CHAPTER I--FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

                               (CONTINUED)

 

PART 151_FEDERAL AID TO AIRPORTS--Table of Contents

 

     Subpart B_Rules and Procedures for Airport Development Projects

 

Sec. 151.33  Cosponsorship and agency.



    (a) Any two or more public agencies that desire to participate 

either in accomplishing development under a proj ect or in maintaining 

or operating the airport, may cosponsor it if they meet the requirements 

of subparts B and C, including--

    (1) The eligibility requirements of Sec. 151.37; and

    (2) The submission of a single proj ect application, executed by 

each sponsor, clearly stating the certifications, representations, 

warranties, and obligations made or assumed by each, or a separate 

application by each that does not meet all the requirements of subparts 

B and C if in the Administrator's opinion, the applications collectively 

meet the requirements of subparts B and C as applied to a project with a 

single sponsor.

    (b) A public agency that desires to participate in a project only by 

contributing funds to a sponsor need not become a sponsor or an agent of 

the sponsor, as provided in this section. However, any funds that it 

contributes are considered as funds of the sponsor for the purposes of 

the Federal Airport Act and this part.

    (c) If the sponsors of a joint project are not each willing to 

assume, jointly and severally, the obligations that subparts B and C 

requires a sponsor to assume, they must send a true copy of an agreement 

between them, satisfactory to the Administrator, to be incorporated into 

the grant agreement. Each agreement must state--

    (1) The responsibilities of each sponsor to the others with respect 

to accomplishing the proposed development and operating and maintaining 

the airport;

    (2) The obligations that each will assume to the United States; and

    (3) The name of the sponsor or sponsors who will accept, receipt 

for, and disburse grant payments.



If an offer is made to the sponsors of a joint project, as provided in 

Sec. 151.29, it contains a specific condition that it is made in 

accordance with the agreement between the sponsors (and the agreement is 

incorporated therein by reference) and that, by accepting the offer, 

each sponsor assumes only its respective obligations as set forth in the 

agreement.

    (d) A public agency may, if it is authorized by local law, act as 

agent of the public agency that is to own and operate the airport, with 

or without participating financially and without becoming a sponsor. The 

terms and conditions of the agency and the agent's authority to act for 

the sponsor must be set forth in an agency agreement that is 

satisfactory to the Administrator. The sponsor must submit a true copy 

of the agreement with the project application. Such an agent may accept, 

on behalf of the sponsor, an offer made under Sec. 151.29, only if that 

acceptance has been specifically and legally authorized by the sponsor's 

governing body and the authority is specifically set forth in the agency 

agreement.

    (e) When the cosponsors of an airport are not located in the same 

area, they must submit a joint request to the Area Manager of the area 

in which the airport development will be located.
