Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 49, United States Code, to ensure each Center Weather Service Unit is adequately staffed for the safe and efficient movement of aircraft in air commerce, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the Aviation Weather Safety Improvement Act, aims to enhance aviation safety by ensuring that Center Weather Service Units (CWSUs) are sufficiently staffed. CWSUs are crucial facilities that provide weather information and forecasts directly to air traffic controllers, helping them manage the safe and efficient movement of aircraft. The bill amends existing law to require coordination between the Director of the National Weather Service, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the unions representing air traffic control specialists and National Weather Service employees. This collaboration is intended to guarantee that CWSUs have adequate personnel to support air commerce. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Secretary of Transportation must submit reports to relevant congressional committees detailing the progress of implementing these staffing improvements, both within 180 days of the bill's enactment and annually thereafter.
