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.
After consultation with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and United States Government, State, and interstate agencies that the Secretary of Transportation considers appropriate, the Secretary shall by regulation—
establish a single system of measuring noise that—
has a highly reliable relationship between projected noise exposure and surveyed reactions of individuals to noise; and
is applied uniformly in measuring noise at airports and the surrounding area;
establish a single system for determining the exposure of individuals to noise resulting from airport operations, including noise intensity, duration, frequency, and time of occurrence; and
identify land uses normally compatible with various exposures of individuals to noise.
