Lawmakers To Debate ATC Plan While GA Opposition Grows
The House T&I Committee will hold a hearing on the ATC plan on February 10 with consideration possibly following the next day.

General aviation groups are orchestrating a large lobbying campaign against U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster’s (R-Pa.) independent air traffic control organization as the House Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee prepares to debate and consider the plan this week. The committee has scheduled a hearing tomorrow on the comprehensive FAA reauthorization package, H.R.4441, the Aviation Innovation, Reform and Reauthorization Act (the AIRR Act), which includes a proposal to create a user-funded, non-for-profit corporation to run the U.S. ATC system. Committee consideration of the bill could come as early as February 11.
