will be set forth in the Grant Agreement re-
lating to the project. Such areas or any por-
tion thereof will be made available as pro-
vided herein within 4 months after receipt of 
written requests from the FAA. 

28. 

Fee and rental structure. 

The airport op-

erator or owner will maintain a fee and rent-
al structure for the facilities and services 
being provided the airport users which will 
make the Airport as self-sustaining as pos-
sible under the circumstances existing at the 
Airport, taking into account such factors as 
the volume of traffic and economy of collec-
tion. 

29. 

Reports to FAA. 

The Sponsor will fur-

nish the FAA with such annual or special 
airport financial and operational reports as 
may be reasonably requested. Such reports 
may be submitted on forms furnished by the 
FAA, or may be submitted in such manner as 
the Sponsor elects so long as the essential 
data are furnished. The Airport and all air-
port records and documents affecting the 
Airport, including deeds, leases, operation 
and use agreements, regulations, and other 
instruments, will be made available of in-
spection and audit by the Secretary and the 
Comptroller General of the United States, or 
their duly authorized representatives, upon 
reasonable request. The Sponsor will furnish 
to the FAA or to the General Accounting Of-
fice, upon request, a true copy of any such 
document. 

30. 

System of accounting. 

All project ac-

counts and records will be kept in accord-
ance with a standard system of accounting if 
so prescribed by the Secretary. 

31. 

Interfering right. 

If at any time it is de-

termined by the FAA that there is any out-
standing right or claim of right in or to the 
Airport property, other than those set forth 
in Part II of the Application for Federal As-
sistance, the existence of which creates an 
undue risk of interference with the operation 
of the Airport or the performance of the cov-
enants of this part, the sponsor will acquire, 
extinguish, or modify such right or claim of 
right in a manner acceptable to the FAA. 

32. 

Performance obligation. 

The Sponsor will 

not enter into any transaction which would 
operate to deprive it of any of the rights and 
powers necessary to perform any or all of the 
covenants made herein, unless by such trans-
action the obligation to perform all such 
covenants is assumed by another public 
agency found by the FAA to be eligible under 
the Act and Regulations to assume such obli-
gations and having the power, authority, and 
financial resources to carry out all such obli-
gations. If an arrangement is made for man-
agement or operation of the Airport by any 
agency or person other than the Sponsor or 
an employee of the Sponsor, the Sponsor will 
reserve sufficient rights and authority to in-
sure that the Airport will be operated and 
maintained in accordance with the Act, the 
Regulations, and these covenants. 

33. 

Meaning of terms. 

Unless the context 

otherwise requires, all terms used in these 
covenants which are defined in the Act and 
the Regulations shall have the meanings as-
signed to them therein.
