U.S Lawmakers Reach Compromise on FAA Extension
Measure, which extends FAA's operating authority through Fiscal Year 2017, leaves out ATC privatization, but also certification, regulatory reforms.

U.S. House and Senate leaders detailed their agreement yesterday for an extension of the FAA’s operating authority through September 30 next year. The agreement, which could reach the House floor this week followed by the Senate early next week, includes other aviation provisions, among them the much sought-after third-class aeromedical exemption. The agreement also addresses certain safety, security and consumer protection issues.
