Federal Aviation Administration, DOT 

§ 151.93 

(2) It was acquired to provide an air-

port entrance road and was not, before 
the existence of the airport, a public 
thoroughfare; 

(3) The entrance road is intended 

only as a way in and out of the airport; 
and 

(4) The entrance road extends only to 

the nearest public highway, road, or 
street. 

(c) An entrance road may be joined to 

an existing highway or street with a 
normal fillet connection. However, ac-
celeration-deceleration strips or grade 
separations are not eligible. 

(d) Offsite road or street relocation 

needed to allow airport development or 
to remove an obstruction, and is not 
for entrance road purposes, is eligible. 

(e) Appendix G sets forth typical eli-

gible and ineligible items of road con-
struction covered by this section. 

§ 151.91

Removal of obstructions. 

(a) The removal or relocation, or 

both, of obstructions, as defined in 
Technical Standard Order N18 is eligi-
ble under the Program in cases where 
definite arrangements are made to pre-
vent the obstruction from being recre-
ated. In a case where removal is not 
feasible, the cost of marking or light-
ing it is eligible. The removal and relo-
cation of structures necessary for es-
sential airport development is eligible. 
The removal of structures that are not 
obstructions under § 77.23 of this chap-
ter as applied to § 77.27 of this chapter 
are eligible when they are located 
within a runway clear zone. 

(b) The removal and relocation of an 

airport hangar that is an airport haz-
ard (as described in § 151.39(b)) is eligi-
ble, if the reerected hangar will be sub-
stantially identical to the disassem-
bled one. 

(c) Whenever a hangar must be relo-

cated (either for clearance of the site 
for other airport development or to re-
move a hazard) and the existing struc-
ture is to be relocated with or without 
disassembly, the cost of the relocation 
is an eligible item of project costs, in-
cluding costs incidental to the reloca-
tion such as necessary footings and 
floors. However, if the existing struc-
ture is to be demolished and a new 
hangar is to be built, only the cost of 

demolishing the existing hangar is an 
eligible item.

§ 151.93

Buildings; utilities; sidewalks; 

parking areas; and landscaping. 

(a) Only buildings or parts of build-

ings intended to house facilities or ac-
tivities directly related to the safety of 
persons at the airport, including fire 
and rescue equipment buildings, are el-
igible items under the Federal-aid Air-
port Program. To the extent they are 
necessary to house snow removal and 
abrasive spreading equipment, and to 
provide minimum protection for abra-
sive materials, field maintenance 
equipment buildings are eligible items 
in any airport development project for 
an airport in a location having a mean 
daily minimum temperature of zero de-
grees Fahrenheit, or less, for at least 20 
days each year for the 5 years pre-
ceding the year when Federal aid is re-
quested under § 151.21(a), based on the 
statistics of the U.S. Department of 
Commerce Weather Bureau if avail-
able, or other evidence satisfactory to 
the Administrator. 

(b) Airport utility construction, in-

stallation, and connection are eligible 
under the Federal-aid Airport Program 
as follows: 

(1) An airport utility serving only eli-

gible areas and facilities is eligible; 
and 

(2) An airport utility serving both el-

igible and ineligible airport areas and 
facilities is eligible only to the extent 
of the additional cost of providing the 
capacity needed for eligible areas and 
facilities over and above the capacity 
necessary for the ineligible areas and 
facilities. 

However, a water system is eligible 
only to the extent necessary to provide 
fire protection for aircraft operations, 
and to provide water for a fire and res-
cue equipment building. 

(c) No part of the constructing, alter-

ing, or repairing (including grading, 
drainage, and other site preparation 
work) of a facility or area that is to be 
used as a public parking facility for 
passenger automobiles is eligible for 
inclusion in a project.
