This FAA document outlines the legal assurances that planning agency sponsors must agree to when receiving federal grant funds for airport development, planning, or noise compatibility programs. Sponsors certify compliance with a broad range of federal laws, executive orders, and regulations—including civil rights, disability, and environmental requirements—and must maintain proper financial records subject to federal audit. The agreement remains binding for the full life of the funded project.

Washington State's Substitute House Bill 1847, signed into law on March 25, 2020, expands the aircraft noise abatement programs available to port districts by lowering the threshold for eligibility from airports serving more than 900 scheduled jet flights per day (previously 20). The law also enlarges the geographic 'impacted areas' around runways where noise relief programs—such as soundproofing, property acquisition, and transaction assistance—can be offered, extending coverage from six to ten miles north and up to thirteen miles south of runway ends, and from one to two miles from runway centerlines.

This FAA Advisory Circular (AC 150/5200-33C), issued February 21, 2020, provides guidance on land uses and development projects near public-use airports that may attract hazardous wildlife such as birds, mammals, and reptiles, which pose serious safety and economic risks to aircraft. It outlines recommended practices for airport operators, land-use planners, and federally funded airport projects to assess and mitigate wildlife hazards, though compliance is voluntary except for airports holding operating certificates under 14 CFR Part 139 or receiving federal grant funding. The document updates and replaces the previous 2007 version of the same circular.
