Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration to contract with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to study and report on the health effects of air traffic noise and pollution. The National Academies' Health and Medicine Division must convene a committee of experts within 30 days of the bill's enactment to examine these health impacts and produce a scientific consensus report on current knowledge in this area. Once completed, the report must be sent to the FAA, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, and relevant committees in both the House and Senate. The bill does not specify dedicated funding amounts or a deadline for completing the study beyond the initial 30-day committee formation requirement. This legislation affects communities near airports, aviation regulators, and health policymakers by seeking expert guidance on an issue of growing public concern.
