purpose:
$501,866 for airport development.
2. The allowable costs of the project shall not include any costs determined by the FAA to be ineligible for
consideration as to allowability under the Act.
3. Payment of the United States' share of the allowable project costs will be made pursuant to and in
accordance with the provisions of such regulations and procedures as the Secretary shall prescribe. Final
determination of the United States' share will be based upon the final audit of the total amount of allowable
project costs and settlement will be made for any upward or downward adjustments to the Federal share of
costs.
4. The. Sponsor shall carry out and complete the Project without undue delays and in accordance with the terms
hereof, and such regulations and procedures as the Secretary shall prescribe, and agrees to comply with the
assurances which were made part of the project application.
5. The FAA reserves the right to amend or withdraw this offer at any time prior to its acceptance by the Sponsor.
6. This offer shall expire and the United States shall not be obligated to pay any part of the costs of the project
unless this offer has been accepted by the Sponsor on or before March 29, 2010, or such subsequent date as
may be prescribed in writing by the FAA.
7. The Sponsor shall take all steps, including litigation if necessary, to recover Federal funds spent fraudulently,

the statutory percent limitation and will advise the Sponsor by letter of the increase. It is further understood
and agreed that if, during the life of the project, the FAA determines that a change in the grant description is
advantageous and in the best interests of the United States, the change in grant description will be unilaterally
amended by letter from the FAA. Upon issuance of the aforementioned letter, either the grant obligation of
the United States is adjusted to the amount specified or the grant description is amended to the description
specified.
11. PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM: For a project to replace or reconstruct pavement

airport. As a minimum, the program must conform with the provisions outlined below
Pavement Maintenance Management Program
An effective pavement maintenance management program is one that details the procedures to be followed
to assure that proper pavement maintenance, both preventive and repair, is performed. An airport sponsor
may use any form of inspection program it deems appropriate. The program must, as a minimum, include
the following:
a. Pavement Inventory. The following must be depicted in an appropriate form and level of detail:
(1) location of all runways, taxiways, and aprons;
(2) dimensions;
(3) type of pavement, and;
(4) year of construction or most recent major rehabilitation.
For compliance with the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) assurances, pavements that have been
constructed, reconstructed, or repaired with federal financial assistance shall be so depicted.
b. Inspection Schedule.
(1) Detailed Inspection. A detailed inspection must be performed at least once a year. If a history of
recorded pavement deterioration is available, i.e., Pavement Condition Index (PCI) survey as set
forth in Advisory Circular 150/5380-6, "Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airport
Pavements," the frequency of inspections may be extended to three years.
(2) Drive -By Inspection. A drive -by inspection must be performed a minimum of once per month to
detect unexpected changes in the pavement condition.
c. Record Keeping. Complete information on the findings of all detailed inspections and on the
maintenance performed must be recorded and kept on file for a minimum of five years. The types of
distress, their locations, and remedial action, scheduled or performed, must be documented. The
minimum information to be recorded is listed below:
(1) inspection date,
(2) location,
(3) distress types, and
(4) maintenance scheduled or performed.
For drive -by inspections, the date of inspection and any maintenance performed must be recorded.
d. Information Retrieval. An airport sponsor may use any form of record keeping it deems appropriate,
so long as the information and records produced by the pavement survey can be retrieved to provide a
report to the FAA as may be required.
e. Reference. Refer to Advisory Circular 150/5380-6, "Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of
Airport Pavements," for specific guidelines and procedures for maintaining airport pavements and
establishing an effective maintenance program. Specific types of distress, their probable causes,
inspection guidelines, and recommended methods of repair are presented.

12. PROJECTS WHICH CONTAIN PAVING WORK IN EXCESS OF $260,000: The Sponsor agrees to perform
the following:
a. Furnish a construction management program to FAA prior to the start of construction which shall detail
the measures and procedures to be used to comply with the quality control provisions of the
construction contract, including, but not limited to, all quality control provisions and tests required by the
Federal specifications. The program shall include as a minimum:
(1) The name of the person representing the Sponsor who has overall responsibility for contract
administration for the project and the authority to take necessary actions to comply with the
contract.
(2) Names of testing laboratories and consulting engineer firms with quality control responsibilities on
the project, together with a description of the services to be provided.
(3) Procedures for determining that testing laboratories meet the requirements of the American Society
of Testing and Materials standards on laboratory evaluation, referenced in the contract
specifications (D 3666, C 1077).
(4) Qualifications of engineering supervision and construction inspection personnel.
(5) A listing of all tests required by the contract specifications, including the type and frequency of tests
to be taken, the method of sampling, the applicable test standard, and the acceptance criteria or
tolerances permitted for each type of test.
(6) Procedures for ensuring that the tests are taken in accordance with the program, that they are
documented daily, and that the proper corrective actions, where necessary, are undertaken.
b. Submit at completion of the project, a final test and quality control report documenting the results of all
tests performed, highlighting those tests that failed or that did not meet the applicable test standard.
The report shall include the pay reductions applied and the reasons for accepting any out-of4olerance
material. An interim test and quality control report shall be submitted, if requested by the FAA.
c. Failure to provide a complete report as described in paragraph b, or failure to perform such tests, shall,
absent any compelling justification, result in a reduction in Federal participation for costs incurred in
connection with construction of the applicable pavement. Such reduction shall be at the discretion of
the FAA and will be based on the type or types of required tests not performed or not documented and
will be commensurate with the proportion of applicable pavement with respect to the total pavement
constructed under the grant agreement.
d. The FAA, at its discretion, reserves the right to conduct independent tests and to reduce grant
payments accordingly if such independent tests determine that sponsor test results are inaccurate.
13. BUY AMERICAN REQUIREMENT: Unless otherwise approved by the FAA, the Sponsor will not acquire or
permit any contractor or subcontractor to acquire any steel or manufactured products produced outside the

finance and carry out the proposed project and comply with all terms,
conditions, and assurances of this grant agreement. It shall designate an
official representative and shall in writing direct and authorize that person
Airport Assurances (3/2005)
to file this application, including all understandings and assurances
contained therein; to act in connection with this application; and to provide
such additional information as may be required.
3. Sponsor Fund Availability. It has sufficient funds available for that portion of the project costs
which are not to be paid by the United States. It has sufficient funds available to assure operation
and maintenance of items funded under the grant agreement which it will own or control.
4. Good Title.

b. For noise compatibility program projects to be carried out on the property
of the sponsor, it holds good title satisfactory to the Secretary to that
portion of the property upon which Federal funds will be expended or will
give assurance to the Secretary that good title will be obtained.
5. Preserving Rights and Powers.
a. It will not take or permit any action which would operate to deprive it of
any of the rights and powers necessary to perform any or all of the terms,
conditions, and assurances in the grant agreement without the written
approval of the Secretary, and will act promptly to acquire, extinguish or
modify any outstanding rights or claims of right of others which would
interfere with such performance by the sponsor. This shall be done in a
manner acceptable to the Secretary.
b. It will not sell, lease, encumber, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any
part of its title or other interests in the property shown on Exhibit A to this

duration of the terms, conditions, and assurances in the grant agreement
without approval by the Secretary. If the transferee is found by the
Secretary to be eligible under Title 49, United States Code, to assume the
obligations of the grant agreement and to have the power, authority, and
financial resources to carry out all such obligations, the sponsor shall insert
in the contract or document transferring or disposing of the sponsor's
interest, and make binding upon the transferee all of the terms, conditions,
and assurances contained in this grant agreement.

e. If the sponsor is a private sponsor, it will take steps satisfactory to the
Secretary to ensure that the airport will continue to function as a public -use
airport in accordance with these assurances for the duration of these
assurances.
£ If an arrangement is made for management and operation of the airport by
any agency or person other than the sponsor or an employee of the

removing, lowering, relocating, marking, or lighting or otherwise mitigating existing airport
hazards and by preventing the establishment or creation of future airport hazards.
21. Compatible Land Use. It will take appropriate action, to the extent reasonable, including
the adoption of zoning laws, to restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate
vicinity of the airport to activities and purposes compatible with normal airport operations,
including landing and takeoff of aircraft. In addition, if the project is for noise compatibility
program implementation, it will not cause or permit any change in land use, within its
jurisdiction, that will reduce its compatibility, with respect to the airport, of the noise
compatibility program measures upon which Federal funds have been expended.
22. Economic Nondiscrimination.
a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable
terms and without unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of
aeronautical activities, including commercial aeronautical activities
offering services to the public at the airport.
b. In any agreement, contract, lease, or other arrangement under which a right
or privilege at the airport is granted to any person, firm, or corporation to

the public at the airport, the sponsor will insert and enforce provisions
requiring the contractor to-
(1) furnish said services on a reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory,
basis to all users thereof, and
(2) charge reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, prices for each
unit or service, provided that the contractor may be allowed to make
reasonable and nondiscriminatory discounts, rebates, or other similar
types of price reductions to volume purchasers.
Airport Assurances (3/2005)

c. Each fixed -based operator at the airport shall be subject to the same rates,
fees, rentals, and other charges as are uniformly applicable to all other
fixed -based operators making the same or similar uses of such airport and
utilizing the same or similar facilities.
d. Each air carrier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to
use any fixed -based operator that is authorized or permitted by the airport
to serve any air carrier at such airport.
e. Each air carrier using such airport (whether as a tenant, non tenant, or
subtenant of another air carrier tenant) shall be subject to such
nondiscriminatory and substantially comparable rules, regulations,
conditions, rates, fees, rentals, and other charges with respect to facilities
directly and substantially related to providing air transportation as are
applicable to all such air carriers which make similar use of such airport
and utilize similar facilities, subject to reasonable classifications such as
tenants or non tenants and signatory carriers and non signatory carriers.
Classification or status as tenant or signatory shall not be unreasonably
withheld by any airport provided an air carrier assumes obligations
substantially similar to those already imposed on air carriers in such
classification or status.
£ It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent
any person, firm, or corporation operating aircraft on the airport from
performing any services on its own aircraft with its own employees
[including, but not limited to maintenance, repair, and fueling] that it may
choose to perform.
g. In the event the sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges
referred to in this assurance, the services involved will be provided on the
same conditions as would apply to the furnishing of such services by
commercial aeronautical service providers authorized by the sponsor under
these provisions.

discriminatory, conditions to be met by all users of the airport as may be
necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the airport.
i. The sponsor may prohibit or limit any given type, kind or class of
aeronautical use of the airport if such action is necessary for the safe
operation of the airport or necessary to serve the civil aviation needs of the
public.
23. Exclusive Rights. It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by any person
providing, or intending to provide, aeronautical services to the public. For purposes of this
paragraph, the providing of the services at an airport by a single fixed -based operator shall
not be construed as an exclusive right if both of the following apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly, burdensome, or impractical for more than one
fixed -based operator to provide such services, and
b. If allowing more than one fixed -based operator to provide such services would
require the reduction of space leased pursuant to an existing agreement
between such single fixed -based operator and such airport.
It further agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, grant or permit any person, firm,
or corporation, the exclusive right at the airport to conduct any aeronautical activities,
including, but not limited to charter flights, pilot training, aircraft rental and sightseeing,
aerial photography, crop dusting, aerial advertising and surveying, air carrier operations,
Airport Assurances (3/2005)
10
aircraft sales and services, sale of aviation petroleum products whether or not conducted in
conjunction with other aeronautical activity, repair and maintenance of aircraft, sale of
aircraft parts, and any other activities which because of their direct relationship to the
operation of aircraft can be regarded as an aeronautical activity, and that it will terminate any
exclusive right to conduct an aeronautical activity now existing at such an airport before the
grant of any assistance under Title 49, United States Code.
24. Fee and Rental Structure. It will maintain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and
services at the airport which will make the airport as self-sustaining as possible under the
circumstances existing at the particular airport, taking into account such factors as the volume of
traffic and economy of collection. No part of the Federal share of an airport development, airport
planning or noise compatibility project for which a grant is made under Title 49, United States
Code, the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, the Federal Airport Act or the Airport
and Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be included in the rate basis in establishing fees,
rates, and charges for users of that airport.
25. Airport Revenues.
a. All revenues generated by the airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel
established after December 30, 1987, will be expended by it for the capital or
operating costs of the airport; the local airport system; or other local facilities
which are owned or operated by the owner or operator of the airport and which
are directly and substantially related to the actual air transportation of
passengers or property; or for noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport.
Provided, however, that if covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued
before September 3, 1982, by the owner or operator of the airport, or provisions
enacted before September 3, 1982, in governing statutes controlling the owner
or operator's financing, provide for the use of the revenues from any of the
airport owner or operator's facilities, including the airport, to support not only
the airport but also the airport owner or operator's general debt obligations or
other facilities, then this limitation on the use of all revenues generated by the
airport (and, in the case of a public airport, local taxes on aviation fuel) shall
not apply.
b. As part of the annual audit required under the Single Audit Act of 1984, the
sponsor will direct that the audit will review, and the resulting audit report will
provide an opinion concerning, the use of airport revenue and taxes in
paragraph (a), and indicating whether funds paid or transferred to the owner or
operator are paid or transferred in a manner consistent with Title 49, United
States Code and any other applicable provision of law, including any regulation
promulgated by the Secretary or Administrator.
c. Any civil penalties or other sanctions will be imposed for violation of this
assurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 47107 of Title 49,

developed with Federal financial assistance and all those usable for landing and takeoff of
aircraft to the United States for use by Government aircraft in common with other aircraft at
all times without charge, except, if the use by Government aircraft is substantial, charge may
be made for a reasonable share, proportional to such use, for the cost of operating and
maintaining the facilities used. Unless otherwise determined by the Secretary, or otherwise
agreed to by the sponsor and the using agency, substantial use of an airport by Government
aircraft will be considered to exist when operations of such aircraft are in excess of those
which, in the opinion of the Secretary, would unduly interfere with use of the landing areas
by other authorized aircraft, or during any calendar month that"
a. Five (5) or more Government aircraft are regularly based at the airport or
on land adjacent thereto; or
b. The total number of movements (counting each landing as a movement) of

12
be subject to the approval of the Secretary which approval shall be
evidenced by the signature of a duly authorized representative of the
Secretary on the face of the airport layout plan. The sponsor will not make
or permit any changes or alterations in the airport or any of its facilities
which are not in conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the
Secretary and which might, in the opinion of the Secretary, adversely
affect the safety, utility or efficiency of the airport.
b. If a change or alteration in the airport or the facilities is made which the
Secretary determines adversely affects the safety, utility, or efficiency of
any federally owned, leased, or funded property on or off the airport and
which is not in conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the
Secretary, the owner or operator will, if requested, by the Secretary (1)
eliminate such adverse effect in a manner approved by the Secretary; or (2)
bear all costs of relocating such property (or replacement thereof) to a site
acceptable to the Secretary and all costs of restoring such property (or

operation existing before the unapproved change in the airport or its
facilities.
30. Civil Rights. It will comply with such rules as are promulgated to assure that no person
shall, on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, or handicap be excluded
from participating in any activity conducted with or benefiting from funds received from this
grant. This assurance obligates the sponsor for the period during which Federal financial
assistance is extended to the program, except where Federal financial assistance is to
provide, or is in the form of personal property or real property or interest therein or structures
or improvements thereon in which case the assurance obligates the sponsor or any transferee
for the longer of the following periods: (a) the period during which the property is used for a
purpose for which Federal financial assistance is extended, or for another purpose involving
the provision of similar services or benefits, or (b) the period during which the sponsor
retains ownership or possession of the property.
31. Disposal of Land.
a. For land purchased under a grant for airport noise compatibility purposes,

of the proceeds of such disposition which is proportionate to the United
States' share of acquisition of such land will, at the discretion of the
Secretary, (1) be paid to the Secretary for deposit in the Trust Fund, or
(2) be reinvested in an approved noise compatibility project as prescribed
by the Secretary, including the purchase of nonresidential buildings or
property in the vicinity of residential buildings or property previously
purchased by the airport as part of a noise compatibility program.
b. For land purchased under a grant for airport development purposes (other
than noise compatibility), it will, when the land is no longer needed for
airport purposes, dispose of such land at fair market value or make
available to the Secretary an amount equal to the United States'
proportionate share of the fair market value of the land. That portion of
the proceeds of such disposition which is proportionate to the United
States' share of the cost of acquisition of such land will, (1) upon
application to the Secretary, be reinvested in another eligible airport
improvement project or projects approved by the Secretary at that airport
or within the national airport system, or (2) be paid to the Secretary for
deposit in the Trust Fund if no eligible project exists.
Airport Assurances (3/2005)
c. Land shall be considered to be needed for airport purposes under this
assurance if (1) it may be needed for aeronautical purposes (including
runway protection zones) or serve as noise buffer land, and (2) the revenue
from interim uses of such land contributes to the financial self-sufficiency
of the airport. Further, land purchased with a grant received by an airport
operator or owner before December 31, 1987, will be considered to be
needed for airport purposes if the Secretary or Federal agency making such
grant before December 31, 1987, was notified by the operator or owner of
the uses of such land, did not object to such use, and the land continues to
be used for that purpose, such use having commenced no later than
December 15, 1989.
d. Disposition of such land under (a) (b) or (c) will be subject to the retention

supervision at the construction site throughout the project to assure that the work conforms
to the plans, specifications, and schedules approved by the Secretary for the project. It shall
subject the construction work on any project contained in an approved project application to
inspection and approval by the Secretary and such work shall be in accordance with
regulations and procedures prescribed by the Secretary. Such regulations and procedures
shall require such cost and progress reporting by the sponsor or sponsors of such project as
the Secretary shall deem necessary.
18. Planning Projects. In carrying out planning projects:
a. It will execute the project in accordance with the approved program
narrative contained in the project application or with the modifications
similarly approved.
b. It will furnish the Secretary with such periodic reports as required
pertaining to the planning project and planning work activities.
c. It will include in all published material prepared in connection with the
planning project a notice that the material was prepared under a grant

project as well as the right to disapprove the proposed scope and cost of
professional services.
g. It will grant the Secretary the right to disapprove the use of the sponsor's
employees to do all or any part of the project.
h. It understands and agrees that the Secretary's approval of this project grant
or the Secretary's approval of any planning material developed as part of
this grant does not constitute or imply any assurance or commitment on the
part of the Secretary to approve any pending or future application for a
Federal airport grant.
19. Operation and Maintenance.
a. The airport and all facilities which are necessary to serve the aeronautical
users of the airport, other than facilities owned or controlled by the United
States, shall be operated at all times in a safe and serviceable condition and
in accordance with the minimum standards as may be required or
prescribed by applicable Federal, state and local agencies for maintenance
and operation. It will not cause or permit any activity or action thereon
which would interfere with its use for airport purposes. It will suitably
Airport Assurances (3/2005)
operate and maintain the airport and all facilities thereon or connected
therewith, with due regard to climatic and flood conditions. Any proposal
to temporarily close the airport for non -aeronautical purposes must first be
approved by the Secretary.
In furtherance of this assurance, the sponsor will have in effect
arrangements for-
(1) Operating the airport's aeronautical facilities whenever
required;
(2) Promptly marking and lighting hazards resulting from airport
conditions, including temporary conditions; and
(3) Promptly notifying airmen of any condition affecting
aeronautical use of the airport.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require that the airport be
operated for aeronautical use during temporary periods when snow, flood
or other climatic conditions interfere with such operation and maintenance.
Further, nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the maintenance,
repair, restoration, or replacement of any structure or facility which is
substantially damaged or destroyed due to an act of God or other condition
or circumstance beyond the control of the sponsor.
b. It will suitably operate and maintain noise compatibility program items
that it owns or controls upon which Federal funds have been expended.
20. Hazard Removal and Mitigation. It will take appropriate action to assure that such
terminal airspace as is required to protect instrument and visual operations to the airport
(including established minimum flight altitudes) will be adequately cleared and protected by
removing, lowering, relocating, marking, or lighting or otherwise mitigating existing airport
hazards and by preventing the establishment or creation of future airport hazards.
21. Compatible Land Use. It will take appropriate action, to the extent reasonable, including
the adoption of zoning laws, to restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate
vicinity of the airport to activities and purposes compatible with normal airport operations,
including landing and takeoff of aircraft. In addition, if the project is for noise compatibility
program implementation, it will not cause or permit any change in land use, within its
jurisdiction, that will reduce its compatibility, with respect to the airport, of the noise
compatibility program measures upon which Federal funds have been expended.
22. Economic Nondiscrimination.
a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable
terms and without unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of
aeronautical activities, including commercial aeronautical activities
offering services to the public at the airport.
b. In any agreement, contract, lease, or other arrangement under which a right
or privilege at the airport is granted to any person, firm, or corporation to
conduct or to engage in any aeronautical activity for furnishing services to
the public at the airport, the sponsor will insert and enforce provisions
requiring the contractor to-
(1) furnish said services on a reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory,
basis to all users thereof, and
(2) charge reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, prices for each
unit or service, provided that the contractor may be allowed to make
reasonable and nondiscriminatory discounts, rebates, or other similar
types of price reductions to volume purchasers.
Airport Assurances (3/2005)
E
c. Each fixed -based operator at the airport shall be subject to the same rates,
fees, rentals, and other charges as are uniformly applicable to all other
fixed -based operators making the same or similar uses of such airport and
utilizing the same or similar facilities.
d. Each air carrier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to
use any fixed -based operator that is authorized or permitted by the airport
to serve any air carrier at such airport.
e. Each air carrier using such airport (whether as a tenant, non tenant, or
subtenant of another air carrier tenant) shall be subject to such
nondiscriminatory and substantially comparable rules, regulations,
conditions, rates, fees, rentals, and other charges with respect to facilities
directly and substantially related to providing air transportation as are
applicable to all such air carriers which make similar use of such airport
and utilize similar facilities, subject to reasonable classifications such as
tenants or non tenants and signatory carriers and non signatory carriers.
Classification or status as tenant or signatory shall not be unreasonably
withheld by any airport provided an air carrier assumes obligations
substantially similar to those already imposed on air carriers in such
classification or status.
£ It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent
any person, firm, or corporation operating aircraft on the airport from
performing any services on its own aircraft with its own employees
[including, but not limited to maintenance, repair, and fueling] that it may
choose to perform.
g. In the event the sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges
referred to in this assurance, the services involved will be provided on the
same conditions as would apply to the furnishing of such services by
commercial aeronautical service providers authorized by the sponsor under
these provisions.
h. The sponsor may establish such reasonable, and not unjustly
discriminatory, conditions to be met by all users of the airport as maybe
necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the airport.
i. The sponsor may prohibit or limit any given type, kind or class of
aeronautical use of the airport if such action is necessary for the safe
operation of the airport or necessary to serve the civil aviation needs of the
public.
23. Exclusive Rights. It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by any person
providing, or intending to provide, aeronautical services to the public. For purposes of this
paragraph, the providing of the services at an airport by a single fixed -based operator shall
not be construed as an exclusive right if both of the following apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly, burdensome, or impractical for more than one
fixed -based operator to provide such services, and
b. If allowing more than one fixed -based operator to provide such services would
require the reduction of space leased pursuant to an existing agreement
between such single fixed -based operator and such airport.
It further agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, grant or permit any person, firm,
or corporation, the exclusive right at the airport to conduct any aeronautical activities,
including, but not limited to charter flights, pilot training, aircraft rental and sightseeing,
aerial photography, crop dusting, aerial advertising and surveying, air carrier operations,
Airport Assurances (3/2005)
10
aircraft sales and services, sale of aviation petroleum products whether or not conducted in
conjunction with other aeronautical activity, repair and maintenance of aircraft, sale of
aircraft parts, and any other activities which because of their direct relationship to the
operation of aircraft can be regarded as an aeronautical activity, and that it will terminate any
exclusive right to conduct an aeronautical activity now existing at such an airport before the
grant of any assistance under Title 49, United States Code.
24. Fee and Rental Structure. It will maintain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and
services at the airport which will make the airport as self-sustaining as possible under the
circumstances existing at the particular airport, taking into account such factors as the volume of
traffic and economy of collection. No part of the Federal share of an airport development, airport
planning or noise compatibility project for which a grant is made under Title 49, United States
Code, the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, the Federal Airport Act or the Airport
and Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be included in the rate basis in establishing fees,
rates, and charges for users of that airport.
25. Airport Revenues.
a. All revenues generated by the airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel
established after December 30, 1987, will be expended by it for the capital or
operating costs of the airport; the local airport system; or other local facilities
which are owned or operated by the owner or operator of the airport and which
are directly and substantially related to the actual air transportation of
passengers or property; or for noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport.
Provided, however, that if covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued
before September 3, 1982, by the owner or operator of the airport, or provisions
enacted before September 3, 1982, in governing statutes controlling the owner
or operator's financing, provide for the use of the revenues from any of the
airport owner or operator's facilities, including the airport, to support not only
the airport but also the airport owner or operator's general debt obligations or
other facilities, then this limitation on the use of all revenues generated by the
airport (and, in the case of a public airport, local taxes on aviation fuel) shall
not apply.
b. As part of the annual audit required under the Single Audit Act of 1984, the
sponsor will direct that the audit will review, and the resulting audit report will
provide an opinion concerning, the use of airport revenue and taxes in
paragraph (a), and indicating whether funds paid or transferred to the owner or
operator are paid or transferred in a manner consistent with Title 49, United
States Code and any other applicable provision of law, including any regulation
promulgated by the Secretary or Administrator.
c. Any civil penalties or other sanctions will be imposed for violation of this
assurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 47107 of Title 49,
United States Code.
26. Reports and Inspections. It will:
a. submit to the Secretary such annual or special financial and operations reports
as the Secretary may reasonably request and make such reports available to the
public; make available to the public at reasonable times and places a report of

C. for noise compatibility program projects, make records and documents relating
to the project and continued compliance with the terms, conditions, and
assurances of the grant agreement including deeds, leases, agreements,
regulations, and other instruments, available for inspection by any duly
authorized agent of the Secretary upon reasonable request; and
d. in a format and time prescribed by the Secretary, provide to the Secretary and
make available to the public following each of its fiscal years, an annual report
listing in detail:
(i) all amounts paid by the airport to any other unit of government and the
purposes for which each such payment was made; and
(ii) all services and property provided by the airport to other units of government
and the amount of compensation received for provision of each such
service and property.
27. Use by Government Aircraft. It will make available all of the facilities of the airport
developed with Federal financial assistance and all those usable for landing and takeoff of
aircraft to the United States for use by Government aircraft in common with other aircraft at
all times without charge, except, if the use by Government aircraft is substantial, charge may
be made for a reasonable share, proportional to such use, for the cost of operating and
maintaining the facilities used. Unless otherwise determined by the Secretary, or otherwise
agreed to by the sponsor and the using agency, substantial use of an airport by Government
aircraft will be considered to exist when operations of such aircraft are in excess of those
which, in the opinion of the Secretary, would unduly interfere with use of the landing areas
by other authorized aircraft, or during any calendar month that -
a, Five (5) or more Government aircraft are regularly based at the airport or
on land adjacent thereto; or
b. The total number of movements (counting each landing as a movement) of
Government aircraft is 300 or more, or the gross accumulative weight of
Government aircraft using the airport (the total movement of Government
aircraft multiplied by gross weights of such aircraft) is in excess of five
million pounds.
28. Land for Federal Facilities. It will furnish without cost to the Federal Government for use
in connection with any air traffic control or air navigation activities, orweather-reporting
and communication activities related to air traffic control, any areas of land or water, or

desirable for construction, operation, and maintenance at Federal expense of space or
facilities for such purposes. Such areas or any portion thereof will be made available as
provided herein within four months after receipt of a written request from the Secretary.
29. Airport Layout Plan.
a. It will keep up to date at all times an airport layout plan of the airport
showing (1) boundaries of the airport and all proposed additions thereto,
together with the boundaries of all offsite areas owned or controlled by the
sponsor for airport purposes and proposed additions thereto; (2) the
location and nature of all existing and proposed airport facilities and
structures (such as runways, taxiways, aprons, terminal buildings, hangars
and roads), including all proposed extensions and reductions of existing
airport facilities; and (3) the location of all existing and proposed
nonaviation areas and of all existing improvements thereon. Such airport
layout plans and each amendment, revision, or modification thereof, shall
Airport Assurances (3/2005)
12
be subject to the approval of the Secretary which approval shall be
evidenced by the signature of a duly authorized representative of the
Secretary on the face of the airport layout plan. The sponsor will not make
or permit any changes or alterations in the airport or any of its facilities
which are not in conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the
Secretary and which might, in the opinion of the Secretary, adversely
affect the safety, utility or efficiency of the airport.
change or alteration in the airport or the facilities is made which the
Secretary determines adversely affects the safety, utility, or efficiency of
any federally owned, leased, or funded property on or off the airport and
which is not in conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the
Secretary, the owner or operator will, if requested, by the Secretary (1)
eliminate such adverse effect in a manner approved by the Secretary; or (2)
bear all costs of relocating such property (or replacement thereof) to a site
acceptable to the Secretary and all costs of restoring such property (or
replacement thereof) to the level of safety, utility, efficiency, and cost of
operation existing before the unapproved change in the airport or its
facilities.
30. Civil Rights. It will comply with such rules as are promulgated to assure that no person
shall, on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, or handicap be excluded
from participating in any activity conducted with or benefiting from funds received from this
grant. This assurance obligates the sponsor for the period during which Federal financial
assistance is extended to the program, except where Federal financial assistance is to
provide, or is in the form of personal property or real property or interest therein or structures
or improvements thereon in which case the assurance obligates the sponsor or any transferee
for the longer of the following periods: (a) the period during which the property is used for a
purpose for which Federal financial assistance is extended, or for another purpose involving
the provision of similar services or benefits, or (b) the period during which the sponsor
retains ownership or possession of the property.
31. Disposal of Land.
a. For land purchased under a grant for airport noise compatibility purposes,
it will dispose of the land, when the land is no longer needed for such
purposes, at fair market value, at the earliest practicable time. That portion
of the proceeds of such disposition which is proportionate to the United
States' share of acquisition of such land will, at the discretion of the
Secretary, (1) be paid to the Secretary for deposit in the Trust Fund, or
(2) be reinvested in an approved noise compatibility project as prescribed
by the Secretary, including the purchase of nonresidential buildings or
property in the vicinity of residential buildings or property previously
purchased by the airport as part of a noise compatibility program.
b. For land purchased under a grant for airport development purposes (other
than noise compatibility), it will, when the land is no longer needed for
airport purposes, dispose of such land at fair market value or make
available to the Secretary an amount equal to the United States'
proportionate share of the fair market value of the land. That portion of
the proceeds of such disposition which is proportionate to the United
States' share of the cost of acquisition of such land will, (1) upon
application to the Secretary, be reinvested in another eligible airport
improvement project or projects approved by the Secretary at that airport
or within the national airport system, or (2) be paid to the Secretary for
deposit in the Trust Fund if no eligible project exists.
Airport Assurances (3/2005)
13
c. Land shall be considered to be needed for airport purposes under this
assurance if (1) it may be needed for aeronautical purposes (including
runway protection zones) or serve as noise buffer land, and (2) the revenue
from interim uses of such land contributes to the financial self-sufficiency
of the airport. Further, land purchased with a grant received by an airport
operator or owner before December 31, 1987, will be considered to be
needed for airport purposes if the Secretary or Federal agency making such
grant before December 31, 1987, was notified by the operator or owner of
the uses of such land, did not object to such use, and the land continues to
be used for that purpose, such use having commenced no later than
December 15, 1989.
d. Disposition of such land under (a) (b) or (c) will be subject to the retention
or reservation of any interest or right therein necessary to ensure that such
land will only be used for purposes which are compatible with noise levels
associated with operation of the airport.
32. Engineering and Design Services. It will award each contract, or sub -contract for program
management, construction management, planning studies, feasibility studies, architectural
services, preliminary engineering, design, engineering, surveying, mapping or related
services with respect to the project in the same manner as a contract for architectural and
engineering services is negotiated under Title IX of the Federal Property and Administrative
Services Act of 1949 or an equivalent qualifications -based requirement prescribed for or by
the sponsor of the airport.
33. Foreign Market Restrictions. It will not allow funds provided under this grant to be used to
fund any project which uses any product or service of a foreign country during the period in
