Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall establish a task force comprised of representatives of the general aviation industry who regularly perform part 91 operations, labor unions (including those representing FAA aviation safety inspectors and FAA aviation safety engineers), manufacturers, and the Government to— conduct an assessment of the FAA oversight and authorization processes and requirements for aircraft under part 91; and make recommendations to streamline the applicable authorization and approval processes, improve safety, and reduce regulatory cost burdens and delays for the FAA and aircraft owners and operators who operate pursuant to part 91.

In conducting the assessment and making recommendations under subsection (a), the task force shall consider— process reforms and improvements to allow the FAA to review and approve applications in a fair and timely fashion; the appropriateness of requiring an authorization for each experimental aircraft rather than using a broader all-makes-and-models approach; ways to improve the timely response to letters of authorization applications for aircraft owners and operators who operate pursuant to part 91, including setting deadlines and granting temporary or automatic authorizations if deadlines are missed by the FAA; methods for enhancing the effective use of delegation systems; methods for training the FAA’s field office employees in risk-based and safety management system oversight; and such other matters related to streamlining part 91 authorization and approval processes as the task force considers appropriate.

Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a report on the results of the task force’s assessment. The report shall include an explanation of how the Administrator will— implement the recommendations of the task force; measure progress in implementing the recommendations; and measure the effectiveness of the implemented recommendations. Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall implement the recommendations made under this section.

In this section, the term part 91 means part 91 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations. Public Law 92–463 shall not apply to the task force. The task force shall terminate on the day the Administrator submits the report required under subsection (c).
