In plain language (FlightFinder summary)

The FAA is asked to require a revision of the B-737 approved flight manual adding "ANTI-ICE" to the normal taxi and takeoff checklist, and to review checklists for all air carrier aircraft to ensure all action items needed for a successful takeoff are included, with special attention to items that may be affected by changing environmental conditions during ground delays.

This plain-language summary is written by FlightFinder to explain the recommendation above. It is not the official wording — the verbatim NTSB text is quoted above.
