Congress Returns to Work This Week, FAA Reauthorization on Its Agenda
|
|
An important year for aviation begins this week as the House of Representatives returns to work after its holiday recess. The Senate will resume its work next week. Lawmakers have until March 31st to reauthorize the FAA and its programs. Senator John Thune (R-SD), Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, noted the importance of the FAA reauthorization bill stating, “In 2016, we have significant work in front of us, and nothing in our committee’s jurisdiction looms larger than passing a reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the opportunity to enact reforms creating a safer and more efficient aviation sector.” The Ranking Democratic Member of the House Transportation Committee, Representative Peter DeFazio (D-OR) said in a recent interview that while he was optimistic the House could act on reauthorization legislation well in advance of the deadline, the question of whether to create a privatized air traffic control corporation is still unresolved.
