    On March 16, 1993, representatives of the agencies that 
participated on the Federal Interagency Committee on Noise (FICON) met 
and agreed to establish a standing committee to be known as FICAN. The 
standing interagency committee will provide a permanent aviation noise 
research and development (R&D) forum, which will assist agencies in 
providing adequate forums for discussion of public and private 
proposals, identify needed research, and encourage R&D efforts in these 
areas. FICAN held its last public forum on May 13, 1997 in Minneapolis, 
Minnesota. The public forum consisted of presentations by the FICAN 
members on current and future aircraft noise research projects, 
followed by an open comment and discussion period.
    The agenda for the upcoming meeting will include:
     Presentation of current and future aircraft noise research 
projects that are funded by the Federal members of FICAN.
     Public concern/discussion and comment period.
    Attendance is open to the public, but will be limited to the space 
available. The public must make arrangements by March 6, 1998 to
