    The Community Noise Mitigation Program Notice of Funding Opportunity outlines guidelines for applicants seeking federal funding to mitigate noise near military installations. This program prioritizes projects based on their proposals, allowing for a flexible number of applications without a cap on funding per project. Key eligibility changes include allowing multiple proposals for noncontiguous properties and clarifying the determination of habitable spaces. While the program supports construction activities within a specified timeline, it mandates adherence to federal aviation standards for airport-related projects. Notably, grantees are responsible for all costs exceeding budget estimates and agreements with property owners are not required at the proposal stage. Acoustical testing is crucial for project validation, with requirements for a sample of properties rather than all. The funding can only cover noise insulation treatments at designated facilities, with no support for ancillary costs like environmental compliance or planning initiatives. Overall, the program aims to address community noise concerns effectively while promoting cooperation between local entities and military installations.
