Aviation and the Environment Faas Role in Major Airport Noise Programs

Because of concerns about airport-related noise, the Congress asked GAO to determine: (1) the types of projects that are eligible for federally authorized funding to reduce airport-related noise or mitigate its effects; (2) the differences in the major methods for measuring the impact of airport-related noise; (3) FAA's current noise standards for civil subsonic turbojets & the reasons some of those aircraft are not required to comply with these or earlier standards; & (4) the status of FAA's Land Use Planning Initiative & the major issues the initiative has raised about how best to address airport-related noise.
