Oklahoma Air Service Development Grant Program
Status: in_force

A. There is hereby created within the Oklahoma Department of

Aerospace and Aeronautics, the Oklahoma Air Service Development

Grant Program. The Oklahoma Air Service Development Grant Program

(OASDGP) is designed to offer financial assistance by grant to

private or public entities for the purpose of assisting commercial

air service development. Grant funding is administered based on

merit and the potential for a specific project to enhance the

state’s economy. Grants are one-time awards.

B. Grant funding can be used for commercial air service

development projects and include minimum revenue guarantees for

specific new routes, marketing and advertising of service, market

study and research projects to develop data for a business case for

new service, start-up cost offsets to reduce the cost of an airline

beginning service, and other innovative risk sharing models to

support the introduction of new airline service in the state.

Grants must be used to recruit service in an airport-pair that has

no current, daily scheduled airline service. Grants may not be used

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3. Aircraft and Airports Page 118

to support current routes or to recruit a second carrier to an

airport-pair.

C. Public, private and nonprofit entities within this state

that have sufficient financial and management capacity to complete

the requested project are eligible for funding under this program.

Eligible entities include:

1. Airport sponsors of publicly owned airports;

2. Oklahoma municipalities;

3. Chambers of commerce; or

4. Community organizations that promote economic development.

D. Each application must include a detailed business plan with

supporting data for the proposed project. The business plan should

include:

1. Available passengers for the route including local demand

and connecting demand;

2. Detail on available revenue;

3. Current and historical fare data relative to peers and how

the project will lower fares; and

4. Business demand for companies based in this state or doing

business in this state that may use the proposed route.

E. Projects with airline support will be considered first for

funding under this program. Airline support can be evidenced by a

letter, dated, signed, and on airline letterhead, or other

communication directly from an airline stating its support for the

funding and its interest in the proposed route. An airline letter

of support is not required for funding to be allocated to a project

but will be used in prioritizing fund awards.

F. To be considered for state funding under this program,

applicants must demonstrate the ability to provide a minimum twenty

percent (20%) of all funding for the project through local sources.

Local funding should be dedicated to the project and evidenced by

letters of commitment before an application is submitted. Any

private enterprise or nonairport, nonmunicipal, nonprofit entity

must have a letter of credit to qualify for a grant without a public

partner.

G. Each application should include a narrative organized into

seven (7) sections:

1. A proposal summary;

2. Applicant organization description, history, and ability to

fund the project;

3. Air service background and history of the airport/market;

4. Project description, target route, and specific business

plan for service;

5. Timeline;

6. Budget including local funding; and

7. Letters of support.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3. Aircraft and Airports Page 119

H. Applications will first be vetted for completeness. Any

application which does not include the information listed in

subsection G will be eliminated from consideration. Any application

that does not include local funding for at least twenty percent

(20%) of the project cost will be eliminated from consideration.

Any applicant that cannot demonstrate he or she is working with an

airport sponsor on the project will be eliminated from

consideration.

I. Once applications have been deemed to meet minimum

requirements, they will be evaluated for funding against each other,

with special attention paid to the following criteria in this order:

1. The viability of the business case for service and the

opportunity for service to be sustainable;

2. The need for the service in the community and region;

3. The challenges with current air service that could be

rectified with grant funding;

4. Share of local funding versus grant funding;

5. Airline support for the project;

6. Broad-based stakeholder support for the project; and

7. The ability to use the funding in a timely manner.

The Oklahoma Department of Commerce shall be part of this review

process. The state may request additional information from the

applicant and may require a written response from the applicant for

any outstanding questions. The state reserves the right to require

formal presentations from each applicant to explain the proposed

project.

J. The state will enter into a grant agreement contract with

recipients prior to distributing program funds. The agreement shall

include:

1. The specific project receiving grant funding;

2. The maximum dollar amount of state funding;

3. Effective dates of the grant;

4. Rights to terminate the grant agreement;

5. Inspection and reporting requirements to verify project

status and expenditures; and

6. Conditions of disbursement of grant funds including

obligation to repay funds if the terms of the agreement are not met.

The grant agreement contract shall require the awardee to

provide ongoing quarterly reports stating progress and detailing any

activity related to the project.

participation in certain charity organized activities, the

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3A. Amusements and Sports Page 123

Legislature declares that it is necessary to restrict the conducting

of certain games of chance by enacting an Oklahoma Charity Games

Act. Such restrictions are for the purpose of authorizing the

conducting of certain games of chance to certain organizations which

function exclusively for charitable purposes in conformance with

state and federal laws regulating such organizations.

welfare, and safety of the citizens of the State of Oklahoma that

games of chance offered to the public by other than charitable

organizations which are commonly referred to as "commercial bingo"

or "commercial operations" are hereby prohibited in this state.

The Legislature further finds that offering to the public

certain types of games of chance including but not limited to games

commonly referred to as bingo games and other types of instant

winner games by other than a licensed organization is declared to be

a "commercial operation" and is in violation of the law.

decision is illegal, in whole or in part, and specifying the grounds

of the illegality. Such petition shall be presented to the court

within thirty (30) days after the decision is filed in the office of

the Board.

(2) Upon presentation of such petition, the court may review

such decision of the Board. The allowance of an appeal shall not

stay proceedings upon the decision appealed from, but the court may,

on application, and with notice to the Board and on due cause shown,

grant a restraining order.

(3) The Board of Adjustment shall not be required to return the

original papers acted upon by it, but it shall be sufficient to

return certified or sworn copies thereof or of such portions thereof

as may be called for by the court. The return shall concisely set

grounds of the decision appealed from and shall be verified.

(4) The court shall have exclusive jurisdiction to affirm,

modify, or set aside the decision brought up for review, in whole or

of Adjustment. The findings of fact of the Board, if supported by

substantial evidence, shall be accepted by the court as conclusive,

unless it appears to the court that it acted with gross negligence,

in bad faith, or with malice, in making the decision appealed from.

(6) In any case in which airport zoning regulations adopted

under this act, although generally reasonable, are held by a court

to interfere with the use or enjoyment of a particular structure or

parcel of land to such an extent, or to be so onerous in their

application to such a structure or parcel of land, as to constitute

a taking or deprivation of that property in violation of the

Constitution of this state or the Constitution of the United States,

such holding shall not affect the application of such regulations to

other structures and parcels of land.

Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics established as
Status: in_force

clearinghouse for unmanned aircraft systems.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3. Aircraft and Airports Page 121

A. The Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics is

hereby established as the clearinghouse for unmanned aircraft

systems (UAS) and advanced air mobility (AAM) in this state and

shall be designated as the agency of this state for the promotion,

enhancement and development of UAS and AAM as well as any associated

infrastructure necessary to ensure the safe integration and use of

this new technology within the state. The purpose of this

clearinghouse is to create a partnership between those entities that

currently operate UAS, those that desire to use this technology in

the future and other entities that can support the research and

development of UAS to ensure that this state can more effectively

respond to the needs of this critical sector of the aviation and

aerospace industry. In the operation of this clearinghouse, the

Department shall cooperate, assist and coordinate with the federal

government, agencies of this state, tribal entities, municipalities

and other persons in the development of unmanned aircraft systems

throughout the state to ensure the acceptance of this technology and

the successful integration of UAS into the National Airspace System.

Contingent upon the availability of funds, the Oklahoma Department

of Aerospace and Aeronautics may use established program processes

or may contract with other qualified entities to carry out the

duties and responsibilities of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Development Act of 2021.

B. The primary goal of the clearinghouse within the Department

is to establish a central point within state government to develop

the strategy for how this state can become a leader in the UAS and

AAM industry. It will focus the collective resources, knowledge,

information and assets within state government to ensure coordinated

efforts amongst all parties. The clearinghouse will:

1. Conduct research on what other states and localities are

doing insofar as their UAS rules and regulations so that it can

provide recommendations to ensure this state is in the best position

within the industry;

2. Organize and coordinate the application for any UAS and AAM

test site, integration opportunity, pilot program or grant funding

on behalf of this state;

3. Maintain a registry of UAS being operated by state agencies,

except those UAS that are part of a university-affiliated research

program;

4. Maintain a registry of educational institutions that offer

training programs for users of UAS; and

5. Investigate the development of and, if necessary, create a

statewide system plan that will provide the framework for the

construction, development, siting, and potential partnerships

required for vertiports and other infrastructure needed to integrate

AAM and UAS into the existing air transportation system of the

state.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 3. Aircraft and Airports Page 122

C. The Department is authorized to enter into partnerships with

any city or town of this state and any county or political

subdivision or district of this state, or any public trust thereof,

for the purpose of investing in and operating infrastructure and any

other items necessary to safely and effectively integrate AAM and

UAS into the existing air transportation system of the state as well

as the testing and development of these new aeronautical

technologies.
