Sec. 151.77  Runway paving: General rules.



    (a) On any airport, paving of the designated instrument landing 

runway (or dominant runway if there is no designated instrument runway) 

is eligible for inclusion in a project, within the limits of the current 

National Airport Plan. Program participation in constructing, 

reconstructing or resurfacing is limited to a single runway at each 

airport, unless more than one runway is eligible under a standard in 

Sec. 151.79 or Sec. 151.80.

    (b) The kinds of runway paving that are eligible for inclusion in a 

project include pavement construction and reconstruction, and include 

runway grooving to improve skid resistance, and resurfacing to increase 

the load bearing capacity of the runway or to provide a leveling course 

to correct major irregularities in the pavement. Runway resealing or 

refilling joints as an ordinary maintenance matter are not eligible 

items, except for bituminous resurfacing consisting of at least 100 

pounds of plant-mixed material for each square yard, and except for the 

application of a bituminous surface treatment (two applications of 

material and cover aggregate as prescribed in FAA Specification P-609) 

on a pavement the current surface of which consists of that kind of a 

bituminous surface treatment.

    (c) On new pavement construction, the applying of a bituminous seal 

coat on plant hot-mix bituminous surfaces only, is an eligible item only 

if initial engineering analysis and design indicate the need for a seal 

coat. However, any delay in applying it that is caused other than by 

construction difficulties, makes the application a maintenance item that 

is not eligible.

    (d) In any case in which the need for a seal coat is necessary for a 

new runway extension or partial reconstruction of a runway, the entire 

runway may be sealed.

    (e) Appendix C to this part sets forth typical eligible and 

ineligible items of runway paving.
