Summary

Entitles an air traffic controller, who is to be removed by the Secretary of Transportation after being judged as unfit for duty, to training, provided such controller: (1) is not a supervisor; (2) has completed at least eight years of service; (3) is not eligible for immediate retirement; (4) notifies the appropriate review board of any intention to apply for training; (5) submits an application which sets forth a proposed training program and includes a physician's certification that such employee is suited for training; (6) notifies the Secretary of an intention to participate in an approved training program; and (7) is to be removed from duty because of medical disqualification, inability to maintain technical proficiency, or physical or mental health requirements. Directs the Secretary to: (1) designate Department of Transportation employees as regional career counselors who shall assist controllers in developing training programs; and (2) establish regional review boards to consider applications for training and evaluate training programs to determine whether such programs will result in successful training and job placement. Prohibits such a board from approving any program the duration of which exceeds two years. Requires that a controller, on request, receive assistance in being placed in a vacant position in another agency upon completion of training. Requires the Secretary to reimburse a controller for the expenses of approved training.
