President Bush Executive Order Pushes NextGen To Obama

Source : Av Web

"With a Nov. 18 executive order published Thursday, President George W. Bush has dictated policy designed to drive "effective implementation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen)" and sets its first deadline "not later than 60 days after the date of this order," or roughly when President-elect Barack Obama takes office. (That point is not lost on AOPA.) The 60-day deadline is for establishment of a DOT support staff. It is followed 120 days later by a second deadline that dictates establishment of an advisory committee to provide advice concerning implementation of policy to the Secretary of Transportation."
