 <title>Commercial Aviation: Programs and Options for Providing Air Service to Small Communities</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>Congress established two key programs to help support air service
to small communities--the Essential Air Service (EAS) providing  
about $100 million in subsidies per year and the Small Community 
Air Service Development Program (SCASDP) that provides about $20 
million per year in grants. As part of its reauthorization of the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Congress is examining 
the status and outcomes of these programs. This testimony	 
discusses (1) the history and challenges of the EAS program, (2) 
the implementation and outcomes of the SCASDP and (3) options for
reforming EAS and SCASDP. The testimony is based on previous GAO 
reports, interviews with Department of Transportation officials  
and industry representatives as well as program updates.</abstract>
