Approval Of Federal Budget High On Congressional Agenda Congress returns to Washington, D.C., in early January, with completion of the fiscal year 2018 federal budget high on the agenda. Shortly before adjourning for the holidays, members approved a stopgap measure to fund the government through January 19. Lawmakers hope to strike a deal on a budget framework early in the year and then take up an omnibus package of appropriations bills shortly thereafter. The final decisions on the fiscal year 2018 spending levels will determine the fate of a bipartisan proposal to increase the Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) and funding for TSA Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) reimbursement grants. The American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) is aggressively pressing lawmakers to support a Senate Appropriations Committee proposal to increase the PFC to (up to a maximum of) $8.50 for originating passengers and fully fund the LEO reimbursement program as part of the eventual FY 2018 omnibus appropriations package. The current PFC has been capped at $4.50 since B. Administration Publishes List of Rulemaking Changes The Trump Administration has published its semiannual list of planned new federal regulations or those planned for withdrawal. The complete Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions can be accessed here. For TSA, a notice of withdrawal is expected in January 2018 for the proposed Large Aircraft Security Program rulemaking. In 2008, TSA issued a proposed rulemaking related to general aviation that expanded the scope of current requirements, and added new requirements for certain large aircraft operators and airports serving those aircraft. TSA also proposed that all aircraft operators, including corporate and private charter operations, with aircraft having a maximum certified takeoff weight above 12,500 pounds (large aircraft) be required to adopt a large aircraft security program. In addition, TSA proposed to require certain airports that serve large aircraft to adopt security programs. TSA has decided not to pursue this rulemaking. Action Items The Airport is planning to bring the following item to the Board of Commissioners in January: Approval to add Airport to County Janitorial Services contract with Reliant Page 2
