is to conduct a nation-wide survey to update the scientific evidence of
the relationship between aircraft noise exposure and its effects on
communities around airports.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2120-XXXX (to be determined).
Title: Neighborhood Environmental Survey.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this
collection of information.
Type of Review: Clearance of a new information collection.
Background: This Neighborhood Environmental Survey is necessary to
update the relationship between aircraft noise exposure and its effect
on communities around United States airports. This survey will collect
data on annoyance from a representative sample of households
surrounding airports chosen from a representative sample, and relate
the annoyance level to the noise exposure for that address. The FAA
will use the information from this collection to derive the empirical
data to support potential updates to or validation of the national
aviation noise policy.
Respondents: 12,147 respondents affected by airport noise.
Frequency: One time per respondent.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: Five minutes for a mail
survey, twenty minutes for a telephone survey for selected respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,544 hours.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Kathy
DePaepe, Room 126B, Federal Aviation Administration, ASP-110, 6500 S.
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169.
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
