§ 155.13 Determinations by FAA.
(a) An FAA office that receives a re-
quest for a release under this part, and
supporting documents therefore, exam-
ines it to determine whether the re-
quest meets the requirements of the
Act of October 1, 1949 (63 Stat. 700) so
far as it concerns the interests of the
United States in civil aviation and
whether it might prejudice the needs
and interests of the armed forces. Upon
a determination that the release might
prejudice those needs and interests, the
Department of Defense is consulted as
provided in § 155.9(b).
(b) Upon completing the review, and
receiving the advice of the Department
of Defense if the case was referred to it,
the FAA advises the airport owner as
to whether the release or a modifica-
tion of it, may be granted. If the re-
lease, or a modification of it acceptable
to the owner, is granted, the FAA pre-
pares the necessary instruments and
delivers them to the airport owner.
