Title: Requirement for Wildlife Assessments at Certificated Airports 
Abstract: This rulemaking would require a Wildlife Hazard Assessment (scientific evaluation of wildlife populations and their attractants) for certificated airports. This rulemaking would also require periodic completion of a wildlife hazard assessment, or continuous wildlife monitoring as an alternative to the assessment, and clarify requirements for those conducting an assessment. This rulemaking is intended to decrease direct hazards (animals striking aircraft) and indirect hazards (animal burrowing and nesting in or near aircraft or aircraft operations areas).
