REDUCING COMMUNITY AIRCRAFT NOISE EXPOSURE.

SEC. 787. [49 U.S.C. 47501 note] REDUCING COMMUNITY AIRCRAFT NOISE EXPOSURE. In implementing or substantially revising a flight procedure, the Administrator shall consider the following actions (to the extent that such actions do not negatively affect aviation safety or efficiency) to reduce undesirable aircraft noise: (1) Implement flight procedures that can mitigate the impact of aircraft noise, based on a consensus community recommendation. (2) Work with airport sponsors and potentially impacted neighboring communities in establishing or modifying aircraft arrival and departure routes. (3) In collaboration with local governments, discourage local encroachment of residential or other buildings near airports that could create future aircraft noise complaints or impact airport operations or aviation safety.
