Community Noise Mitigation Program

Assist state and local governments with addressing military fixed-wing aviation noise at covered facilities. Covered facilities are hospitals, daycare facilities, schools, facilities serving senior citizens, and private residences. Projects must be located in communities impacted by fixed-wing military aviation noise and be for the purpose of mitigating noise at covered facilities located either within one (1) mile of a military installation or civil airport boundary, or within an area experiencing a day-night average sound level of 65 decibels or greater due to military fixed-wing aviation noise, based on documentation and analyses prepared in accordance with Department of Defense Instruction 4165.57, Air Installation Compatible Use Zones, the National Environmental Policy Act, or Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150.
