April 29 (Reuters) - U.S. House Republicans are

proposing $15 billion in new funding for air traffic control

reform and a new $200 fee on electric cars as part of wide-range

tax reform bill under consideration.

The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on

Wednesday will take up the proposal Wednesday that includes new

funding through 2029 for replacing aging facilities including

air traffic control towers, radar systems and telecommunications

infrastructure and systems replacement as well as $1 billion

for air traffic control hiring.

The bill also proposes a new $200 electric vehicle fee

because most revenue for federally funded road repairs is

collected through diesel and gasoline taxes, which EVs do not

pay. The bill would also propose a $100 fee on hybrids and $20

federal annual registration on all vehicles starting in 2031.
