Whereas with the help of the FAA, airports across the United 
States have established programs to successfully reduce 
noise pollution, including programs providing for the 
soundproofing of homes and schools; 
Whereas the use of preferential flight tracks, the use of cer-
tain arrival and departures procedures, and the use of 
quieter planes may also mitigate noise pollution; 
Whereas airport noise reduction programs must be designed 
to meet the specific needs and concerns of airports and 
their surrounding communities; and 
Whereas subchapter II of chapter 475 of title 49, United 
States Code, popularly known as the Airport Noise and 
Capacity Act of 1990, provides a process by which air-
ports may mandate restrictions on airport noise and ac-
cess with FAA approval: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) urges the Federal Aviation Administration 
to continue its cooperation with airports across the 
United States seeking to implement noise mitigation 
plans; and 
(2) encourages the Federal Aviation Adminis-
