Operators of certificated airports are
permitted to choose the methodology to
report information and can design their
own recordkeeping system. As airports

allows airport operators greater
flexibility and convenience to comply
with reporting and recordkeeping
requirements. 100% of the information

The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024,
Sec. 762 requires the FAA to provide a
progress report on the national

days after the date of enactment of this
Act, and every 180 days thereafter until
the progress report termination date.

firefighting foam at each part 139 airport
as of the date of the submission of the
progress report, including the amount of
such firefighting foam held in
firefighting equipment and the number
of gallons regularly kept in reserve at
each such airports. In order to provide
congress an accurate accounting to
AFFF, the FAA must contact all 517
