After Frisco crash, Colorado lawmakers call for increased helicopter safety Content originally published by Summit Daily on February 17th, 2016. With recent concerns regarding crash-resistant helicopter fuel systems, Rep. Jared Polis, a democrat whose district includes Summit County, is pushing to close a legal loophole allowing helicopters to be manufactured without crash-resistant systems. After writing a letter urging the Federal Aviation Administration to more quickly revise safety standards in October, Reps. Polis (CO-02) and Ed Perlmutter (CO-07) took matters further. On Friday, they introduced a bill that would require the FAA to finalize a rulemaking by Dec. 31, requiring that all newly manufactured helicopters be built with crash-resistant fuel systems. “The FAA’s dangerous, antiquated safety loophole has already cost far too many lives,” Polis said in a statement. “Last summer’s tragic Flight For Life crash in Frisco highlights the urgent need for action. The technology exists to prevent these tragedies, and |
Feds scrap plans to open center for migrant kids in Lakewood Content originally published by The Denver Post on February 12th, 2016. WASHINGTON — In a surprise reversal, federal officials said Friday that the Obama administration no longer plans to open a 1,000-bed facility for migrant children at the Federal Center in Lakewood. The change comes less than two months after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced it wanted to convert a warehouse at the Federal Center into a temporary home for children who enter the country illegally. The idea was to open the facility by April, but HHS officials said a preliminary assessment of the warehouse revealed that renovations would take a year to complete and that it would cost between $28 million and $37 million. Instead, HHS — which already manages more than 100 child migrant centers in 12 states — plans to look at other locations to deal with a new wave of child migrants."The price tag and time line associated with the renovations necessary |
Plans for Colorado Shelter for Immigrant Children Scrapped Content originally published by the Associated Press on February 12th, 2016. Denver (AP) -- The federal government is abandoning plans to open a temporary shelter for unaccompanied immigrant children in suburban Denver, saying it would take too much time and money to get the site ready. An assessment by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found that it would cost an estimated $28 million to $37 million and take about a year to transform a warehouse at the sprawling Federal Center in Lakewood, Colorado into a shelter for up to 1,000 children, spokeswoman Andrea Helling said. The department wants to be ready to handle an expected surge in Central American children crossing the border starting this spring. It's already opened temporary shelters at Holloman Air Force in New Mexico and near Dallas, and is set to open another one in late February in Homestead, Florida. The agency is looking at other sites, both federally owned and private property, to house |
Perlmutter, Polis Introduce Bill to Update Safety Standards for Crash Resistant Helicopter Fuel Systems Perlmutter, Polis Introduce Bill to Update Safety Standards for Crash Resistant Helicopter Fuel Systems Bill requires FAA to expedite rulemaking and finalize by December 31, 2016 WASHINGTON, DC– Today, U.S. Reps. Ed Perlmutter (CO-07) and Jared Polis (CO-02) introduced the Helicopter Fuel System Safety Act to require the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to finalize a rulemaking by December 31, 2016 requiring all newly manufactured helicopters to be built with crash resistant fuel systems. The December 31st deadline set forth in the bill mandates a more expedited process than the two and a half years or more outlined by the FAA’s Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC). On November 5, 2015, the FAA tasked ARAC with evaluating potential changes to helicopter safety regulations – a process which starts with a cost-benefit analysis expected in May, followed by 18-months of study, which then will be followed by the rulemaking which could likely take anot |
