    (c) The authorized officer may cancel, in whole or in part, a lease 

issued under the Act for any of the following reasons: Lessee failure to

months; use of the property or any part thereof for a purpose other than

ratings set by the Federal Aviation Administration; failure to comply 

with the regulations in this part or the terms of the lease.

    (d) Leases under the Act shall be for a period not to exceed 20 

years and may be renewed for like periods.

    (e) Annual rental for leases to any citizen of the United States, 

any group or association of citizens, or any corporation organized under 

the laws of the United States or any State shall be at appraised fair

political subdivisions thereof, including counties and municipalities, 

shall pay to the lessor an annual rental calculated at the appraised 

fair market value of the rental of the property less 50%, with a minimum 

annual rental payment of $100. In fixing the rentals, consideration 

shall be given to all pertinent facts and circumstances, including use 

of the airport by government departments and agencies. Rental of each

departments or agencies shall have the right to erect and install 

therein such structures and improvements as are deemed advisable by the 

heads of such departments and agencies. Whenever the President may deem 

it necessary for military purposes, the Secretary of the Army may assume 

full control of the airport.
