Background:

Tampa International Airport's last Part 150 Study and Noise Exposure Map was completed and approved in 2000/2001. The Authority's Board of Directors approved this project as part of the FY20 capital program. The first round of public outreach is expected to take place in March 2020. The project is expected to be completed in 2021. Public outreach is a critical component of this project so please stay tuned to this web page and our Noise Monitoring Office for additional information.

2000/2001 Part 150 Study: 

The Hillsborough County Aviation completed a 14 CFR Part 150 study, which was approved by the FAA in 2001 for Tampa International Airport. Additional information on Part 150 studies can be found at the following link to the Federal Aviation Administration's website:
