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.

§ 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.

§ 151.97
(d) Landscaping is not eligible for in-
clusion in a project. However, the es-
tablishment of turf on graded areas and
special treatment to prevent slope ero-
sion is eligible to the extent of the eli-
gibility of the facilities or areas
served, preserved, or protected by the
turf or treatment. In the case of
turfing or treatment for an area or fa-
cility that is partly eligible and partly
ineligible, the eligibility of the turfing
or treatment is established on a pro
rata basis.
(e) The construction of sidewalks is
not eligible for inclusion in a project.

§ 151.95 Fences; distance markers;
navigational and landing aids; and
offsite work.
(a) Boundary or perimeter fences for
security purposes are eligible for inclu-
sion in a project.
(b) A blast fence is eligible for inclu-
sion in a project whenever—
(1) It is necessary for safety at a run-
way end or a holding area near the end
of a runway and its installation would
be more economical than the acquiring
of additional property interests; or
(2) Its installation for safety at a tur-
bojet-passenger gate will result in less
separation being needed for gate posi-
tions, thereby reducing the need for
apron expansion, and it is more eco-
nomical to build the fence than to ex-
pand the apron.
(c) The eligibility of runway distance
markers for inclusion in a project is de-
cided on a case-by-case basis.
(d) The relocation of navigational
aids is eligible for inclusion in a proj-
ect whenever necessitated by develop-
ment on the airport under a Program
project and the sponsor is responsible
under FAA Order OA 6030.1 (Agency
Order 53).
(e) The installation of any of the fol-
lowing landing aids is eligible for in-
clusion in a project:
(1) Segmented circle.
(2) Wind and landing direction indica-
tors.
(3) Boundary markers.
(f) The initial marking of runway and
taxiway systems is eligible for inclu-
sion in a project. The remarking of ex-
isting runways or taxiways is eligible
if—
(1) Present marking is obsolete under
current FAA standards; or
(2) Present marking is obliterated by
construction, alteration or repair work
included in a FAAP project or by the
required routing of construction equip-
ment used therein.
However, apron marking that is not al-
lied with runway and taxiway marking
systems, is not eligible.
(g) The following offsite work per-
formed outside of the boundaries of an
airport or airport site is eligible for in-
clusion in a project:
(1) Removal of obstruction as pro-
vided in § 151.91.
(2) Outfall drainage ditches, and the
correction of any damage resulting
from their construction.
(3) Relocating of roads and utilities
that are airport hazards as defined in
§ 151.39(b).
(4) Clearing, grading, and grubbing to
allow installing of navigational aids.
(5) Constructing and installing utili-
ties.
(6) Lighting of obstructions.

§ 151.97 Maintenance and repair.
(a) Maintenance work is not airport
development as defined in the Federal
Airport Act and is not eligible for in-
clusion in the Program. Therefore, it is
necessary in many cases that a deter-
mination be made whether particular
proposed development is maintenance
or repair. For the purpose of these de-
terminations, maintenance includes
any regular or recurring work nec-
essary to preserve existing airport fa-
cilities in good condition, any work in-
volved in cleaning or caring for exist-
ing airport facilities, and any inci-
dental or minor repair work on exist-
ing airport facilities, such as—
(1) Mowing and fertilizing of turfed
areas;
(2) Trimming and replacing of land-
scaping material;
(3) Cleaning of drainage systems in-
cluding ditches, pipes, catch basins,
and replacing and restoring eroded
