Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Cargo Flight Deck Security Act of 2023This bill requires certain all-cargo aircraft to be equipped with intrusion-resistant cockpit doors that remain locked while the aircraft is in flight, as directed by the aircraft's pilot in command.The bill covers new aircraft that have a cockpit door, are manufactured after January 1, 2027, and are used for delivery in all-cargo air transportation with a maximum certificated payload capacity that exceeds 6,500 pounds.The requirement takes effect on January 1, 2027, regardless of whether the Federal Aviation Administration has issued regulations to implement such a requirement.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

Raises the SPCC rule's aboveground storage capacity threshold for farms from 20,000 to 42,000 gallons
Increases other SPCC plan requirement thresholds for some smaller farms
Exempts farms with less than 10,000 gallons of aboveground storage capacity from SPCC plan requirements

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If enacted, this bill would reduce regulatory burdens on many mid-sized farms by raising the capacity thresholds for mandatory SPCC plans. This could save farmers time and money, but may also reduce environmental protections against potential oil spills on some farms.
