Sec. 620.103  Policy.

    (a) Federal-aid highway funds shall not participate in the costs of 
reconstruction or relocation of any highway to which this section 
applies unless the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and State 
officials, in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
or appropriate military authority, or in the case of privately owned 
airports, the owner of that airport, determine that the location or 
extension of the airport in question and the consequent relocation or 
reconstruction of the highway is in the public interest.
    (b) In addition to complying with 23 U.S.C. 318 and insuring the 
prudent use of public funds, it is the policy of FHWA to provide a high 
degree of safety in the location, design, construction and operation of 
highways and airports.
    (c) Federal-aid funds shall not participate in projects where 
substandard clearances are created or will continue to exist.
