Founded in 1958, the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, is the nation’s largest transportation agency, overseeing all aspects of civil aviation. Due to the ever-changing needs of air travel, the association is required to reauthorize its authorities and spending on a regular basis. With current Congressional authorization ending on Sept. 30, a split government faces the daunting task of fitting their competing agendas into a new bill. Joined by three veterans of the FAA reauthorization process, our team will talk about the policy background for reauthorization negotiations, the policymakers involved in these discussions, the areas of compromise and disagreement, as well as the possible outcomes of a new bill.
