AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reestablish its Office of Noise Abatement and Control, which has not been funded since 1982. The office would give states technical help and grants for local noise control programs, run national research on how noise affects mental and physical health, create public education materials, and set up regional technical assistance centers. The EPA would also hire independent scientists to study aircraft noise and its effects on nearby communities, and report results and recommendations to Congress within 2 years. The bill authorizes $25 million per year for the office for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
