                                                         SUMMARY ANALYSIS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency requires diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to be used in newer
diesel engines, including diesel-powered vehicles used for aircraft and airport support. DEF is an exhaust
additive that reduces diesel emissions by neutralizing nitrogen oxide into harmless nitrogen gas and water.

In recent years, aircraft have experienced engine shutdowns and other engine operability issues resulting from
the contamination of jet fuel due to the inadvertent filling of an aircraft fuel truck's anti-icing injection system
reservoirs with DEF instead of a fuel system icing inhibitor. The Federal Aviation Administration has made
preliminary safety recommendations regarding the use of DEF at airports, including additional training and the
adoption of best management practices.

The bill requires certain public airports that utilize DEF to create a DEF safety mitigation and exclusion plan
and provides minimum requirements for each plan. The plan must be approved by the governing body of the
airport and submitted to the Department of Transportation (DOT). The airport must regularly review its plan and
annually certify compliance to DOT.

The bill may have an indeterminate negative fiscal impact on state and local governments. See Fiscal Analysis
for details.

The bill has an effective date of July 1, 2021 .

                                                      FULL ANALYSIS

                                               I. SUBSTANTIVE ANALYSIS

    A. EFFECT OF PROPOSED CHANGES:
         Current Situation

         Diesel Exhaust Fluid
         Under the Clean Air Act of 1990, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in order to
         curb air pollution, has mandated stronger emission control standards for vehicle engines. Nitrogen
         oxide (NOx) emissions can be a major pollutant from diesel engines and the EPA has targeted them for
         significant reductions. In 2007, the EPA mandated that all new on-road heavy duty vehicles
         manufactured after 2010 meet certain requirements, with light duty vehicles to meet these requirements
         in 2014. In order to meet these standards, technologies such as selective catalytic reduction have been
         developed. 1

         In diesel vehicles, selective catalytic reduction reduces NOx emissions by injecting diesel exhaust fluid
         (DEF) into ammonia, which in the presence of the catalyst, reacts with the exhaust NOx to neutralize it
         into harmless nitrogen gas and water. 2

         DEF is a nontoxic, nonhazardous, and colorless aqueous solution of automotive grade Urea in
         deionized water. 3

         Airport Use of Diesel Exhaust Fluid
         At public airports, the airport and its tenants use DEF in various diesel-powered vehicles including
         aircraft refueling equipment, diesel aircraft fire-fighting equipment, life-saving equipment, and
         emergency generators. 4

         In recent years, aircraft have experienced engine shutdowns and other engine operability issues due to
         the contamination of jet fuel as a result of the inadvertent filling of aircraft fuel trucks anti-icing injection
         system with DEF instead of fuel system icing inhibitor. 5

         Due to fuel system designs, some aircraft require fuel system icing inhibitor to prevent engine
         operability issues in cold weather. Due to this requirement, for many years, airport refueling trucks have
         been equipped with fuel system icing inhibitor injection systems, which require a fuel system icing
         inhibitor fluid reservoir mounted on the truck to supply the injection system during refueling. Newer
         refueling trucks contain a DEF reservoir in addition to the fuel system icing inhibitor reservoir. Since the
         EPA's mandate for selective catalytic reduction on non-road diesel trucks began in 2014, airport
         refueling trucks with two reservoirs have begun appearing at airports. 6

         Between November 2017 and May 2019, there were three instances, two in Florida, in which multiple
         aircraft had jet fuel contaminated with DEF or were refueled using equipment exposed to DEF.
         Because of these instances, numerous aircraft had to perform emergency landings. The Federal

DATE: 2/3/2021
         Aviation Administration (FAA) conducted a hazard analysis and issued preliminary recommendations to
         address the problem, including additional training for ground support crews, adoption of best
         management practices, and dyeing either DEF or fuel system icing inhibitor so they can be
         distinguished from each other. 7 One recommendation called for the aviation industry to request that
         EPA issue permanent relief from emission control/system performance inducements (which require the
         use of DEF) for any non-road diesel powered vehicles at or on airports.8

         The Florida Airports Council 9 has initiated efforts to address fuel contamination issues and specifically
         DEF. According to the Council, this effort is broad and intended to call attention to the issue and to
         educate airports, users, fuel providers and community leaders about the safety concerns and how to
         avoid fuel contamination . The Council indicates that it is working closely with its industry partners to
         develop a program of operational best management practices that all Florida airports and fuel providers
         can add to their training programs. 10

         Effect of the Bill

         The bill requires the governing body of certain public airports 11 to create a DEF safety mitigation and
         exclusion plan for each fixed-base operator12 that performs onsite treatment of aviation fuel with a fuel
         system icing inhibitor. This requirement applies to public airports at which :
             • Aviation fuels receive onsite treatment with fuel system icing inhibitors;
             • Aviation fuel is delivered by a publicly or privately owned fixed-base operator; and
             • Any aircraft fuel delivery vehicle or ground service equipment that uses DEF is operated within
                 150 feet of any aircraft.

         At a minimum, each airport's plan must include:
             • A full inventory of each fixed-base operator's DEF on the airport's premises.
             • Designation of specific areas where the fixed-base operator's DEF may be stored on the
                airport's premises. To the extent practicable, such areas may not be located within or on a
                vehicle operated for the fueling or servicing of aircraft or at any aviation fuel transfer facility or
                bulk aviation fuel storage facility.
             • Designation of specific areas where DEF may be added to vehicles . Such areas may not be
                located in aircraft operating areas.
             • Incorporation of best practices for ensuring the proper labeling and storage of diesel exhaust
                fluid.
             • Training in the proper use and storage of DEF for all employees of the fixed-base operator who
                may come in contact with such fluid in the ordinary course of their duties.
             • Designation of specific areas where the fixed-base operator's fuel system icing inhibitor may be
                stored on the airport's premises.
             • Best practices for ensuring the proper labeling and storage of the fixed-base operator's fuel
                system icing inhibitor.
             • Training in the proper use and storage of fuel system icing inhibitors for all employees of the
                fixed-base operator who may come in contact with fuel system icing inhibitors in the ordinary
                course of their duties.

            •   Physical measures to secure fuel system icing inhibitor fill points on the fixed-base operator's
                aircraft fuel delivery vehicles. Such measures must prevent the addition of any fluid to the fuel
                system icing inhibitor fill point by unauthorized personnel.

        Each airport's governing body, by September 1, 2021, must approve the DEF safety mitigation and
        exclusion plan. By October 1, 2021, the governing body must submit the plan to the Department of
        Transportation (DOT) and certify that all diesel exhaust fluid within the airport's premises has been
        secured.

        By January 1, 2022, the DEF safety mitigation and exclusion plan must be fully implemented on each
        airport's premises.

        By January 1 of each year, beginning in 2023, each public airport must certify to DOT the airport's
        compliance with its diesel exhaust fluid safety mitigation and exclusion plan.

        The bill has an effective date of July 1, 2021.

                         II. FISCAL ANALYSIS & ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT

    A. FISCAL IMPACT ON STATE GOVERNMENT:

       1. Revenues:
            The bill does not appear to impact state government revenues.

       2.   Expenditures:
            There is an indeterminate, but likely insignificant fiscal impact to DOT associated with reviewing
            airport DEF safety mitigation and exclusion plans. These expenditures can be absorbed within
            existing resources.

    B. FISCAL IMPACT ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

       1. Revenues:
            The bill does not appear to impact local government revenues.

       2.   Expenditures:
            There is an indeterminate, but likely negative fiscal impact to local governments operating public
            airports associated with complying with DEF safety mitigation and exclusion plans.

   C. DIRECT ECONOMIC IMPACT ON PRIVATE SECTOR:
       Tenants of public airports, including fuel providers, will incur expenditures associated with complying
       with the DEF safety mitigation and exclusion plans; however, the impact is indeterminate.

       The bill may reduce costs associated with aircraft engine damages caused by DEF contamination and
       emergency response related to engine failures.
