§ 158.13 Use of PFC revenue.
PFC revenue, including any interest
earned after such revenue has been re-
mitted to a public agency, may be used
only to finance the allowable costs of
approved projects at any airport the
public agency controls.
(a)
Total cost.
PFC revenue may be
used to pay all or part of the allowable
cost of an approved project.
(b)
PFC administrative support costs.
Public agencies may use PFC revenue
to pay for allowable administrative
support costs. Public agencies must
submit these costs as a separate
project in each PFC application.
(c)
Maximum cost for certain low-emis-
sion technology projects.
If a project in-
volves a vehicle or ground support
equipment using low emission tech-
nology eligible under § 158.15(b), the
FAA will determine the maximum cost
that may be financed by PFC revenue.
The maximum cost for a new vehicle is
the incremental amount between the
purchase price of a new low emission
vehicle and the purchase price of a
standard emission vehicle, or the cost
of converting a standard emission vehi-
cle to a low emission vehicle.
(d)
Bond-associated debt service and fi-
nancing costs.
(1) Public agencies may
use PFC revenue to pay debt service
and financing costs incurred for a bond
issued to carry out approved projects.
(2) If the public agency’s bond docu-
ments require that PFC revenue be
commingled in the general revenue
stream of the airport and pledged for
the benefit of holders of obligations,
the FAA considers PFC revenue to
have paid the costs covered in
§ 158.13(d)(1) if—
(i) An amount equal to the part of
the proceeds of the bond issued to
carry out approved projects is used to
pay allowable costs of such projects;
and
(ii) To the extent the PFC revenue
collected in any year exceeds the debt
service and financing costs on such
bonds during that year, an amount
equal to the excess is applied as re-
quired by § 158.39.
(e)
Exception providing for the use of
PFC revenue to pay for debt service for
non-eligible projects.
The FAA may au-
thorize a public agency under § 158.18 to
impose a PFC for payments for debt
