Anderson Chairman, Committee on Public Works and Transportation House of Representatives The Honorable Norman Y. Mineta Chairman, Subcommittee on Surface Transportation Committee on Public Works and Transportation House of Representatives The Honorable James L. Oberstar Chairman, Subcommittee on Aviation Committee on Public Works and Transportation House of Representatives As requested, we are providing information on the status of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) West Coast Plan and related environ- mental and management issues. The Plan is a major effort to increase airspace capacity, reduce flight delays, and enhance air safety in the western United States. Specifically, we are providing information on changes in procedures and air routes FAA is contemplating, the time period over which FAA expects to implement the West Coast Plan, and the cost of these changes; FAA's plans to involve the public in any changes it proposes and the sta- tus and/or results of any environmental assessments FAA has made or is making related to new air routes on the West Coast; the status of FAA's discussions with the Department of Defense (DOD) for new routes and flight procedures through airspace assigned to the mili- tary; and the effectiveness of FAA'S overall management of its West Coast Plan. Results in Brief For the 10 projects comprising FAA's West Coast Plan, we found the following: FAA has completed three projects and plans to implement the other seven by late 1994. As the projects are completed, FAA expects to make some air route changes, particularly after 1994, when final improvements to Los Angeles airspace have been completed.
