S. 516 would require the Department of Transportation (DOT) to establish an interagency
working group on advanced air mobility (AAM) consisting of representatives from at least
10 federal agencies.1 The working group would evaluate the policies and infrastructure
necessary to advance AAM operations, coordinate with state and local governments and the
private sector, develop an AAM national strategy, and report to the Congress. Within 30
days of issuing that report, DOT would determine whether to continue or terminate the
working group. In addition, the bill would require the Government Accountability Office to
report on the authority of various levels of government over AAM operations.
Using information from DOT and based on the cost of similar activities, CBO estimates that
implementing S. 516 would cost $1 million over the 2021-2026 period; such spending would
be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Aaron Krupkin. The estimate was reviewed by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
1. Advanced air mobility refers to the development and implementation of innovative aviation technologies that use
existing airspace operations to transport people and cargo, such as electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and
autonomous aircraft.
