S 1167 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Sound Insulation Treatment Repair and Replacement Program Act

This bill creates a program allowing airports to seek federal funding for repairing or replacing deteriorated sound insulation in residential properties. It directly affects homeowners near airports who previously received federal assistance for sound insulation but now face damage or ineffective materials. The key mechanism requires airports to first exhaust insurance/warranty options and obtain an FAA-compliant auditor's report confirming the insulation's failure wasn't caused by owner negligence. Eligibility depends on meeting specific noise level standards (DNL 65) or proving the original insulation caused structural damage. The program also mandates periodic surveys to identify new eligible properties for funding.
