SEC. 2. PERFORMANCE-BASED NAVIGATION IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS.

    (a) In General.--In carrying out the implementation process for 
NextGen performance-based navigation (as described in FAA Order

Federal Aviation Administration shall ensure that any covered aviation 
roundtable may appoint a technical representative or consultant to

group of such process on the same terms and conditions as a 
representative of the industry, an airport, or a participating 
proponent of a procedure.
    (b) Covered Aviation Roundtable Defined.--The term ``covered 
aviation roundtable'' means an aviation roundtable--
            (1) that is the actual or de facto proponent of a proposed 
        new or modified performance-based navigation flight procedure; 
        or
            (2) for which the modified procedure path to be implemented 
        in the process described in subsection (a) is within 5 miles of 
        the jurisdictional area of the aviation roundtable.
    (c) Report to Congress.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall submit to the Committee
