                                    S.  571
                            Pilot's Bill of Rights 2

    As reported by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
                               on December 9, 2015


The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which regulates civil aviation, is responsible
for issuing certain credentials that pilots must obtain in order to operate aircraft. S. 571
would direct the FAA to revise a variety of requirements, particularly related to medical
certifications for recreational pilots. The bill also would specify certain changes to the
agency's administrative procedures and require various reports related to pilot
certification.

Based on information from the FAA, CBO estimates that enacting S. 571 would not
significantly affect the federal budget. We estimate that any increase in the agency's
administrative costs under the bill, which would be subject to appropriation, would not
exceed $500,000 annually.

Enacting S. 571 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting S. 571 would not increase net direct
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in
2026.

S. 571 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded  Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Megan Carroll. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
