Community Noise Mitigation

The Community Noise Mitigation Program is designed to address communities impacted by military fixed wing aviation noise for the purposes of installing noise mitigation at covered facilities.  Covered facilities are:

• hospitals,
• daycare facilities,
• schools,
• facilities serving senior citizens, and
• private residences.

Authorized under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Pub. L. 117-35) Section 8120, the program provided $75 million to remain available for obligation until September 30, 2025. The funds must be expended by 5 years after that obligation.  The funds are allocated with $56.25 million to Active military installations and $18.75 million to Reserve component installations, of which $5 million shall be for communities near a military installation that has transitioned to a new type of aircraft after January 1, 2019. Request for funds can include meeting the Federal match requirements under the Federal Aviation Administration Part 150, Airport Improvement Program as needed.
