Opportunity Information: Apply for OLDCC 25 F 0002
The Community Noise Mitigation Program is a competitive federal grant opportunity run by the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC) to help communities reduce the impacts of military-related noise by funding sound insulation improvements in "covered facilities." In practical terms, the program is focused on paying for physical noise mitigation measures such as installing sound insulation, and it can also include adding air conditioning so buildings can remain comfortable with windows closed, which is a common requirement for effective noise reduction. The overall goal is to lessen the day-to-day disruption that aircraft and installation operations can cause for nearby public-serving facilities and other eligible buildings, while keeping projects aligned with established noise mitigation best practices.
The funding originates from the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-103), which provided a total of 75 million dollars for this purpose. That amount is split into two set-asides: 56,250,000 dollars intended for projects at or near active-duty military installations, and 18,750,000 dollars intended for projects at or near Guard or Reserve installations. A first round of awards has already been made under this funding stream, resulting in 10 grants totaling 13,084,552 dollars. OLDCC indicates that the remaining funds must be fully obligated through a countersigned grant agreement no later than the close of business on September 30, 2025, which makes the 2025 competition timeline especially important for applicants planning to seek support.
Eligible applicants are public entities, specifically state and local governments and Indian Tribes, applying under a discretionary grant mechanism. The assistance listing (CFDA) associated with this opportunity is 12.029, and the posted funding opportunity number is OLDCC 25 F 0002. While the source data lists "State governments" under eligible applicants, the notice narrative clearly states the competition is open to state and local governments and Indian Tribes, so prospective applicants should rely on the full Notice of Funding Opportunity language and confirm eligibility details in the official posting and related guidance.
OLDCC is using selection criteria and program structure that, where feasible, align with the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program approaches to noise mitigation. That matters because FAA AIP noise programs have well-developed expectations around documenting noise exposure, prioritizing cost-effective treatments, and ensuring projects are designed and implemented in a standardized, defensible way. Applicants should therefore expect to present a clear case that facilities are meaningfully affected by noise, that the proposed insulation measures are appropriate to the problem, and that the project scope is well-defined and implementable within the program's time constraints.
Key dates are central to this competition. OLDCC is hosting two pre-proposal webinars to walk through the goals, objectives, and requirements and to answer questions from potential applicants. These webinars are scheduled for 3 p.m. EDT on June 2, 2025, and again at 3 p.m. EDT on June 12, 2025. Participation details are posted on OLDCC's Community Noise Mitigation Program page at https://oldcc.gov/our-programs/community-noise-mitigation. Full proposals must be submitted through Grants.gov under the listed opportunity number no later than 5 p.m. PDT on July 9, 2025. Because the agency must obligate the remaining funds by September 30, 2025, applicants should assume there will be limited time for back-and-forth after selection, and that complete, compliant submissions will be critical.
In summary, this grant opportunity provides competitive federal funding to public-sector applicants to carry out building-level noise mitigation projects near military installations, with an emphasis on sound insulation and related improvements like air conditioning. It is funded from a fixed appropriation with separate allocations for active-duty versus Guard/Reserve areas, and it is operating on a tight obligation deadline that makes early coordination, strong project documentation, and careful adherence to the Notice of Funding Opportunity requirements especially important.Apply for OLDCC 25 F 0002
