The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, to the maximum extent practicable, shall collaborate with the heads of appropriate Federal agencies to ensure that designations of critical habitat, as such term is defined in section 3 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ( 16 U.S.C. 1532 ), on or near airport property do not— result in conflicting statutory, regulatory, or Federal grant assurance requirements for airports or aircraft operators; interfere with the safe operation of aircraft; or occur on airport-owned lands that have become attractive habitat for a threatened or endangered species because such lands— have been prepared for future development; have been designated as noise buffer land; or are held by the airport to prevent encroachment of uses that are incompatible with airport operations.
In a State in which a State agency is authorized to designate land on or near airport property for the conservation of a threatened or endangered species in the State, the Administrator, to the maximum extent practicable, shall collaborate with the State in the same manner as the Administrator collaborates with the heads of Federal agencies under subsection (a).
