Where Federal funding is sought, requests for project grants must be submitted to the FAA Airports District Office in College Park, Georgia. The City of Atlanta submitted to the FAA on March 29, 2007, the Noise Exposure Maps, descriptions, and other documentation produced during the noise compatibility planning study conducted from February 6, 2003, through September 5, 2007. The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Noise Exposure Maps were determined by FAA to be in compliance with applicable requirements on April 10, 2007. Notice of this determination was published in the Federal Register on April 10, 2007. The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport study contains a proposed Noise Compatibility Program comprised of actions designed for phased implementation by airport management and adjacent jurisdictions from September 5, 2007 beyond the year 2012. It was requested that FAA evaluate and approve this material as a Noise Compatibility Program as described in section 47504 of the Act. The FAA began is review of the Program on September 7, 2007, and was required by a provision of the Act to approve or disapprove the program within 180 days (other than the use of new or modified flight procedures for noise control). Failure to approve or disapprove such program within the 180-day period shall be deemed to be an approval of such program. The submitted program contained seven (7) proposed actions for noise mitigation on and off the airport. The FAA completed its review and determined that the procedural and substantive requirements of the Act and 14 CFR part 150 have been satisfied. The overall program, therefore, was approved by the FAA effective January 24, 2008. Outright approval was granted for all of the specific program elements. These determinations are set forth in detail in a Record of Approval signed by the FAA on January 24, 2008. The Record of Approval, as well as other evaluation materials and the documents comprising the submittal, are available for review at the FAA office listed above and at the administrative office of the City of Atlanta. The Record of Approval also will be available on-line at: https://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/ airports/environmental/airport_noise/ part_150/states/.

Background There is a growing consensus among transportation policymakers and economists that existing financing mechanisms for highway and aviation infrastructure are unsustainable in the long-term and will be unable to keep pace with projected demands on the transportation network. In May 2006, the National Strategy to Reduce Congestion on America’s Transportation Network was introduced by the U.S. Department of Transportation to set forth several initiatives to relieve congestion.1 The Express Lanes 1 Speaking before the National Retail Federation’s annual conference on May 16, 2006, in Washington, DC, former U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta unveiled a new plan to reduce congestion plaguing America’s roads, rails, and airports. The National Strategy to Reduce Congestion on America’s Transportation Network includes a number of initiatives designed to reduce transportation congestion.
