unnecessary legal risk where no such risk previously existed ... LUBA's order will only increase the amount of land use litigation cities confront at a time when they can lease afford it." The Oregon Court of Appeals will hold a hearing on the case on Oct. 7.

J* A weekly update on litigation, regulations, and technological developments 124 Volume 22, Number 31 September 24, 2010 GAO rUffle9A wit Systematically addressing environmental impacts and community concerns can help airports reduce project delays, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) concluded in a Sept. 13 report to Congress. The report was based on GAO interviews with airport officials, state and local regulatory agencies, metropolitan planting organizations, and community groups for 10 selected airports, as well as federal officials and national industry and advo- cacy groups, and surveys of the 150 busiest airports in the country. "The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) estimates that the number of flights in the United States will increase 20 percent by 2024, It also has identified. numerous airports that will need to expand to handle more flights. However, in- creasing airport capacity and operations poses potentially significant irupacts on the environment and quality of life for surrounding communities," GAO said. In its report, GAO addresses (1) airports' actions to reduce their environmental impacts, (2) the extent airports believe environmental issues delay development or operational changes, and (3) the strategies airports can adopt to address environ - (Continued on p. 125) Flight Tracking The high-tech engineering firm ITT Corporation announced Sept. 20 that it has reached a definitive agreement with SRA International, Inc. to acquire SRNs Air- port Operations Solutions (AOS) group, which includes AirScene.conh by Era. AirScene.com by Era is a secure, web -based application based on the high- quality tracking data provided by Era's multilateration and Automatic Dependent Surveillance -Broadcast (ADS -B) surveillance technologies. This provides airports with real-time unrestricted access to all flight track information. ITT, with $10.9 billion in operating revenue in 2009, is currently under contract with the FAA to deploy, operate, and maintain the ADS -B system, the cornerstone technology of NextGen that will transform the grormd-based air traffic control sys- tem of today to a more efficient, satellite -based system. More than 50 major airports use AirScene.com, which provides critical airport business functions such as revenue, surface operations, and noise management. The AOS group reported revenue of approximately $3.5 million in the 12 months ended June 30, 2010 and employs 17 full time people located in Herndon, (Continued on p. 126) Airport Noise Report In This Issue, . .

Almost all the airports GAO surveyed took some actions to address their environmental impacts in four key areas: re- ducing noise levels, controlling water pollution, reducing emissions, and using environmentally sustainable practices, GAO found. "These [actions] include voluntary actions, such as asking pilots and controllers to use aircraft operational procedures that lower noise levels, as well as actions required by federal and state laws, such as in the areas of controlling water and air pollution. "Larger airports, which can have more environmental im- pacts, were more likely than other surveyed airports to take a wider range of actions, such as soundproofing homes or in- stalling loading bridges that supply aircraft with electric power to lower engine usage and emissions. "Finally, GAO found that airports were moving toward a more holistic approach to environmental management, in- cluding following environmentally sustainable standards and implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS)." GAO reported to Congress that "less than half of the sur- veyed airports believe that addressing environmental issues somewhat or greatly delayed a development project (35 per- cent) or operational change (42 percent) at their airport over the last 5 years, even though the vast majority had undertaken a capital development project or operational change during this time period ... Less than half similarly believe that ad- dressing environmental issues will cause delays in the next 5 years." "More airports reported that they had been somewhat de- layed than greatly delayed. Larger airports were somewhat less likely than all surveyed airports to believe that address- ing environmental issues will cause a delay in development projects (30 percent) or operational changes (36 percent). "Addressing water issues and noise issues was the most commonly cited environmental issue that led to delay in im- plementing development projects and operational changes, respectively. "A number of airports have adopted strategies to system- atically address environmental impacts and community con- cerns, which can help both mitigate environmental impacts and anticipate and reduce problems with communities and other stakeholders that can lead to delays. "Airports are integrating enviromnental considerations into their planning process, including 7 of the 10 airports GAO visited. Some airports are also finding success in streamlining the federal environmental review process and in integrating their EMS processes with the federal environmen- tal review process. "Finally, effective community outreach that solicits stake- holder input, fosters interactive communication with local communities, and evaluates its outreach efforts can help air- ports better anticipate and deal with conmmnity opposition," 125 GAO said in its report. The report is available online at http://www.gao.gov/prod- ucts/GAO-10-50. Airspace On Sept. 21, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a final rule expanding the Chicago Class B airspace to ensure that it encompasses aircraft conducting instrument ap- proaches into O'Hare International Airport and segregates them from aircraft operating under Visual Flight Rules. The Class B airspace expansion also will support simulta- neous instrument approach procedures to O'Hare's current triple parallel runways, as well as the three additional parallel runways planned under the airport's modernization program. The expansion of Chicago's Class B airspace will en- hance safety, improve air traffic flow, and reduce the potential for midair collisions, FAA said. In its announcement of the airspace expansion, FAA noted that two commenters had expressed concern that the proposal would have noise impacts because arrival aircraft would be flying at lower altitudes. Additionally, one of those cominenters asked if an environmental impact study or noise study had been done and if the FAA had notified communi- ties that aircraft would be flying over them at lower altitudes. The FAA disagreed that the Class B airspace expansion would have noise impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 1050. 1, Environmental Impacts: Policies and. Procedures, paragraph 311a, rulemaking actions that modify Class B air- space are categorically excluded from the requirement to pre- pare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement, the agency said. FAA said it determined that there were no extraordinary circumstances that would have necessitated further environ- mental review. "The location of present day flight tracks and altitude use will not change as a resultt of modification to the Class B airspace area. Jet aircraft will continue to fly the same flight tracks and patterns in the same locations that they fly today. There will be no adverse effects on any of the envi- ronmental impact categories required to be analyzed in accor- dance with FAA Order 1050.1; neither will there be any cumulative impacts." Moreover, the FAA said it prepared an environmental im- pact statement in July of 2005, and a Record of Decision in September of 2005, for construction and operation of the new runways at O'Hare. As such, there is no requirement for a noise study or public notification, FAA said.

Airport Noise Report Seutember 24, 2010 Harrisburg Intl Harrisburg International Airport will soon receive a $2 million federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant to fund its Voluntary Land Acquisition and Relocation Program. Some 47 properties in the airport's 65 dB DNL noise corn - tour in communities southeast of the airport are eligible for the program, under which properties will be purchased and razed and the homeowners relocated. Under a previous grant, five property owners were relo- cated. Under this $2 million grant, an additional 11 properties will be acquired and homeowners relocated. The Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority (SARAH), proprietor of the airport, is implementing the pro - ;nam to purchase the residential properties located within the FAA approved noise zones within the boroughs of Middle- town and Royalton as identified in the approved Federal Avi- ation Regulations Part 150 Noise Study, which was approved in 2006. The airport plans to work with the boroughs to rezone the land to uses compatible with the airport. On Aug. 29, 2004, Harrisburg International became the first airport terminal complex in the United States to be coin- pletely designed, built, and opened. since September 11, 2001, the airport said on its website. It has one 10,000 -foot runway and serves conunercial airlines. Harrisburg International Airport has been serving Central Pennsylvania for over 100 years, the website notes. "First, in 1898, the Signal Corps of the U.S. Army was stationed here. Then, the first airplanes landed in 1918 at what was then called Olmsted Air Force Base. By the time it was decommis- sioned in 1969, the base had grown to employ 11,400 civil- ians. At this point, Harrisburg International Airport began to serve the public, under the ownership of the Commonwealth. of Pennsylvania." In 1998, the Commonwealth transferred ownership to SARAA.. ACAP SI'NTHESIS TOPICS SOUGHT FOR FISCAL. 2011 ACIP PROGRAM The Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) is seeking potential synthesis topics for the FY2011 ACRP Syn- thesis Program. The closing date for submitting synthesis top- ics for FY 2011 is Nov. 15. In terms of aircraft noise, ACRP synthesis studies already completed have addressed the effects of aircraft noise and compiled infonnation on airport noise programs in areas out- side DNL 65. A current synthesis study is gathering informa- tion on strategies and financing opportunities for airport environmental programs. 126 The ACRP is an applied, contract research program with the objective of developing near -tern solutions to issues fac- ing airport -operating agencies. The ACRP is sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and managed by the National Academies, acting through the Transportation Re- search Board (TRB). ACRP undertakes research and other technical activities in response to the needs of airport operators on various air- port issues involving administration, environment, legal, pol- icy, planning, safety, security, human resources, design, construction, maintenance, and operations at airports. Synthesis topics in all of these areas are requested and may be submitted to ACRD by anyone. Syntheses are state -of -the -practice reports prepared under contract by outside individuals or firms. These reports seek to locate and assemble infonnation; to learn what practice has been used; to identify ongoing and recently completed re- search; to learn what problems remain largely unsolved; and to organize, evaluate, and document the useful information acquired. They do not undertake new research, nor do they contain policy recommendations. Syntheses document and describe current practice in a given area, highlight practices that are viewed as successful by many of the entities surveyed in developing the synthesis, or that are characterized as such in the literature reviewed by the synthesis author. They are most valuable when they are focused on issues common to many organizations. The only recommendations that are permitted in a synthesis are recom- mendations for needed research. The topics received from this solicitation will form the basis for selection of the annual ACRP Synthesis Program. They are not proposals to conduct the research but are used to identify potential topics only. Please review current ACRP synthesis topics so as to avoid duplication or overlap at littp:Happs.trb. org/crosfeed/TRBNetProj ectDisplay. asp?Pro- jectID=128. Ali oversight panel governs the ACRD Synthesis Program. The panel will meet in the fall 2010 to select up to seven (7) synthesis topics for the FY 2011 synthesis program. A suggested format for submitting a synthesis topic is at- tached. The preferred method for submitting an ACRD syn- thesis topic is online at littp://Nvww%trb.org/Studies/Synthesis/SynthesesSubmittal.asp.

Henry Waxman and Jane Harman (D -CA) urged the Federal Seattle Aviation Administration to "produce a thorough Environmental Impact Statement examining flight traffic at Santa Monica Airport," in a Sept. 20 letter to FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt. "Sensitivity about SMO traffic has most recently been heightened following a test initiated by the FAA in December 2009 to change the flight path of certain SMO departures to separate traffic from flight de- parting Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in order to reduce air- craft idling times at both airports. Regrettably, the FAA failed to conduct meaningful community outreach about the goals and objectives of the ex- pected impact of the six-month test. While supporters of the test wel- comed the air quality improvements associated with reduced idling, the Santa Monica Airport staff also received thousands of [noise] complaints from residents living in the vicinity of the tested flight -path. "It is imperative that the FAA produce a complete and thorough EIS and hold public meetings to explain the purpose and results of the recent flight -path test, hear from affected homeowners, and assess the broader safety, noise, and air quality impacts of air traffic in the midst of densely populated neighborhoods," Waxman and Harman wrote.
