eligible for federal financial assistance, and that federal financial assistance will be for
ninety percent (90%) of the eligible project costs. Final determination of federal eligibility
of total project costs will be determined by the State in accordance with federal guidelines
following completion of project.
The total estimated, project cost for the design and construction phases of this project is
$880,000 (Amount'C). The construction phase will be started upon completion of design,
dependent upon availability of federal funds, and approval of the Texas Transportation
Commission. A separate grant will be issued for the construction phase.

This grant should not be construed as block grant funds for the Sponsor, but as a grant for
funding of the scope items as listed on page one of this agreement. It is the intent of the
State to provide funding to complete the approved work items of this grant and not to
amend the scope of work to include items outside of the current determined needs of this
project. Scope of work may be amended as necessary to fulfill the unforeseen needs of
this specific development project within the spirit of the approved scope, subject to the

subject to the availability of federal funds. Participation in additional federally eligible
costs may require approval by the Texas Transportation Commission. The State will not
authorize expenditures in excess of the dollar amounts identified in this Agreement and
any amendments thereto, without the consent of the Sponsor.
Conversely, it is mutually understood and agreed that if during the life of the project, the State
determines that the grant amount exceeds the expected costs of the project scope, the grant
amount can be reduced by amendment. Upon issuance of either of the aforementioned

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 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 nonaeronautical purposes must first be approved by the Secretary.

Airport Assurances (06/02/97 - State Modified 7/97) A- 4
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, including the adoption of zoning laws, to the extent reasonable, 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 its airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination,
to any person, firm, or corporation to conduct or to engage in any aeronautical activity for furnishing 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.
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, nontenant, 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 nontenants and signatory carriers and nonsignatory,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.
f. 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 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, 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.
Airport Assurances (06/02/97 - State Modified 7/97) A- 5
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 the airport budget in a format prescribed by the Secretary;
b. for airport development projects, make the airport and all airport records and documents affecting the airport,
including deeds, leases, operation and use agreements, regulations and other instruments, available for inspection by any
duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon reasonable request;
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 �y the Secretary, provide to the Secretary and make available to the public
following each of its fiscal years, an annual report listing in detail:
(1) all amounts paid by the airport to any other unit of government and the purposes for which each such
payment was made; and
(2) 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, or weather -reporting and communication activities related to air traffic control, any areas
of land or water, or estate therein, or rights in buildings of the sponsor as the Secretary considers necessary 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 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 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.
b. (1) 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, (a) 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
(b) be paid to the Secretary for deposit in the Trust Fund if no eligible project exists.
(2) Land shall be considered to be needed for airport purposes under this assurance if (a) it may be needed for
aeronautical purposes (including runway protection zones) or serve as noise buffer land, and (b) 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.
c. Disposition of such land under (a) or (b) 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.

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 which such foreign country is listed by the United States
Trade Representative as denying fair and equitable market opportunities for products and suppliers of the United States in
procurement and construction.
34. Policies, Standards, and Specifications. It will carry out the project in accordance with policies, standards, and
specifications approved by the Secretary including but not limited to the advisory circulars listed in the Current FAA Advisory
Circulars for AIP projects, dated May 1. 1995 and included in this grant, and in accordance with applicable state policies,

property owners for necessary expenses as specified in Subpart B. (2) It will provide a relocation assistance program
offering the services described in Subpart C and fair and reasonable relocation payments and assistance to displaced
persons as required in Subpart D and E of 49 CFR Part 24: (3) It will make available within a reasonable period of time
prior to displacement, comparable replacement dwellings to displaced persons in accordance with Subpart E of 49 CFR
Part 24.
36. Access By Intercity Buses. The airport owner or operator will permit, to the maximum extent practicable, intercity buses or
other modes of transportation to have access to the airport, however, it has no obligation to fund special facilities for
intercity buses or for other modes of transportation.
