SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Community Noise Mitigation
Program Grant Proposals; OMB Control Number 0704-CNMP.
Needs and Uses: Section 8120 of the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2022 (Pub. L. 117-103) provided $75 million to the Office of Local
Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC) of the Department of Defense to
``make grants to communities impacted by military aviation noise for
the purpose of installing noise mitigating insulation at covered
facilities.'' These funds expire if they are not obligated prior to
September 30, 2025.
To implement this congressional direction, OLDCC may award grants
to local governments under the competitive Community Noise Mitigation
Program (CNMP) for the purpose of reducing the impact of fixed wing
military aviation noise on ``covered'' facilities. Covered facilities
include hospitals, daycare facilities, schools, facilities serving
senior citizens, and private residences. Covered facilities that are
considered potentially eligible are located either within one (1) mile
of a military installation boundary or within an area experiencing day-
night average sound level of 65 decibels or greater due to military
fixed-wing aviation noise. Information collection from the public is
necessary to facilitate the awarding of grants under CNMP. Respondents
will be states, territories, counties, municipalities, other political
subdivisions of a state, special purpose units of a state or local
government, other instrumentalities of a state or local government, and
tribal nations supporting a military installation. The collection
instrument is a grant proposal package prepared in accordance with the
CNMP Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement posted on the
<a href="http://Grants.gov">Grants.gov</a> website (<a href="https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=349858">https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=349858</a>). The Notice of Funding Opportunity
Forecast details the elements that will be required for a proposal to
be considered complete.
