Recently, in a victory for the people of Kentucky and sound trade policy, the Senate included my amendment to streamline the layover of goods at the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act (H.R. 3935).
My amendment recognizes the pivotal role of CVG, one of the largest airports in cargo volume, by beginning the process of adding it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) list of Designated Ports. This designation authorizes CVG to directly process shipments of wildlife and wildlife-derived products, eliminating logistical nightmares, significantly reducing costs, and creating job opportunities for the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
