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

§ 151.25 Procedures: Application; infor-

mation as to property interests. 

(a) Each sponsor must state in its ap-

plication all of the property interests 
that he holds in the lands to be devel-
oped or used as part of, or in connec-
tion with, the airport as it will be when 
the project is completed. Each project 
application contains a covenant on the 
part of the sponsor to acquire, before 
starting construction work, or within a 
reasonable time if not needed for the 
construction, property interests satis-
factory to the Administrator in all the 
lands in which it does not hold those 
property interests at the time it sub-
mits the application. In the case of a 
joint project, any one or more of the 
sponsors may hold or acquire the nec-
essary property interests. In such a 
case, each sponsor may show on its ap-
plication only those property interests 
that it holds or is to acquire. 

(b) Each sponsor of a project must 

send with its application a property 
map (designated as Exhibit A) or incor-
porate such a map by reference to one 
in a previous application that was ap-
proved. The sponsor must clearly iden-
tify on the map all property interests 
required in paragraph (a) of this sec-
tion, showing prior and proposed acqui-
sitions for which United States aid is 
requested under the project. 

(c) For the purposes of paragraphs (a) 

and (b) of this section, the property in-
terest that the sponsor must have or 
agree to obtain, is— 

(1) Title free and clear of any rever-

sionary interest, lien, easement, lease, 
or other encumbrance that, in the 
opinion of the Administrator, would 
create an undue risk that it might de-
prive the sponsor of possession or con-
trol, interfere with its use for public 
airport purposes, or make it impossible 
for the sponsor to carry out the agree-
ments and covenants in the applica-
tion; 

(2) A lease of not less than 20 years 

granted to the sponsor by another pub-
lic agency that has title as described in 
paragraph (c)(1) of this section, on 
terms that the Administrator considers 
satisfactory; or 

(3) In the case of an offsite area an 

agreement, easement, leasehold, or 
other right or property interest that, 
in the Administrator’s opinion, pro-
vides reasonable assurance that the 
sponsor will not be deprived of its right 
to use the land for the intended pur-
pose during the period necessary to 
meet the requirements of the grant 
agreement. 

(d) For the purposes of this section, 

the word ‘‘land’’ includes landing 
areas, building areas, runway clear 
zones, clearways and approach zones, 
and areas required for offsite construc-
tion, entrance roads, drainage, protec-
tion of approaches, installation of air 
navigation facilities, or other airport 
purposes. 

§ 151.26 Procedures: Applications; 

compatible land use information; 

consideration of local community 

interest; relocation of displaced 

persons. 

(a) Each sponsor must state in its ap-

plication the action that it has taken 
to restrict the use of land adjacent to 
or in the immediate vicinity of the air-
port to activities and purposes compat-
ible with normal airport operations in-
cluding landing and take-off of air-
craft. The sponsor’s statement must in-
clude information on— 

(1) Any property interests (such as 

airspace easements or title to airspace) 
acquired by the sponsor to assure com-
patible land use, or to protect or con-
trol aerial approaches; 

(2) Any zoning laws enacted or in 

force restricting the use of land adja-
cent to or in the vicinity of the airport, 
or assuring protection or control of 
aerial approaches, whether or not en-
acted by the sponsor; and 

(3) Any action taken by the sponsor 

to induce the appropriate government 
authority to enact zoning laws re-
stricting the use of land adjacent to or 
in the vicinity of the airport, or assur-
ing protection or control of aerial ap-
proaches, when the sponsor lacks the 
power to zone the land.
