    (2) Positioning snow off of movement area surfaces so that all air

clear any snowdrift and snowbank as the aircraft's landing gear 
traverses any full strength portion of the movement area;
    (3) Selection and application of approved materials for snow and ice 
control to ensure that they adhere to snow and ice sufficiently to 
minimize engine ingestion;
    (4) Timely commencement of snow and ice control operations; and
    (5) Prompt notification, in accordance with Sec. 139.339, of all air 
carriers using the airport when any portion of the movement area 
normally available to them is less than satisfactorily cleared for safe 
operation by their aircraft.
    (c) FAA Advisory Circulars in the 150 series contain standards for 
snow and ice control equipment, materials, and procedures for snow and 
ice control which are acceptable to the Administrator.
