2. barriers, acoustical shielding, public building soundproofing 
3. preferential runway system 
4. flight procedures 
5. restrictions on type/class of aircraft (at least one restriction below must be checked) 
a. deny use based on Federal standards 
b. capacity limits based on noisiness 
c. noise abatement takeoff/approach 
procedures

7. other FAA recommendations 
B. Responsible implementing authority identified for each considered alternative? 
C. Analysis of alternative measures: 
1. measures clearly described? 
2. measures adequately analyzed? 
3. adequate reasoning for rejecting alternatives?
D. Other actions recommended by the FAA: Should other actions be added? (list separately or on back of this form actions and discussions with airport operator to have them included prior to the start of the 180-day cycle) 

A. Document clearly indicates: 
1. alternatives recommended for implementation? 
2. final recommendations are airport operator's, not those of consultant or third party?
B. Do all program recommendations: 
1. relate directly or indirectly to reduction of noise and noncompatibile land uses? 
2. contain description of contribution to overall effectiveness of program? 
3. noise/land use benefits quantified to extent possible? 
4. include actual/anticipated effect on reducing noise exposure within noncompatible area shown on NEM? 
5. effects based on relevant and reasonable expressed assumptions? 
6. have adequate supporting data to support its contribution to noise/land use compatibility?
C. Analysis appears to support program standards set forth in 150.35(b) and B150.5? 
D. When use restrictions are recommended: 
1. Are alternatives with potentially significant noise/compatible land use benefits thoroughly analyzed so that appropriate comparisons and conclusions can be made? 
2. use restriction coordinated with APP-600 prior to making determination on start of 180-days?
E. Do the following also meet Part 150 analytical standards: 
1. formal recommendations which continue existing practices? 
2. new recommendations or changes proposed at end of Part 150 process?
F. Documentation indicates how recommendations may change previously adopted plans? 
G. Documentation also:

2. indicates whether those agencies have agreed to implement? 
3. indicates essential government actions necessary to implement recommendations?
H. Timeframe:

2. indicates period covered by the program?
I. Funding/Costs: 
1. includes costs to implement alternatives? 
2. includes anticipated funding sources?
