    FAA Airport Compliance Manual

    This FAA document (Order 5190.6B), effective September 30, 2009, is the FAA Airport Compliance Manual, which guides FAA personnel on how to interpret and enforce the federal obligations that airport sponsors assume when they accept federal grant funds or federally owned property. It covers the rules and assurances airports must follow to remain in compliance with federal law, including how properties can be used and what commitments sponsors make to the U.S. government. The manual is administered by the FAA Airport Compliance Division in Washington, DC.

    DCA Reagan National – Nighttime Noise Rule

    DCA Nighttime Noise Rule History: Since 1941, Reagan National (DCA) has operated as a commercial airfield, 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. In the early 1980s, louder aircraft operating at Reagan National prompted the FAA – the original airport operator – to impose nighttime noise limits and the ability to fine non-compliant operations between 10 p.m. and 6:59 a.m. which became known

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport.
