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.
