14 CFR Chapter I 

Noise, Fuel Burn, and Emissions 

Modeling Using the Aviation 

Environmental Design Tool Version 2b 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Policy statement. 

SUMMARY: This document provides a 

statement of FAA policy concerning the 

required use of the Aviation 

Environmental Design Tool version 2b 

(AEDT 2b) to analyze noise, fuel burn, 

and emissions for FAA actions. The 

policy statement is intended to ensure 

consistency and quality of analysis 

performed to assess noise, fuel burn, 

and emissions impacts of such actions 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended, 

42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. 

DATES: Effective May 29, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

FAA Order 1050.1, Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures, 

describes FAA policies and procedures 

for compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). 

Aircraft noise, air pollutant emissions, 

and fuel burn are interdependent and 

occur simultaneously throughout all 

phases of flight. AEDT 2b is a 

comprehensive software tool that 

provides information to FAA 

stakeholders on each of these specific 

environmental impacts. AEDT 2b 

facilitates environmental review 

activities required under NEPA by 

consolidating the modeling of these 

environmental impacts in a single tool. 

For air traffic airspace and procedure 

actions, AEDT 2b replaces AEDT 2a, 

which was released by the FAA in 

March 2012. For other FAA actions, 

AEDT 2b replaces the Integrated Noise 

Model (INM) for analyzing aircraft noise 

and the Emissions and Dispersion 

Modeling System (EDMS) for 

developing emissions inventories and 

modeling emissions dispersion. AEDT 

2b applies to analyses initiated after 

May 29, 2015. 

Policy Statement 

Effective May 29, 2015, AEDT 2b 

replaces AEDT 2a, INM, and EDMS as 

the required tool for noise, fuel burn, 

and emissions modeling of FAA actions. 

Consistent with current FAA policy and 

practice, the use of AEDT 2b is not 

required for projects whose analysis 

began before the effective date of this 

policy. In the event AEDT 2b is updated 

after the environmental analysis process 

is underway, the updated version may, 

but need not, be used to provide 

additional disclosure concerning noise, 

fuel burn, and emissions. 

This policy statement is issued to 

ensure consistency and quality of 

analysis performed to comply with 

requirements under the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.

Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR): 

Reinstatement of Exemptions Related 

to Temporary Exports, Carnets, and 

Shipments Under a Temporary Import 

Bond 

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, 

Commerce Department. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census 

(Census Bureau) issued a final rule 

amending the Foreign Trade Regulations 

(FTR) to eliminate the reporting 

requirement for temporary exports, 

which includes Carnets, and goods 

previously imported on a Temporary 

Import Bond (TIB). This final rule is 

being implemented to ensure 

consistency with the Customs 

Convention on the ATA Carnet for the 

Temporary Admission of Goods (ATA 

Convention) and reduce filing burden 

on the trade community. On September 

12, 2014, the Census Bureau published 

this rule on an interim final basis. The 

Census Bureau is finalizing this rule 

without change. 

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is 

effective May 15, 2015. The interim rule 

published on September 12, 2014 (79 FR 

54588), became effective September 12, 

2014.
