 World Airline News: ICAO Breaks Political Logjam To Establish Noise Framework
An ICAO source said that consensus on the resolution was reached on the final evening of the ICAO assembly, with the assembly to vote on all resolutions the next day.
The ICAO source said the resolution is "flexible enough to be acceptable [to all parties], and precise enough to solve the Article 84 [hushkit] dispute." Because the ICAO noise resolution is very general in key areas, nations must still implement more detailed provisions, while observing the principles developed by ICAO.
The ICAO source said that these discussions were crucial in gaining consensus on the ICAO resolution, as it enabled officials to identify common principles.

 Aviation and the Global Atmosphere
The ICAO strategic action plan acknowledged “a perception that the aviation sector may be contributing unduly to both existing and future environmental problems.” The ICAO program of implementation action on the strategic action plan for the 1996—98 triennium lists several activities that could be relevant to environmental issues (ICAO, 1997c).
At the ICAO assembly in September/October 1998, the ICAO Council was asked to study policy options to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions from civil aviation—taking into account the findings of this IPCC Special Report and the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol—and to report to the Assembly at its next ordinary session in 2001.
ICAO was also asked to work with SBSTA to consider the various options for allocation of emissions from international aviation (ICAO, 1998b).

 7/29/96 NCI Letter to ICAO
Your letter states "there are issues which ICAO and IAEA have identified as requiring further study." We believe these unresolved issues are central to the question of whether it is safe to transport radioactive materials by air under the amended guidelines.
Until these safety issues are resolved, we urge ICAO and the other international aviation organizations publicly to oppose adoption of the amended guidelines and to communicate their opposition promptly to the IAEA Board of Governors.
ICAO has been critical of the impact speed specified by the IAEA's impact test as unrealistically low and not representative of actual aircraft accident conditions.

 About the Open Letter to the ICAO
In this sense, the ICAO is setting domestic policy, implementing ID systems where previously none may have existed, or enhancing ID documentation through using biometrics, and increasing the data sets in national databases, or creating them when none previously existed.
Although the use of a single biometric technology by all States is preferred by the ICAO to ensure interoperability, "[h]owever, it is also recognized that some States may conclude it desirable to deploy two biometrics on the same document." Already the EU is discussing requiring fingerprints in passports.
The ICAO is aware, however, that there are contentious legal issues involved with the infrastructure for these passports, including the collisions between the goals of centralizing citizens' biometrics and protecting privacy laws, and with 'cultural practices'.

 Remarks on Airline Noise Standards by ICAO Council U.S. Member 092100   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Consequently, I would like to outline the process by which the 185 ICAO member states are taking on the colossal task of reaching agreement on noise standards and then discuss the dispute pending between the United States and member States of the European Union (EU) over the hushkit regulation.
The ICAO Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP), a special technical committee of the ICAO Council, is comprised of representatives of the United States and 17 other countries.
If the ICAO Council adopts a new noise certification standard and if the ICAO Assembly adopts a resolution on transition guidelines, these policies are not binding on airlines operating in the United States unless and until they are adopted into U.S. law by an act of Congress, as in 1990, or as U.S. regulations.
