This July 2019 briefing presented to the Highline Forum outlines Sea-Tac Airport's sound mitigation efforts under the FAA's Part 150 program, a voluntary federal framework that helps airports address noise and land use conflicts while qualifying for up to 80% federal grant funding. Sea-Tac's program, which began in 1985 and has undergone three updates (most recently in 2014), has involved extensive public outreach including workshops, city council presentations, and community forums. The briefing highlights that Sea-Tac Airport has been actively working to reduce aviation noise impacts on surrounding communities for more than 30 years.

The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study, approved by the Port of Seattle Commission in October 2013 and later by the FAA, aims to identify and reduce aircraft noise impacts on surrounding communities. The study developed noise exposure maps for 2013 and projected 2018 conditions, evaluated air traffic control procedures, and considered land use controls to limit noise-sensitive development in high-noise areas. Sea-Tac is recognized for having one of the most comprehensive airport noise reduction programs in the nation, with measures including a 'fly-quiet' program and sound insulation assistance for affected residents.

A consulting team addresses two community concerns about Seattle-Tacoma International Airport: the lack of a direct NEPA environmental review covering noise impact growth between 2012 and 2018, and questions about how the airport's third runway is being used. The document explains that while current NEPA and Part 150 processes will capture existing noise conditions, they will not specifically compare 2012 versus 2018 impacts, and that federally funded runways like the third runway must be made available whenever air traffic control deems it necessary. The consultants propose reviewing historical Part 150 studies, past NEPA documents, and third-runway records to assess noise impacts on surrounding communities, while also supporting clients in engaging the Port, FAA, and airlines through the StART committee and other channels.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport received $14,526,800 to reconstruct taxiways and rehabilitate Runway 16L/34R, plus $1,876,800 for residential noise mitigation, as part of a multi-airport FAA funding infographic covering major U.S. airports.
This report summarizes annual trends on issues regarding noise exposure from the City of Phoenix’s three airports, Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX), Phoenix Deer Valley (DVT), andPhoenix Goodyear (GYR) for calendar year 2018. The report includes information on operational counts, aircraft fleet mix, noise complaints, runway usage, noise abatement procedures, noise monitoring, and general aviation
The Airport Improvement Program (AIP) provides grants to public agencies — and, in some cases, to private owners and entities — for the planning and development of public-use airports that are included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). See the AIP Glossary for a description of AIP-related terms. Grant History Look Up
The Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Program allows the collection of PFC fees up to $4.50 for every enplaned passenger at commercial airports controlled by public agencies. PFCs are capped at $4.50 per flight segment with a maximum of two PFCs charged on a one-way trip or four PFCs on a round trip, for a maximum
