The Aviation Noise Abatement Policy (ANAP) was adopted in November 1976 by which two entities?

• A. The Secretary of Transportation and the FAA
• B. The EPA and the FAA
• C. The White House and the FAA
• D. The Secretary of Defense and the FAA

Answer: (A)

ANAP was adopted by the Secretary of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration. This pairing shows how civil aviation noise policy was set at the cabinet level and carried out by the main agency that regulates and operates aviation. The FAA is the implementing body, while the Secretary of Transportation provides the high-level policy direction. The other options involve agencies that aren’t the ones responsible for civil aviation noise policy (EPA handles environmental matters, the White House is not an implementing agency, and the Department of Defense focuses on military aviation).
