Save Our Airports Reporting Act
HR 5355, the Save Our Airports Reporting Act, requires the FAA Administrator to submit biannual progress reports to Congress on developing a national transition plan for fluorine-free firefighting foam at airports. The reports must detail progress in providing certified commercial airports (part 139 airports) and local authorities with EPA guidance on environmental limits, DoD transition plans, decontamination best practices, and implementation timelines. The reporting continues until the FAA notifies Congress the transition plan is complete. This bill directly affects FAA operations, certified airports, and local airport safety oversight authorities. It is a procedural requirement focused on transparency, not a direct policy change to firefighting standards.
