The proposed corporation would be governed by a 13-member board of directors composed of individuals representing certain aviation stakeholder groups. To finance the costs of providing air traffic services, the bill would authorize the corporation to charge fees to users of such services and to issue debt. The Secretary of Transportation would manage and oversee the transition of operational control over air traffic services to the proposed corporation, which would occur on October 1, 2020. Until that time, the bill would authorize appropriations for the FAA to continue to operate, maintain, and modernize the air traffic control system and carry out the agency's other traditional responsibilities related to civil aviation. After the proposed transition of all air traffic control-related personnel and programs to the AANS Corporation, the bill would authorize additional appropriations for FAA and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to continue to meet traditional aviation-related responsibilities, such as performing certain regulatory and safety-related activities, making grants to airports to support capital projects, and subsidizing air service to certain rural communities. H.R. 2997 would make other significant changes to account for the proposed transition of ATC-related functions to the proposed corporation. Starting in 2021, when the AANS Corporation would begin to levy fees on users of ATC services, title VIII of the bill would reduce the rates of certain aviation-related excise taxes that those entities currently pay to support federal appropriations to the FAA. Also in 2021, the bill would require the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to reduce statutory limits on overall amounts of discretionary funding to account for the portion of ATC-related spending that would be shifted from the FAA to the corporation.
