Speaker, is entrusted, mr. Speaker, with providing for the safety of people and property in the air and on ground. So it is very critical that the agency have the tools it needs to account for the rapidly changing uses of the skies. The f. A. A. Already has authority to evaluate whether a proposed new structure will interfere with the safe operation of aircraft or air traffic control. However, this Statutory Authority does not explicitly direct the f. A. A. , mr. Speaker, to consider whether a new structure might interfere with the safe launch and reentry of commercial space vehicles. H. R. 607 provides the f. A. A.

R. 6007. And for his efforts on behalf of the entire commercial space industry. Due to his efforts, we got a great bill in the commercial space launch competitiveness act last year. Nine months into the bill, it has had a great impact on this industry. Space represents what is exceptional about the United States of america. We are characterized by a spirit of adventure, risk taking, entrepreneurialism, a spirit that has revolutionized access and operations in space to the point where our very way of life now depends on space. We have transformed how we communicate, how we navigate, how we produce food and energy. How we conduct banking, predict weather, perform Disaster Relief and provide security and so much more. But to be able to access space, we need a robust infrastructure. Space ports, and i would mention that we have a licensed space port in the great state of oklahoma, space ports are a key cog in that infrastructure. Facilitating launches and reentries, not only by government agencies, but also now by private companies. In order to ensure these entities can operate efficiently and facilitate space launch and reentry, government policy needs to treat them as it treats other key pieces of transportation infrastructure. This legislation, which i am proud to cosponsor, simply gives the f. A. A. The ability to analyze the navigable air space around airports. Around space ports. And authority an authority it currently lacks. This will help the f. A. A. And space ports understand how structures and other features around space ports will effect the operation of space vehicles. As a pilot myself, i can tell you, i have used approach plates, ive used departures. What we need now is an ability for the future infrastructure to incorporate space vehicles into these approach plates so that we can integrate commercial air traffic with space traffic.

Speaker, the Congress Authorizes funding for the federal transportation programs which in turn obviously provide the funding and Credit Assistance for transportation projects across the country. However, the authorizing committees dont consistently get advanced notice from the department of transportation prior to its announcement of grant awards and Credit Assistance for projects. This bill requires the department to give the authorizing committees at least three days advance notice prior to announcing grant awards and Credit Assistance for projects. Its going to improve transparency and enhances oversight of the department by ensuring that congress is properly notified of these announcements. I encourage my colleagues to support this.

When congress enacted the moving ahead for progress, we included a congressional replication requirement for surface transportation grants. Language to require notification was omitted inadvertently when congress enacted the most recent surface transportation authorization act. The fixing americas transportation act, or fast act. The committee on transportation and infrastructure has consistently received notice from d. O. T.

For what purpose does the gentleman from new york seek recognition . Mr. Speaker, i move to suspend the rules and pass h. R. 5944. The speaker pro tempore the clerk will report the title of the bill. The clerk h. R. 5944, a bill to amend title 49 United States code, with respect to certain grant assurances and for other purposes. The speaker pro tempore pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from new york, mr. Zeldin, and the gentleman from indiana, mr. Carson, each will control 20 minutes. The chair recognizes the gentleman from new york. Mr. Zeldin mr. Speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on h. R. 5944. The speaker pro tempore weck. Mr. Zeldin thank you, mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as i the speaker pro tempore without objection. Mr. Zeldin thank you, mr. Speaker. I yield myself as much time as i may consume. I rise in support of h. R. 5944 this bill will ensure regulatory consistency and stability for airports that are colobalingted colocated with Air National Guard or air force bases. In recent years, several Air National Guard units have had their manned Aircraft Mission replaced with an unmanned Aircraft Mission. For some of these units, the Unmanned Aircraft are remotely operated from the guard facilities, but not located at the airport. Since in some instances the Unmanned Aircraft do not lands at the airport from which theyre being operated, theres concern that the nominal leases these units have long enjoyed may no longer be permitted by the federal aviation administration. This bill ensures that an airports simple renewal of a nominal rate lease with an Air National Guard unit that operates aircraft remotely or otherwise does not result in the airport losing its federal Grant Funding. The bill in no way prohibits airports from negotiating new lease terms with Air National Guard units, but it ensures that should an airport and an Air National Guard unit agree to renew a nominal rate lease, they may do so. Mr. Speaker, in this time of transition for our military aviation, this bill allows airports and the department of defense sufficient flexibility to rebalance and adjust the missions of Air National Guard units without jeopardizing airports f. A. A. Grants. This bill provides that flexibility while preserving the right of airports to renew leases that it bleefpk it believes are in the best interest of the airports and surrounding communities. With that i urge my colleagues to support h. R. 5944 and i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. The gentleman from indiana is recognized. Mr. Carson mr. Speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Carson mr. Speaker, i support this bill as well, which will allow our nations military to continue leasing space at airports at nominal rates. Current law requires that airports agree to certain conditions to receive federal airport grants. One of these requirements is for an airport to generate revenue that sustains most, if not all, of the airports operations. If airports continue to renew leases under which tenants of airport property pay discounted rates, they could violate their grant assurances and put their federal airport funding in jeopardy. This bill allows airports to continue offering the low market rates to military tenants. I have no objection to this bill. However, i would like to note that our nations Airport Infrastructure far exceed the federal funding available. I regret that we are not here discussing some accompanying language that would increase airports ability to generate revenue, such as through the passenger facility charge or an increase in funding for the airport improvement program. Im very pleased this bill is narrowly tailored to accommodate the Important Missions of the National Guard and the u. S. Air force, as well as to protect the needs of airports. Mr. Speaker, i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. The gentleman from new york is recognized. Mr. Zeldin mr. Speaker, i wish to yield 2 1
