More than four years and 23 short-term extensions since the expiration of VISION-100, a new, four-year FAA law is on the verge of enactment after the House, on Feb. 3, cleared the FAA Modernization & Reform Act.

TSA Content with Certification Ban

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has no plans to request congressional removal of the FAA prohibition on the certification of new foreign repair stations, Administrator John Pistole told ARSA.

In a January 4 reply to ARSA’s November 2011 letter detailing the ban’s negative consequences for the aviation industry, Pistole ignores the economic impact of TSA’s inaction and reiterates the agency’s earlier response that it won’t finalize repair station security rules until at least the fourth quarter of 2012.
