Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport - FAA Administration Legal Opinion

May 13, 1999	Burbank Airport Legal Opinion	Burbank Airport - Noise Issue	HTML
	Attachment: Letter to Congressman Berman Letters to Sherman, Boxer, Rogan & Feinstein Not Included - Letters Read the Same

This is a legal opinion concerning whether the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority has an intergovernmental agreement including a cap, mandatory curfew, and other airport noise and access restrictions in effect on November 1, 1990. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has carefully considered the materials submitted by the parties. Based on the plain language and legislative history of the relevant Federal and state statutes and a textual analysis of the relevant intergovernmental agreements, the FAA concludes that the intergovernmental agreement exemption under the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (Airport Noise Act) does not apply to those airport noise and access restrictions.

Comments of Associacion Internacional de Transporte Aereo Latino Americano

Security Programs of Foreign Air Carriers

AITAL believes that the proposed rule, which is based on the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, clearly violates international law, including the provisions of various multilateral and bilateral aviation agreements, and is contrary to the spirit of cooperation and globalism that traditionally has characterized international aviation. This fundamental flaw in the proposed rule cannot be remedied through minor amendment or greater explanation—the United States is simply without authority or jurisdiction to adopt and apply unilaterally to non-U.S. carriers at non-U.S. points the sweeping proposal contained in the NPRM. The proposed rule additionally diminishes the role of multilateral organizations in the area of security, and could lead to the greater erosion of respect for the principles and institutions of the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
