After consulting appropriate environmental and government agencies, the Secretary must establish one uniform noise-measurement system, one system for measuring people’s airport-noise exposure, and land-use compatibility categories.

After consulting the EPA Administrator and the Federal, State, and interstate agencies the Secretary considers appropriate, the Secretary must regulate: (1) a single noise-measurement system that reliably relates projected noise exposure to surveyed individual reactions and is used uniformly at airports and nearby areas; (2) a single system for determining people’s exposure to airport-operation noise, including its intensity, duration, frequency, and time of occurrence; and (3) land uses normally compatible with various levels of people’s noise exposure.
