Directs the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to submit to the Congress a ten-year Airway Capital Investment Plan (currently, a national airways system plan). Authorizes appropriations for air navigation facilities. Authorizes appropriations for the general operations of the FAA. Repeals for FY 1991 and 1992 a specified reduction of the maximum amount which may be appropriated from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund for costs: (1) of services provided under international agreements relating to the joint financing of air navigation services which are assessed against the United States; and (2) incurred by the Secretary of Transportation to flight check, operate, and maintain air navigation facilities. Sets forth a formula for a higher ceiling on appropriations to cover such costs. Authorizes appropriations for the costs incurred by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in providing the FAA with weather reporting services. Amends the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 to authorize the Secretary of Transportation to grant a public agency which controls a commercial service airport the authority to assess a fee for enplaning passengers at such airport to finance airport-related projects. Sets forth requirements with respect to the use and imposition of such fee. Amends the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 to reduce by a specified percentage airport improvement program apportionments for large and medium hub airports that impose a passenger facility charge. Earmarks a specified percentage of funds saved by such reduction for: (1) a specified discretionary fund; and (2) the establishment of a small airport fund to be distributed at the discretion of the Secretary. Redefines "eligible point" for the small community air service program.

With particular regard to the procurement of facilities and equipment, U.S.-made steel and manufactured products also would not have to be used if the cost of U.S.-made components is more than 60% of the costs of all components of the facility or equipment, or if final assembly of the facility or equipment is done in the United States. The amendment would require the Transportation Department to declare any person who makes fraudulent use of a "Made-in-America" label ineligible to receive federal contracts or grants in conjunction with the projects authorized by the bill for a period of 3-5 years and prohibit the award of contracts or subcontracts for these projects to firms based in, or incorporated under the laws of, any country that maintains a "significant and persistant pattern or practice of discrimination" against U.S. products or services in its government procurement, where this discrimination results in identifiable harm to U.S. businesses.
