Eligibility of Noise Abatement Proposals for Grants-in-Aid under the Airport Improvement Program

Abstract

This report summarizes the provisions of existing Federal laws, regulations, administrative policies and grant program procedures which relate to funding of noise abatement projects. The report also presents historical data on Federally assisted noise compatibility projects and funding levels in fiscal years 1982 - 1987. A literature search was conducted and parties involved with airport noise compatibility planning and project implementation were consulted to identify proposals which are currently not eligible for grant assistance and the reasons for their ineligibility. The report concludes with recommendations to make eligibility criteria more flexible and to provide clearer guidance to parties involved with noise compatibility project formulation, evaluation and implementation. Keywords: Airport noise, Land use compatibility, Airport noise compatibility programs, Noise abatement, and Airport improvement program grants, Aviation safety.
