The Administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration shall take such actions as are necessary to ensure that no air brake control valve (defined in this section as an air brake control valve that was subject to the circular letter issued by the Association of American Railroads issued on October 25, 2013 (C–12027)) manufactured before January 1, 2006, is equipped on a rail car operating on— a unit train north of the 37th parallel on or after August 1, 2022; or a non-unit train north of the 37th parallel on or after August 1, 2024. Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, and every year thereafter until brake valves described in subsection
(a)are no longer operating on rail cars as required under subsection (a), the Administrator shall transmit to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate a report that identifies— the estimated number of such brake valves on rail cars operating on— unit trains north of the 37th parallel; and non-unit trains north of the 37th parallel; any issues affecting the industry’s progress toward ensuring that such brake valves are phased out in accordance with the requirements of subsection (a); and efforts the Administrator has taken since the previous report to ensure such brake valves are phased out in accordance with the requirements of subsection (a). If the Administrator determines that air brake control valves not covered under subsection
(a)demonstrate leakage in low temperatures similar to the leakage exhibited by the air brake control valve identified in subsection (a), the Administrator shall ensure that the air brake control valves determined to be demonstrating leakage under this subsection are phased out in accordance with the requirements of subsection (a).
