Federal Aviation Administration, DOT 

§ 151.77 

(3) For ultimate development of the 

airport, as indicated in the current ap-
proved airport layout plan to the ex-
tent consistent with the National Air-
port Plan; 

(4) For approach protection meeting 

the standards of § 77.23 as applied to 
§§ 77.25 and 77.27 of this chapter; 

(5) To allow installing an ALS (as de-

scribed in § 151.13), in which case the 
costs of acquiring land needed for it are 
eligible for 75 percent United States 
participation if the need is shown in 
the National Airport Plan, based on 
the best information available to the 
FAA for the forecast period; 

(6) To allow proper use, operation, or 

maintenance of the airport as a public 
facility, including offsite lands needed 
for locating necessary parts of the util-
ity systems serving the airport; 

(7) To allow installing navigational 

aids by the FAA, if the land is within 
the airport boundaries; or 

(8) To allow relocation of naviga-

tional aids. 

(b) Appendix A of this part sets forth 

typical eligible and ineligible items of 
land acquisition as covered by this sec-
tion.

§ 151.75

Preparation of site. 

(a) Grading, drainage, and associated 

items of site preparation are eligible 
for inclusion in a project, but only with 
respect to one landing strip at any air-
port, unless the airport qualifies for 
more than one runway, based on traffic 
volume or wind conditions (as outlined 
in § 151.77) and the overall site prepara-
tion required for development in ac-
cordance with the airport layout plan. 
The complete clearance of runway 
clear zone areas is desirable, but, as a 
minimum, all obstructions as deter-
mined by § 77.23 as applied to § 77.27 (b) 
and (c) of this chapter must be re-
moved. Grading in runway clear zones 
is eligible only to remove terrain that 
is an obstruction. The clear zone is not 
a graded overrun area. Specific site 
preparation for an airport terminal 
building is eligible on the same basis as 
the building itself. The site preparation 
cost is prorated based on eligible and 
ineligible building space. Appendix B of 

this part sets forth typical eligible and 
ineligible items of site preparation as 
covered by this section. 

(b) For the purposes of this section, 

eligible drainage work off the airport 
site includes drainage outfalls, drain-
age disposal, and interception ditches. 
If there is damage to adjacent prop-
erty, its correction is an eligible item 
for inclusion in the project.

amended by Amdt. 151–7, 30 FR 7484, June 8, 
1965; Amdt. 151–8, 30 FR 8040, June 23, 1965] 

§ 151.77

Runway paving: General rules. 

(a) On any airport, paving of the des-

ignated instrument landing runway (or 
dominant runway if there is no des-
ignated instrument runway) is eligible 
for inclusion in a project, within the 
limits of the current National Airport 
Plan. Program participation in con-
structing, reconstructing or resur-
facing is limited to a single runway at 
each airport, unless more than one run-
way is eligible under a standard in 
§ 151.79 or § 151.80. 

(b) The kinds of runway paving that 

are eligible for inclusion in a project 
include pavement construction and re-
construction, 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 bitu-
minous resurfacing consisting of at 
least 100 pounds of plant-mixed mate-
rial for each square yard, and except 
for the application of a bituminous sur-
face treatment (two applications of 
material and cover aggregate as pre-
scribed in FAA Specification P–609) on 
a pavement the current surface of 
which consists of that kind of a bitu-
minous 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 indi-
cate 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.
