How is an Airport Project defined? • Includes all necessary components & tasks to provide required functional utility, satisfying the Overall Development Objective (ODO) • One ODO for single or multi-phase project • Runway extension (ODO) may include: • Environmental Assessment • Project Design • Land Acquisition (Concurrent/Prior) • Relocating NAVAIDS • Parallel Taxiway • Hold Apron • Construction of Extension • Lighting, Marking, Signage, etc • Commissioned

Noise Land Disposal Background • Concerns 106+ Airports with over 5000 acres of Acquired Noise Land • 2005 OIG Audit Found Need for Improvement in FAA Monitoring and Sponsor Management of Noise Land • 2008 FAA Disposal/Re-use Guidance Issued • Requirements for Airport Sponsors Inventory and Re-use/Disposal Plans • Airports may Retain Land for Airport/Aeronautical Use • Unneeded Land Must be Disposed for Compatible Development • FAA Acceptance of Inventories and Re-use Plans – FY 2008/09 • Since 2006 Inventory and Re-use Plan Required at Project Close-out
Noise Land Disposal Region Guidance to be Issued! Compliance Schedule • April 2007. The 11 airports included in the 2005 OIG audit submitted their noise land Inventory by April 2007. • March 2009. The 11 airports must submit their Re-Use Plan to FAA. • October 2009. Other airports with pre-2006 noise land grants submit Inventory and Reuse Plan. • Noise land acquisition grants issued in FY 2006 or later. Noise Land Inventories and Reuse Plans must be completed or updated by project completion, in accordance with the grant special condition. • Ongoing Monitoring. FAA will routinely monitor compliance and disposal progress as documented on accepted current inventory and reuse plan.
