H.R. 1484: Air Traffic Noise and Pollution Expert Consensus Act of 2025

This bill, titled the Air Traffic Noise and Pollution Expert Consensus Act of 2025, seeks to address the health impacts of noise and pollution from air traffic. Here are the main points of what the bill proposes:

Study on Health Impacts

The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is required to collaborate with the Health and Medicine Division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. This arrangement will involve the following steps:

  • The National Academies will convene a committee of experts within 30 days of the bill's enactment. This committee will focus on studying the health impacts associated with air traffic noise and pollution.
  • After the committee's examination, they are to produce a consensus report that details the current scientific understanding of how air traffic contributes to health issues due to noise and pollution.

Report Transmission

Once the consensus report is completed, it must be sent to several key federal entities, which include:

  • The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration
  • The Secretary of Health and Human Services
  • The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency
  • Relevant committees in the House of Representatives, specifically the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
  • Relevant committees in the Senate, specifically the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs

The goal of this bill is to officially assess and understand the health consequences of air traffic noise and pollution, and to disseminate this knowledge to important governmental departments and committees. This could potentially lead to further actions or regulations based on the findings of the committee's report.
