Considerations for planning the Implementation of an alternative System 13 categorically excluded from NEPA review in FAA Order 1050.1E. However, installation of alternative systems is similar to other actions that are categorically excluded, and thus, that approach is often used to comply with the requirement of the NEPA.

14 handbook for evaluating emissions and Costs of apUs and alternative Systems Many airports have recommended controls on the use of APUs or the implementation of ground-based infrastructure to reduce the use of APUs while aircraft are parked. In general, aircraft APUs generate higher noise levels than components of alternative systems (see Chapter 4)
