... 2 Guidelines for Airport Sound Insulation Programs of more than $3 billion for sound insulation is an indication of the importance of achieving compatibility between communities and airport operations.3 Without such efforts, aircraft noise will continue to be the primary constraint on the improvement of the nation's aviation infrastructure. Mitigating the impact of aircraft noise on communities is known by a variety of terms, including noise insulation, noise attenuation, soundproofing, sound insulation, acoustical treatment, sound mitigation, and noise mitigation.

... Introduction 3 Attachment 1 to the PGL replaces, in its entirety, Paragraph 812, Noise Insulation Projects, of FAA Order 5100.38C, the AIP Handbook, effective as of the date of the PGL. Replacement Paragraph 812 describes general requirements for AIP funding, specific eligibility and justification requirements and limitations, and special circumstances.6 Attachment 2 to the PGL is entitled "Handling Noise Insulation Programs That Are Currently Underway." It establishes a transition period (fiscal years 2012 through 2014)

... Introduction 5 1.3.1 ACRP Project 02-24: Expanding the Guidelines While the previous versions of the guidelines have much information that is relevant and applicable to AIP-funded sound insulation programs, they are limited given the clientele for whom they were prepared, the range of issues explored, and the dated information regarding costs and codes. To address these issues, the research team expanded the purview of the guidelines to include: • Energy performance and sustainability, • Community outreach, • Improvements in products, • Current code and other regulatory requirements, and • Bidding methodologies and project costs.
