Sec. 5114. Air transportation of ionizing radiation material

    (a) Transporting in Air Commerce.--Material that emits ionizing 
radiation spontaneously may be transported on a passenger-carrying 
aircraft in air commerce (as defined in section 40102(a) of this title) 
only if the material is intended for a use in, or incident to, research 
or medical diagnosis or treatment and does not present an unreasonable 
hazard to health and safety when being prepared for, and during, 
transportation.
    (b) Procedures.--The Secretary of Transportation shall prescribe 
procedures for monitoring and enforcing regulations prescribed under 
this section.
    (c) Nonapplication.--This section does not apply to material the 
Secretary decides does not pose a significant hazard to health or safety 
when transported because of its low order of radioactivity.
