House Clears FAA Bill Once More, Along with Extension
The Senate is expected to act shortly, but a one-week extension provides the chamber with a little more time.

For the second time this year, the House has passed a comprehensive long-term FAA reauthorization bill, this time a five-year measure that was jointly developed and unveiled with Senate leaders on Saturday. House passage yesterday sends the bill, the Aviation, Transportation Safety, and Disaster Recovery Reforms and Reauthorization (H.R.302), to the Senate, which is expected to act on it shortly. But with a September 30 deadline before the FAA’s current authorization is set to expire, the House also approved a one-week extension (through October 7) to provide the Senate a little more time to consider H.R.302.
