§ 151.1 Applicability.
This part prescribes the policies and
procedures for administering the Fed-
eral-aid Airport Program under the
Federal Airport Act, as amended (49
U.S.C. 1101
et seq.
).
[Doc. No. 1329, 27 FR 12349, Dec. 13, 1962]
§ 151.3 National Airport Plan.
(a) Under the Federal Airport Act,
the FAA prepares each year a ‘‘Na-
tional Airport Plan’’ for developing
public airports in the United States,
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and
Guam. In terms of general location and
type of development, the National Air-
port Plan specifies the maximum lim-
its of airport development that is nec-
essary to provide a system of public
airports adequate to anticipate and
meet the needs of civil aeronautics.
(b) If, within the forecast period, an
airport will have a substantial aero-
nautical necessity, it may be included
in the National Airport Plan. Only
work on an airport included in the cur-
rent Plan is eligible for inclusion in the
Federal-aid Airport Program to be un-
dertaken within currently available ap-
propriations and authorizations. How-
ever, the inclusion of an airport in the
National Airport Plan does not commit
the United States to include it in the
Federal-aid Airport Program. In addi-
tion, the local community concerned is
not required to proceed with planning
or development of an airport included
in the National Airport Plan.
[Amdt. 151–8, 30 FR 8039, June 23, 1965]
§ 151.5 General policies.
(a)
Airport layout plan.
As used in this
part, ‘‘airport layout plan’’ means the
basic plan for the layout of an eligible
airport that shows, as a minimum—
(1) The present boundaries of the air-
port and of the offsite areas that the
sponsor owns or controls for airport
purposes, and of their proposed addi-
tions;
(2) The location and nature of exist-
ing and proposed airport facilities
(such as runways, taxiways, aprons,
terminal buildings, hangars, and roads)
and of their proposed modifications and
extensions; and
(3) The location of existing and pro-
posed non-aviation areas, and of their
existing improvements.
All airport development under the Fed-
eral-aid Airport Program must be done
in accordance with an approved airport
687
Federal Aviation Administration, DOT
§ 151.7
layout plan. Each airport layout plan,
and any change in it, is subject to FAA
approval. The Administrator’s signa-
ture on the face of an original airport
layout plan, or of any change in it, in-
dicates FAA approval. The FAA ap-
proves an airport layout plan only if
the airport development is sound and
meets applicable requirements.
(b)
Safe, useful, and usable unit.
Ex-
cept as provided in paragraph (d) of
this section, each advance planning
and engineering proposal or airport de-
velopment project must provide for the
planning or development of—
(1) An airport or unit of an airport
that is safe, useful, and usable; or
(2) An additional facility that in-
creases the safety, usefulness, or
usability of an airport.
(c)
National defense needs.
The needs
of national defense are fully considered
in administering the Federal-aid Air-
port Program. However, approval of an
advance planning and engineering pro-
posal or a project application is limited
to planning or airport development
necessary for civil aviation.
(d)
Stage development.
In any case in
which airport development can be ac-
complished more economically under
stage construction, federal funds may
be programmed in advance for the de-
velopment over two or more years
under two or more grant agreements.
In such a case, the FAA makes a ten-
tative allocation of funds for both the
current and future fiscal years, rather
than allocating the entire federal share
in one fiscal year. A grant agreement is
made only during the fiscal year in
which funds are authorized to be obli-
gated. Advance planning and engineer-
ing grants are not made under this
paragraph.
[Amdt. 151–8, 30 FR 8039, June 23, 1965]
§ 151.7 Grants of funds: General poli-
cies.
(a)
Compliance with sponsorship re-
quirements.
The FAA authorizes the ex-
penditure of funds under the Federal-
aid Airport Program for airport plan-
ning and engineering or for airport de-
velopment only if the Administrator is
satisfied that the sponsor has met or
will meet the requirements established
by existing and proposed agreements
with the United States with respect to
any airport that the sponsor owns or
controls.
(1) Agreements with the United
States to which this requirement of
compliance applies include—
(i) Any grant agreement made under
the Federal-aid Airport Program;
(ii) Any covenant in a conveyance
under section 16 of the Federal Airport
Act;
(iii) Any covenant in a conveyance of
surplus airport property either under
section 13(g) of the Surplus Property
Act (50 U.S.C. App. 1622(g)) or under
Regulation 16 of the War Assets Ad-
ministration; and
(iv) Any AP–4 agreement made under
the terminated Development Landing
Areas National Defense Program and
the Development Civil Landing Areas
Program.
This requirement does not apply to as-
surances required under section 602 of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C.
2000d–1) and § 15.7 of the Federal Avia-
tion Regulations (14 CFR 15.7).
(2) If it appears that a sponsor has
failed to comply with a requirement of
an agreement with the United States
with respect to an airport, the FAA no-
tifies him of this fact and affords him
an opportunity to submit materials to
refute the allegation of noncompliance
or to achieve compliance.
(3) If a project is otherwise eligible
under the Federal-aid Airport Pro-
gram, a grant may be made to a spon-
sor who has not complied with an
agreement if the sponsor shows—
(i) That the noncompliance is caused
by factors beyond his control; or
(ii) That the following circumstances
exist:
(
a
) The noncompliance consisted of a
failure, through mistake or ignorance,
to perform minor conditions in old
agreements with the Federal Govern-
ment; and
(
b
) The sponsor is taking reasonable
action promptly to correct the defi-
ciency or the deficiency relates to an
obligation that is no longer required
for the safe and efficient use of the air-
port under existing law and policy.
(b)
Small proposals and projects.
Unless
there is otherwise a special need for
U.S. participation, the FAA includes
an advance planning and engineering
proposal or an airport development
