S. 3700 would require the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish an advisory committee that would evaluate and recommend FAA policies related to safety management systems. The committee would consist of members from federal agencies, labor organizations, industry experts, and other related groups. The bill also would require the agency to report to the Congress on efforts to address recommendations from the advisory committee.
Based on the cost of similar advisory groups and reports, CBO estimates that implementing S. 3700 would cost $1 million over the 2026-2031 period. Any related spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Aaron Krupkin. The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
