The Federal Interagency Committee on Aviation Noise (FICAN) was formed in 1993 to provide forums for debate over needs for future aviation noise research and to encourage new development efforts in this area. All federal agencies concerned with aviation noise are represented on the Committee, including the U.S. Army, the U. S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, the Department of Interior, the Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Health and Human Services/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To help coordinate ongoing and future federal initiatives, FICAN meets regularly and holds additional forums to obtain broader input from the public at large as well as from interested members of the technical community. The Committee's activities in 1997 included five meetings, a public forum, publication of a position paper on the effects of aircraft noise on awakenings from sleep, and maintenance of FICAN's Web page on the Internet.
