Noise Control Act of 1972 The Noise Control Act of 1972 identified that noise not adequately controlled has the potential of endangering the health and welfare of people . It states that all Americans are entitled to an environment free from noise that can jeopardize their general health and quality of life . Along with state , local , and territorial governments , actions from the federal government were needed to ensure that the objectives of the Act were met .
Concurrently , military installations were experiencing the impacts from encroaching urban development located adjacent to the installation and the resulting complaints regarding noise from military flight operations . In 1973 , the DOD responded by establishing the AICUZ program .
The Noise Control Act and the AICUZ program are important because encroaching development and increased population near military installations such as Seymour Johnson AFB and the DCR often creates compatibility issues . As communities grow , it is important that the military installation , developers , and the communities work together to mitigate the issue of noise and develop ways to coexist successfully .
Partners in Flight Program The DOD has implemented a program entitled Partners in Flight that sustains and enhances the military testing , training , and safety mission through habitat‐based management strategies . The program assists natural resource managers in monitoring , inventory , research , and management of birds and their habitats .

This program reaches beyond the boundaries of the installation to facilitate community partnerships and determine the current status of bird populations to prevent the further endangerment of birds .
