This study was a two-year collaborative eflort between the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) Aeronautics Division, the Federal Aviation Administration, Wilbur Smith and Associates and Morrison Maierle Inc. The enclosed study is an effort to break down aviation's significant contributions in Montana and show how these impacts affect economies on a statewide and local level. Depending on your location, you may also find enclosed several copies of an individual economic summary specific to your airport. Results ofthe study clearly show that Montana's 120 public use airports are a major catalyst to our economy. Montana enplanes over 1.5 million prissengers per year at our 15 commercial service airports, half of whom are visiting tourists. The economic value of aviation is over $1.56 billion and contributes nearly 4.5 percent to our total gross state product. There arc 18,759 aviation dependent positions in Montana, accounting for four percent of the total workforce and $600 million in wages. In addition to the economic benefits, the study also highlights how Montana residents increasingly depend on aviation to support their healtþ welfare, and safety. Montana airports support critical services for medical care, agriculture, recreation, emergency access, law enforcement, and fire fighting.

  • GAO-16-115T, SCREENING PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM: Subtitle
    United States Government Accountability Office T estimony Before the Subcommittee on Transportation Security , Committee on Homeland Security, House of Representatives For Release on Delivery Expected at 2:00 p.m. ET Tuesday, November 17, 2015 SCREENING PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM Improved Cost Estimates Can Enhance Program Decision Making Statement of Jennifer Grover, Director, Homeland Security and Justice Accessible Version GAO-16-115T Letter Letter Chairman Katko, Ranking Member Rice, and Members of the Subcommittee I am pleased to be here today to discuss issues related to the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Screening Partnership Program (SPP). TSA, within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is responsible for screening the approximately 1.8 million passengers and their property traveling through our nation’s airports every day to ensure, among other things, that persons do not carry prohibited items into airport sterile areas or on flights.1 In 2004, TSA created the SPP, allowing commercial (i.e., TSA-regulated) airports an opportunity to apply to TSA to have the screening of passengers and property performed by TSA-approved qualified private-screening contractors.2 Contractors perform passenger and baggage screening services at a total of 21 airports across the country, with the most recent airport beginning operations in June 2015.3 At each of the SPP airports, TSA continues to be responsible for overseeing screening operations, and the contractors must adhere to TSA’s security standards, procedures, and requirements. Since the SPP’s inception, congressional committees, industry stakeholders, and TSA have sought to determine how screening costs compare at airports with private and federal (i.e., TSA-employed) screeners, and TSA does produce cost estimates that attempt to predict what it would cost the agency to provide passenger and baggage screening services at airports that have opted out or plan to opt out of federal screening.

  • Kiggins Theater Clark County, Washington
    NPS Form 10-900a OMB No. 1024-0018 (Rev. 8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet – KIGGINS THEATER CLARK COUNTY, WASHINGTON Section number 8 Page 1of 13 Statement of Significance The Kiggins Theater, located on Main Street in Vancouver’s City Center, is eligible for listing to the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C (The property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction). The Theater is Vancouver’s, and Southwest Washington’s, finest example of art deco and streamlined moderne architecture. The period of significance is 1936, when the theater opened. Art deco is known primarily for its use of early modern ornamentation. The Streamline Moderne movement is similarly associated with early modernism, but is known for a less decorative approach than art deco, emphasizing instead smooth lines, bands and courses, and a more machine-like approach but with a continued emphasis on aesthetics. Prime examples of art deco design include William Van Alan’s 1924 Chrysler Building, which is topped by concentric bands with radial features, creating a beautiful repetition of form, much like can be seen with the bands of cast concrete which wrap the upper story of the Kiggins theater and which divide, like pilasters, the store-front bays and theater on the western façade. Another fine example of the smooth lines emphasized in these styles is evident in the famous Odoen Theater in London England.
