Airport Noise and Capacity Act (ANCA) Approved by Congress in 1990. Limits an airport operator’s right to impose new restrictions on aircraft operations without obtaining federal approval. JWA’s noise and access restrictions are “grandfathered” under ANCA (as an intergovernmental agreement in place prior to enactment). ANCA provides that a “subsequent amendment” is not subject to ANCA provided the amendment does not further reduce or limit aircraft operations or affect aircraft safety. 8
