In Caddell Constr. Co. (Sept. 21, 2009), GAO found unreasonable the agency's determination that a vendor had shown the requisite experience performing services "similar in complexity, type of construction, and value to the project being bid" as required by the Security Act in a provision relating to construction of embassies, when the vendor's submission aggregated a number of smaller projects to equal the value of the construction project at issue. Contrary to the agency's determination, GAO held that the statute's experience requirement anticipates that an offeror has completed at least one construction project of similar value and complexity.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) published a final rule amending 14 CFR Part 234 that fundamentally changes how airlines report the causes of flight delays and cancellations. Effective October 19, 2026, the rule implements Section 511(b) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 by creating a new reporting category, the “Section 511(b) category,” for ten specific events that Congress determined are not attributable to airline control. The rule simultaneously narrows the existing "Air Carrier" reporting category by expressly excluding those same ten events.
