maximum weight of not more than 75,000 pounds. In making the decision, 

the Secretary shall consider--

        (1) noise levels produced by those aircraft relative to other 

    aircraft;

    in the national air transportation system;

        (3) the differences in the nature of operations at airports and 

    the areas immediately surrounding the airports;

        (4) international standards and agreements on aircraft noise; 

    and

        (5) other factors the Secretary considers necessary.

    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.
