This Appendix also <br /> provides sample policies for each of the four compatibility factors, as provided in the 2011 <br /> Handbook, and information about other compatibility concerns that are typically addressed in <br /> ALUCPs. <br /> B.2IJoisev <br /> Noise generated by the operation of aircraft is one of the primary factors that drives land use <br /> compatibility planning. Aircraft noise is generally the most recognizable issues for those living <br /> and working in the vicinity of an airport, and depending on the size of the airport and the types of <br /> operations it accommodates,the geographic extent to which aircraft noise can be experienced is <br /> potentially great. <br /> B.2.1 Noise Policy Foundations <br /> Federal and state statutes and regulations establish the basis for local development of airport <br /> plans, analyses of airport impacts, and enactment of compatibility policies. Brief descriptions of <br /> selected statutes,regulations, and policies having particular significance to noise issues are <br /> provided in the following paragraphs. <br /> Federal .8tatuteslandhRegulationsv <br /> The following federal regulations and statutes are the most influential from the standpoint of land <br /> use compatibility planning for aircraft noise. <br /> Statutesv <br /> Among the stated purposes of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979 (ASNA)is <br /> "to provide assistance to airport operators to prepare and carry out noise compatibility programs." <br /> The law establishes eligibility requirements for noise compatibility planning funding. The law <br /> does not require airports to develop noise compatibility programs—the decision to do so is within <br /> SanfCarlosfAirportV B-1 ESAfAirportsf/130753f <br /> ALUCPf W hitef Pape/ Junef2014f <br />
