House Extends FAA Authorization

The House today passed an extension of FAA authorization, the 23rd extension, and the Senate is expected to follow suit as early as tonight. The extension carries the program through February 17. The extension allows the conferees time to resolve the remaining differences between the House and Senate passed versions of the bill. This is a shorter period than had originally been discussed because Chairman Mica believes the remaining issues can be resolved quickly and passed by both chambers.  For more information, please contact Brian Deery at (703) 837-5319 or deeryb@agc.org.
