in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If the Secretary of Transportation disapproves a proposed airport noise restriction, the federal government is only liable for noise damages if that disapproval actually amounted to a taking of property. Only the U.S. Court of Federal Claims can hear this kind of lawsuit.

When a proposed airport noise or access restriction is disapproved under this subchapter, the United States Government assumes liability for noise damages only to the extent that a taking of property occurred as a direct result of that disapproval. The United States Court of Federal Claims has exclusive jurisdiction over a civil action under this section.
