    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.

aircraft noise dose-response work by using a wider variety of survey 
methods, by including different site types and visitor experiences from 
those previously measured, and by increasing site type replication.

annually.
