Notice of Opportunity To Participate, Criteria Requirements and Change of Application Procedure for Participation in the Fiscal Year 1996 Military Airport Program (MAP)

Résumé

This notice announces the revised criteria, application procedures and schedule to be applied by the Secretary of Transportation in designating additional airports for participation in the 1996 Military Airport Program (MAP). Airports must be current or former military airfields to qualify. Airports will be designated in part based on their ability to relieve congested airports having 20,000 hours or more of annual delays in commercial passenger aircraft takeoff and landings. Further, currently designated airports, with fewer than five years in the MAP, requesting to continue in the program, must submit a current 5-year capital improvement plan which identifies conversion-related and capacity-related projects. Currently the MAP does not extend beyond 1996. This notice responds to 49 U.S.C. 47118, as amended by Section 116 of Public Law 103-305 (August 23, 1994).
