The House today is slated to begin consideration of the comprehensive five-year FAA reauthorization bill, the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act (H.R.3935), with wide industry support. More than 1,000 industry leaders and stakeholders have pledged support for the legislation, according to the leadership of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, which authored the bipartisan package.

Deliberations are expected to extend into tomorrow following Rules Committee approval of some 100 amendments that could be offered to the bill, many of which may be packaged together. That was just a little more than one-quarter of the amendments that had been requested.
