finds that the airport or facility is rea-

tions of, airspace; and that it otherwise

istrator. The Administrator may grant 
the recommendation and certification 
subject to conditions that ensure con-
formity of the airport or facility with 
these standards.

Administrator notifies the applicant of 
the grounds for the denial. The Admin-
istrator may revoke a recommendation 
and certification for proper cause.

trator under this part is exercised by 
Regional Airports Division Managers

respective regions.
