Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization: An Overview of Legislative Action in the 111th Congress

Abstract

Funding authorization for aviation programs set forth in Vision 100?Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act (P.L. 108-176) and authorization for taxes and fees that provide revenue for the aviation trust fund expired at the end of FY2007. While Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization legislation was considered during the 110th Congress, the only related legislation enacted consisted of several short-term extensions for aviation trust fund revenue collections and aviation program authority, thus carrying the issue of FAA reauthorization over to the 111th Congress. While FAA reauthorization debate has continued during the 111th Congress, additional short-term extensions have been passed to extend the authorization of aviation programs, funding, and aviation trust fund revenue collections.
