49 U.S.C. § 47509 — Research program on quiet aircraft technology for propeller and rotor driven aircraft
Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
**(a) Establishment.—** The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall conduct a study to identify technologies for noise reduction of propeller driven aircraft and rotorcraft.
**(b) Goal.—** The goal of the study conducted under subsection (a) is to determine the status of research and development now underway in the area of quiet technology for propeller driven aircraft and rotorcraft, including technology that is cost beneficial, and to determine whether a research program to supplement existing research activities is necessary.
**(c) Participation.—** In conducting the study required under subsection (a), the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall encourage the participation of the Department of Defense, the Department of the Interior, the airtour industry, the aviation industry, academia and other appropriate groups.
**(d) Report.—** Not less than 280 days after August 23, 1994, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall transmit to Congress a report on the results of the study required under subsection (a).
**(e) Research and Development Program.—** If the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration determine that additional research and development is necessary and would substantially contribute to the development of quiet aircraft technology, then the agencies shall conduct an appropriate research program in consultation with the entities listed in subsection (c) to develop safe, effective, and econo

**(a) Economic Regulation.—** In carrying out subpart II of this part and those provisions of subpart IV applicable in carrying out subpart II, the Secretary of Transportation shall consider the following matters, among others, as being in the public interest and consistent with public convenience and necessity:
(1) assigning and maintaining safety as the highest priority in air commerce.
(2) before authorizing new air transportation services, evaluating the safety implications of those services.
(3) preventing deterioration in established safety procedures, recognizing the clear intent, encouragement, and dedication of Congress to further the highest degree of safety in air transportation and air commerce, and to maintain the safety vigilance that has evolved in air transportation and air commerce and has come to be expected by the traveling and shipping public.
(4) the availability of a variety of adequate, economic, efficient, and low-priced services without unreasonable discrimination or unfair or deceptive practices.
(5) coordinating transportation by, and improving relations among, air carriers, and encouraging fair wages and working conditions.
(6) placing maximum reliance on competitive market forces and on actual and potential competition—
(A) to provide the needed air transportation system; and
(B) to encourage efficient and well-managed air carriers to earn adequate profits and attract capital, considering any material differences between interstate air transportation and foreign air transportation.
(7) developing and maintaining a sound regulatory system that is responsive to the needs of the public and in which decisions are reached promptly to make it easier to adapt the air transportation system to the present and future needs of—

**(a) Preference.—** The Secretary of Transportation may obligate an amount that may be appropriated to carry out section 106(k), 44502(a)(2), or 44509, subchapter I of chapter 471, or chapter 481 (except sections 48102(e), 48106, 48107, and 48110) of this title for a project only if steel and manufactured goods used in the project are produced in the United States.
**(b) Waiver.—** The Secretary may waive subsection (a) of this section if the Secretary finds that—
(1) applying subsection (a) would be inconsistent with the public interest;
(2) the steel and goods produced in the United States are not produced in a sufficient and reasonably available amount or are not of a satisfactory quality;
(3) when procuring a facility or equipment under section 44502(a)(2) or 44509, subchapter I of chapter 471, or chapter 481 (except sections 48102(e), 48106, 48107, and 48110) of this title—
(A) the cost of components and subcomponents produced in the United States is more than 60 percent of the cost of all components of the facility or equipment; and
(B) final assembly of the facility or equipment has occurred in the United States; or
(4) including domestic material will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent.
**(c) Labor Costs.—** In this section, labor costs involved in final assembly are not included in calculating the cost of components.
**(d) Limitation on Certain Rolling Stock Procurements.—**
(1) **In general.—** — Financial assistance made available under the provisions described in subsection (a) shall not be used in awarding a contract or subcontract to an entity on or after the date of enactment of this subsection for the procurement of rolling stock for use in an airport-related project if the manufacturer of the rolling stock—

TITLE 49—TRANSPORTATION
§ 47509
(b) COMPLIANCE
AT PHASED RATE.—The Sec-
retary shall require each air carrier and foreign
air carrier providing foreign air transportation
to comply with the noise standards at a phased
rate similar to the rate for aircraft registered in
the United States.
(c) NONDISCRIMINATION.—The requirement for
air carriers providing foreign air transportation
may not be more stringent than the requirement
for foreign air carriers.

In this section, the word ‘‘providing’’ is substituted
for ‘‘engaging in’’ for consistency in the revised title.
In subsection (a), the words ‘‘acting through the Ad-
ministrator’’ and ‘‘acting through the Administrator of
the Federal Aviation Administration (14 CFR part 36)’’
are omitted for consistency. Section 6(c)(1) of the De-
partment of Transportation Act (Public Law 89–670, 80
Stat. 938) transferred all duties and powers of the Fed-
eral Aviation Agency and the Administrator to the
Secretary of Transportation. However, the Secretary
was to carry out certain provisions through the Admin-
istrator. In addition, various laws enacted since then
have vested duties and powers in the Administrator.
All provisions of law the Secretary is required to carry
out through the Administrator are included in 49:106(g).
