Major provisions of H.R. 658 would:
    --Reauthorize programs administered by the Federal Aviation Administration;
    --Extend and modify certain aviation-related revenues;
    --Rescind $44 billion in unobligated balances of discretionary budget authority (thereby reducing outlays by an estimated $22 billion over the 2011-2020 period).
Note: For this estimate, CBO assumes H.R. 658 will be enacted by June 1, 2011.
