Alaska airport operators need not shorten runways to meet runway-safety-area standards. The Secretary must study the effects of such requirements at airports in other States and report to Congress.
(a) An Alaska airport owner or operator need not shorten a runway or declare it shorter than its actual pavement length to meet FAA runway-safety-area standards.
(b) The Secretary must study runways in other States to identify airports affected by those standards and assess how operations would be affected if owners or operators had to shorten or declare a runway shorter than its pavement. Within 9 months after enactment, the Secretary must send the study to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
An airport owner or operator in the State of Alaska shall not be required to reduce the length of a runway or declare the length of a runway to be less than the actual pavement length in order to meet standards of the Federal Aviation Administration applicable to runway safety areas.
The Secretary shall conduct a study of runways at airports in States other than Alaska to determine which airports are affected by standards of the Federal Aviation Administration applicable to runway safety areas and to assess how operations at those airports would be affected if the owner or operator of the airport is required to reduce the length of a runway or declare the length of a runway to be less than the actual pavement length in order to meet such standards.
Not later than 9 months after the date of enactment of this section, the Secretary shall transmit to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives a report containing the results of the study.
