1980-02-18Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979, Public Law 96-193
★ 32The Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-193) requires the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to establish uniform standards for measuring airport noise and its impact on surrounding communities. Airport operators may voluntarily submit noise exposure maps and noise compatibility programs outlining steps to reduce incompatible land uses near airports, such as soundproofing buildings, adjusting flight procedures, or acquiring nearby land. The federal government can fund up to 80% of approved noise compatibility projects, with grants available to airport operators and local government units in affected areas. -

1983-08-05Noise control and compatibility planning for airports
This 1983 FAA Advisory Circular (AC 150/5020-1) provides guidance for airports on noise control and land-use compatibility planning under FAR Part 150 and the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979. It outlines a standardized system for measuring airport noise, identifying compatible and incompatible land uses near airports, and developing Noise Exposure Maps and Noise Compatibility Programs. Participation in the program is voluntary, and it aims to reduce existing noise conflicts around airports while preventing new incompatible development through cooperation among airport operators, planners, and community members. -
