APL is FAA's policy office for broad-based, novel, and crosscutting policy initiatives. The office works to identify, develop, and resolve policy issues related to increased safety, greater capacity, maintaining international leadership, and sustainability of the global and domestic civil aerospace system in an environmentally sound manner. This work requires outreach to domestic and international customers and stakeholders, extensive research and development efforts, data collection and analysis, economic analysis, and policy development. It also provides leadership to the agency's strategic policy and planning efforts, coordinates the agency's reauthorization before Congress, and is responsible for national aviation policies and strategies in the environment and energy arenas, including aviation activity forecasts, economic analyses, aircraft noise and emissions analyses and mitigation, environmental policy, and aviation insurance. The FAA through the Office of Policy, International Affairs, and Environment participates in international standards setting and harmonization activities in aviation transportation around the globe and engages in implementing programs that provide technical assistance for capacity building to developing countries. We are engaged in advancing U.S. transportation policy and advocating worldwide adoption of harmonized standards and global technical regulations (GTR) through participation in bilateral and regional forums or international organizations at the ministerial and working levels. APL supports the Department of Transportation's (DOT) goals of Economic Competitiveness and Environmental Sustainability through multiple programs and projects designed to reduce aircraft noise and aviation emissions, minimize their impacts as well as increase fuel efficiency and to foster the continued development of competent civil aviation authorities worldwide to meet international standards. APL provides U.S. leadership on reducing global aviation's carbon footprint and working with the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) and international partners exploring options for a new carbon dioxide emissions standard for aircraft. As more Americans travel worldwide, the development of competent civil aviation authorities has become a cornerstone for providing technical assistance, building capacity and transferring technologies for public benefit.
