# 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                     *Grants.gov*                     website (                    *https://www.grants.gov/​web/​grants/​view-opportunity.html?​oppId=​349858*). The Notice of Funding Opportunity Forecast details the elements that will be required for a proposal to be considered complete.                

*Affected Public:*                     State, local, or Tribal government.                

*Annual Burden Hours:*                     2,000.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     50.                

*Responses per Respondent:*                     1.                

*Annual Responses:*                     50.                

*Average Burden per Response:*                     40 hours.                

*Frequency:*                     Once.
