§ 151.27 Procedures: Application, 

plans, specifications, and apprais-

als. 

(a) Except as provided in paragraph 

(b) of this section, each sponsor shall 
incorporate by reference in its project 
application the final plans and speci-
fications, describing the items of air-
port development for which it requests 
United States aid. It must submit the 
plans and specifications with the appli-
cation unless they were previously sub-
mitted or are submitted with that of 
another sponsor of the project. 

(b) In special cases, the Adminis-

trator authorizes the postponement of 
the submission of final plans and speci-
fications until a later date to be speci-
fied in the grant agreement, if the 
sponsor has submitted— 

(1) An airport layout plan approved 

by the Administrator; and 

(2) Preliminary plans and specifica-

tions in enough detail to identify all 
items of development included in the 
project, and prepared so as to provide 
for accomplishing the project in ac-
cordance with the master plan layout, 
the rules in subparts B and C and appli-
cable local laws and regulations. 

(c) If the project involves acquiring a 

property interest in land by donation, 
or 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 Administrator, before 
passing on the eligibility of the project 
makes or obtains an appraisal of the 
interest. If the appraised value is less 
than the value placed on the interest 
by the sponsor (§ 151.23), the Adminis-
trator notifies the sponsor that he may 
within a stated time, ask in writing for 
reconsideration of the appraisal and 
submit statements of pertinent facts 
and opinion.

§ 151.29 Procedures: Offer, amend-

ment, and acceptance. 

(a) Upon approving a project, the Ad-

ministrator makes an offer to the spon-
sor to pay the United States share of 
the allowable project costs. The offer 
states a definite amount as the max-
imum obligation of the United States, 
and is subject to change or withdrawal 
by the Administrator, in his discretion, 
at any time before it is accepted. 

(b) If, before the sponsor accepts the 

offer, it is determined that the max-
imum obligation of the United States 
stated in the offer is not enough to pay 
the United States share of the allow-
able project costs, the sponsor may re-
quest an increase in the amount in the 
offer, through the Area Manager. 

(c) An official of the sponsor must ac-

cept the offer for the sponsor within 
the time prescribed in the offer, and in 
the required number of counterparts, 
by signing it in the space provided. The 
signing official must have been author-
ized to sign the acceptance by a resolu-
tion or ordinance adopted by the spon-
sor’s governing body. The resolution or 
ordinance must, as appropriate under 
the local law— 

(1) Set forth the terms of the offer at 

length; or 

(2) Have a copy of the offer attached 

to the resolution or ordinance and in-
corporated into it by reference. 

The sponsor must attach a certified 
copy of the resolution to each executed 
copy of an accepted offer or grant 
agreement that it is required to send to 
the Area Manager.
