NOTICE FOR POTENTIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN ON NOVEMBER 17
November 3, 2023
U.S. government funding is due to expire on November 17th and a partial shutdown of many federal services could begin the following day if lawmakers do not act to approve a long term funding plan for the government. While a shutdown is unlikely to impact those employees that are considered essential (e.g., air traffic controllers, safety inspectors, security agents and customs officials), this date is important to note from a planning perspective. This is because numerous key government stakeholders who oversee important functions such as licensing will likely be unreachable during a shutdown. To the extent you are aware of any upcoming operation or application that may require approval by, for instance, DOT or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), we would encourage you to let us know as soon as possible so that appropriate actions can be taken prior to November 17th.
