14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–24 Edition) 

§ 151.15 

(2) In-runway lighting is required as 

part of a project: 

(i) If the project includes: 
(

a

) Construction of a new runway 

designated by the FAA as an instru-
ment landing runway for which the in-
stallation of an IFR precision approach 
system including ALS and ILS, has 
been programmed by the FAA with 
funds then available therefor; 

(

b

) An extension of 3,000 feet or more 

(usable for landing purposes) of the ap-
proach end of a designated instrument 
landing runway equipped, or programed 
by the FAA, with funds then available 
therefor, to be equipped, with an IFR 
precision approach system including 
ALS and ILS; 

(

c

) Reconstruction of a designated in-

strument landing runway equipped, or 
programed by the FAA, with funds 
then available therefor, to be equipped 
with an IFR precision approach system 
including ALS and ILS, if the recon-
struction requires the closing of the 
runway; or 

(

d

) Any other airport development on 

an airport whose designated instru-
ment landing runway is equipped, or 
programed by the FAA, with funds 
then available therefor, to be equipped 
with an IFR precision approach system 
including ALS and ILS; and 

(ii) Only if a study of the airport 

shows that in-runway lighting is re-
quired for the safe and efficient use of 
the airport by aircraft, after the Ad-
ministrator considers the following: 

(

a

) The type and volume of flight ac-

tivity; 

(

b

) Other existing or planned naviga-

tional aids; 

(

c

) Airport environmental factors 

such as local weather conditions and 
adjacent geographic profiles; 

(

d

) Approach and departure paths; 

(

e

) Effect on landing and takeoff 

minima; and 

(

f

) In the case of projects under para-

graph (b)(2)(i)(

d

) of this section, wheth-

er installing in-runway lighting re-
quires closing the runway for so long a 
time that the adverse effect on safety 
of its closing would outweigh the con-
tribution to safety that would be 
gained by the in-runway lights or 
whether it would unduly interfere with 
the efficiency of aircraft operations. 

(3) High intensity runway edge light-

ing on the designated instrument land-
ing runway is required as a part of a 
project whenever that runway is 
equipped or programmed for the instal-
lation of an ILS and high intensity 
runway edge lights are not then in-
stalled on the runway or included in 
another project. A project for extend-
ing a runway that has high intensity 
runway edge lights on the existing run-
way requires, as a part of the project, 
the extension of the high intensity run-
way edge lights. 

(4) Runway distance markers whose 

design standards have been approved 
and published by the FAA are required 
as a part of a project on a case-by-case 
basis if, after reviewing the pertinent 
facts and circumstances of the case, 
the Administrator determines that 
they are needed for the safe and effi-
cient use of the airport by aircraft.

§ 151.15 Federal-aid Airport Program: 

Policy affecting runway or taxiway 

remarking. 

No project for developing or improv-

ing an airport may be approved for the 
Program unless it provides for runway 
or taxiway remarking if the present 
marking is obliterated by construction, 
alteration or repair work included in a 
FAAP project or by the required rout-
ing of construction equipment used 
therein.

§ 151.21 Procedures: Application; gen-

eral information. 

(a) An eligible sponsor that desires to 

obtain Federal aid for eligible airport 
development must submit to the Area 
Manager of the area in which the spon-
sor is located (hereinafter in this part 
referred to as the ‘‘Area Manager’’), a 

691 

Federal Aviation Administration, DOT 

§ 151.24 

request on FAA Form 5100–3, accom-
panied by— 

(1) The sponsor’s written statement 

as to whether the proposed project in-
volves the displacement and relocation 
of persons residing on land physically 
acquired or to be acquired for the 
project development; and 

(2) The sponsor’s written assurance, 

if the project involves displacement 
and relocation of such persons, that 
adequate replacement housing will be 
available or provided for (built, if nec-
essary), without regard to their race, 
color, religion, sex, or national origin, 
before the execution of a grant agree-
ment for the project. 

(b) A proposed project is selected for 

inclusion in a program only if the spon-
sor has submitted a written assurance 
when required by paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section, or if the Administrator 
has determined that the project does 
not involve the displacement and relo-
cation of persons residing on land to be 
physically acquired or to be acquired 
for the project development. If the Ad-
ministrator selects a proposed project 
for inclusion in a program, a tentative 
allocation of funds is made for it and 
the sponsor is notified of the alloca-
tion. The tentative allocation may be 
withdrawn if the sponsor fails to sub-
mit an acceptable project application 
as provided in paragraph (c) of this sec-
tion or fails to proceed diligently with 
the project, or if adequate replacement 
housing is not available or provided for 
in accordance with a written assurance 
when required by paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section. 

(c) As soon as practicable after re-

ceiving notice of the tentative alloca-
tion, the sponsor must submit a project 
application on FAA Form 1624 to the 
Area Manager, without changing the 
language of the form, unless the 
change is approved in advance by the 
Administrator. In the case of a joint 
project, each sponsor executes only 
those provisions of the project applica-
tion that apply to it. A sponsor who 
has executed a grant agreement for a 
project for the development of an air-
port under the Program, may, in the 
Administrator’s discretion, submit ad-
ditional project applications on FAA 

Form 1624 for further development of 
that airport.

Transportation; Federal Airport Act, as

§ 151.23 Procedures: Application; fund-

ing information. 

Each sponsor must state in its appli-

cation that it has on hand, or show 
that it can obtain as needed, funds to 
pay all estimated costs of the proposed 
project that are not borne by the 
United States or by another sponsor. If 
any of the funds are to be furnished to 
a sponsor, or used to pay project costs 
on behalf of a sponsor, by a State agen-
cy or any other public agency that is 
not a sponsor of the project, that agen-
cy may, instead of the sponsor, submit 
evidence that the funds will be pro-
vided if the project is approved.

amended by Amdt. 151–34, 34 FR 12883, Aug. 8, 
1969] 

§ 151.24 Procedures: Application; infor-

mation on estimated project costs. 

(a) If any part of the estimated 

project costs consists of the value of 
donated land, labor, materials, or 
equipment, or of the value of a prop-
erty interest in land acquired at a cost 
that (as represented by the sponsor) is 
not the actual cost or the amount of an 
award in eminent domain proceedings, 
the sponsor must so state in the appli-
cation, indicating the nature of the do-
nation or other transaction and the 
value it places on it. 

(b) If, after the grant agreement is 

executed and before the final payment 
of the allowable project costs is made 
under § 151.63, it appears that the spon-
sor inadvertently or unknowingly 
failed to comply with paragraph (a) of 
this section as to any item, the Admin-
istrator— 

(1) Makes or obtains an appraisal of 

the item, and if the appraised value is 
less than the value placed on the item 
in the project application, notifies the 
sponsor that it may, within a stated
