In February 2004, FAA established the Air Traffic Organization (ATO) to take over its entire Air Traffic operations and established cost control as a major focus. GAO was asked to determine: (1) What is ATO's financial outlook for its operations? (2) To what extent is ATO taking actions to control its operating costs? (3) What are some options ATO should consider in developing its cost control strategy? https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-724/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-724.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-724/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-724.pdf GAO-05-724 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-724 Other Written Product GAO-05-724; Air Traffic Operations: The Federal Aviation Administration Needs to Address Major Air Traffic Operating Cost Control Changes; Air traffic control systems Cost control Financial analysis Financial management Future budget projections Internal controls Strategic planning Budget deficit Policy evaluation General management reviews Airport and Airway Trust Fund Public Law 106-181 Public Law 108-176
