Friday, February 26 Aircraft Noise and Emissions Legislation in the Next Congress: Priorities, Perspectives, and Predictions Session Chairs: Anne Hollander, Montgomery County Quiet Skies, Anne Kohut, Airport Noise Report/Aviation Emissions Report, Dave Carbone, LGN Aviation Policy Group, This session will focus on federal legislation addressing aircraft noise and emissions that is likely to be introduced or reintroduced during the 117th U.S. Congress, which convened on Jan. 3, 2021. The new Congress must balance the needs of a struggling aviation industry battered by COVID-19 with the growing demands of communities seeking relief from aviation health and environmental impacts. Speakers from a variety of perspectives will share their thoughts regarding legislative priorities and specific provisions that might have enough support to pass the House and Senate in light of the outcome of the Nov. 3 presidential and congressional elections. Could the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 be amended? What are communities’ legislative priorities? What legislation will the House Quiet Skies Caucus introduce? Could there be any win-win legislative outcomes for the industry and communities? Join this session and find out.
