Lawmakers Debate ATC while Passing FAA Extension
Rep. Larsen, expressing disappointment at delay of long-term FAA reauthorization, questions need for independent ATC.

A divide over long-term FAA reauthorization was evident yesterday as the House approved a six-month extension of the agency’s programs by voice vote. The extension, the Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2015 (H.R.3614), was passed just a few days before the FAA’s current authorization is set to expire on September 30. H.R.3614 moves next to the Senate, where it is expected to be passed by voice vote as well.
