                         Partially approved. The approved amount was reduced from the requested amount because the requested amount was inadvertently recorded incorrectly in the PFC application. Runway and taxiway rehabilitation. *Determination:*
                         Partially approved. The public agency did not provide information on justification for the drainage and compass calibration pad components of this project. Therefore, those components are not PFC eligible. The approved amount was reduced from the amount requested to account for those components determined ineligible. Land acquisition. *Determination:*
                         Partially approved. The approved amount was reduced from the requested amount because the requested amount was inadvertently recorded incorrectly in the PFC application. *Brief Description of Project Disapproved:*
                         Terminal hold room expansion. *Determination:*
                         Disapproved. The FAA has determined that due to the declining number of enplanements at Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV) over the past 10 years, an absence of adequate information to signal a reversal of the current enplanement trend, and an absence of adequate information to show that the existing terminal area space does not sufficiently accommodate current demand, expansion of the terminal hold room is not justified. Therefore, this project does not meet the requirements of § 158.15, and is disapproved. In making this determination, the FAA examined the project using the guidelines contained in paragraph 69b of FAA Advisory Circular 150/5360-13, Design Guidelines for Airport Terminal Facilities. *Decision Date:*
                         March 2, 2000.
