1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Aviation-Impacted Communities Act . 2. Noise mitigation for vertical fenceline communities Notwithstanding any other provision of law, aviation-impacted communities that are not currently within the 65 DNL standard as measured by the Federal Aviation Administration shall be eligible for the Airport Improvement Program noise mitigation program funds and for grants under section 7, and shall also be granted status under section 5 to establish community boards to address airport noise in their communities. 3. National Academy of Sciences study, framework, and diagnostic tool (a) In general The Administrator shall enter into a contract with the National Academy of Sciences to conduct a study that— (1) summarizes the relevant literature and studies done on aviation impacts worldwide; (2) focuses on large hub commercial airports and surrounding communities, including communities currently outside of the 65 DNL contour in— (A) King County, WA; (B) Boston; (C) Chicago; (D) New York City; (E) the Northern California Metroplex; (F) Phoenix; (G) the Southern California Metroplex; (H) the District of Columbia; (I) Atlanta; and (J) any other metropolitan large hub airport identified by the Administrator. (b) Contents The study described in subsection (a) shall examine— (1) the collection and consolidation of quantifiable, observational, experiential, anecdotal, or other data from— (A) the Federal Aviation Administration; (B) airport operators; (C) valid acoustic instrumentation on the ground; (D) testimonials and other evidence from community members; and (E) organizations in the community; (2) the Day-Night Average Sound Level, using measured data or modeled data (or other noise metrics, as applicable); (3) any other existing or supplemental noise metrics from data collected by noise monitor stations; (4) emissions generated by individual and cumulative takeoffs and landings, including emissions that impact the ground level
