The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation held a hearing on May 14, 2025, to review the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, marking the one-year anniversary of the law's enactment. This bipartisan legislation reauthorized the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and aviation infrastructure and safety programs for the next five years. The hearing provided updates on the status of various provisions of the law, including investments in aviation safety and airport infrastructure. Key provisions such as the 1,500-hour pilot training standard remain intact, a measure supported by families affected by Flight 3407. The hearing emphasized the importance of maintaining the safety of the flying public and highlighted the collaborative effort between political parties to improve aviation safety. Concurrently, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chairman Andrew Ferguson testified before the House Appropriations Committee and the House Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee on agency oversight and budget matters. Discussions included the FTC’s role in maintaining a fair marketplace, plans to reduce workforce size, restore fiscal health, and eliminate regulations perceived to stifle competition. Lawmakers from both parties underscored the importance of the FTC's evolving approach to fostering economic growth while ensuring consumer protection.
