(A) aircraft, vehicles, and equipment that 
service aircraft (including main and auxiliary 
engines); and 
(B) buses, taxis, and limousines that serve 
airports; 
(2) study a statistically significant number of 
airports serving commercial aviation in a manner de-
signed to obtain a representative sampling of such 
airports; 
(3) consider all relevant information that is 
available, including State implementation plans 
under the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) 
and airport master plans; 
(4) consider the air quality implications of air-
port and ground and in-flight aircraft operations, 
such as routing and delays; 
(5) assess the role of airports in interstate and 
international travel and commerce and the environ-
mental and economic impact of regulating airports 
as significant sources of air, noise, water, and solid 
waste pollution; 
(6) propose boundaries of the areas to be in-
cluded within airport bubbles; 
(7) propose a definition of air pollutant emis-
sions for airport bubbles that includes hydrocarbons,
volatile organic compounds, and other ozone precur-
sors targeted for reduction under Federal air pollu-
tion law; 
(8) develop an inventory of each source of air, 
noise, water, and solid waste pollution to be regu-
lated within airport bubbles and the level of reduc-
tion for each source; 
(9) list and evaluate programs that might be 
implemented to reduce air, noise, water, and solid 
waste pollution within airport bubbles and the envi-
ronmental and economic impact of each of the pro-
grams, including any changes to Federal or State 
law (including regulations) that would be required 
for implementation of each of the programs; 
(10) evaluate the feasibility of regulating air, 
noise, water, and solid waste pollutants in and 
around airports using airport bubbles and make rec-
ommendations regarding which programs should be 
included in an effective implementation of airport 
bubble methodology; and 
(11) address the issues of air and noise pollu-
tion source identification and regulation that are 
unique to military air bases and stations. 
(d) REPORT.—Not later than 3 years after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the Administration shall submit
to Congress a report describing the results and rec-
ommendations of the study required by this section. 
SEC. 5. STUDY OF EMISSION STANDARDS FOR AIRPLANE 
ENGINES. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Administrator shall conduct 
a study of air pollutant emission standards established by 
the Environmental Protection Agency for airplane engines 
to determine whether it is feasible and desirable to 
strengthen the standards. 
(b) REPORT.—Not later than 2 years after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall submit 
to Congress a report describing the results and rec-
ommendations of the study required by this section. 
SEC. 6. PROGRESS REPORTS. 
Not later than 1 year after the enactment of this Act, 
and every year thereafter, the Administrator shall submit 
to the appropriate congressional committees a report 
which details the progress being made by the agency in 
complying with section 4 and section 5 of this Act. 
SEC. 7. REPORTING OF TOXIC CHEMICAL RELEASES. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days after the 
date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall pro-
mulgate regulations requiring each airport that regularly 
serves commercial or military jet aircraft to report, under 
section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community
Right-To-Know Act of 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11023) and sec-
tion 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (42 
U.S.C. 13106), releases and other waste management ac-
tivities associated with the manufacturing, processing, or 
other use of toxic chemicals listed under section 313 of 
the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know 
Act of 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11023), including toxic chemicals 
manufactured, processed, or otherwise used—
(1) during operation and maintenance of air-
craft and other motor vehicles at the airport; and 
(2) in the course of other airport and airline ac-
tivities. 
(b) TREATMENT AS A FACILITY.—For the purpose 
of subsection (a), an airport shall be considered to be a 
facility as defined in section 329 of the Emergency Plan-
ning and Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986 (42 
U.S.C. 11049).
