    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.

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.
