2016 Year in Review: A Short-term FAA Bill Resets the Debate on ATC Reform
ATC reform remains a high priority for House Transportation and Infrastructure chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.).

When the 115th U.S. Congress convenes in January, it will face another FAA reauthorization deadline. The House and Senate will have until September 30 to come up with another comprehensive reauthorization bill, providing a new opportunity to finish unresolved issues such as certification reform, taxation of aircraft management fees and possibly even the so-called fuel fraud measure. But it also will provide a venue to reopen the unresolved debate surrounding air traffic reform.
