    After consultation with the Administrator of the Environmental

agencies that the Secretary of Transportation considers appropriate, the 
Secretary shall by regulation--
        (1) establish a single system of measuring noise that--
            (A) has a highly reliable relationship between projected 
        noise exposure and surveyed reactions of individuals to noise; 
        and
            (B) is applied uniformly in measuring noise at airports and 
        the surrounding area;

        (2) establish a single system for determining the exposure of 
    individuals to noise resulting from airport operations, including 
    noise intensity, duration, frequency, and time of occurrence; and
        (3) identify land uses normally compatible with various 
    exposures of individuals to noise.
