Advanced Aviation Infrastructure Modernization Act or the AAIM Act This bill establishes a pilot grant program to support advanced air mobility (AAM) infrastructure. AAM infrastructure refers to an air transportation system that transports individuals and property between points in the United States in both controlled and uncontrolled airspace using certain aircraft, including remotely piloted, autonomous, or vertical take-off and landing aircraft. The Department of Transportation (DOT) must award planning grants for AAM infrastructure to (1) state, local, or tribal governments; (2) airport sponsors; (3) transit agencies; (4) port authorities; (5) metropolitan planning organizations; or (6) consortia of such entities. Entities that receive these grants must develop a comprehensive plan for AAM infrastructure, including vertiports (sites that support the landing, takeoff, loading, and other operations of vertical take-off and landing aircraft). Topics covered in the plan must address matters such as identifying locations for AAM infrastructure and available sources of funding. DOT must brief Congress about the plans it receives. The briefing must include an evaluation of the planned or proposed locations for vertiports and a description of best practices or lessons learned through the review of comprehensive plans. If the Federal Aviation Administration certifies at least two aircraft models designed to provide AAM transportation and other requirements are met, DOT may award construction grants to entities that submitted comprehensive plans. Recipients may use grant funds for design, environmental studies, and other capital costs related to the construction of a public-use vertiport or associated infrastructure. Grants may not be awarded after September 30, 2023.

M. Nicolas Dupont-Aignan attire l'attention de Mme la ministre des armées sur l'urgence de se préparer à la haute intensité qui est sans doute le meilleur moyen de prévenir la guerre. Or dans un rapport de la Rand Corporation qui vient de paraître (think tank américain réputé et apolitique), il apparaît que si l'armée française est une des meilleures forces militaires d'Europe occidentale, l'étude déplore un « manque de profondeur » et une armée « d'échantillons », c'est-à-dire l'incapacité des militaires français à soutenir un conflit de haute intensité conventionnel (non nucléaire) au-delà de quelques semaines (comme en 1870 ou 1940), malgré leur vaste éventail de compétence qui leur permet d'accomplir presque toutes les missions. En cause, notamment, des déficits dans le transport aérien stratégique, un stock de munitions nettement insuffisant, l'indisponibilité récurrente des hélicoptères de combat comme de la flotte de surface trop peu nombreuse, une artillerie peu adaptée aux frappes à longues distances et une absence de système de neutralisation des défenses antiaériennes ennemies. Les forces françaises présenteraient également des problèmes de préparation opérationnelle à la haute intensité, ainsi qu'un manque de réserve disponible après la suspension du service militaire depuis plus de vingt ans et l'absence d'une véritable garde nationale comme dans d'autre pays ou comme elle a pu exister en France entre 1791 et 1871. Aussi, face à l'accélération du réarmement mondial, de la monté du risque de conflits de haute intensité et de la nécessite de se faire respecter au plan international, il lui demande si le Gouvernement envisage de tenir compte des analyses de ce rapport indépendant et d'investir massivement dans les blindés, l'artillerie, les drones, les munitions, les dispositifs antichars et antiaériens de tous types qui sont autant de moyens qui font cruellement défaut à l'armée française. En effet, la responsabilité d'hommes et de femmes d'État qui pensent à la prochaine génération est de préparer en permanence l'imprévu comme l'impensable, soit de préparer un « conflit de survie » engageant toutes les forces vives du pays à commencer par les forces militaires. La liberté n'a pas de prix. « La défense ! C'est la première raison d'être de l'État. Il ne peut y manquer sans se détruire lui-même », affirmait Charles de Gaulle dans son discours de Bayeux du 16 juin 1946. Dès lors, il conviendrait de procéder rapidement aux ajustements nécessaires pour renforcer efficacement les armées et l'indépendance face au retour des menaces. Il souhaite connaître son avis sur ce sujet.

Omnibus Tourism Act of 2021 This bill addresses measures to support the U.S. travel and tourism industry with a specific focus on assisting the industry recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill establishes the office of Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Travel and Tourism. Among other responsibilities, the Assistant Secretary must develop and implement a strategy to assist the U.S. travel and tourism industry to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill also provides statutory authority for the United States Travel and Tourism Advisory Board and directs the board to assist with the recovery strategy. Additionally, the Department of Commerce must study the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on employment rates, business revenues, and other aspects of the travel and tourism industry and provide policy recommendations to promote the industry. Further, the Department of Health and Human Services must establish a joint federal task force to address health, safety, security, and other logistical issues affecting air travel during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill establishes a committee comprised of representatives of airports, aviation workers, and other stakeholders to advise the task force. In addition, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) must study the feasibility of using dogs to detect the presence of the virus that causes COVID-19 as part of airport security screenings. The TSA may also establish a pilot program at up to six foreign airports to allow passengers departing from those airports to bypass domestic security rescreening at a connecting airport in the United States.
