“…The two exposure-response curves were adopted in 1992 by the Federal Interagency Committee on Noise 1 ͑FICON͒ for use by federal agencies in aircraft noise-related environmental impact analyses and are recommended for prediction of the effects of general transportation noise on people. The curves were described previously in general form [2][3][4] and have already been used in Environmental Impact Statements. 5 The recommendations in this paper are based on reanalyses of two sets of previously published data.…”

The question of prediction of sleep disturbance and annoyance due to transportation noise has been addressed. Two sets of previously published data have been reanalyzed. This project was initiated as part of a long-term U.S. Air Force research program on the effects of aircraft noise on humans. It is concluded that day-night average sound level is still the most adequate noise descriptor for use in environmental impact analyses to assess the annoyance and overall impact of noise from general transportation, including civilian and military aircraft operations. A new logistic curve adopted in 1992 for general use by U.S. federal agencies, is recommended for use in environmental impact statements as the nominal relationship between day-night average sound level and the percent age of a general residential population predicted to be highly annoyed by the noise. A power curve, using A-weighted sound exposure level, is recommended for predicting nighttime sleep disturbance from general transportation noise.

“…Generally, laboratory studies have shown considerably more disturbance than field studies [Pearsons, 1992]. Finegold speculates that the significantly greater awakening observed in the laboratory is due to the lack of habituation [Finegold, 1993].…”

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.
