The following federal programs and policies were evaluated to assist in determining where areas of improvement could enable better land use compatibility planning at the local level . This list is not an exhaustive accounting of all relevant federal laws or programs , but rather an identification of those considered to be most relevant for assessing compatibility issues and potential strategies stakeholders might employ to avoid or mitigate conflicts .
Air Force Instruction 32-7063 Air Installations Compatible Use Zones ( AICUZ ) Program Air Force Instruction 32‐7063 was updated in 2015 to implement the Air Installations Compatible Use Zones ( AICUZ ) and Air Force Directive ( AFPD ) 90‐20 , Encroachment Management . The Instruction applies to all Air Force installations with active runways . The Instruction identifies the requirements to implement and maintain the AICUZ program and implements AFPD by identifying the requirements for compatible land use and development to preserve operational capability . The Instruction provides land use tables , which sets land use compatibility guidelines within the Clear Zones and Accident Potential Zones as well as for Noise Zones . The procedures were created to develop , implement , and maintain compatible land uses that are in compliance with all federal , state , and local requirements .
Air Force Instruction 90-2001 Encroachment Management Air Force Instruction 90‐2001 was published in September 2014 to implement the Encroachment Management Program . The Instruction applies to all Air Force installations to address encroachment issues and prevent or reduce the impacts of encroachment . The Instruction includes the Encroachment Management Framework , which has four elements : Organize , Assess , Act , and Monitor . Organization encompasses leadership involvement , a crossfunctional management structure , an issue evaluation structure , a designated Executive Director at the installation level , and a geographic scope . Assessment includes studying internal and external relationships and developing encroachment studies , such as an Installation Complex Encroachment Management Action Plan ( ICEMAP ). Acting involves
implementation of programs . Lastly , monitoring awareness of mission needs and encroachment is
