| Title: | Cost Control Issues for the Federal Aviation Administration's Operations and Modernization Accounts |
| Date: | April 09, 2003 |
| Type: | Testimony |
| CC-2003-098 | |
| Summary: | The Inspector General testified regarding cost-control issues for FAA’s operations and modernization budget before the House Transportation-Treasury Appropriations Subcommittee. He told the subcommittee that FAA urgently needs to bring its costs under control. FAA’s budget has grown from about $8.2 billion in FY 1996 to $14 billion in FY 2004, an increase of $5.8 billion or nearly 70 percent. The magnitude of cost growth FAA has experienced over the past 4 to 5 years is no longer sustainable given the financial state of the airline industry, and multibillion-dollar declines in projected Aviation Trust Fund receipts. FAA Administrator Marion Blakey also testified. |
