IAFF Status Update on FAA Reauthorization
March 8, 2010 – The United States Senate is expected to consider S. 1451, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act, in March 2010. S. 1451 is the Senate version of FAA Reauthorization bill H.R. 915, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives in 2009. Unlike the House-passed bill, S. 1451 does not contain IAFF-backed language requiring the FAA to bring Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) standards into conformity with existing national consensus standards.

The ARFF Data Base Project was developed in Memphis, and has been a two year project following a NTSB safety recommendation. The Data Base allows Incident Commanders to quickly obtain important information including A/C charts, Haz-Mat, references, and contact Information. The ARFF Training Project was developed in Denver, focusing on the 139 recommended training categories. The project allows departments of all size, the opportunity to participate, populate, and administrator training. Both Project are expected to be implemented early 2010 and will be available at no cost to current members. |
