is granted to any person, farm, or corporation to conduct or engage in any aeronautical activity for
furnishing services to the public at the airport, the sponsor will insert and enforce provisions requiring
the contractor to-
(1) furnish said services on a fair, equal, and not unjustly discriminatory basis to all users thereof,
and
(2) charge fair, reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory prices for each unit or service, provided
that the contractor may be allowed to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory discounts,
rebates, or other similar types of price reductions to volume purchasers.
C. Each faxed-based operator at any airport owned by the sponsor shall be subject to the same rates,
fees, rentals,and other charges as are uniformly applicable to all other faxed-based operators making
the same or similar uses of such airport,and utilizing the same or similar facilities.
d. Each air carrier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to use any fixed-based
operator that is authorized or permitted by the airport to serve any air carrier at such airport.
e. Each air carrier using such airport (whether as a tenant, nontenant, or subtenant of another air carrier
tenant) shall be subject to such nondiscriminatory and substantially comparable rules, regulations,
conditions, rates, fees, rentals, and other charges with respect to facilities directly and substantially
related to providing air transportation as are applicable to all such air carriers which make similar use
of such airport and utilize similar facilities, subject to reasonable classifications such as tenants or
nontenants and signatory carriers and nonsignatory carriers. Classification or status as tenant or
signatory shall not be unreasonably withheld by any airport provided an air carrier assumes obligations
substantially similar to those already imposed on air carriers in such classification or status.
Airport Assurances (7-94) Page 7 of 11
f. It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent any person, firm, or
corporation operating aircraft on the airport; from performing any services on its own aircraft with its
own employees (including, but not limited to maintenance, repair, and fueling) that it may choose to
perform.
g. In the event the sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges referred to in this assurance,
the services involved will be provided on the same conditions as would apply to the furnishing of such
services by contractors or concessionaires of the sponsor under these provisions.
h. The sponsor may establish such fair, equal, and not unjustly discriminatory conditions to be met by all
users of the airport as may be necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the airport.
i. The sponsor may prohibit or limit any given type, kind or class of aeronautical use of the airport if such
action is necessary for the safe operation of the airport or necessary to serve the civil aviation needs
of the public.
23. Exclusive Rights. It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by any person providing, or
intending to provide, aeronautical services to the public. For purposes of this paragraph, the providing of
the services at an airport by a single fixed-based operator shall not be construed as an exclusive right if
both of the following apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly, burdensome, or impractical for more than one fixed-based operator to
provide such services, and
b. If allowing more than one fixed-based operator to provide such services would require the reduction of
space leased pursuant to an existing agreement between such single fixed-based operator and such
airport.
It further agrees that it will not, either directly or,indirectly, grant or permit any person, firm, or
corporation, the exclusive right at the airport to conduct any aeronautical activities, including, but not
limited to charter flights, pilot training, aircraft rental and sightseeing, aerial photography, crop dusting,
aerial advertising and surveying, air carrier operations, aircraft sales and services, sale of aviation
petroleum products whether or not conducted in conjunction with other aeronautical activity, repair and
maintenance of aircraft, sale of aircraft parts, and any other activities which because of their direct
relationship to the operation of aircraft can be regarded as an aeronautical activity, and that it will
terminate any exclusive right to conduct an aeronautical activity now existing at such an airport before
the grant of any assistance under the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982.
24. Fee and Rental Structure. It will maintain a fee and rental structure consistent with Assurance 22 and 23
for the facilities and services being provided the airport users which will make the airport as self-sustaining
as possible under the circumstances existing at the particular airport, taking into account such factors as the
volume of traffic and economy of collection. No part of the Federal share of an airport development, airport
planning or noise compatibility project for which a grant islmade under the Airport and Airway Improvement
Act of 1982, the Federal Airport Act or the Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be included in
the rate basis in establishing fees, rates, and charges for users of that airport.
25. Airport Revenues. If the airport is under the control of a public agency, all revenues generated by the
airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel established after December 30, 1987, will be expended by it for
the capital or operating costs of the airport; the local airport system; or other local facilities which are owned
or operated by the owner or operator of the airport and directly and substantially related to the actual air
transportation of passengers or property; or for noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport. Provided,
however, that if covenants or assurances in debt oblig tions issued before September 3, 1982, by the
owner or operator of the airport, or provisions enacted tefore September 3, 1982, in governing statutes
controlling the owner or operator's financing, provide for the use of the revenues from any of the airport
owner or operator's facilities, including the airport, to support not only the airport but also the airport owner
or operator's general debt obligations or other facilities,l then this limitation on the use of all revenues
generated by the airport (and, in the case of a public airport, local taxes on aviation fuel) shall not apply.

26. Reports and Inspections. It will submit to the Secretary such annual or special financial and operations
reports aS the Secretary may reasonably request. A report of the airport budget will be available to the
public at reasonable times and places. For airport development projects, it will also make the airport and all
airport records and documents affecting the airport, including deeds, leases, operation and use agreements,
regulations and other instruments, available for inspection by any duly authorized agent of the Secretary
upon reasonable request. For noise compatibility program projects, it will also make records and
documents relating to the project and continued compliance with the terms, conditions, and assurances of
the grant agreement including deeds, leases, agreements, regulations, and other instruments, available for
inspection by any duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon reasonable request.
27. Use by Government Aircraft. It will matte available all of the facilities of the airport developed with
Federal financial assistance and all those usable for landing and takeoff of aircraft to the United States for
use by Government aircraft in common with other aircraft at all times without charge, except, if the use by
Government aircraft is substantial, charge may be made for a reasonable share, proportional to such use,
for the cost of operating and maintaining the facilities used. Unless otherwise determined by the Secretary,
or otherwise agreed to by the sponsor and the using agency, substantial use of an airport by Government
aircraft will be considered to exist when operations of such aircraft are in excess of those which, in the
opinion of the Secretary, would unduly interfere with use of the landing areas by other authorized aircraft, or
during any calendar month that-
a. Five (5) or more Government aircraft are regularly based at the airport or on land adjacent thereto; or
b. The total number of movements (counting each landing as a movement) of Government aircraft is
300 or more, or the gross accumulative weight of Government aircraft using the airport (the total
movement of Government aircraft multiplied by gross weights of such aircraft) is in excess of five
million pounds.
28. Land for Federal Facilities. It will furnish without cost to the Federal Government for use in connection
with any air traffic control or air navigation activities, or weather-reporting and communication activities
related to air traffic control, any areas of land or water, or estate therein, or rights in buildings of the sponsor
as the Secretary considers necessary or desirable for construction, operation, and maintenance at Federal
expense of space or facilities for such purposes. Such areas or any portion thereof will be made available
as provided herein within four months after receipt of a written request from the Secretary.
29. Airport Layout Plan.
a. It will keep up to date at all times an airport layout plan of the airport showing (1) boundaries of the
airport and all proposed additions thereto, together with the boundaries of all offsite areas owned or
controlled by the sponsor for airport purposes and proposed additions thereto; (2) the location and
nature of all existing and proposed airport facilities and structures (such as runways, taxiways, aprons,
terminal buildings, hangars and roads), including all proposed extensions and reductions of existing
airport facilities; and (3) the location of all existing and proposed nonaviation areas and of all existing
improvements thereon. Such airport layout plans and each amendment, revision, or modification
thereof, shall be subject to the approval of the Secretary which approval shall be evidenced by the
signature of a duly authorized representative of the Secretary on the face of the airport layout plan.
The sponsor will not make or permit any changes or alterations in the airport or any of its facilities
which are not in conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the Secretary and which might,
in the opinion of the Secretary, adversely affect the safety, utility or efficiency of the airport.
b. If a change or alteration in the airport or the facilities is made which the Secretary determines
adversely affects the safety, utility, or efficiency of any federally owned, leased, or funded property on
or off the airport and which is not in conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the
Secretary, the owner or operator will, if requested, by the Secretary (1) eliminate such adverse effect
in a manner approved by the Secretary; or (2) bear all costs of relocating such property (or
replacement thereof) to a site acceptable to the Secretary and all costs of restoring such property (or
Airport Assurances (7-94) Page 9 of 11
replacement thereof) to the level of safety, utility, efficiency, and cost of operation existing before the
unapproved change in the airport or its facilities. I
30. Civil Rights. It will comply with such rules as are promulgated to assure that no person shall, on the
grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, or handicap be excluded from participating in any
activity conducted with or benefitting from funds received from this grant. This assurance obligates the
sponsor for the period during which Federal financial assistance is extended to the program, except where
Federal financial assistance is to provide, or is in the foram of personal property or real property or interest
therein or structures or improvements thereon in which Icase the assurance obligates the sponsor or any
transferee for the longer of the following periods: (a) the period during which the property is used for a
purpose for which Federal financial assistance is extended, or for another purpose involving the provision of
similar services or benefits, or (b) the period during which the sponsor retains ownership or possession of
the property.
31. Disposal of Land.
a. For land purchased under a grant for airport noise compatibility purposes, it will dispose of the land,
when the land is no longer needed for such purposes, at fair market value, at the earliest practicable
time. That portion of the proceeds of such disposition which is proportionate to the United States'
share of acquisition of such land will, at the discretion of the Secretary, 1) be paid to the Secretary for
deposit in the Trust Fund,or 2) be reinvested in an approved noise compatibility project as prescribed
by the Secretary.
b. (1) For land purchased under a grant for airport development purposes (other than noise
compatibility), it will, when the land is no longer needed for airport purposes, dispose of such land at
fair market value or make available to the Secretary an amount equal to the United States'
proportionate share of the fair market value of the land. That portion of the proceeds of such
disposition which is proportionate to the United States' share of the cost of acquisition of such land
will, (a) upon application to the Secretary, be reinvested in another eligible airport improvement
project or projects approved by the Secretary at that airport or within the national airport system, or (b)
be paid to the Secretary for deposit in the Trust Fund if no eligible project exists.
(2) Land shall be considered to be needed for airport purposes under this assurance if (a) it may be
needed for aeronautical purposes (including runway protection zones) or serve as noise buffer land,
and (b) the revenue from interim uses of such land'contributes to the financial self-sufficiency of the
airport. Further, land purchased with a grant received by an airport operator or owner before
December 31, 1987, will be considered to be needed for airport purposes if the Secretary or Federal
agency making such grant before December 31, 1987, was notified by the operator or owner of the
uses of such land, did not object to such use, and the land continues to be used for that purpose, such
use having commenced no later than December 15,'1989.
G. Disposition of such land under(a) or(b)will be subject to the retention or reservation of any interest or
right therein necessary to ensure that such land will only be used for purposes which are compatible
with noise levels associated with operation of the airport.
32. Engineering and Design Services. It will award each contract, or sub-contract for program management,
construction management, planning studies, feasibility studies, architectural services, preliminary
engineering, design, engineering, surveying, mapping or,related services with respect to the project in the
same manner as a contract for architectural and engineering services is negotiated under Title IX of the
Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 or an equivalent qualifications-based
requirement prescribed for or by the sponsor of the airport
33. Foreign Market Restrictions. It will not allow funds provided under this grant to be used to fund any
project which uses any product or service of a foreign jcountry during the period in which such foreign
country is listed by the United States Trade Representative as denying fair and equitable market
opportunities for products and suppliers of the United States in procurement and construction.
