Lawmakers Eyeing Next FAA Reauthorization Bill

House Transportation Committee chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) set the table for the next round of FAA reauthorization and federal aviation programs when he told the International Aviation Club of Washington, D.C., last month that “we have to begin laying the groundwork now.” The current FAA reauthorization became law in 2012 and expires in September 2015.

“That bill–the FAA Modernization and Reform Act–made some important reforms and we’re trying to ensure the FAA is implementing them,” he said. “But we have more work to do to put U.S. aviation on a true path to the future.”
