Possible Shutdown Will Impact Federal Agency Operations\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As Washington inches closer to a possible Federal government shutdown on September 30, ACMA members should be aware that agencies significantly limit activities during any funding lapse.\u00a0 The Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have released detailed plans for operations in such an event.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n According to its <\/span>Shutdown Plan<\/span><\/a>, DOE will not award grants, contracts, and comparative agreements unless necessary for the direct support of specific excepted activities. <\/span>DOT<\/span><\/a> will continue operations related to civilian air travel and certain certification processes.\u00a0 Activities directly funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act supplemental appropriations will continue.\u00a0 However, DOT would pause certain facility and personnel security inspections, as well as forward looking activities such as operations planning and capital planning for FAA facilities and equipment.
