Sec. 161.205  Required analysis of proposed restriction and alternatives.



    (a) Each airport operator proposing a noise or access restriction on 

Stage 2 aircraft operations shall prepare the following and make it 

available for public comment:

    (1) An analysis of the anticipated or actual costs and benefits of 

the proposed noise or access restriction;

    (2) A description of alternative restrictions; and

    (3) A description of the alternative measures considered that do not 

involve aircraft restrictions, and a comparison of the costs and 

benefits of such alternative measures to costs and benefits of the 

proposed noise or access restriction.

    (b) In preparing the analyses required by this section, the airport 

operator shall use the noise measurement systems and identify the 

airport noise study area as specified in Sec. Sec. 161.9 and 161.11, 

respectively; shall use currently accepted economic methodology; and 

shall provide separate detail on the costs and benefits of the proposed 

restriction with respect to the operations of Stage 2 aircraft weighing 

less than 75,000 pounds if the restriction applies to this class. The 

airport operator shall specify the methods used to analyze the costs and 

benefits of the proposed restriction and the alternatives.

    (c) The kinds of information set forth in Sec. 161.305 are useful 

elements of an adequate analysis of a noise or access restriction on 

Stage 2 aircraft operations.
