 resolution2 which was referred to the  
,committee on ,transportation and       
,infrastructure  ,,resolution  ,urging  
the ,federal ,aviation ,administration  
to continue its cooperation with        
airports across the ,united ,states     
seeking to implement noise mitigation   
plans1 and for other purposes4  ,whereas
 the ,federal ,aviation ,administration 
7,,faa7 has a long history of           
collaborating with ,federal1 ,state1 and
 local officials in efforts to implement
 noise mitigation plans2 ,whereas       
significant noise pollution can have    
adverse impacts on education1 commerce1 
quality of life1 sleep patterns1 and    
home values2 ,whereas the ,next         
,generation ,air ,transportation ,system
 7,next,gen7 is successfully reducing   
noise pollution at airports across the  
,united ,states2 ,whereas with the help 

of the ,,faa1 airports across the       
,united ,states have established        
programs to successfully reduce noise   
pollution1 including programs providing 
for the soundproofing of homes and      
schools2 ,whereas the use of            
preferential flight tracks1 the use of  
certain arrival and departure           
procedures1 and the use of quieter      
planes may also mitigate noise          
pollution2 ,whereas airport noise       
reduction programs must be designed to  
meet the specific needs and concerns of 
airports and their surrounding          
communities2 and ,whereas subchapter    
,,ii of chapter #dge of title #di1      
,united ,states ,code1 popularly known  
as the ,airport ,noise and ,capacity    
,act of #aiij1 provides a process by    
which airports may mandate restrictions 
on airport noise and access with ,,faa  
approval3 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that 
the ,house of ,representatives--  7#a7  
urges the ,federal ,aviation            
,administration to continue its         

cooperation with airports across the    
,united ,states that are seeking to     
implement noise mitigation plans2 and   
7#b7 encourages the ,federal ,aviation  
,administration to continue its         
implementation of the ,next ,generation 
,air ,transportation ,system 7,next,gen7
 and other efforts to enhance the safety
 of air travel and help decrease noise
