    Airport noise and access restrictions

    This FAA guidance document (5190.6B, Chapter 13) explains the rules and responsibilities surrounding airport noise and access restrictions. It outlines how authority is shared among the federal government, airport sponsors, and state and local governments — with the federal government holding primary control over airspace management and aircraft noise standards, while airport sponsors like Sea-Tac are responsible for local noise reduction planning within defined legal limits. Any restrictions affecting Stage 2 or Stage 3 aircraft operations must comply with the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (ANCA) and the FAA's 14 CFR Part 161 review and approval process.

It outlines requirements for airport operators to consult with aviation groups, local agencies, and the public when developing noise exposure maps and compatibility programs. The circular also describes strategies for managing noise-impacted land, including acquisition for public uses, compatible resale with retained easements, and community involvement in the planning process.
