Summary: The Aviation-Impacted Communities Alliance (AICA) requests that OMB seek clarification from the FAA regarding the discrepancy between the FAA's description of the ANCIR system's functions (such as trend detection and community engagement) and its actual public reporting. They argue that the current system's structure may fail to adequately capture recurring noise conditions and may not provide a representative geographic distribution of noise impacts.
The Aviation-Impacted Communities Alliance (AICA) submits these comments regarding OMB’s review of the FAA Aircraft Noise Complaint and Inquiry Response (ANCIR) information collection. Important questions remain regarding the quality, utility, and clarity of the collection, including how the FAA’s characterization of ANCIR as an intake/routing/response system relates to the additional analytical, transparency, community engagement, and informational functions described in FAA notices and communications.
