(b) TEMPERATURE REVIEW.—In conducting the study 
under subsection (a), the Administrator shall— 
(1) survey onboard cabin and cockpit tempera-
tures of a representative sampling of different aircraft 
types and operations; 
(2) address the appropriate placement of tem-
perature monitoring devices onboard the aircraft to 
determine the most accurate measurement of onboard 
temperature and develop a system for the reporting of 
excessive temperature onboard passenger aircraft by 
cockpit and cabin crew members; and 
(3) review the impact of implementing such on-
board temperature standards on the environment, fuel 
economy, and avionics and determine the costs associ-
ated with such implementation and the feasibility of 
using ground equipment or other mitigation measures 
to offset any such costs. 
(c) REPORT TO CONGRESS.—Not later than 18 months 
after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator

SEC. 821. STUDY AND REPORT ON ALLEVIATING CONGES-
TION. 
Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Comptroller General shall conduct a study 
and submit a report to Congress regarding effective strate-
gies to alleviate congestion in the national airspace at air-
ports during peak travel times, by evaluating the effective-
ness of reducing flight schedules and staggering flights, de-
veloping incentives for airlines to reduce the number of 
flights offered, and instituting slots and quotas at airports. 
In addition, the Comptroller General shall compare the effi-
ciency of implementing the strategies in the preceding sen-
tence with redesigning airspace and evaluate any legal ob-
stacles to implementing such strategies.

Not later than one year after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation shall issue regu-
lations under chapter 447 of title 49, United States Code, 
that require air carriers to provide initial and annual re-
curring training for flight attendants and gate attendants

SEC. 823. STUDY ON FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPMENT OF A 
PUBLIC INTERNET WEB-BASED SEARCH EN-
GINE ON WIND TURBINE INSTALLATION OB-
STRUCTION. 
(a) STUDY.—The Administrator of the Federal Avia-
tion Administration shall carry out a study on the feasi-
bility of developing a publicly searchable, Internet Web- 
based resource that provides information regarding the ac-
ceptable height and distance that wind turbines may be in-
stalled in relation to aviation sites and the level of obstruc-
tion such turbines may present to such sites. 
(b) CONSIDERATIONS.—In conducting the study, the 
Administrator shall consult, if appropriate, with the Secre-
taries of the Army, Navy and Air Force, Homeland Secu-
rity, Agriculture, and Energy to coordinate the require-
ments of each agency for future air space needs, determine

what the acceptable risks are to existing infrastructure of 
each agency, and define the different levels of risk for such 
infrastructure. 
(c) IMPACT OF WIND TURBINES ON RADAR SIGNALS.— 
In conducting the study, the Administrator shall consider 
the impact of the operation of wind turbines, individually 
and in collections, on radar signals and evaluate the feasi-
bility of providing quantifiable measures of numbers of tur-
bines and distance from radars that are acceptable. 
(d) REPORT.—Not later than one year after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit a report 
on the results of the study to the Committee on Transpor-
tation and Infrastructure, Committee on Homeland Secu-
