On behalf of the 450 members of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), we write to share our strong support for H.R. 3935, the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act and express our gratitude for advancing this crucial piece of legislation. We are delighted to see bi-partisan support for reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and endorsing aviation safety and infrastructure programs for the upcoming five years. The aggregates industry is fully prepared to provide the necessary raw materials to successfully execute multiple construction projects and looks forward to having a hand in revitalizing our nation’s aviation infrastructure. NSSGA represents the aggregates and industrial sand industry of our country, with over 9,000 facilities and more than 100,000 employees in high-paying jobs. The aggregates industry produces 100 percent of the material for the airfield pavement foundations; 95 percent of the raw material in asphalt concrete overlays; and 70-85 percent of the cement concrete overlays, making aggregates the number one material used in our aviation infrastructure. As H.R. 3935 crosses the finish line, our members will waste no time in working alongside the FAA in supplying the raw materials needed to enhance our nation’s runways.
