NATA Position NATA is pleased that the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate included transportation funding as one of the few appropriations bills approved for fiscal year 2012 so far this year. Funding for federal aviation programs is critical to the FAA’s mission of providing a safe national aviation system. Under the federal government’s tight budget constraints, the FAA received a fair funding allocation.
