          The Honorable Mark Udall
          Chairman
          Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics
          Committee on Science and Technology
          House of Representatives

          Subject: Responses to Questions for the Record; Hearing on JPDO and the Next Generation
          Air Transportation System: Status and Issues

          Dear Chairman Udall:

          This letter responds to your April 24, 2007, request that we address questions submitted for
          the record by Members of the Subcommittee related to the March 29, 2007, hearing entitled
          JPDO and the Next Generation Air Transportation System: Status and Issues. As agreed
          with your Office, in addition to the responses that we provided on May 18, 2007, to two of the
          questions you submitted regarding the role of JPDO, we are answering the remaining
          questions submitted by you and by Representative Calvert on behalf of the Minority Members
          of the Committee. Our attached responses to these questions are based on our previous and
          ongoing work and our knowledge of the areas addressed by the questions. We prepared our
          responses during May 2007 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing
          standards. Because our responses are based on our previously issued products' for which we
          sought and incorporated agency comments, as well as updates that we obtained through
          interviewing FAA officials and reviewing their documentation, we did not seek agency
          comments on our responses to these questions.

          We are sending copies of this report to the Administrator, Federal Aviation Administration,
          and the Director, Joint Planning and Development Office. We will make copies available to
          others on request. The report is also available on GAO's Web site at wwgao-ov.
