Aviation Noise Impacts Roadmap Annual Meeting
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of meeting participation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice advises interested persons that the First Annual
Meeting of the Aviation Noise Impacts Roadmap will be held on April 19-
20, 2011, in Washington, DC, to coordinate and communicate research
activities and findings among stakeholders and other parties with an
interest in aviation noise impacts. The purpose of the meeting is to
update and advance our collective scientific knowledge of the impact of
aircraft noise on society in order to improve our ability to address
various aspects of noise impacts and develop optimal mitigation
solutions.
DATES: The First Annual Meeting of the Aviation Noise Impacts Roadmap
will be held on April 19-20, 2011, in Washington, DC. The meeting will
begin each day at 8:30 a.m. and conclude at 5:30 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) Headquarters building, 451 7th Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20410, Conference Room C. Attendance is open to all
interested parties; however, for building security requirements, please
register by March 29 (see below for information on registration).

267-5594. Meeting registration is required by March 29; there is no
registration fee. To register, please provide your name, business
affiliation, a contact email and phone number.
Background: Following the recommendation from the FAA's aircraft
noise impacts research workshops, federal agencies are initiating
annual meetings on aviation noise impacts research. The first annual
meeting will focus on the following topics: noise effects on health and
welfare; noise in national parks and wilderness; aircraft noise
modeling; and costs of aircraft noise on society. The Department of
Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Department of Defense
(DOD), Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), National Park
Service (NPS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and
other federal agencies, international organizations, industry,
academia, and the public will meet to discuss ongoing and future noise
impacts research activities in the above areas. A product of the
meeting will be an Aviation Noise Impacts Roadmap document. The
document will outline key research elements, summarize current programs
and projects, and identify current knowledge gaps and future research
activities. The intent of the Roadmap is to define systematic, focused,
and complementary research programs, so that limited resources can be
more effectively pooled to advance the knowledge on how best to address
the impacts of aviation noise on society.
Issued in Washington, DC, on February 23, 2011.

Director of Environment and Energy.
