SEC. 753. AVIATION FUEL CONSERVATION AND EMISSIONS.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall jointly initiate a study to identify— (1) the impact of aircraft emissions on air quality in nonattainment areas; (2) ways to promote fuel conservation measures for aviation to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions; and (3) opportunities to reduce air traffic inefficiencies that increase fuel burn and emissions. (b) FOCUS.—The study under subsection (a) shall focus on how air traffic management inefficiencies, such as aircraft idling at airports, result in unnecessary fuel burn and air emissions. (c) REPORT.—Not later than 1 year after the date of the initiation of the study under subsection (a), the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall jointly submit to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Environment and Public Works and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate a report that— (1) describes the results of the study; and (2) includes any recommendations on ways in which unnecessary fuel use and emissions affecting air quality may be reduced— (A) without adversely affecting safety and security and increasing individual aircraft noise; and (B) while taking into account all aircraft emissions and the impact of those emissions on the human health.
