Sec. 151.3  National Airport Plan.



    (a) Under the Federal Airport Act, the FAA prepares each year a 

``National Airport Plan'' for developing public airports in the United 

States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. In terms of general 

location and type of development, the National Airport Plan specifies 

the maximum limits of airport development that is necessary to provide a 

system of public airports adequate to anticipate and meet the needs of 

civil aeronautics.

    (b) If, within the forecast period, an airport will have a 

substantial aeronautical necessity, it may be included in the National 

Airport Plan. Only work on an airport included in the current Plan is 

eligible for inclusion in the Federal-aid Airport Program to be 

undertaken within currently available appropriations and authorizations. 

However, the inclusion of an airport in the National Airport Plan does 

not commit the United States to include it in the Federal-aid Airport 

Program. In addition, the local community concerned is not required to 

proceed with planning or development of an airport included in the 

National Airport Plan.
