FAA Budget Policies and Practices
Abstract
In recent years, Congress has raised concerns about cost growth in the Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) operating budget. Appropriators noted several expenses in FAAs fiscal year 2004 facilities and equipment (F and E) accountthe account used byFAA for much of its capital purchasesbudget submission that appeared to be ongoing operating expenses. The House and Senate appropriations subcommittee reports on FAAs fiscal year 2004 budget submission highlighted 17 such budget items and recommended that the expenses for these items either be transferred to the operations budget or not receive funding. As a result of these concerns, the Conference Report accompanying the fiscal year 2004 Omnibus Appropriations Act directed us to conduct an audit of FAAs policies and practices for determining whether an expense should be budgeted in its operating accounts or in the capital account.1
