Q-13: Based on the July 2, 2025 Department of Transportation letter, if an active grant contains requirements relating to Executive Order (EOs) as defined by the letter, will FAA enforce compliance with those EOs?
No. In accordance with Secretary Duffy’s July 2nd letter, where and as consistent with law, FAA will not enforce compliance with any EO which was issued between January 20, 2021 and January 20, 2025 that references or relates in any way to climate change, “greenhouse gas” emissions, racial equality, gender identity, “diversity, equity, and inclusion” goals, environmental justice, or the Justice 40 Initiative.
