              SUBCHAPTER II--NATIONAL AVIATION NOISE POLICY
 
Sec. 47521. Findings

    Congress finds that--
        (1) aviation noise management is crucial to the continued 
    increase in airport capacity;
        (2) community noise concerns have led to uncoordinated and 
    inconsistent restrictions on aviation that could impede the national 
    air transportation system;
        (3) a noise policy must be carried out at the national level;
        (4) local interest in aviation noise management shall be 
    considered in determining the national interest;
        (5) community concerns can be alleviated through the use of new 
    technology aircraft and the use of revenues, including those 
    available from passenger facility fees, for noise management;
        (6) revenues controlled by the United States Government can help 
    resolve noise problems and carry with them a responsibility to the 
    national airport system;
        (7) revenues derived from a passenger facility fee may be 
    applied to noise management and increased airport capacity; and
        (8) a precondition to the establishment and collection of a 
    passenger facility fee is the prescribing by the Secretary of 
    Transportation of a regulation establishing procedures for reviewing 
    airport noise and access restrictions on operations of stage 2 and 
    stage 3 aircraft.
