Bill Analysis
The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 (HR 3935) is a comprehensive piece of legislation that reauthorizes funding and establishes policies for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and related aviation programs through fiscal year 2028. This law aims to enhance aviation safety, improve infrastructure, and support technological advancements in the aviation sector.
Key provisions of the Act include an authorization of approximately $100 billion over five years for FAA operations, including air traffic control, safety oversight, and airport improvement programs. The bill allocates significant funding for the Airport Improvement Program (AIP), which supports the development and maintenance of public-use airports, and emphasizes the need for modernization of air traffic control systems through the implementation of NextGen technologies.
The legislation establishes new safety regulations, including stricter oversight of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and commercial space operations, enhancing the FAA’s authority to regulate these rapidly growing sectors. It also mandates the development of a comprehensive strategy to address aviation workforce challenges, including training and recruitment initiatives aimed at ensuring a skilled labor force in the aviation industry.
Additionally, the Act includes provisions for environmental sustainability, directing the FAA to promote the development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation sector.
Key beneficiaries of the bill include airlines, airport authorities, aviation manufacturers, and the general public, who will experience improved safety and efficiency in air travel. The legislation also imposes regulations on drone operators and commercial spaceflight companies to ensure compliance with safety standards.
The bill was signed into law on September 29, 2023, marking a significant step in the federal government’s commitment to enhancing the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the U.S. aviation system through 2028.
