Details

Abstract: This document provides instructions to the FAA’s Airports District Offices (ADO) and Regional Offices of Airports as well as states participating in FAA’s State Block Grant program regarding changes in legal authority under the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018. This document explains the internal process for reviewing airport layout plan (ALP) changes when new development is proposed by an airport sponsor and provides instructions on release of federal grant obligations and the circumstances under which these actions are necessary. Additionally, this document provides information on the way in which environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) should address the new limitations on FAA’s regulatory authorities. These are internal instructions for implementation of FAA’s statutorily revised authorities over use of airport property and do not require new actions from airport sponsors.
