FAA Faces Furloughs in Event of Government Shutdown
The FAA had not yet released a list of what it would shut down should lawmakers fail to adopt a CR, but 15,000 employees were furloughed in last shutdown.

U.S. lawmakers are still attempting to build support for a continuing resolution (CR) that would avert a shutdown of many government functions, including those involving the FAA. But the lack of a deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program threatens the prospects for the CR. The federal government is funded through January 19, but negotiators are now pushing for an extension through February 16.
