In the case of surface\ntransportation, congressional authorizing and tax committees have been unable to reach final\nagreement on the details of a multi-year reauthorization bill. For aviation it is not clear that\nconference agreed upon legislation ( H.R. 2115 ) will be brought before either the House\nor the Senate before October 1st and may be reconsidered at a later date. In order to keep certain\nfederal transportation programs operating at least a short-term reauthorization is required. Extension\nlegislation has been enacted in the past. As this report shows, extension legislation is not a regular\nfeature of the surface transportation reauthorization cycle. In the last decade, however, it has become\na common feature of the aviation reauthorization cycle.
