          The Honorable Jerry F. Costello
          Chairman
          Subcommittee on Aviation
          Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
          House of Representatives

          Subject: Responses to Questions for the Record; Hearing on the Future of Air Traffic
          Control Modernization

          Dear Chairman Costello:

          This letter responds to your May 10, 2007, request that we address questions submitted for
          the record related to the May 9, 2007, hearing entitled The Future ofAir Traffic Control
          Modernization. Our answers to your questions are attached. Our responses are based on
          our previous work,' preliminary results of 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 letter to the Administrator, Federal Aviation Administration,
          and the Director, Joint Planning and Development Office. We will make copies available to
          others on request. This letter is also available on GAO's Web site at w w.gaogov.
