    the areas immediately surrounding the airports;

    In this section, before clause (1), the words ``conduct a study and 

decide on'' are substituted for ``determine by a study'' for clarity. 

The words ``with a maximum weight of not more than'' are substituted for 

``weighing less than'' for consistency with sections 47528 and 47529 of 

the revised title.
