Research notes

Federal overlay, not state preemption — included here for completeness so city records around Offutt (Bellevue primarily; portions of Papillion, La Vista, southern Omaha) flag the AICUZ constraint. AICUZ is advisory under federal law but Nebraska municipalities have generally adopted overlay districts incorporating its noise contours and APZ/CZ use restrictions. Confirm current AICUZ study version and contour geometry against the most recent Offutt AFB publication.
