“…An analysis sponsored by the Air Force summarized 21 published studies concerning the effects of noise on sleep (Pearsons et al 1989). The analysis concluded that a lack of reliable in-home studies, combined with large differences among the results from the various laboratory studies, did not permit development of an acceptably accurate assessment procedure.…”

Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and Reports, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington VA 22202-4302. Respondents should be aware that notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to a penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if it does not display a currently valid OMB control number.

The NEPA Process NEPA -the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 -is our national charter for protecting the environment. The goals of NEPA are to consider all appropriate environmental factors when making decisions, not basing decisions solely on technical and economic factors, involve the affected and interested public early in the environmental analysis process, seek less environmentally damaging ways to do our jobs, and document in plain language for the decisionmaker (in this case the Air Force) and the public the environmental process we used for RBTI. The product that we use to document our analyses is the Environmental Impact Statement, or EIS. This is the highest level of analysis prepared under NEPA and we are using it for RBTI. Compliance with NEPA guidance for our EIS preparation involved several critical steps: REPORT DATE011. Announce that an EIS will be prepared. For this EIS, a Notice of Intent was published on December 19, 1997, in the Federal Register.2. Conduct scoping. This was the first major step in identifying the relevant issues to be analyzed in depth and eliminating the issues that were not relevant. Within this process we were very active in soliciting comments from the public, local governments, federal and state agencies, tribes, and environmental groups to ensure their concerns and issues about the proposed project were included in the analyses. For RBTI, the Air Force held scoping meetings in January and February 1998 in New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, and Colorado. In addition, in December 1997, the Air Force sent over 100 Intergovernmental Interagency Coordination of Environmental Planning (IICEP) letters to announce the Air Force's proposal and planned scoping meetings and to request input from government agencies. Prepare a draft EIS.The first comprehensive document for public and agency review was the draft EIS. This document examined the environmental impacts of the proposed project determined to be relevant from our scoping initiatives and analyzed all reasonable alternatives, as well as a No-Action alternative. Over 900 copies of the draft EIS were distributed to agencies, the public that had requested copies, and numerous repositories to ensure the widest dissemin...

“…Based on a 1989 literature review by Pearsons for the U.S. Air Force, no specific adverse health effects have been clearly associated with sleep disturbance, characterized either by awakening or by sleep-state changes [Pearsons, 1989]. Nevertheless, sleep disturbance is deemed undesirable, and may be considered an impact caused by noise exposure.…”

DISTRIBUTION CODE ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)The Federal Interagency Committee on Aviation Noise (FICAN) was formed in 1993 to provide forums for debate over needs for future aviation nosie research and to encourage new development efforts in this area. All federal agencies concerned with aviation noise are represented on the Committee, including the U.S. Army, the U. S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, the Department of Interior, the Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Health and HumanServices/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To help coordinate ongoing and future federal initiatives, FICAN meets regularly and holds additional forums to obtain broader input from the public at large as well as from interested members of the technical community. The Committee's activities in 1997 included five meetings, a public forum, publication of a position paper on the effects of aircraft noise on awakenings from sleep, and maintenance of FICAN's Web page on the Internet. SUBJECT TERMS EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe Federal Interagency Committee on Aviation Noise (FICAN) was formed in 1993 to provide forums for debate over needs for future aviation noise research and to encourage new development efforts in this area.
