This bill requires a strategy and studies to address obstructions to accurate weather observations forecasting.

The bill expands notice requirements relating to structures that interfere with air commerce or national security to require public notice of the construction or expansion of a structure or sanitary landfill when such notice will promote the ability of any federal agency engaged in meteorological or atmospheric observations to accurately forecast weather.

The Department of Commerce must designate a senior official of the National Weather Service (NWS) and a lead organization of the NWS to serve as (1) the executive agent to carry out the strategy for addressing the weather forecasting and public safety impacts of certain Department of Transportation (DOT) projects, and (2) a clearinghouse to coordinate Commerce review of applications for such projects.

Commerce must develop a comprehensive strategy for addressing the weather forecasting and public safety impacts of such DOT projects.
