and 47113), discrimination and related barriers con-
tinue to pose significant obstacles for minority- and 
women-owned businesses seeking to do business in 
airport-related markets across the Nation. These 
continuing barriers merit the continuation of the air-
port disadvantaged business enterprise program. 
(2) Congress has received and reviewed testi-
mony and documentation of race and gender dis-
crimination from numerous sources, including con-
gressional hearings and roundtables, scientific re-
ports, reports issued by public and private agencies, 
news stories, reports of discrimination by organiza-
tions and individuals, and discrimination lawsuits. 
This testimony and documentation shows that race- 
and gender-neutral efforts alone are insufficient to 
address the problem. 
(3) This testimony and documentation dem-
onstrates that discrimination across the Nation 
poses a barrier to full and fair participation in air-
port-related businesses of women business owners 
and minority business owners in the racial groups 
detailed in parts 23 and 26 of title 49, Code of Fed-
eral Regulations, and has impacted firm develop-
ment and many aspects of airport-related business 
in the public and private markets.

SEC. 137. RNAV DEPARTURE PROCEDURES. 
When proposing a new area navigation departure pro-
cedure, or amending an existing procedure that would di-
rect aircraft between the surface and 6,000 feet above 
ground level over noise sensitive areas, the Administrator 
of the Federal Aviation Administration shall consider the 
feasibility of dispersal headings or other lateral track vari-
ations to address community noise concerns, if— 
(1) the affected airport operator, in consulta-
tion with the affected community, submits a request 
to the Administrator for such a consideration; 
(2) the airport operator’s request would not, in 
the judgment of the Administrator, conflict with the 
safe and efficient operation of the national airspace 
system; and 
(3) the effect of a modified departure procedure 
would not significantly increase noise over noise sen-
sitive areas, as determined by the Administrator.
