The Late-Night Noise Limitation Program is a voluntary Port of Seattle initiative that monitors aircraft noise at Sea-Tac Airport between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m., using four close-in noise monitors to track takeoffs and landings that exceed established thresholds. Airlines that violate these thresholds receive penalty scores under the Port's Fly Quiet Incentive Program, which has evaluated airline noise compliance since 2005. The program, developed in 2019 as an outcome of the Sea-Tac Stakeholder Advisory Round Table (StART), aims to encourage air carriers to schedule flights during less noise-sensitive hours or switch to quieter aircraft.

The Sea-Tac Stakeholder Advisory Round Table (StART) met on February 27, 2019 to discuss ongoing airport noise reduction efforts, including updates to the Runway Use Agreement, late-night noise limits, and a recommendation to adjust Runway 34R's glideslope to reduce noise impacts on neighboring communities. The meeting also previewed the newly formed Federal Policy Working Group and introduced a concept for reducing taxiing noise by changing how arriving aircraft move to the terminal. Community members and city representatives from SeaTac, Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, Tukwila, and Federal Way participated in small group discussions to help set StART's priorities for 2019.

This February 2019 Scoping Report summarizes the public and agency input process for the environmental review of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Near-Term Projects, which are planned for construction by 2027. The Port of Seattle and the FAA conducted a 60-day scoping period from July 30 to September 28, 2018, gathering community feedback through public meetings, newspaper ads, direct mail, and social media in five languages. The report documents the scope of environmental issues to be studied, including potential noise and other impacts, under both federal (NEPA) and state (SEPA) environmental review requirements.

This Scoping Report, published February 12, 2019, documents the public and agency scoping process conducted by the Port of Seattle for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Near-Term Projects Environmental Review. It summarizes scoping meetings held with agencies and the public, common themes raised by commenters, and organizes the written comments received during the scoping period.
