Of the funds made available by this section, $875,000,000 shall be reserved for awards to eligible recipients to carry out activities with respect to ports located in nonattainment areas for any air pollutant. Funds awarded under this section shall not be used— to purchase fully automated cargo-handling equipment or terminal infrastructure that is designed for fully automated cargo-handling equipment; or by any recipient or sub-recipient to perform construction, alteration, installation, or repair work that is not located at, or does not directly serve, the one or more ports involved.

The term qualified climate action plan means a detailed and strategic plan that— establishes goals, implementation strategies, and accounting and inventory practices (including practices used to measure progress towards stated goals) to reduce emissions at one or more ports of— greenhouse gases; any air pollutant that is listed pursuant to section 108(a) (or any precursor to such an air pollutant); and hazardous air pollutants; and includes a strategy to collaborate with, communicate with, and address potential effects on stakeholders that may be affected by implementation of such plan, including low-income and disadvantaged near-port communities.
The term zero-emissions port equipment and technology means any equipment or technology that— produces zero emissions of any air pollutant that is listed pursuant to section 108(a) (or any precursor to such an air pollutant) and any greenhouse gas other than water vapor; or captures 100 percent of such emissions produced by an ocean-going vessel at berth. .
