Sec. 44514. Flight service stations

    (a) Hours of Operation.--(1) The Secretary of Transportation may 
close, or reduce the hours of operation of, a flight service station in 
an area only if the service provided in the area after the closing or 
during the hours the station is not in operation is provided by an 
automated flight service station with at least model 1 equipment.
    (2) The Secretary shall reopen a flight service station closed after 
March 24, 1987, but before July 15, 1987, as soon as practicable if the 
service in the area in which the station is located has not been 
provided since the closing by an automatic flight service station with 
at least model 1 equipment. The hours of operation for the reopened 
station shall be the same as were the hours of operation for the station 
on March 25, 1987. After reopening the station, the Secretary may close, 
or reduce the hours of operation of, the station only as provided in 
paragraph (1) of this subsection.
    (b) Manned Auxiliary Stations.--The Secretary and the Administrator 
of the Federal Aviation Administration shall establish a system of 
manned auxiliary flight service stations. The manned auxiliary flight 
service stations shall supplement the services of the planned 
consolidation to 61 automated flight service stations under the flight 
service station modernization program. A manned auxiliary flight service 
station shall be located in an area of unique weather or operational 
conditions that are critical to the safety of flight.
