§ 151.67 

which the project is located. In addi-
tion, that public agency or person may 
request a public hearing on the loca-
tion of the airport to be developed. If, 
in the Administrator’s opinion, that 
public agency or person has a substan-
tial interest in the matter, a public 
hearing is held. 

(b) The Administrator sets the time 

and place of each hearing under this 
section, to avoid undue delay in dis-
posing of the application, to afford rea-
sonable time for all parties concerned 
to prepare for it, and to hold it at a 
place convenient to the sponsor. Notice 
of the time and place is mailed to the 
public agency or person filing the 
memorandum, the sponsor, and any 
other necessary persons. 

(c) The purpose of the hearing is to 

help the Administrator discover facts 
relating to the location of the airport 
that is proposed to be developed under 
an application pending before him. 
There are no adverse parties or inter-
ests and no defendant or respondent. 
They are not hearings for the purposes 
of 5 U.S.C. 554, 556, and 557, and do not 
terminate in an adjudication as defined 
in that Act. 

(d) Each hearing under this section is 

conducted by a hearing officer des-
ignated by the Administrator. The 
hearing officer decides the length of 
the hearing, the kind of testimony to 
be heard, and all other matters respect-
ing the conduct of the hearing. The 
hearing is recorded in a manner deter-
mined by the hearing officer and the 
record becomes a part of the record of 
the project application. The Adminis-
trator’s decision is not made solely on 
the basis of the hearing, but on all rel-
evant facts.
