The Office of Aviation, Policy, Planning, and Environment (AEP) provides critical support to the Administrator and FAA organizations in two major program areas: (1) Planning and policy development (2) Environment and energy programs development and management AEP's focus in these program areas includes internal, domestic, and international aspects. Internally, AEP staffs the Administrator on policy issues. In addition, AEP is the focal point for all agency strategic and business planning, and staffs two Congressionally-mandated agency oversight bodies: the Management Advisory Council and Air Traffic Services Committee. Domestically, AEP forecasts future aviation demand, compiles and publishes data on air traffic activity and other aviation statistics, and reviews airport-sponsored benefit-cost analyses related to expenditure of Airport Improvement Program funds and competition plans. The office performs cost-benefit analyses of all proposed FAA regulations. AEP also prepares reports to Congress on economic, environmental and regulatory issues, and manages facilities environmental programs. AEP researches and analyzes FAA finances, taxes, airport and airway trust funds, and cost allocation. This work leads into AEP's responsibility to manage and staff the FAA reauthorization process to include both funding and programmatic. AEP also leads development of agency initiatives to address system congestion. Internationally, AEP represents the United States at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and several other international venues. AEP leads U.S. work with the international community to establish guidance material on aviation economics issues, and in setting global aircraft noise and engine emissions standards.
