Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Air Traffic Control Workforce Transparency ActThis bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide Congress with information on specific air traffic controller staffing standards and data.Currently, the FAA must submit an annual report to Congress that contains the staffing standards used to determine the number of air traffic controllers needed to operate the U.S. air traffic control system. The bill requires the FAA report to specifically contain the Collaborative Resource Workgroup (CRWG) staffing standards used to determine the number of fully certified air traffic controllers needed. (The CRWG consists of participants from the FAA Air Traffic Organization who work with the National Air Traffic Controllers Association to survey facilities to support validation of or changes to the staffing targets for certified professional controllers.) The bill also directs the FAA to provide Congress with specific information for each FAA-operated air traffic control facility. For example, the FAA must provide information on the current certified professional controllers' staffing levels and the CRWG operational staffing targets for certified professional controllers.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The bill mandates that the FAA's annual report to Congress include the specific Collaborative Resource Workgroup (CRWG) staffing standards used to determine the number of air traffic controllers needed.
It also directs the FAA to provide Congress with detailed information for each air traffic control facility, such as current certified professional controller staffing levels and CRWG operational staffing targets.
The goal is to give Congress and the public a clearer picture of air traffic controller staffing needs and whether facilities are meeting those needs.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

This bill would primarily impact the FAA and members of Congress who oversee the agency's operations. By providing more granular staffing data, it could help lawmakers better understand and address any air traffic controller shortages or staffing issues at specific facilities.
