This 1995 FAA Decision and Order addresses longstanding air traffic congestion and inefficiency problems at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), stemming from outdated flight route procedures established in the 1970s. The document explains that existing arrival and departure routes caused safety concerns, reduced airport capacity, and increased controller workload, particularly when runway directions changed multiple times daily. It also notes that the so-called 'noise abatement' procedures from 1974 were not based on any coherent noise reduction plan, but were largely the result of moving flight paths away from communities that had complained.

This archival record (Box 01290, Historical Box 1322) contains administrative files from 1992–1994 related to Sea-Tac Airport planning and noise policy, including litigation documents, Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) comments on a proposed third runway, capacity enhancement plans, and correspondence from citizens, city officials, and state agencies.
