WINGS Act

This bill would let the Secretary of Agriculture give ownership of aircraft and aircraft parts loaned to states and local agencies for firefighting under the Federal Excess Personal Property program to those agencies. An agency could get ownership of an aircraft after holding it for at least 10 years, or of a part after at least 5 years, if it is in good standing with program rules. The Secretary could attach conditions for up to 5 years after transfer, such as keeping the aircraft in public use and not selling it without permission. The Secretary would have to decide on complete applications within 180 days and issue rules within 18 months.
