            (5) carry out research and development--
                    (A) to understand the impacts of climate change and 
                other factors on the nature of turbulence, including 
                severe turbulence and clear-air turbulence;
                    (B) to enhance turbulence forecasts for flight 
                planning and execution, seasonal predictions for 
                schedule and route-planning, and long-term projections 
                of severe turbulence, including clear-air turbulence; 
                and
                    (C) on other subject matters areas related to 
                severe turbulence, as determined by the Administrator; 
                and
            (6) support the effective transition of the results of 
        research and development to operations, where appropriate.
    (c) No Duplication.--The Administrator shall ensure that research 
and development activities under this section do not duplicate other 
Federal programs relating to turbulence.
    (d) Turbulence Data.--
            (1) Commercial providers.--In conducting research and 
        development activities under subsection (b), the Administrator 
        may enter into agreements with commercial providers for the 
        following:
                    (A) The purchase of turbulence data.
                    (B) The placement on aircraft of instruments 
                relevant to understanding and monitoring turbulence.
            (2) Data access.--The Administrator shall make the data 
        collected pursuant to subsection (b) widely available and 
        accessible to the scientific research, user, and stakeholder 
        communities, including the Administrator of the National 
        Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, to the greatest extent 
        practicable and in accordance with Federal Aviation 
        Administration data management policies.
    (e) Report on Turbulence Research.--Not later than 15 months after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Administrator, in 
collaboration with the Administrator of the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration, shall submit to the appropriate committees 
of Congress a report that--
            (1) details the activities conducted under this section, 
        including how the research and development activities under 
        subsection (b) have contributed to the goals specified in 
        subsection (a);
            (2) assesses the current state of scientific understanding 
        of the causes, occurrence rates, and past and projected future 
        trends in occurrence rates of severe turbulence, including 
        clear-air turbulence;
            (3) describes the processes and procedures for collecting, 
        storing, and managing, data in pursuant to subsection (b);
            (4) assesses--
                    (A) the use of commercial providers pursuant to 
                subsection (d)(1); and
                    (B) the need for any future Federal Government 
                collection or procurement of data and instruments 
                related to turbulence, including an assessment of 
                costs;
            (5) describes how such data will be made available to the 
        scientific research, user, and stakeholder communities; and
            (6) identifies future research and development needed to 
        inform the development of measures to predict and mitigate the 
        safety impacts that may result from severe turbulence, 
        including clear-air turbulence.

SEC. 219. RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND DEMONSTRATION PROGRAMS.

    (a) In General.--The Administrator shall carry out research, 
development, testing, evaluation, and demonstration programs for low-
carbon alternative aviation fuels, which may include next-generation 
feedstocks, biofuels, and bioderived chemicals.
    (b) Collaboration.--The Administrator shall collaborate with 
Federal agencies, industry stakeholders, research institutions, and 
other relevant stakeholders, to accelerate the research, development, 
testing, evaluation, and demonstrations programs described in 
subsection (a) and facilitate United States sustainability and 
competitiveness in aviation.

SEC. 220. LIMITATION.

    None of the funds authorized in this Act may be used to conduct

policy, program, order, or contract of any kind with the Chinese 
Communist Party or any Chinese-owned entity unless such activities are 
specifically authorized by a law enacted after the date of enactment of 
this Act.
