        with unique transportation challenges without viable 
        alternatives;
            (2) communities in Alaska and Hawaii are reliant on air 
        transportation, making it an essential lifeline for conducting 
        business, receiving healthcare, and obtaining an education;
            (3) the people of Alaska and Hawaii historically have been 
        exempt from essential air service eligibility requirements 
        under subchapter II of chapter 417 of title 49, United States 
        Code, due to the necessity of air transportation; and
            (4) proposed changes to the essential air service program 
        must consider this historical exemption for Alaska and Hawaii 
        and recognize their reliance on air transportation.

SEC. 2. EAS EXEMPTION FOR NONCONTIGUOUS STATES.

    The matter under the heading ``Department of Transportation--Office 
of the Secretary--Payments to Air Carriers'' in title I of the 
Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development, and Related Agencies
