§ 151.89 

§ 151.87 Lighting and electrical work: 

Standards. 

(a)–(b) [Reserved] 
(c) The number of runways that are 

eligible for lighting is the same as the 
number eligible for paving under 
§ 151.77, § 151.79, or § 151.80. 

(d) The installing of high intensity 

runway edge lighting is eligible on a 
designated instrument landing runway 
and any other runway with approved 
straight-in approach procedures. A run-
way that is eligible for lighting, but 
does not meet the requirements for 75 
percent U.S. participation under 
§ 151.43(d), is eligible for 50 percent U.S. 
participation in the costs of high inten-
sity runway edge lighting (or the al-
lowable percentage in § 151.43(c) for 
public land States), if the airport is 
served by a navigational aid that will 
allow using instrument approach pro-
cedures. If a runway is not eligible for 
75 or 50 percent Federal participation 
in high intensity runway edge lighting 
but is otherwise eligible for runway 
lighting, the U.S. share of the cost of 
runway edge lighting is 50 percent of 
the cost of the lighting installed but 
not more than 50 percent of the cost of 
medium intensity lighting. 

(e) In-runway lighting (touchdown 

zone lighting system, and centerline 
lighting system) is eligible on the des-
ignated instrument landing runway. 

(f) Taxiways to eligible runways on 

airports served by transport aircraft 
are eligible for lighting. On airports 
serving only general aviation, the 
lighting of connecting taxiways is eli-
gible if the runway served is lighted or 
is programed to be lighted. The light-
ing of a parallel taxiway is eligible if 
the taxiway is eligible for paving. 
Lighting of other taxiways is eligible 
or not, depending on the complexity of 
the taxiway system. 

(g) Floodlighting of aprons is eligible 

if there is a proven need for it, includ-
ing a showing of night operations 
where the runway is lighted. 

(h) Any airport that is eligible to 

participate in the costs of runway 
lighting is eligible for the installing of 
an airport beacon, lighted wind indi-
cator, obstruction lights, lighting con-
trol equipment, and other components 
of basic airport lighting, including sep-
arate transformer vaults and connec-

tion to the nearest available power 
source. 

(i) The interconnection of two or 

more power sources on an airport prop-
erty, the providing of second sources of 
power, and the installing of standby 
engine generators of reasonable capac-
ity, are eligible under the program. 

(j) Economy approach lighting aids 

are eligible for inclusion in a project at 
an airport that will not qualify within 
the next three years for approach light-
ing aids installed by FAA under the 
Facilities and Equipment Program if 
the economy approach lighting aids— 

(1) Will correct a visual deficiency on 

one of the lighted runways of the air-
port; or 

(2) Will permit operations at an air-

port at lower minimums. 

‘‘Economy approach lighting aids’’ in-
cludes a medium intensity approach 
lighting system (MALS) that may in-
clude a sequence flasher (SF); a runway 
end identifier lights system (REILS): 
and an abbreviated visual approach 
slope indicator (AVASI). 

(k) Appendix F of this part sets forth 

typical eligible and ineligible items of 
airport lighting covered by § 151.86 and 
this section.

§ 151.89 Roads. 

(a) Federal-aid Airport Program 

funds may not be used to resolve high-
way problems. Only those airport en-
trance roads that are definitely needed 
and are intended only as a way in and 
out of the airport are eligible. 

(b) The construction, alteration, and 

repair of airport roads and streets that 
are entirely within the airport bound-
aries are eligible under the program, if 
needed for operating and maintaining 
the airport. In the case of an entrance 
road, a strip right-of-way joining the 
main body of the airport to the nearest 
public road may be considered a part of 
the normal boundary of the airport if— 

(1) Adequate title is obtained; 

712 

14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–24 Edition) 

§ 151.91 

(2) It was acquired to provide an air-

port entrance road and was not, before 
the existence of the airport, a public 
thoroughfare; 

(3) The entrance road is intended 

only as a way in and out of the airport; 
and 

(4) The entrance road extends only to 

the nearest public highway, road, or 
street. 

(c) An entrance road may be joined to 

an existing highway or street with a 
normal fillet connection. However, ac-
celeration-deceleration strips or grade 
separations are not eligible. 

(d) Offsite road or street relocation 

needed to allow airport development or 
to remove an obstruction, and is not 
for entrance road purposes, is eligible. 

(e) Appendix G sets forth typical eli-

gible and ineligible items of road con-
struction covered by this section. 

§ 151.91 Removal of obstructions. 

(a) The removal or relocation, or 

both, of obstructions, as defined in 
Technical Standard Order N18 is eligi-
ble under the Program in cases where 
definite arrangements are made to pre-
vent the obstruction from being recre-
ated. In a case where removal is not 
feasible, the cost of marking or light-
ing it is eligible. The removal and relo-
cation of structures necessary for es-
sential airport development is eligible. 
The removal of structures that are not 
obstructions under § 77.23 of this chap-
ter as applied to § 77.27 of this chapter 
are eligible when they are located 
within a runway clear zone. 

(b) The removal and relocation of an 

airport hangar that is an airport haz-
ard (as described in § 151.39(b)) is eligi-
ble, if the reerected hangar will be sub-
stantially identical to the disassem-
bled one. 

(c) Whenever a hangar must be relo-

cated (either for clearance of the site 
for other airport development or to re-
move a hazard) and the existing struc-
ture is to be relocated with or without 
disassembly, the cost of the relocation 
is an eligible item of project costs, in-
cluding costs incidental to the reloca-
tion such as necessary footings and 
floors. However, if the existing struc-
ture is to be demolished and a new 
hangar is to be built, only the cost of 

demolishing the existing hangar is an 
eligible item.

amended by Amdt. 151–22, 33 FR 8267, June 4, 
1968] 

§ 151.93 Buildings; utilities; sidewalks; 

parking areas; and landscaping. 

(a) Only buildings or parts of build-

ings intended to house facilities or ac-
tivities directly related to the safety of 
persons at the airport, including fire 
and rescue equipment buildings, are el-
igible items under the Federal-aid Air-
port Program. To the extent they are 
necessary to house snow removal and 
abrasive spreading equipment, and to 
provide minimum protection for abra-
sive materials, field maintenance 
equipment buildings are eligible items 
in any airport development project for 
an airport in a location having a mean 
daily minimum temperature of zero de-
grees Fahrenheit, or less, for at least 20 
days each year for the 5 years pre-
ceding the year when Federal aid is re-
quested under § 151.21(a), based on the 
statistics of the U.S. Department of 
Commerce Weather Bureau if avail-
able, or other evidence satisfactory to 
the Administrator. 

(b) Airport utility construction, in-

stallation, and connection are eligible 
under the Federal-aid Airport Program 
as follows: 

(1) An airport utility serving only eli-

gible areas and facilities is eligible; 
and 

(2) An airport utility serving both el-

igible and ineligible airport areas and 
facilities is eligible only to the extent 
of the additional cost of providing the 
capacity needed for eligible areas and 
facilities over and above the capacity 
necessary for the ineligible areas and 
facilities. 

However, a water system is eligible 
only to the extent necessary to provide 
fire protection for aircraft operations, 
and to provide water for a fire and res-
cue equipment building. 

(c) No part of the constructing, alter-

ing, or repairing (including grading, 
drainage, and other site preparation 
work) of a facility or area that is to be 
used as a public parking facility for 
passenger automobiles is eligible for 
inclusion in a project.
