Pt. 151

the operation of aircraft to reduce exposure
of individuals (or specific noise sensitive
areas) to noise in the area around the air-
port.

(5) The implementation of any restriction

on the use of airport by any type or class of
aircraft based on the noise characteristics of
those aircraft. Such restrictions may in-
clude, but are not limited to—

(i) Denial of use of the airport to aircraft

types or classes which do not meet Federal
noise standards;

(ii) Capacity limitations based on the rel-

ative noisiness of different types of aircraft;

(iii) Requirement that aircraft using the

airport must use noise abatement takeoff or
approach procedures previously approved as
safe by the FAA;

(iv) Landing fees based on FAA certificated

or estimated noise emission levels or on time
of arrival; and

(v) Partial or complete curfews.
(6) Other actions or combinations of ac-

tions which would have a beneficial noise
control or abatement impact on the public.

(7) Other actions recommended for analysis

by the FAA for the specific airport.

plementation, the program must identify the
agency or agencies responsible for such im-
plementation, whether those agencies have
agreed to the implementation, and the ap-
proximate schedule agreed upon.

Sec. B150.9

Equivalent programs.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of

this part, noise compatibility programs pre-
pared in connection with studies which were
either Federally funded or Federally ap-
proved and commenced before October 1,
1981, are not required to be modified to con-
tain the following items:

(1) Flight tracks.
(2) A noise contour of L

70 dB resulting

from aircraft operations and data related to
the L

70 dB contour. When determinations

on land use compatibility using Table 1 of
appendix A differ between L

65–70 dB and

70–75 dB, the determinations should ei-

ther use the more conservative L

70–75 dB

column or reflect determinations based on
local needs and values.

(3) The categorization of alternatives pur-

suant to Sec. B150.7(a), although the persons
responsible for implementation of each
measure in the program must still be identi-
fied in accordance with § 150.23(e)(8).

(4) Use of ambient noise to determine land

use compatibility.

(b) Previously prepared noise compat-

ibility program documentation may be sup-
plemented to include these and other pro-
gram requirements which have not been ex-
cepted.
