        (1) establish a single system of measuring noise that--

        noise exposure and surveyed reactions of individuals to noise; 

        and

            (B) is applied uniformly in measuring noise at airports and 

        the surrounding area;



        (2) establish a single system for determining the exposure of 

    individuals to noise resulting from airport operations, including 

    noise intensity, duration, frequency, and time of occurrence; and

        (3) identify land uses normally compatible with various 

    exposures of individuals to noise.
