Notice of Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Approvals and
Disapprovals
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Monthly Notice of PFC Approvals and Disapprovals. In December
2009, there were nine applications approved. This notice also includes
information on one other application, disapproved in November 2009,
inadvertently left off the November 2009 notice. Additionally, five
approved amendments to previously approved applications are listed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA publishes a monthly notice, as appropriate, of PFC
approvals and disapprovals under the provisions of the Aviation Safety
and Capacity Expansion Act of 1990 (Title IX of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1990) (Pub. L. 101-508) and Part 158 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 158). This notice is
published pursuant to paragraph d of Sec. 158.29.
PFC Application Disapproved
Public Agency: Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, Orlando,
Florida.
Application Number: 09-12-C-00-MCO.
Application Type: Impose and use a PFC.
Determination: This application involved a request to blend four
previously issued decisions (00-08-C-00-MCO, 02-09-C-00-MCO, 05-10-C-
00-MCO and 07-11-C-00-MCO) into a new decision in order to maintain a
consistent PFC level of $4.50. The FAA examined the public agency's
request and found that it was not consistent with the FAA's policies
and procedures for blending decisions. Therefore, the FAA denied the
public agency's request which had the ultimate effect of disapproving
the application request.
