Dems Call For Action on Repair Station Testing Regs
DeFazio and Larsen expressed disappointment with the FAA's failure to implement the mandatory drug testing requirement despite congressional mandates.

Two House Democrat leaders expressed an increasing impatience with the U.S. FAA’s failure to implement mandatory drug- and- alcohol testing requirements for foreign repair stations. Congress in 2012 and 2016 directed the FAA to implement such requirements. The FAA in 2014 issued an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking, but has not yet finalized any rule.
