## Summary

**This bill would require regular federal review of noise criteria to keep standards current.** It creates a statutory timetable and a process for revising or supplementing those criteria when the Administrator finds it necessary. - EPA Administrator: Would have to review criteria published or revised under Section 5 not later than 2 years after enactment and not less frequently than every 10 years, and revise or supplement them if necessary. - Statutory edits: Strikes the words "criteria or" from subsection (c), inserts a new subsection (d) titled "Review, Revision, and Supplementation of Criteria", and redesignates the former subsection (d) as subsection (e) with a cross reference to the new subsection. - Timing and funding: Establishes a recurring review cadence and links revisions to that process. The summary notes no funding, tax, or programmatic appropriations are specified.
