Assurances: Non-airport sponsors undertaking noise compatibility program projects
This FAA document outlines the legal assurances that non-airport sponsors (such as local governments near an airport) must agree to when receiving federal grant funds for noise compatibility projects. Sponsors must comply with a wide range of federal laws, executive orders, and regulations — covering areas like civil rights, environmental protection, labor standards, and property acquisition — for the duration of the project, up to 20 years. These assurances become legally binding upon acceptance of the federal grant offer. -

Wesley Homes Terrace Aviation Easement Authorization to execute a settlement agreement
In April 2022, the Port of Seattle Commission considered authorizing a $1.29 million settlement with Wesley Homes to resolve a dispute over an avigation easement and aircraft noise at Wesley's Terrace Building near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Under the agreement, the Port would conduct acoustical testing, pursue FAA funding for noise mitigation, reimburse up to $250,000 of Wesley's legal fees, and commit to a full Part 150 noise study update for SEA Airport. Although the Port denied wrongdoing, it recommended settling to avoid the higher costs of going to trial.
