NBAA OUTLINES FAA REAUTHORIZATION PRIORITIES On March 24, National Business Aviation Association
(NBAA) President and CEO Ed Bolen set forth the business aviation community’s top priorities as Congress began work on crafting legislation for “reauthorization,” or funding and governance of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In written testimony submitted to the U.S. House of Representatives Transportation & Infrastructure Committee’s Subcommittee on Aviation, Bolen outlined nine “guiding principles” NBAA and its Members consider fundamental for ensuring that proposals off ered in conjunction with FAA reauthorization support business aviation, which helps generate over a million American jobs and more than $200 million in economic activity each year. Bolen’s testimony was put forward as part of an Aviation Subcommittee hearing focused on FAA reauthorization, and aviation system modernization, titled, ““Options for FAA Air Traffi c Control Reform.” “The U.S. today has the best air transportation system in the world, but in order for us to be able to make that statement a decade from now, changes will be necessary,” Bolen’s testimony states. “How we accomplish those changes is at the heart of the reauthorization debate. NBAA and its Members are committed to the changes needed to make NextGen a reality, but we will not support changes that fail to preserve business aviation’s access to airspace and airports in a safe, predictable and aff ordable manner. The debate over
how to get from where we are to where we want to go is one NBAA believes should be undertaken in the context of data, facts and guiding principles.” Bolen outlined those guiding principles as follows: • Make NextGen a reality. The business aviation community supports a continuing transition to a Next Generation, or “NextGen” aviation system, but recognizes that the transition will continue to be met with signifi cant challenges, and for America to retain its world-leadership position in aviation, change will be necessary. “Make no mistake about it: no one is content with the clarity, pace or cost of the transition to NextGen to date,” Bolen’s testimony notes. “We need to do better.”
• Keep congressional control over taxes, fees and charges. In the FAA reauthorization debate, proposals are being off ered that would put authority over the aviation system in the hands of structures consisting of non-elected offi cials. While a dialogue about fi nding a new governance structure is appropriate, the composition and scope of its authority remains a critical consideration. Congress must retain authority over taxes, fees and charges.
• No user fees. All of general aviation, including business aviation, pays for its use of the aviation system through a fuel tax, which is the most effi cient, eff ective payment system. Congress has repeatedly written to current and
