PART 157_NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION, ALTERATION, ACTIVATION, AND DEACTIVATION OF 
 
Sec.  157.5  Notice of intent.

    (a) Notice shall be submitted on FAA Form 7480-1, copies of which 
may be obtained from an FAA Airport District/Field Office or Regional 
Office, to one of those offices and shall be submitted at least--
    (1) In the cases prescribed in paragraphs (a) through (d) of Sec.

    (2) In the cases prescribed in paragraphs (e) through (g) of Sec.  
157.3, 90 days in advance of the planned implementation date.
    (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this section--
    (1) In an emergency involving essential public service, public 
health, or public safety or when the delay arising from the 90-day 
advance notice requirement would result in an unreasonable hardship, a 
proponent may provide notice to the appropriate FAA Airport District/
Field Office or Regional Office by telephone or other expeditious means 
as soon as practicable in lieu of submitting FAA Form 7480-1. However, 
the proponent shall provide full notice, through the submission of FAA 
Form 7480-1, when otherwise requested or required by the FAA.
    (2) notice concerning the deactivation, discontinued use, or 
abandonment of an airport, an airport landing or takeoff area, or 
associated taxiway may be submitted by letter. Prior notice is not 
required; except that a 30-day prior notice is required when an 
established instrument approach procedure is involved or when the 
affected property is subject to any agreement with the United States 
requiring that it be maintained and operated as a public-use airport.
