Repair Station Association Supports Increased Oversight Of
Repair Facilities
A provision dealing with oversight of maintenance and repair
stations worldwide in the FAA Reauthorization and Reform Act of
2011 (H.R. 658) moving through the U.S. House of
Representatives has drawn praise from the Aeronautical Repair
Station Association.
"We congratulate Chairmen Mica and Petri on crafting a bill that
will ensure more effective FAA oversight of foreign and domestic
repair stations, allow the industry to build on its outstanding
safety record, and ensure the continued competitiveness of the U.S.
maintenance industry." said ARSA Executive Director Sarah MacLeod
in a statement following the introduction of the bill by
Transportation & Infrastructure (T&I) Committee Chairman
John Mica (R-FL) and Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Tom Petri
(R-WI).
"As introduced, H.R. 658 will allow repair stations to remain
globally competitive and for those in America to lead in the
international aviation maintenance market. The legislation protects
the 274,000 Americans employed in the industry and ensures the
continued viability of its $39 billion annual contribution to the
U.S. economy," she said.
"By taking a common-sense approach, the T&I Committee have
removed a major impediment that prevented the bill from becoming
law last year. We look forward to working with the House, Senate,
and Obama administration in a bipartisan manner to quickly enact
this bill into law and restore predictability to U.S. aviation
policy."
