Discuss updates related to the StART federal policy agenda. Meeting Summary: I. Facilitator welcome, introduction and meeting agenda, Brian Scott from BDS Planning & Urban Design II. New Federal Policy Agenda Items, Eric Schinfeld, Port of Seattle 1. EPA Grant Program, Amanda Wyman-Bradley, Office of Congressman Adam Smith o Congressman Smith is working on a new evidence-based policy to develop a pilot grant program through the Environmental Protection Agency to research and collect data on aircraft and airport noise and emissions and to use such information and data to develop a mitigation strategy, and for other purposes. It aims to create a two-part grant program: i. Communities to work with universities to study emissions & noise cumulatively to study what parts of an airport community are most impacted. Airport communities could apply with their local organizations to break down where are the neighborhoods adjacent to airport that are most impacted and to show what are they impacted by. ii. Community organizations to partner with local government to create a community action plan to drive resources and explore impacts such as public health. o The bill wants to get outside of the FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) framework to create an entirely separate program for communities to solve…

StART enhances cooperation between the Port of Seattle and the neighboring communities of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Federal Policy Working Group MEETING SUMMARY APR I L 5, 2021; 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM VIA ZOOM V IDEOCONFERENCE Meeting Objectives: Presentation on legislative outlook by guest speaker. Discuss updates related to the StART federal policy agenda. Meeting Summary: I. Facilitator welcome, introduction and meeting agenda, Brian Scott from BDS Planning & Urban Design II. Potential Aircraft Noise and Emissions Policy Opportunities for 2021, Annie Russo, Senior Vice President of Government and Political Affairs, Airports Council International – North America Infrastructure Plan - The Biden Administration’s major infrastructure plan presents new opportunities. While the bulk of the plan is geared toward highways and surface transportation - and not airports - some of the funds would go to airport improvement programs. These programs include noise abatement and insulation, air traffic control towers, and sustainable terminal projects. There are two avenues forward: 1. Bipartisan bill o President Biden favors a bipartisan bill, which would open the door for policy changes in terms of eligibility for projects. o A bipartisan bill would require 60 votes for Senate approval. 2. Budget reconciliation o Because this is a fiscal-only process it is really difficult to make policy changes through this path. o Budget reconciliation would only require 50 votes for Senate approval. Annual Appropriations – This presents new opportunities on new policies even if the Biden administration’s appropriation budget is not yet known. This year Congress re-instituted earmarks…
