Funding purpose

Other — This Notice of Funding Opportunity Forecast is seeking comments on an opportunity for state and local governments to obtain funding under the competitive Community Noise Mitigation Program through the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation to install noise mitigation insulation at covered facilities. This Notice includes proposal requirements, the deadline for submitting proposals, and the criteria that will be used to select proposal respondents to apply for a grant under this program. To the extent practical and as appropriate, the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation developed the selection criteria and other information to be consistent with the Federal Aviation Administration’s financial assistance policies and guidance associated with noise mitigation projects. Because this is a new program, this Notice requests public comments (as a “Forecast”) on the proposed requirements and selection criteria, as provided in Section E., paragraph 1. of this Notice. Comments received will be used to develop a Final Notice of Funding Opportunity. The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation will consider any comments submitted by October 13, 2023 based on a 60-day Forecast comment period then convert this Forecast to a Final Notice of Funding Opportunity. Comments should be submitted using the form located at the following link: https://forms.office.com/g/FRUr0UuxFg The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation may award grants under this Notice to state and local governments for the purpose of reducing the impact of fixed wing military aviation noise on “covered” facilities.
