AI Summary
This bill, the Quiet Communities Act of 2021, aims to reestablish the Office of Noise Abatement and Control within the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The bill outlines several key provisions, including: promoting the development of state and local noise control programs through technical assistance and grants; conducting national research and environmental assessments on noise impacts; developing public education and training materials on noise control; establishing regional technical assistance centers; and undertaking a study on aircraft noise and its effects on surrounding communities. The bill also amends the Noise Control Act of 1972 to expand the types of noise sources that can be regulated and the activities that can be funded under the Quiet Communities Program. Finally, the bill authorizes $21 million in annual appropriations for the reestablished Office of Noise Abatement and Control from fiscal years 2022 through 2026.
