Section 151.77

(3) For ultimate development of the
airport, as indicated in the current approved airport layout plan to the extent consistent with the National Airport Plan;
(4) For approach protection meeting
the standards of Section 77.23 as applied to
SectionSection 77.25 and 77.27 of this chapter;
(5) To allow installing an ALS (as described in Section 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 utility 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 navigational aids.
(b) Appendix A of this part sets forth
typical eligible and ineligible items of
land acquisition as covered by this section.

Section 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 airport, unless the airport qualifies for
more than one runway, based on traffic
volume or wind conditions (as outlined
in Section 151.77) and the overall site preparation required for development in accordance with the airport layout plan.
The complete clearance of runway
clear zone areas is desirable, but, as a
minimum, all obstructions as determined by Section 77.23 as applied to Section 77.27 (b)
and (c) of this chapter must be removed. 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, drainage disposal, and interception ditches.
If there is damage to adjacent property, its correction is an eligible item
for inclusion in the project.

amended by Amdt. 151-7, 30 FR 7484, June 8,

Section 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
Section 151.79 or Section 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.
