                                 The Honorable Glenn M. 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.
