Summary

FAA Research, Engineering, and Development Authorization Act of 1997 - Amends Federal transportation law to authorize appropriations for FY 1998 through 2000 for specified aviation programs. Earmarks the research and development appropriations authorized for the support of all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) research and development activities falling within the categories of basic and applied research and development, including the design and development of prototypes in accordance with specified classifications. Mandates that: (1) the President's annual FAA budget request include all research and development activities within a single budget category; and (2) all FAA activities within the categories of basic and applied research and development be placed within such category. Requires the FAA Administrator's national aviation research plan to highlight the research and development technology transfer activities that promote technology sharing among government, industry, and academia through the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980. Directs the Administrator to establish a program for awarding grants to researchers at primarily undergraduate institutions who involve undergraduate students in their research on subjects of relevance to the FAA. Sets forth criteria for the award of such grants. Authorizes appropriations. Bars the use of funds under this Act for the Next Generation Internet. Prohibits the use of funds for any lobbying activities before the Congress, except for legislation or appropriations necessary for the efficient conduct of the public business. Directs the Administrator to exclude from consideration for a FAA grant any person who received grant funds from a Federal funding source for a project that was not subjected to a competitive, merit-based award procedure. Expresses the sense of the Congress that the FAA should: (1) give priority to correcting all two-digit date-related problems in its computer systems to ensure its continued operation in the year 2000 and beyond; and (2) develop contingency plans for FAA systems it is unable to correct in time.
