AI Summary
This bill, called the Pollution-Free Aviation Sites Act or the PFAS Act, requires the Secretary of Transportation to establish a PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) replacement program at certain airports. The program will reimburse eligible airports, which are those holding an Airport Operating Certificate under Part 139, for the reasonable costs associated with acquiring fluorine-free firefighting alternatives, disposing of PFAS products, cleaning or replacing equipment, and replacing aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicles. The bill authorizes necessary funding for the program, which will remain available for 5 fiscal years and be in addition to any other federal, state, local, or tribal funding for similar purposes.
