Subject: Amendment to the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Noise Compatibility 

Program 

Dear Mr. Seritt: 

The City of Atlanta/Department of Aviation (DOA) is seeking to amend the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta 

International Airport's (A TL) NCP in order to comply with a United States District Court Consent Order 

dated May 25, 2010, by and among the City of College Park and Charles E. Phillips, Sr. (Plaintiffs) and 

the City of Atlanta and Shirley Franklin, in her official capacity as Mayor of the City of Atlanta 

(Defendants); Civil Action No. 1!>8-CV- 1464. 

In a September 14, 20!2 letter, the DOA transmitted proposed NCP amendment text to the ADO. After 

further coordination , it was determined that the DOA needed to seek public comment on the proposed 

NCP amendment. A legal advertisement was placed in the March 10,2013 Atlanta Journal-Constitution 

that contained the proposed NCP amendment text. Additionally, a similar notice was posted on the 

Atlanta Airport Web site, atlanta-airport.com. The public comment period granted was 30 days. 

One public comment was received. The comment was from Steve Fincher, the city attorney for College 

Park. The DOA acknowledges his comment, but does not deem it sufficiently substantive to warrant 

changing the proposed NCP amendment text or making any other changes to the NCP. 

Having completed seeking public comment on the NCP amendment, the DOA respectfully requests that 

the FAA accept the amendment. 

Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions. 

Sincerely yours, 

Thomas E.Nissalke, Ph.D.

Program 

Dear Mr. Seritt: 

The purpose of this letter is to formally amend Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport's (ATL) 

NCP in order to comply with a United States District Court Consent Order dated May 25, 2010, by and 

among the City of College Park and Charles E. Phillips, Sr. (Plaintiffs) and the City of Atlanta and 

Shirley Franklin, in her official capacity as Mayor of the City of Atlanta (Defendants); Civil Action No. 

1:08-CV-1464 (the "Consent Order", a copy of which is attached). The City of Atlanta ("City") entered 

into the Consent Order in compliance with the FAA's directives to coordinate Part 150 programs with 

local jurisdictions. 

Accordingly, pursuant to numbered paragraph 4 (entitled "PART 150 PROGRAM") of the Consent 

Order, the City hereby modifies ATL's NCP to memorialize coordination with College Park by adding 

the following language as a new Section 6.10 to the NCP: 

Section 6.10 Compliance with Federal Consent Order 

The City of Atlanta and City of Co!lege Park entered into a United States District Court 

Consent Order dated May 25, 2010. The Consent Order prohibits Atlanta from certain 

land acquisition activities within the College Park city limits. 

Other than the Clubhouse Apartments, located at 3800 Herschel Road. no apartment 

complexes located within the city limits of the City of College Park may be acquired 

without the consent of the City of College Park. For purposes of this prohibition, an 

apartment complex shall mean any building with four or more residential units. 

The addition of this NCP section does not affect other NCP measures currently in place. Additionally, 

inclusion of Section 6.10 does not have the potential to impact INM input data used to develop currently 

approved noise exposure maps or the draft 2012 and draft 2017 maps that are currently under public 

revJew.
