,contents ,in conducting the study under
 subsection 7a71 the ,administrator     
shall focus on the following items3 7#a7
 ,the effect of persistent helicopter   
noise on residential and recreational   
areas1 including-- 7,a7 an analysis of  
the volume of helicopter traffic1       
including the time helicopters are      
flying and the frequency of helicopters 
traversing the airspace2  7,b7 an       
analysis of noise levels related to     
helicopter operations2  7,c7 an analysis
 of safety1 health1 environmental1 and  
economic issues related to helicopter   
operations2  7,d7 an analysis of whether
 helicopters are following the terms and
 conditions of voluntary agreements1    
including the ,statue of ,liberty       
,national ,monument and ,governors      
,island ,national ,monument ,voluntary  
,agreement2  7,e7 an analysis of the    
origination of helicopters traversing   
the airspace within a #bj-mile radius of
 the ,statue of ,liberty ,national      
,monument2  7,f7 an analysis of the     

necessity of helicopter traffic within a
 #bj-mile radius of the ,statue of      
,liberty ,national ,monument2  7,g7 an  
analysis of how helicopters contribute  
to the congestion of the airspace within
 a #bj-mile radius of the ,statue of    
,liberty2  7,h7 an projection of how    
electric vertical take off and landing  
aircraft or other advanced air mobility 
technologies will contribute to the     
congestion1 noise1 and safety of the    
airspace within a #bj-mile radius of the
 ,statue of ,liberty2  7,i7 an analysis 
of the quality of life of residents     
living in areas with high volumes of    
helicopter noise2 and  7,j7 an analysis 
of any other issue related to helicopter
 traffic on residential and recreational
 areas4  7#b7 ,solutions to abate or    
eliminate helicopter noise on           
residential and recreational areas1     
including-- 7,a7 the feasibility of     
diverting helicopters from residential  
and recreational areas2  7,b7 the       
feasibility of creating new flight paths

 for helicopters1 with attention to the 
presence of airports within a #bj-mile  
radius of the ,statue of ,liberty       
,national ,monument2  7,c7 an analysis  
of whether banning nonessential         
helicopters within a #bj-mile radius of 
the ,statue of ,liberty will increase   
the overall safety1 health1 and         
environment of the community2  7,d7 the 
feasibility of establishing altitude    
limits for helicopter operations in and 
around within a #bj-mile radius of the  
,statue of ,liberty ,national ,monument2
 and  7,e7 other options for abating    
helicopter noise4  7c7 ,report ,not     
later than #ahj days after the date of  
enactment of this ,act1 the             
,administrator shall submit to ,congress
 a report on the study under subsection
