AI Summary

Deletes the definition of "Ldn" (day-night average sound level) from the Permanent Noise Monitoring Act and replaces it with "CNEL" (Community Noise Equivalent Level) as the standard metric for measuring airport noise.
-
Adds new definitions for CNEL, hourly noise level, noise exposure level, noise level, and sound pressure level with detailed technical specifications and calculation methods.
-
Requires permanent noise monitoring reports to include noise contour maps showing 65 CNEL, 70 CNEL, and 75 CNEL zones around airports instead of the previous Ldn zones.
-
Updates time period designations in noise contour maps from "7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m." and "10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m." to more specific periods: 7:00 a.m. through 6:59 p.m., 7:00 p.m. through 9:59 p.m., and 10:00 p.m. through 6:59 a.m.
