the following bill2 which was referred  
to the ,committee on ,transportation and
 ,infrastructure  ,a ,,bill  ,to direct 
the ,administrator of the ,federal      
,aviation ,administration to conduct a  
study relating to ultrafine particles1  
and for other purposes4  #a4 ,short     
title ,this ,act may be cited as the

,particle ,emissions ,act4  #b4 ,study  
on ultrafine particles  7a7 ,in general 
,the ,administrator of the ,federal     
,aviation ,administration shall conduct 
a study that--  7#a7 includes a review  
of the results of previous studies on   
ultrafine particles in the air1         
including the health impacts of such    
particles2  7#b7 for each of the #bj    

largest airports in the ,united ,states

revenue enplanements71 analyzes and     
evaluates with respect to the           
communities surrounding1 near1 and      
impacted by airport-generated air       
traffic--  7,a7 the ultrafine particles 
present in the air2  7,b7 the           
characteristics of such particles2  7,c7
 the spatial distribution patterns and  
concentration of such particles2  7,d7  
the primary sources of such particles2  
7,e7 the contributions made by aircraft 
to such particles relative to other     
primary sources2  7,f7 the health       
impacts of such particles1 including    
with respect to heart and lung diseases1
 asthma rates1 nervous system disorders1
 and any other impacts observed in or   
suggested by previous studies reviewed  
under paragraph 7#a72 and  7,g7         
disproportionate rates of exposure1     
risks1 and other negative impacts on    
communities of color1 economically      
insecure residents1 vulnerable groups1  

and disparately impacted communities2   
and  7#c7 analyzes the potential impacts
 of mitigation options1 emissions       
reductions1 and the increased use of    
aviation biofuels with1 or in place of1 
commonly used petroleum-based aviation  
fuels on--  7,a7 ultrafine particles in

,administrator shall carry out the study
 in coordination with the ,environmental
 ,protection ,agency and the ,department
 of ,health and ,human ,services and may
 carry out the study in coordination    
with any other ,federal department or   
agency that the ,administrator          
determines is appropriate4  7c7 ,report 
,not later than #b years after the date 
of enactment of this section1 the       
,administrator shall submit to ,congress
 a report on the results of the study   
that includes related findings1         
analysis1 and a detailed description of 
the methods and data utilized4  7d7

means a particle under #ajj nanometers  
in diameter4
