INTRODUCTION

11
On October 11, 2013, Resolution No 3683 was passed by Commission approving the Part 150 to be
12
submitted to the FAA for review. The FAA issued a P150 record of approval June 5, 2014. While past
13
implementation was limited due to funding availability, significant work was completed. However, critical
14
elements of the program remain. Accelerating the remainder of sound insulation programs is essential to
15
providing relief to those local communities impacted by aircraft noise.
