AI Summary

This bill establishes a uniform metric called the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) for measuring noise impacts that will be used by airports in New York State for the purpose of noise exposure maps (NEMs) and noise compatibility programs (NCPs). The CNEL metric takes into account the lower tolerance of noise during evening and nighttime periods compared to daytime periods. The bill also defines other relevant noise metrics, such as Hourly Noise Level Daytime (HNLD), Hourly Noise Level Evening (HNLE), and Hourly Noise Level Nighttime (HNLN), which are used to calculate the CNEL.
