Book excerpt: The Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (FAIR21 or AIR21; P.L. 106-181), which currently provides authorization for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and related aviation programs, expires at the end of FY2003. Consequently, the 108th Congress has been engaged in the process of drafting and debating legislation to reauthorize the FAA and related aviation programs for future years. A number of issues have risen to prominence in the reauthorization debate. The condition of the airline industry, while not directly addressed in the bills, has had an impact on the debate because the aviation industry's recessionary environment has constrained the trust fund revenues that support most of the FAA budget. Increasing capacity and reducing future congestion and delay are issues that are addressed in both airport development proposals as well as proposals concerning air traffic modernization. "Environmental streamlining" is also a major element of the reauthorization debate, involving proposals to expedite environmental reviews potentially affecting the completion of airport capacity capital projects. Funding security enhancements at airports without depleting the Airport and Airway Trust Fund of funds needed to support the national system's other needs has become a significant issue in the debate. Subsidizing air ...

Book excerpt: Much has changed since the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21) reauthorized the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) programs 3 years ago. At that time, air traffic was increasing, and concerns about congestion and flight delays were paramount. Since then, the downturn in the nation's economy, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and, most recently, the war in Iraq have taken a heavy toll on aviation. Analysts nonetheless expect the demand for air travel to rebound, and the nation's aviation system must be ready to accommodate the projected growth safely and securely. The current reauthorization of FAA's programs provides an opportunity for the Congress and the administration to focus on challenges in increasing aviation capacity, efficiency, and safety and in controlling aviation program costs. Increasing capacity and service in the national airspace system poses several challenges. While airports currently receive enough funding to cover FAA's estimate of their planned capital development costs, a declining surplus in the trust fund that helps to support development and the need to spend up to $5 billion over the next 5 years for security-related capital improvements make the financial outlook for the next 5 to 8 years uncertain. Runway development, the principal means of increasing capacity, is now taking 10 to 14 years to complete, in large part because of time-consuming environmental reviews and community concerns. Providing air service for small communities is also becoming more difficult as costs increase and passenger ticket revenues decline. Intermodal alternatives may hold promise. Efforts to improve the efficiency of the national airspace system by modernizing the air traffic control system face challenges despite actions taken by the Congress and the administration to eliminate the cost overruns, schedule delays, and performance shortfalls that have plagued FAA's modernization efforts. Overall, FAA is improving its management of the air traffic modernization program and has implemented some systems, but key projects continue to experience problems. To enhance aviation safety, FAA and the aviation industry have undertaken an initiative to reduce the fatal accident rate, and FAA is working to strengthen its safety inspections of airlines' operations. Interagency coordination of aviation safety and aviation security activities has emerged as a challenge with the transfer of aviation security responsibilities from FAA to the Transportation Security Administration. FAA faces challenges in implementing controls over its costs. Although it has partially implemented a new cost accounting system that enables it to track 70 percent of its air traffic services costs, this system lacks internal controls over $3.1 billion in labor costs, according to the Department of Transportation's Inspector General. Congressional oversight is important to ensure that FAA implements controls and spends its resources effectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congress concluded its debate on the airport and airway trust fund (aviation trust fund) by modifying its treatment in the budget. The Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR21 or FAIR21)(P.L. 106-181) contains a so called ''guarantee'' that uses House and Senate point-of-order rules to ensure that all aviation trust fund receipts (including interest) are spent for aviation purposes on an annual basis. This provision represents a compromise in what had become a contentious debate. When the legislation was first considered in the House in 1999 it contained two separate budget options for the trust fund. The first, taking the trust fund off-budget, was contained in the passed House version of the bill. The second option, which would have created a ''firewall'' around aviation programs, was dropped during later committee consideration. (1) Changing the budget treatment of the trust fund was opposed by the Clinton Administration and by some Members of the House and Senate Budget and Appropriations Committees. Reauthorization legislation passed by the Senate contained no budget treatment provisions. The budget treatment provisions in AIR21 were not challenged during the FY2001 appropriations process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Airport Improvement Program (AIP) provides federal grants to airports for capital development. The April 5, 2000 enactment of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 106-181) was the culmination of two years of legislative effort to pass a multi-year Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization, including authorization for AIP. The length of the struggle was an outgrowth of the difficulty of the issues Congress faced. During the 106th Congress, the House and the Senate passed two very different FAA reauthorization bills. It took until March 8, 2000 for conferees to come to agreement and the bill was not signed into law until April 5, 2000. This meant that the AIP was in abeyance for six months starting October 1, 1999. The House multi-year FAA reauthorization act, the Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (H.R. 1000), also referred to as AIR21, passed the House on June 15, 1999. It proposed a five-year AIP authorization at the following annual levels; $2.475 billion for FY2000, $4.0 billion for FY2001, $4.1 billion for FY2002, $4.25 billion for FY2003, and $4.35 billion for FY2004. It also included provisions for doubling the ceiling on Passenger Facility Charges(PFCs) under certain conditions. The increase of annual AIP spending and many of the formula changes in the bill were dependent on passage of provisions in H.R. 1000 that would have taken the Airport and Airway Trust Fund (hereafter, the aviation trust fund). The Senate version of H.R. 1000 (as amended by S. 82) the Air Transportation Improvement Act passed on October 5, 1999. It includes AIP authorization levels of $2.41 billion for FY1999, $2.475 billion for FY2000, and $2.41 billion annually for FY2001 and FY2002. It also included program changes affecting aspects of funding distribution, PFC waivers, and project eligibility criteria. Although the floor debate focused on non-AIP issues, some changes to AIP were included in the Senate-passed version including a new 5% apportionment for states that include a General Aviation Metropolitan Access and Reliever Airport, as defined in the bill. On April 5, 2000, the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (FAIR21, P.L. 106-181) was signed by the President. This $40 billion FAA reauthorization Act includes AIP authorizations of $2.475 billion for FY2000, $3.2 billion for FY2001, $3.3 billion for FY2002, and $3.4 billion for FY2003. The Act also Raises the PFC ceiling to $4.50. The new law includes so-called ''guarantees'' that all of each year's receipts and interest credited to the aviation trust fund will be made available annually for aviation purposes. One of the enforcement provisions makes it out-of-order in either the House or Senate to consider legislation for funding FAA's Operations and Maintenance or its Research, Engineering and Development budgets if the AIP and the Facilities and Equipment Budgets are funded below authorized levels. Supporters of AIP hope that this will assure AIP funding at the fully authorized level. This report will not be updated.

Book excerpt: Section 520 of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21) required the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct the study described below and report the results to Congress by April 5, 2001: The Administrator shall conduct a study to determine the number of persons working at airports who are injured or killed as a result of being struck by a moving vehicle while on an airport tarmac, the seriousness of the injuries to such persons, and whether or not reflective safety vests or other actions should be required to enhance the safety of such workers. The report identifies possible remedial occupational safety actions that might prevent or reduce the number or severity of struck by injuries and evaluates safety vests or high visibility clothing only in terms of their general effectiveness.
