What does this do?
The FROST Act changes federal law's definition of "airport development" to include storage facilities for aircraft deicing equipment and fluids. This moves those facilities out of the narrower "airport planning" category and into the broader "airport development" one, affecting how they qualify for federal grants.
Who does it affect?
Airport operators, especially those in cold-weather regions who rely on deicing operations, are directly affected. Travelers on flights from those airports could be indirectly affected.
Why does it matter?
Since FAA grant programs base funding eligibility on these legal definitions, the reclassification could make it easier for airports to qualify for federal funding to build or improve deicing storage facilities. The bill does not change safety rules or mandate new spending.
