FAA Extension Wins Congressional Approval
Washington turns to completion of long-term bill.

Unable to finish a long-term FAA reauthorization bill in time, U.S. lawmakers agreed to a six-month extension of the agency’s authorization. The extension bill, the Disaster Tax Relief and Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2017 (H.R.3823), cleared both the House and Senate on September 28, just two days before FAA’s authorization was set to expire. Passage came after the bill faltered on the first vote in the House—Hurricane relief assistance was added in the House, but a controversial flood insurance provision was removed in the Senate before final passage.
