of radar coverage because timely response and recovery of data are more challenging when an accident occurs in a remote area. Currently, aircraft that fly extended overwater operations must carry additional survival equipment, such as liferafts and survival-type emergency locator transmitters to mitigate the risks, and would benefit from the addition of safety technology outlined in this Act. (13) As a result of the 2014 safety forum, the NTSB formally issued safety recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration (referred to in this Act as the FAA ), aligning with the ICAO regulations, to require that all newly manufactured aircraft operating extended overwater operations and operating under part 121 or part 135 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, that are required to have a CVR and a FDR, be equipped with a tamper-resistant method to broadcast sufficient information to establish the location where an aircraft terminates flight within 6 nm (A–15–001), an airframe low-frequency ULD that will function for at least 90 days (A–15–002), and a secondary FDR/CVR system that enables the recovery of mandatory flight data parameters without the need for an underwater retrieval (A–15–003). (14) In support of commercial passenger safety and national security, it is in the public’s best interest that the FAA initiate a formal rulemaking process to implement the NTSB’s Safety Recommendations A–15–001 through A–15–003 in order to— (A) provide aviation safety investigators with critical FDR and CVR data without the delays and cost of underwater search and recoveries
