PART 151_FEDERAL AID TO AIRPORTS--Table of Contents

 

     Subpart B_Rules and Procedures for Airport Development Projects

 

Sec. 151.25  Procedures: Application; information as to property 

interests.



    (a) Each sponsor must state in its application all of the property 

interests that he holds in the lands to be developed or used as part of, 

or in connection with, the airport as it will be when the project is 

completed. Each project application contains a covenant on the part of 

the sponsor to acquire, before starting construction work, or within a 

reasonable time if not needed for the construction, property interests 

satisfactory to the Administrator in all the lands in which it does not 

hold those property interests at the time it submits the application. In 

the case of a joint project, any one or more of the sponsors may hold or 

acquire the necessary property interests. In such a case, each sponsor 

may show on its application only those property interests that it holds 

or is to acquire.

    (b) Each sponsor of a project must send with its application a 

property map (designated as Exhibit A) or incorporate such a map by 

reference to one in a previous application that was approved. The 

sponsor must clearly identify on the map all property interests required 

in paragraph (a) of this section, showing prior and proposed 

acquisitions for which United States aid is requested under the project.

    (c) For the purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, the 

property interest that the sponsor must have or agree to obtain, is--

    (1) Title free and clear of any reversionary interest, lien, 

easement, lease, or other encumbrance that, in the opinion of the 

Administrator, would create an undue risk that it might deprive the 

sponsor of possession or control, interfere with its use for public 

airport purposes, or make it impossible for the sponsor to carry out the 

agreements and covenants in the application;

    (2) A lease of not less than 20 years granted to the sponsor by 

another public agency that has title as described in paragraph (c)(1) of 

this section, on terms that the Administrator considers satisfactory; or

    (3) In the case of an offsite area an agreement, easement, 

leasehold, or other right or property interest that, in the 

Administrator's opinion, provides reasonable assurance that the sponsor 

will not be deprived of its right to use the land for the intended 

purpose during the period necessary to meet the requirements of the 

grant agreement.

    (d) For the purposes of this section, the word ``land'' includes 

landing areas, building areas, runway clear zones, clearways and 

approach zones, and areas required for offsite construction, entrance 

roads, drainage, protection of approaches, installation of air 

navigation facilities, or other airport purposes.
